					<description><![CDATA[Three armed Berlin police officers arrived at my door this morning with a warrant to search my apartment. They conducted the search, interrogated me and my wife, and confiscated my computer.

They also tackle growing threat to free speech from both sides of the aisle in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination &#8230;]]></description>
