Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."
President Macron: “Europeans, let's wake up!
We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks.”

The real reason Trump summoned the Generals?
The Generals are the only ones who can stop Trump becoming a dictator. He needs their support or at least passive acceptance of his unconstitutional regime to put the last nail in the constitution’s coffin.

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”.
They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

A disgusting person buries their ex-wife on their golf course… with tons of classified docs.
Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I think she's a disgraceful person. A loser. It's amazing the way people vote. I know it's people from her area, maybe of the world. They got here and the vote her in. It's hard to believe. But I think she's a disgusting person."

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

In a similar vein, I’d like to urge Van Jones to go fuck himself.
CNN’s Van Jones urges “progressives” to “get on board” with bombing Iran:
“I think progressives underestimate how dangerous Iran is. Iran is not a normal country,” he said on air.
Jones did not share whether he considers Israel—an apartheid state currently committing genocide—a “normal country.”
