The @AfD's landlord has filed for eviction for the far-right party's national headquarters in Berlin. The complaint centers around disturbances stemming from its party on election night, when it became the second-largest party in the Bundestag. 👇 https://t.co/jNpYwLrOAx

Germany's new "digital" ministry won't be in the cloud. It will actually have two brick-and-mortar locations: one in Berlin and one in the former capital of Bonn. It's a relic of reunification and shows how the country struggles to move forward. https://t.co/bFSQUlp9TG

It took Germany almost an entire decade to convict four former Volkswagen managers in the diesel scandal. The wheels of justice might turn slowly in Germany, but for white-collar crime, they are suspiciously sluggish. https://t.co/5CsqvZNHZQ

Germany's whack-a-mole against right-wing extremists continues after banning the "Kingdom of Germany" last week. This one was an alleged terror cell run by juveniles that sought to attack migrants and undermine the country’s democratic system. https://t.co/NleAdyJKKb

If Germany doesn't deal with its unresolved identity issues and open up the idea of being German to cross ethnic boundaries, the country could get nastier. 👇 With @WillWilkesNews and @derJamesJackson

Is Germany heading for chaos? https://t.co/l1caimCR1s

The "Kingdom of Germany" falls. It was the biggest group in the Reichsbürger movement, which rejects the legitimacy of the democratic state and aims to reestablish the German Empire. Part of Germany's vibrant right-wing, anti-establishment scene. https://t.co/E9j76ybmCP

With Germany's AfD labelled extremist, calls are growing louder to ban the party. But as @hoyer_kat writes: "Limiting democratic choice is no way to protect democracy." Other parties need to articulate solutions. Unfortunately, in many cases, they helped create the problems.

Since German domestic intelligence labelled the AfD 'extremist', calls for a party ban have gained momentum. Legal hurdles are rightly high. You don't save democracy by disenfranchising parts of the electorate. The case against an AfD ban in ZEITGEIST 👇 https://t.co/bAq4yR1U67

Here's me discussing why Germany's memory culture hasn't worked and instead allowed ethnic nationalism to retain its power to provoke and to divide. 👇 Thanks to @derJamesJackson.
