This post by @bachmannrudi.bsky.social should transform how Europeans perceive the threat of Trump & Vance.

It did for me.

Now consider how the US-controlled social media networks that infiltrate Europe are being used to achieve this goal.

Agreed. And it's not only improper for American elected officials to tell other people around the world what is right and wrong. It goes from improper to humiliating when the American elected official is just doing PR for a company. (1/2)
american reporters, you've got to call bullshit on this. vance, purveyor of hate/propaganda, wants the public to believe rules on, for instance, transparency in advertising and forms of deception on X are censorship.

don't fall for it.
