Are we seriously about to go to war with Denmark, Norway, and France because an old man with obvious dementia and the nuclear codes is running our country, and a pack of enablers won’t do the bare minimum and get him into a care facility where he belongs?

This is the craziest fucking timeline.

One point I’ve been banging on about in interviews the last few weeks is that the mere threat of the use of force by the U.S. President is illegal both under Article 2(4) of the UN Charter but also the U.S. Constitution by virtue of the Take Care Clause.

You want to end the war in Ukraine?

Start financing the mass production of drones and missiles.

A Ukraine that can strike back with overwhelming volume is a Ukraine that forces Russia to end its war.

Local production is faster, cheaper, and more effective. Scale it up!

Interesting polls in Wales suggest a shift of "don't knows" to Greens, offering the possibility of a robust coalition with Greens & Plaid Cymru in the Welsh Senedd.

Reform UK are in 2nd place.

The idea that there is no NATO without the US is a falsehood promoted by Trump and Putin. They’re trying to gaslight the rest of the world into believing it - but the most powerful thing the other 31 nations of NATO could do right now is simply realign and carry on without the US.

France & Germany:

"We will apply tariffs to US exports"

UK:

"It doesn't help anyone. We need to be pragmatic."

For goodness sake Starmer! But ok no surprise at all! Brexit has weakened the UK so much it has become literally impotent.

The guy who said he could end the war on day one is now offering a war criminal a seat on a made up board. Does he have to pay a billion dollars?? I think not. Trump is a fucking TRAITOR!!

The President of the United States is Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces.

Putin commands Trump.

Putin is really giving the orders. But service members must not serve a foreign power or obey illegal orders.

The choice is clear: treason with Russia or loyalty to the USA.

I'm also old enough to remember all those who told us Trump would make the world more stable. One year in, he's threatening to destroy an eight decade security alliance, the pillar of Western stability, over not getting an award.

Suggested EU response:

- US airbases now represent an armed presence, inside our borders, of a nation that is openly threatening to invade our territory
- Withdraw the threat or we have no choice but to close those bases
- This turns USA from a global power to a regional one, overnight

I’m the one in the brown hat.

What you might not see is the victim in the car. His feet are pointing out the open car door. An agent is sitting on one of his legs. He’s only wearing crocs.

Bystanders found his legal work visa in his abandoned car.

#AbolishICE
This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.
