Spain’s foreign minister told Euronews that Europe must take full control of its own security in the face of rising geopolitical uncertainties. To this end, he said the EU must move towards creating a European army. #EuropeNews

"The purpose of politics is to create the conditions in which we can be free... which isn't just the government leaving you alone, it's the government creating conditions in which we can grow up to become free people."

I got subscribed, again, to a Substack newsletter I never subscribed to. I deleted my Substack account entirely many months ago. If you're still writing on Substack (which you shouldn't be), why are you using a platform that leaks readers'/customers' private data like water through a sieve?

Can't emphasize this enough. Moving beyond shame toward true solidarity with all people is how we get free. It's how we move toward a new and better world for those who come after us.

I don't want you to be ashamed to be a white American. The history of white Americans who sided against whiteness and acted in solidarity with others has been suppressed as ruthlessly as the history of violence.

Democratic leadership is terrified of being seen on the side of the people of Minneapolis, least they lose the potential future support of pro-cop people whose support they do not and never will have.
I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Not forgetting option 4 - Trump has completely misunderstood what Rutte offered
So, 3 broad possibilities here:
1) Rutte agreed to something of substance pre-cleared with Copenhagen & Nuuk
2) Rutte agreed to something of substance *not* pre-cleared with Copenhagen & Nuuk
3) Rutte agreed to something of no substance but that made Trump feel warm and fuzzy and important
