Today, I have the solemn responsibility to be the first president to formally apologize to Native peoples – Native American, Native Hawaiian, and Native Alaskan – for what happened during the Indian Boarding School era. It's long overdue.

There should be a German remake of Ocean's 11, but instead of the gang robbing a casino, they break into the Ausländerbehörde to make an appointment.

The German government is trying to push through Parliament, at record speed, a "security package" that would increase biometric surveillance at an unprecedented scale. The proposed measures contravene the government’s own coalition and undermine European law and the German constitution. EFF stands with the opponents of these proposals. We must defend fundamental rights more decidedly than ever.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/10/ge…

Germany Rushes to Expand Biometric Surveillance

Germany is a leader in privacy and data protection, with many Germans being particularly sensitive to the processing of their personal data – owing to the country’s totalitarian history and the role

Removing urban freeways will be one of the great projects of the 21st century. They truly stand as one of this country's greatest mistakes.

The German government has just found a way to delay Deutsche Bahn trains even further.

The centre-left German government is reintroducing border checks at *all* its land borders with 9 🇪🇺Schengen countries. The drastic move, likely in response to the far-right's win in Eastern🇩🇪 last month, could cause a domino effect with major economic implications for the EU.
