Vor einigen Tagen sorgten AfD-Mitglieder mit einer Reise nach New York zu einem Treffen mit den Republikanern für Aufsehen. Bei den Gesprächen ging es @christian-fuchs.bsky.social auch darum, wie die Finanzierung der Zivilgesellschaft trockengelegt werden könne. Genau das sehen wir jetzt.

Die USA belegen jetzt Leute, die sich gegen Hass im Netz einsetzen, mit Einreiseverbot. Das ist kein westlich-demokratischer Rechtsstaat mehr. Ich wünsche mir, dass das auch von PolitikerInnen in Europa so ausgesprochen wird.

Krass: Die US-Regierung hat Sanktionen gegen Anna-Lena von Hodenberg und Josephine Ballon von @hateaid.org erlassen, dazu trifft es auch den früheren EU-Kommissar Thierry Breton, weil "These radical activists and weaponized NGOs have advanced censorship crackdowns by foreign states". Einreiseverbot

The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells.
Americans once opposed this inhumane system.

Two moments that I think might have broken MAGA for good this year: Bondi trying to bury Epstein for Trump and Charlie Kirk's murder. I don't want to give anyone virtues they don't actually have, but I think both these incidents made some of Trump's superfans reassess some things.
