I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

If France is doing it, seeking to create volume (network effect), then others should either get onboard or if they don’t want a French option, then EU could easily fund open source EU versions of all major necessary tools, utilities, apps.

Yes the US has reached the ”nothing is true and everything is possible” stage. Refer to Russia for further information how it continues from there
Ultimately you're not supposed to believe it. It not mattering is the point. The bolder the lie, the greater the impunity. The ultimate victory for evil is not convincing you, it's the truth being irrelevant.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

I don't think Americans has even a remote clue about how angry Europeans are with them. And people here are very clear about this being an American problem, not just a Trump problem.

The insanity is intentional, as is the wider dissemination of it (of which I’m now guilty). Its purpose is to distract and paralyze so that we don’t oppose the lurch of fascism. In an ordinary world this kind of lunacy would never be platformed. It would be put in a padded cell.
This is utterly deranged.

Trump can put a million-percent tariffs on Denmark, and it still doesn't change the answer about Greenland. There are only two possible endings to this bizarre story. Either Trump gives up, or else he goes through with a military invasion.
