My defense: Niklas, Nikolai, me, Rahel, Michael, and VictorMe after my defense.

This is how destruction of freedom of speech & media independence looks like, it’s autocratization & unlevelling the playing field. Yet again, it is not surprising what Trump does, but shocking how weak resistance by civil society & media is. Democratic society in the U.S. is not up to the task.

Regular reminder to 🇩🇪 parties who see such numbers: That AfD got strong bc nobody represented right-wing populist positions does not mean that AfD will lose if you adopt such positions. Often it may just make things worse: you acknowledge you were wrong, AfD was right & now you appear spineless.

Linking public service deprivation to immigration rather than to cuts & administrative burdens is a POLITICAL CHOICE My research shows that “immigrants cutting the cue" framing was key part of far right’s rise in Europe 👇🏽 🇬🇧: ap.lc/jwBBV 🇮🇹: ap.lc/WRePJ Yet another form of far right normalization

3. I think the easiest way to help is aimed as helping science in general rather than US science or scientists. And that is to protect endangered datasets — house them outside of the U.S. and make them publicly available.
