The National Catholic Reporter publicly labeled JD Vance a “moral stain” on the Roman Catholic faith. The blistering piece went on to point out Vance's “twisted and wrongheaded view of Christianity” for inflaming tensions by maligning a woman killed by ICE rather than promoting healing.

Want to Stop ICE? Go After Its Corporate Collaborators
ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So we should force the private sector to stop helping.

They killed a young poet on a street while a university in Texas forbids teaching Plato (among other things), and president can’t stop talking about buying an island that has no desire to be sold. That was the first week of the year in a strange country getting stranger by the hour, my Horatio.

Not a joke. This is happening now.
“A research university that censors Plato abandons its obligation to truth, inquiry, and the public trust — and should not be regarded as a serious institution of higher learning.”

It's a really scary time. Our president is rattling sabers across the globe. Government thugs are shooting people in the streets.
This is a good week to go to a meeting in your community, in person if possible. Be with others and remember: YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Dnešní Vatnik soup je věnována hajzlovi, který toho času okupuje poslaneckou sněmovnu. Zajímavé čtení z finské perspektivy. Na spoustu věcí snadno zapomínáme a chybí nám (logicky) odstup.
In today’s Vatnik Soup, we introduce our first Czech vatnik, Tomio Okamura. He’s best known for building a political career on xenophobia while being of mixed origins himself, and for pushing Kremlin narratives in Czechia, a country otherwise very supportive of Ukraine.

🇨🇿🇺🇦 Czech PM Babiš: From the Czech budget we can no longer give money to Ukraine, because we do not even have enough for our own school cooks or informal caregivers.

De eurozone bestaat met Bulgarije erbij nu uit 21 landen. Daarnaast zijn er vier ministaatjes die via een verdrag met de EU ook de euro hebben. En twee landen (Kosovo en Montenegro) die zelf, unilateraal de euro hebben ingevoerd zonder in de eurozone te zitten. (Wat ook wel bijzonder blijft...).

Here's to actually supporting Ukraine and not just expressing concern. To building a Europewide economy and not just standardizing parcel sizes. To a sovereign EU Parliament and not just intergovernmentalism. To a year when three things hang from the Kremlin: the EU flag, the Pride flag, and Putin.
As we start the New Year 2026,
you can count on me and my team to continue working relentlessly to make Europe stronger.

It has been 395 days of continuous demonstrations in Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi. Our citizens demand the resignation of Georgia's mostly illegitimate and pro-Russian government, the release of political prisoners, and the return to a pro-European course.
