Europe is at a turning point, where it can choose to reassert the ideals once pledged by the EU and confront the authoritarian brew emanating from U.S. If not now, when?

“Like all men, I can sort of zone out and fail to appreciate what people are really feeling, and that’s a bad thing. Generally speaking, I would say I was as good as the next man at spotting what people are feeling.”

I’ve downloaded my Twitter archive so I can delete m account. I’ve been reading my old tweets and let me tell you - there are some gems there. I was so funny when I wasn’t so sleep deprived. 😅. Might recycle some of my best material here.
