- Reposted by Andreas Busch🚨🚨Given current situation and with the sharply deteriorating situation in #trumpland, I think it is unwise, imprudent and just a very bad idea for the EU to go ahead with plans to grant #US border authorities unprecedented access to Europeans’ data. 🧵 www.politico.eu/article/eu-m...

- Reposted by Andreas BuschRussland schießt die Ukraine vor den Augen der Welt weiter in eine humanitäre Katastrophe. Und die Welt schaut weiter zu. Die Unterstützung reicht angesichts des russischen Energieterrors bei Minusgraden nicht aus. Das müssen die Partner anerkennen und daraus Handlungen ableiten.

- Reposted by Andreas BuschA quaint, wrong but influential opinion has long circulated in London (and elsewhere): that British capitalism is purer and less "corporatist" than its continental counterparts. The Mandelson scandal ought to be the final nail in that particular coffin.
- Reposted by Andreas BuschWith ticket sales plummeting and artists pulling out, Trump decides to close the Kennedy Center for two years, promising to renovate it and try again to find an audience and performers when it reopens in 2028.
- Reposted by Andreas BuschPeter Mandelson has written to Labour's general secretary to 'step down' from party membership. Labour was being called on to suspend/investigate; his being an ex-member may prevent/impede that. I think Mandelson is currently on leave of absence from House of Lords www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
- Reposted by Andreas BuschBREAKING: Peter Mandelson resigns from Labour to avoid causing "further embarrassment" to party as result of Epstein links.

- Reposted by Andreas BuschA manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today. Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵
- Reposted by Andreas BuschThe "coincidence" of Epstein's cash payments to Peter Mandelson's partner/husband in 2009/10 and the then industry secretary's lobbying within cabinet for a softer post-crash policy towards bankers looks on the face of it like outright corruption. Certainly demands police investigation.

- Unsere Demokratie ist von linksaußen genauso unter Druck wie von rechtsaußen. 👇🏻 Absolute Wahrheitsansprüche und Kampf gegen Pluralismus sind verlässliche Marker für totalitäres Denken. Wer falsche Toleranz gegenüber solchen Stimmen hegt, fördert den Niedergang!

- Reposted by Andreas BuschEven under SCOTUS's dubious reasoning in Trump v. U.S., there is no scenario in which maneuvering billions of dollars to an offshore account to keep it out of reach from Congress and courts is an "official act." This is all criminal and impeachable.

- Ob "#Lifestyle-#Teilzeit" eine gelungene Formulierung ist, wenn man gesellschaftliche Mehrheiten gewinnen möchte und gute ökonomische Gründe für eine Änderung des Rechtsanspruchs vorzubringen hat, mag man bezweifeln, lieber #Wirtschaftsrat der #CDU. Bin gespannt wie das läuft!
- Reposted by Andreas BuschEin Schusswechsel ist, wenn 2 Seiten aufeinander schießen. Das war nicht der Fall. Nicht einmal Trumps Agenten haben das behauptet. Sorry, aber solche Fehler dürfen Medienprofis nicht passieren. Europa hat keinen Grund, sich in den US-Autoritarismus mitziehen zu lassen. Das hier ist Medienversagen.
