More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

In his rambling history lesson, he has omitted the fact that the US is the only country ever to have invoked Article 5 of NATO, following September 11th attacks. NATO stepped up.
Trump says NATO has never given America anything and now he’s calling in the debt.

The lesson couldn’t be more clear: do not obey in advance. That is how freedom erodes and dignity disappears.

1. The only country to have invoked NATO Article 5 is the USA.
2. NATO members, including the USA, don't give money to NATO for a NATO military. NATO members, including the USA, spend the money on **their own** military.
