Canada and Europe Need to Build a Firewall Against US Tech Coercion | Perspectives Journal
Europe and Canada can only protect their digital ecosystems against US interference if they start investing in tech sovereignty now.

My colleague and I wrote a piece about the urgent need for Europe to partner with Canada in building a digitally sovereign ecosystem—one that can withstand the threats posed by US tech authoritarianism:

Ich versuche ernsthaft nachzuvollziehen, welche Qualifikation Herr Mölzer wieder mal mit sich bringt, um über dieses Thema zu sprechen. Die einzige Erklärung, die mir einfällt, ist, dass er wohl grad Zeit hatte und man eine "false Balance" herstellen will.

Trump: "I have determined that, for the Good of our Country, especially in these very troubled and dangerous times, our Military Budget for the year 2027 should not be $1 Trillion Dollars, but rather $1.5 Trillion. This will allow us to build the 'Dream Military' that we have long been entitled to."

Danke für Ihren Pushback - die Einschätzungen, die Claudia Franziska Brühwiler verbreitet hat, haben absolut gar nichts mit der Realität hier in den USA/DC zu tun. Es macht mich fassungslos, dass es auch jetzt noch Kommentatoren gibt, die Trump/MAGA verharmlosen.

If the news can’t call this a lie, we’re cooked. The shooter walked away casually. You do not have have to pretend this is a good-faith effort to describe the video or perspectives differ. Trump is lying and he knows he’s lying and you know he’s lying and everyone knows WHY he’s lying.

@moderation.bsky.app Y'all are actively hindering people's ability to witness what occurred today in Minneapolis and form their own opinions. Most people moved to this platform to avoid censorship and shadow banning. The video shows no blood or gore of any kind. Do you know what you're doing?

In functioning democracies, ministers resign all the time, under threat of a no confidence vote in the parliament. We have a system where legislative confirmation totally fails ex ante to screen out wildly unqualified people, & ex post accountability depends on a toothless extraordinary measure.
Impeach Kristi Noem.
As you evaluate this from Kristi Noem, remember that when a federal agent shot a woman in Chicago last year, DHS's initial version of events was full of lies that fell apart under subsequent scrutiny:

I have seen multiple videos, there is no questions that this ICE officer committed cold-blooded murder. DHS already released a statement *lying* about the cold-blooded murder, praising the murder. Corporate Media (eg NYT) amplifying their lies. The videos are widely available to refute their lies.

This is where our rights-based legal order breaks down: if we can't stop a lawless, government-backed paramilitary force from abducting and shooting people in the streets.
If ICE can do this to a random woman in a car, they could and would absolutely do this to any elected official, journalists, human rights lawyer, or immigration advocate they deem to be an enemy of the regime
Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.

This was about as shocking as the insurrection. A manifestly anti-democratic moment. Nothing could shake the spell.
What gave it away imo that Jan 6th was by no means an endpoint for the MAGA-movement was the fact that 147 Republicans (!!) voted against the certification of the 2020 election results just hours after having to hide from rioters.
