7 democrats voted with MAGA republicans to push through ICE funding. If they voted no, it would’ve been blocked.
Hakeem Jeffries can’t get his caucus in order to stop ICE fascists as they arrest without judicial warrants, kidnap children, & kill citizens.

And yet, Ds help get ICE funding over the finish line with no coordinated effort from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to keep Ds from spending our money to oppress, kidnap, brutalize, and murder us.

In the UK at the time of the Brexit vote, I was asked why I thought the EU was a good thing that we should belong to. I replied, "Because I prefer countries to cooperate rather than compete." I think I stand by that ten years later.

Its not just in Germany. Why get a Tesla when you can get European EVs, that doesnt label you as either stupidly disengaged or a fascist enabler?

Because they had one main resource - fish - they really didn’t want to share with the large EEC fishing fleet. Added to that is naturally that as Danish citizens they are still connected with the EEC/EU.

I can see how easy is to simply attack Europe, for example with #Brexit
Because Europe doesn’t behave like a bully, it is labeled as “weak”.
Instead we need to cherish it and ask ourselves what do we do for Europe.
Greenland for example, why did they exit in 1982?

Exactly. Who the fuck is he to negotiate anything on behalf of Greenland. True to form though he did surrender quicky and without resistance. NATO needs him gone yesterday.

"They stayed a little back."
America is the only country that has ever called for help from NATO. NATO answered, thosuands of allied troops fought and hundreds died.
Every time he belittles this, global fury at this guy and the nation that elected him grows. Americans will not be forgiven.

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

From a UK perspective; it was staggering to consciously put him back after 1/6/ and what followed per his 2025 plan was fully out there. America 1st demonstrates interstellar levels of selfishness. The repair will be much harder as the world knows you already have the highest levels of privilege.

It's astonishing how many arrogant US Americans incl. even Senators are talking down on us. That the EU is failing. That we need 'tough love' from the US. They think the EU & EU citizens are inferior to them. Extraordinary!
We are better than that. We need to stand up to them.

Yeah very much so. Rebuild or reform global institutions, strategic independence, turn off the brain drain, don't share technology and methods, invest somewhere else, buy different media and books, holiday elsewhere etc. There's big bang stuff but degrading them is also more subtle and cumulative.

Absolutely this. The EU must not be fooled again just because the Orange backed down on the tariffs. Start the divorce proceedings! He can keep the house and the car. We keep our dignity and freedom.

I agree with this. After abusing Europe and Canada etc the yanks will put on the Everyman act and big smiles and handshakes and expect to be let back into the club without doing anything on their side to change and make sure it never happens again. Classic wifebeater act.
Newsom is just a another symptom of everything that’s gone wrong with today’s USA. it’s infinitely less threatening and infinitely saner, but it’s part of the same disease and the cure is the same: we need urgently to de-Americanize, create new alliances and partnerships and move forward.

Yes, and he also makes statements that ppl assume are lies because they are so outlandish (i.e. invading 🇬🇱)
Plus he deliberately omits information and lets people fill in the gaps (as they are now by assuming he meant he won't invade).
He didn't say he won't, so we should assume he still wants to.
