Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."
President Macron: “Europeans, let's wake up!

We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks.”

Mogilevich earned a considerable amount of money as an intermediary selling jewelry and artwork belonging to Jews who emigrated from Kyiv in the 1980s.
Mogilevich made deals to purchase their assets, sell them for fair market value, and forward the proceeds.

What did the Nazis do with valuable items of Jewish people they deported or sent to concentration camps? They did the same thing that Nazi ICE rats are doing with the property of Hispanic people.

When we really think about it, the president is publicly threatening all of us, explicitly or implicitly.
“But the President publicly threatened you.”

It is legitimately funny that Trump expected to be picking up another Republican seat in Texas in exchange for a pardon, and Cuellar was just like "nah."
So rare to see someone treat Trump like he treats everyone else.

CUELLAR: Look, I'm a Democrat

BARTIROMO: Okay, but Trump is out with a new Truth Social saying saying, "next time, no more Mr Nice Guy"

CUELLAR: I was at church this morning praying for the president

Horrifying.

Wondering how the ghosts of the soldiers from World War I and World War II feel about this.
The United States and Russia have officially formed an alliance against Europe, Ukraine, and Canada.

This fetid landmark, this historical stain on humanity is primarily due to the stunningly reckless obliteration of America's foreign assistance agency earlier this year.

Led by the richest man on earth. In secret, on a weekend. With zero analysis or discussion of its catastrophic impacts.
For First Time in Decades, Child Deaths Will Rise This Year
Almost a quarter of a million more children around the world are projected to die in 2025 than in 2024.

This person has no idea how many people have died, or will die, as a result of shattering our entire global infrastructure for providing lifesaving assistance.

He did no analysis of those impacts before the reckless and illegal obliteration of USAID. These statements are made-up assertions.

Welp.

On the one hand, Putin may end up wiping out much of the population of Ukraine after all.

On the other hand, he also may end up wiping out much of the population of Belarus & Russia as well. So...

I’m actually terrified to do this, but here goes.

One request. You do not comment until you read the entire thread. And you are respectful when you do. If not I will either restrict you or block you depending on how hateful you are.

Great, glad we’re on the same page, let’s begin.
