Cartoon featuring a city scene with a roundabout in the center. The roundabout has a large statue of a person riding a bike and holding a U-lock in a triumphant pose. People on different sorts of bicycles are riding around the roundabout.

The UAW will ensure that our member receives the full protection of all negotiated contract language safeguarding his job and his rights as a union member.

Workers should never be subjected to vulgar language or behavior by anyone—including the President of the United States.

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

Liebe Alle, bitte wählt in Zukunft vernünftig, kommunal und auf Bundesebene. Ein starkes geeintes Europa ist unsere einzige Überlebenschance in einer Welt voller Autokraten. Wenn die USA in den Bürgerkrieg rutscht, dann sind wir auf uns allein gestellt. Dies ist nicht die Zeit für AfD-Experimente.

It's time to fight back and remove "US big tech" from power.

Canada, UK, EU, should all be investing massively in domestic tech solutions as a strategic priority.

Failure to do so, urgently, will be catastrophic. That's my assessment, based on very clear evidence, and I'm sticking to it.

The US is advancing a new global order. Over the past eight decades Washington pursued – when it suited American interests – an order based on international law, liberalism, multilateralism and democratic values. The new one is based on autocracy and the use of force, and is underpinned by xenophobic nationalism.

For the transatlantic relationship this is transformative: it means that coercive action now drives policy change. Europe’s security dependency on the US is leverage to be ruthlessly exploited. Silicon Valley tech firms’ business interests converge with those of the White House, and the US instrumentalises far-right politicians in Europe to achieve its foreign policy objectives.

FUBAR everywhere. The US is no longer part of the worlds future. I wonder if the US will ever recover once this menace ends. The next Admin has to knock on a huge amount of doors to be back in the game.

Of course Antifa is the main problem. The Base are just guys playing with guns. (Irony off) The plushie Nazis in the administration create the perfect soil to grow the real threat. This will backfire. Wonder how many of their sympathisers are already in ICE.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
