Read this and you will think twice before visiting the US
I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.

It is not only embarrassing. It is a lie to justify Israel's continuation of the genocide and in support of Israel's starvation policy - no different then the lies coming from the US administration.
It takes a village to get a EU statement out, but you shouldn't allow the outcome to be garbage, @kajakallas.bsky.social
Own the statement, the process, and block it when it reaches these levels. Be better than this.

Lippmann warned that democracy only works if the public has access to accurate information. But today, people don’t just lack good information - they actively reject it in favour of what fits their worldview, because their entire information ecosystem reinforces those beliefs.
