The leaked U.S. trade demands that caused Canada to halt negotiations: Washington demanded direct veto power over Canadian infrastructure, control of critical minerals, and delayed access to generic medicines.
"it’s the former East Germany, downtrodden, an area we’ve seen described as sort of living in the past (we’ll include some news reports at the end for context), the type of forgotten region that’s so often a breeding ground for the kind of xenophobic scapegoating that’s necessary for fascism."

In that case, set up another wall with barbed wire and armed guards and try to get over it. It could be a hit new game show. Take Your Shot, We'll Take Ours.
Perhaps you have seen banners wherever you are, that celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the US. I see one daily: America-250 years of Freedom.
Freedom for whom, I ask? The slaves? The women with no votes or rights to property? Those in dry counties? The interred Japanese? The Natives Americans? Child laborers? The good ol' days were never that good.
Very good piece, accurate description. I just would like to mention that Alice Weidel is NOT a kind of token minority dumbass too stupid to understand that she will be purged too at some moment. She's a hardcore hardliner, calling for shooting to kill immigrants when trying to enter Germany and the kind of nazi trash porn female SS officer with a leather whip. And her party will not purge her when in power, they will just say all dark skinnend immigrants and all LGBTQ to the KZ, with the exception of Weidel's Sri Lankan wife, because our Führeress needs some sexual relaxation after a hard working day for the Deutsches Volk, and if you ask questions, you go to KZ
There is something palatably repulsive about people's alignment with the far right. The far right is an anxious, insecure, shaky, sweaty, shifty, ghoulish group lead by psychopaths. There is nothing funny about this.
I knew that second video was going to piss me off and, sure enough, it did. Basically the reason why these kids (and let's face it, that's what they are) are so disaffected and "left out" is because they're BORED. They also oppose immigration because, as one kid said, "it's taking away OUR unemployment benefits." Uh huh. Ja, ja, genau.
"Allen's friend David"?

So, vassal state?
"All fascists Doom"
Is that what it means?

Some are calling it the Mississippi of Germany
Only good thing came out of Saxony is some of their prettier violins.
"The AfD just wants to Make Germany Great Again"
How'd that work out for them the last time Germans did that?
Pretty good, the eighties and nineties were great.

Oh, I thought that the lede was a quiz.

Too nuanced.
change the slogan of the state from “Think Modern” to “Think German”
What could go wrong, eh? Ha ha, ha ha ha! *starts drinking heavily*
In this instance, I'd prefer to think Merman, as in Ethel.
The THINK method.
Where have I heard that before....Hmmmmmm........
But do East Germans suffer from drag queens aggressively reading books to children ? . . .

And yet they claim to love this country and the Constitution.
Their worldview is incompatible with the Constitution. Or all its faults, the Constitution supports multicultural, pluralistic democracy.
Their right-wing world view is not in alignment with this.
They are incapable of seeing that, though, and think they are the good guys.
Reality has a left-wing bias
Some of them are saying we need to break the Constitution to save it.
This is mental illness talking.
Or “…the world…”

This all sounds like a Charles "Vampire Lesbians of Sodom" Busch play, except with Neo-Nazis.
Leon is an international cancer.
Speaking of international diseases and viruses, I found this article today. I see no lies.

I can't bear to read this, so am coming straight to the comments.

"Is it safe ?" . . .
Still such a frightening scene...
But is it safe?
