I fled Erdogan’s Turkey as a journalist in search of freedom in the U.S. Never did I imagine that my chosen home would face a similar threat. Today, my book feels more relevant and timely than ever for American readers:

49% of U.S. adults say Trump is trying to exercise more presidential power than previous presidents and that this is bad for the country.

When Trump and his team go after a journalist they don’t like, other journalists should stand up, call them out, and hold them accountable. If they don’t, press freedom will disappear way faster than we think. I’ve seen this happen up close in Turkey.

I am shocked that the guy who proudly defended lying to the American people about immigrants eating their neighbors' pets is once again lying. I'll repeat this: once the brain is wired to lie, it's the default, not the choice. Vance can't help but lie; it's who he is. Believe him. He's a liar.

Trump, kişisel kin beslediği insanlara uydurma davalar açmaya başladı. Zaten ikinci döneminin intikam dönemi olacağını söylemişti. ABD, bile bile lades dedi. Erdoğan ne yapıyorsa aynısını hem de 8-9 ay gibi kısa bir sürede yapmaya başladı. Endişe verici.

When I first came to the U.S. as a grad student many years ago, I was amazed that late-night shows could openly mock the president. That freedom of expression was what made America great. I never thought it would be under such serious threat today.

Bu lanet rejim 'fetö' masalını korkuyu diri tutmak için hep kullanacak. Hele 15 Temmuz'ın yıldönümünde kesin kullanacaktı. O yüzden fırsatı olan için çıkmak bir zorunluluk. Orası cemaate selam vermişler için bir toplama kampı. Diğer insanlar için de piyango her an çıkabilir.
