Yeah, Mark Rutte. What did I say, bootlicker … instead of pushing to step up a stronger european defense, he calls for more US dependence. Yes, we are lagging behind but EU needs to accelerate on defence. Mark Rutte, who as NL PM barely did anything for defence and relied heavily on the US.

”What they're doing in Minnesota with the strike needs to expand.”

Solidarity. No left or right, no street sweeper or scientists, no class division, or colour coded sections. Everyone stood shoulder to shoulder to tear down the walls of tyranny and restore democratic principles. This was how Eastern Europe brought down soviet dictatorship.
Your blueprint, USA.

Today’s retreat is absolutely an attempt to take pressure off of Congress to rein in ICE so that a funding package can get through.
That pressure has been effective. We can celebrate Minneapolis’ win but we need to keep the pressure on. They’re not going to stop forever.

Every instance in which the Trump administration is forced to make changes, even cosmetic alterations like removing Bovine, is a good sign that US democracy is not yet dead.
Trump wants unchecked power. But public and political opinion still matters - and that should encourage resistance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

I'm voting no on DHS funding.
Masked agents are operating in our streets and hurting people with zero accountability. It’s un-American.
If you’re upset and want to help, call your senators and representatives and tell them this chaos needs to stop.

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.
Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

I appreciate those out there protesting at great risk to their lives however i think the nation needs to grind this economy to a dead stop.
It's something everyone can do safely. No spending on ANYTHING but absolute necessities.
I understand some shut ins can not do this but very many of us can.

On this day in 1935, Hitler assured Poland that he would not invade. A few years later, he claimed that Germans were being oppressed and killed and used that pretext to invade, carrying out the largest genocide in human history.

The only difference between the Austrian painter and the failed casino owner is public opinion. Americans still have a chance to get off the fascist train. Keep protesting, boycott Trumper businesses, educate people. Educate people to vote. Hype up the vote! Your democracy is on the ballot!

Meanwhile, Georgia (the country, not the state), people have been protesting against their corrupt gov’t everyday since 2024. Please Americans, take note. These protests need to be sustained. A one-day walk-off will not be enough.
