Die Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung #KAS grüßt die ihr nahestehende Partei. Das kann man nicht hoch genug schätzen.

DER SPIEGEL@spiegel.de · 12mo ago

Der Rechtsruck beschäftigt nicht nur Deutschland, in anderen EU-Ländern versuchen sich rechte Parteien in Regierungsverantwortung. Die Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung hat untersucht, was das für Konservative bedeutet.

For those wondering about the lack of Democratic leadership in resisting Trump—here’s my take on the Dems' failure to meet this moment & why I’m still hopeful about grassroots energy. "I have more faith in the American people than in the Democratic Party" www.greeneuropeanjournal.eu/the-democrat...

The Democrats won’t save the US – but Americans might still save themselves

Although the Democratic Party has failed to seize on Trump’s unpopularity, there remains great energy for change at the grassroots level.

Das #Sondervermögen - historisch hohe Schulden, die nicht im Alltag der Menschen ankommen: Brücken, Schulen & Schwimmbäder bröckeln, Busse fehlen, kommunale Wärme - und Energienetze genießen keine Priorität. @janalbrecht.bsky.social analysiert die ersten 100 Tage der Regierung #Merz.

1/ Just got off the phone with my team in Palestine. Last night's attacks on Gaza are yet another war crime by Israel. Over 400 people—mostly civilians—were killed, many in residential buildings, a designated shelter, and other civilian infrastructure.

Ich habe heute eine Stunde digital mit meinen beiden Kolleginnen @hannahwinnick.bsky.social und @teresaeder.bsky.social aus unserem @boell.de Büro in Washington D.C. über die Lage in den #USA nach der Amtsübergabe an Präsident #Trump sowie die Auswirkungen auf Europa gesprochen: youtu.be/7gaA_0Vf8f4

ICYMI, a few key points from the discussion - with the caveat that we are all trying to make sense of what is happening at an incredible speed. These are initial thoughts.

From my former college professor - an expert on Venezuela and the process of autocratization.

Javier Corrales@javiercorrales.bsky.social · 2y ago

All my life I have studied democratization and autocratization. My 1st field trip was to newly democratic Argentina. I then added autocracies to my portfolio: Cuba, Ven, etc. I think I can recognize the stages of transition to authoritarianism. Here are the boxes Trump has already checked off.

Since 2015, our Democracy Program has provided nuanced analysis of the state of US democracy and worked with civil society leaders and policymakers on both sides of the Atlantic to defend democratic values. Now, we’re looking for someone who can build on this work and make it their own. 👇
