En comparativa con el fascismo estadounidense esta noticia pasará desapercibida porque parece poca cosa, pero es terrible y gravísimo que haya personas muriendo de frío por verse a abocadas a vivir en las calles. Y todo ello en un estado “social y de derecho”. Es vergonzoso.

Tots hem de tenir una mica de flexibilitat/ hipocresia/ passotisme; no poden estar lluitant 24/7 sense cap escletxa; però igual que el boicot a X, a spoti, a nestle etc., jo sumaria aquests partits a una potencial llista negra.

Cute that they still think there'll be elections in November.
(or at least fair elections without the wizardy of Musk and rule changes of Trump).

Trump is using ICE like a secret police force. They’ve used Gestapo-like tactics to terrorize communities for nearly a year, and now they’re literally killing people. This can’t be America.
I was the first member of Congress to call for abolishing ICE. November’s elections can’t come soon enough.

There is video of the shooting of a woman by ICE in Minneapolis circulating that shows an ICE agent repeatedly shooting her at point blank range while she tries to drive off. There was no obvious threat to any ICE agent.

"dominant predator force" as if that's a good thing.
Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

All Trump has is fantasy and bluster but if that bluster is met by cowardice or vacillation, as Hitler's was, he will act out the fantasy. Europe must unite and stare him down and when he is out of power and sanity prevails in that nation again renew normal relations with the USA.
