I really think the US could split up. That will be the end result of Project 2025 and the alliance of Christian extremists, techno authoritarians, and billionaires.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

Another good episode of DSR @thedsrnetwork.bsky.social with @djrothkopf.bsky.social @edwardluce.bsky.social & @rosabrooks.bsky.social I would have liked more on European defence. Europe is not a middle power but it’s wasting money by not being a Union.

Yes, Trump has taco-ed but Europe needs to become independent from the US. That means implementing the Draghi Report. That includes a EU army.

Europe, you’re not out of the woods just because Trump has TACOed. Get your act together and implement the Draghi report, form a EU army, make Europe digitally independent from the US.
Are you a European leader shitting yourself now that the US has gone rogue & authoritarian? Take a deep breath and implement Draghi’s report. It’s a good start!

The British establishment has firmly believed in the special relationship with the US which was nothing but colonisation of Britain. For decades, the elite has indoctrinated the people in exceptionalism keeping Britain from appreciating its European identity. Starmer is only wasting time.

The Prime Minister has tried appeasing him for 12 months and has failed. It's time we finally stood up to him and united with our European allies to make him back down.

This book doesn’t flatter anyone-it’s worth reading. What struck me is this: nobody here is really in charge, and that’s the trick. These ‘rulers’ don’t rule by courage or conviction, but by incentives and attention. They don’t demand loyalty; they reward performance. And people line up willingly.
I hired professional fact checkers for my book bc it tells the story of how Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger *lied about me.* Hired pros prev at The New Yorker. It was very expensive! My book also went through 6 rounds of legal review. So they haven’t sued me. Read it here:

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Still doing nothing remotely useful. 🤦 Do you need the American military in Brussels?
I spoke to the Secretary-General of NATO, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, Friedrich Merz and Giorgia Meloni.
Together we stand firm in our commitment to uphold the sovereignty of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark.

It’s a real shame that Nigel Farage is too unwell to do interviews the morning after Donald Trump threatens us with sanctions.
Here he is with “the bravest man he ever met”. He campaigned to make Trump President, and has spent the last year enjoying all the chaos he has caused.

I guess nobody has explained to Trump how tariffs work.
Trump just placed a tariff on most of the EU of 10% that will increase to 25% in June unless they agree to sell him Greenland.
