EU member states say they want the EU to step up and be a proper player on the world stage - because we NEED that right now - and yet here are the two biggest member states going it alone at an event where the EU’s High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy is also present.
Interesting little Munich tidbit.

So many things wrong in this world, don't know which is most urgent. Climate change, wars in Ukraine and Gaza, Epstein files and its aftermath, right wing politics in Europe and US president who is part of those problems above mentioned. Only co-operation can save us from destruction.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Let's get this out of the way: Graham Platner isn't a Nazi. He had a Nazi tattoo, sure, but he doesn't anymore. He got it covered up in October, a few days after the world learned about the Totenkopf symbol he got inked on his chest in Croatia while on military leave two decades ago. If one can get a Nazi tattoo innocently, then Platner almost certainly did. He says he didn't know its true meaning at the time, and there's little reason to doubt him.
There is nothing in any of the statements that Platner has given in town halls, interviews, or other campaign events to suggest that he's a bigot either, though he did write some bad stuff about Black people and women on the internet a few years ago. (For what it's worth, he also said white rural voters were stupid and racist.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yryx5wbz7veu73ohics5nx6y/bafkreiahm4ymbosxl2viqtkrxbh3nnlhk7plrzoruurd4oe645c5p4u2xi@jpeg)
