The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

1. Last month, new curling sweeping rules were introduced, and Mike McEwen, one of the top curlers in the world, welcomed the rule changes because among other reasons, he thought the now-banned technique looked "cringy".
WHAT, you may ask, could a cringy illegal sweeping technique look like...?

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

There’s always room for more focus on how debate is bad and has damaged our discourse. It also completely misunderstands how scholars and scholarly work gets communicated and revised.

One of the telltale signs of moral depravity is the use of war or military operations to abuse and torture children and animals. It's as true of Russian operations in Ukraine as it is of ICE operations across the US.

I don't want to speak rashly here, but I'm starting to get the feeling that the Trump administration is *not* actually concerned with holding pedophiles to account?
It's largely been lost in the chaos of the last month, but Secretary of Education Linda McMahon is trying to doxx the John Does who sued her for (allegedly) allowing them to be raped by grown men when they were kids and (allegedly) covering it up
@brandonthurston.bsky.social has a write-up:

McMahons say "John Doe" anonymity will unfairly hinder their ability to find witnesses to clear them. WWE takes no position on pseudonyms.

European opinion towards the US ...
(I still don't understand how it is possible that more than 30% of European can have a favorable opinion toward US)

Now, here is a scene from my childhood I always found really unsettling.
It's from a #Danish #animated #movie named
"Jungledyret Hugo"
It evokes the same tense, stressful and claustrophobic sensation I would feel as kid when playing underwater parts of Tomb Raider, or running out of air in Sonic.
