Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde: "The vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors...may I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away."

The tickets were being delivered to mail boxes in the southern city of Karlsruhe by local party members. They are also available on the local faction's website accompanied by the words "Only remigration can save Germany."

[Miriam Gradel @ChopstickChamp]

German right-wing party #AfD is under investigation for spreading false flight tickets to promote remigration. Tickets are marked from #Germany to a "safe country of origin" and dated for 23 Feb. election day between 8-18 when polls are open.

While near 10,000 protesters gathered outside Arena in Riesa, the #AfD has officially elected Alice Weidel as its chancellor candidate. AfD Thuringia representative, Björn Höcke, commented "Alice für Deutschland" on Telegram. #breakingnews #Germany #Tyskland #GermanElection2025

N4zism, education, energy and Israel - Despite #Musk and #Weidel stressing the importance of #freespeech, at no point did they open up the debate to comments and questions from the audiences.

Here's my #freespeech Tl;Dr on the +1-hour chat:

[Miriam Gradel @ChopstickChamp]

On Israel, Weidel and Musk agreed that it is a terrible war, with Weidel commenting she "doesn't know how to solve it." Musk chose to pass the hot potato, saying "I am sure President Trump will solve that quickly."
