Ich hätte von einer ordentlichen Philosophieprofessorin jetzt auch kein "Halt Dein Maul" oder "Lösch Dich" im öffentlichen Diskurs erwartet aber vielleicht gelten da ja andere Massstäbe.

We need to prepare ourselves for just how bad the trauma bond between the president and the press is going to be.

"Sanewashing" im US-Wahlkampf: Wie der seriöse Journalismus Trumps Irrsinn normalisiert
Viele Medien stellen Donald Trump vernünftiger dar, als er ist. Kolumnist Johannes Franzen erklärt: Das liegt daran, dass sie sich an Regeln halten – und Trump nicht.

The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump.

Fasziniert von der ikonographischen Dichte dieses profanen Fotos. Das menschliche Ritual des 'Verleihens von Würde' ist eben viel älter. Die SiegesTrophäe wird hier zum Fetisch der SelbstErniedrigung, der Demütigung der USA vor der Welt und eine Metapher der Lächerlichkeit 1/2

Wer aus Angst vor dem Alleinsein in einer toxischen Beziehung verbleibt obwohl diese den ersehnten Schutz längst nicht mehr (sondern nur das Gegenteil davon) bieten kann, begibt sich auch der Chance wirklich unabhängig zu werden.

Wo sind ähnliche Aussagen von Kanzler Merz, Außenminister Wadepfuhl, Vizekanzler Klingbeil & Boris Pistorius? Was ein Fehler! Unser loyaler Verbündeter Dänemark & die Menschen in Grönland werden bedroht, aber fast ein Jahr lang feiges Schweigen, das überall laut gehört wird.

I miss moderate centrists, who don’t claim to have all the answers, who don’t ascribe to either extreme ideologies or supposedly god-given rules to try and control other people, and who try to work together to settle problems aware of their own limitations. Where have they gone?

The right sets the terms of our political discourse in so many ways, one of which is the idea that there isn't enough "debate" and "free speech" on campus. We need to push back on this. The truth is (speaking for myself as a history prof), I don't really emphasize debate much in my classes/

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

“Trump’s election, and his subsequent campaign to crush demonstrations, is precisely the scenario that liberal critics warned would occur,” Jonathan Chait writes. That this outcome is being used to discredit those same liberals is perverse yet familiar.

Why the Left Blames Liberals for Trump’s Authoritarianism
The debate, as ever, is whether the left is discredited by its own excesses or by criticism of those excesses.

Kirkland & Ellis, Allen Overy Shearman Sterling, Simpson Thatcher, and Latham & Watkins should be viewed as administration shills now. It would be a mistake to engage them in any matter in which your interests and positions are not congruent with this administration’s.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Here is something from a contract lawyer's perspective. Trump is not "transactional", for he will never be bound. Indeed, he is anti-transactional. A transaction is an exchange, an agreement. But for Trump the agreement is only there to be repudiated, so to gain leverage for his next demand.
