Kaja Kallas: The Trump administration wants to divide Europe with tactics used by the EU’s adversaries.
"What I think is actually important for everybody to understand is that the US has been very clear that they want to divide Europe.
I see a lot of people grappling with what fascism is, and there’s always a debate about features, whether there’s a coherent ideology or necessary material conditions. But if you are looking for a useable definition of fascism, Paxton’s (Anatomy of Fascism) is short enough to memorize
Breaking news: Donald Trump urged Volodymyr Zelenskyy to accept Russia’s terms for ending its war in a volatile White House meeting on Friday, warning that Vladimir Putin had said he would 'destroy' Ukraine if it did not agree on.ft.com/4ou5h1A
Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him
Understand what gov't is claiming right to do.
Take away the "alleged." Assume US military stops vessel & finds drugs aboard.
If what US did w/ moving boat is legal, then it would be equally legal to line up crew of stopped boat, shoot them all in head, then blow up boat.
For drug crime.
No.
In case you wondered whether ICE has fully transitioned to a tool of a fascist regime: This is not something any federal agent should shout at a member of the public.
What will future historians say about this meeting?
Everyone who thinks that voters are responding to their own lived experience needs to explain this graph.
BRENNAN: Why would Iran agree to any peace deal if the US has already pulled out of one that they had, as President Trump did in 2018, and now launched surprise attacks?
RUBIO: The ones that shouldn't be trusted are the Iranians
FACT - The JCPOA negotiated by Obama in 2015:
Reduced Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium
Limited the number of centrifuges
International monitoring of nuclear facilities.
In 2018, Trump withdrew the U.S. from the agreement.
People are dead in this "crisis" because of Trump.
PUTIN WAS KICKED OUT OF G8 in 2014 WHEN HE ANNEXED CRIMEA. TRUDEAU WAS ELECTED IN 2015.
THANK YOU FOR THE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
The right to assemble and protest lies at the heart of our republic. But there are also many other ways to take action. Find out how to get involved in the movement to save U.S. democracy here: protectdemocracy.org/how-to-prote...
Essential “No Kings Day” reading from my PhD advisor T.H. Breen.
George Washington specifically rejected a military parade like the one Trump is having tomorrow. What seems to a king like a sign of strength should be seen by citizens as a loss of liberty.

What a disgusting, ignorant, arrogant statement by the Secretary of Defense of the United States. Nobody trusts anything he says or does. That’s very dangerous for the US…we depend so much on our Allies. I served in Afghanistan in RC South 2009-2010 where thousands of Allies fought and many died.
"Surge". Like in Fallujah.
In today’s @justsecurity.org, I unpack Trump’s memorandum authorizing deployment of the military not only in Los Angeles, but anywhere protests against ICE activity (even if completely peaceful) are occurring or likely to occur. 1/2 www.justsecurity.org/114282/memor...
Evil. He’s a traitor. He works for Putin. He works for Putin.
In a mind-warping turn of events, Trump joins the Tesla Takedown movement.
On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made a series of claims about the BBC's coverage of events in Gaza on Sunday. We've looked at the claims - and the number of misrepresentations and untruths that they contained. www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...
Marco Rubio used to defend free speech wherever it was threatened.
Now he's snatching students off the street for exercising First Amendment rights — an authoritarian crusade that would make McCarthy himself blush.
I would ask "have you no decency," but I already know the answer.
Trump didn't get the memo.
Putin rejects a ceasefire backed by the U.S. and Europe, which Ukraine agreed to. So of course, Trump does nothing (despite claiming he would) and instead echoes Putin’s spin about some meeting in Turkey.
Russian asset.
Trump played like a violin as usual. Drops ceasefire demand painstakingly agreed with allies. Puts pressure back onto Ukraine. Woeful. “Donald Trump has demanded that Ukraine should "immediately" agree to direct talks with Russia in a bid to end the war.” news.sky.com/story/have-t...
When a Trade Deal is not a Trade Deal.
Donald Trump can still become pope if Mike Pence has the courage.
Prediction
Trump: We have an American Pope cos I made America Great Again
Pope: Nationalism is bad, Jesus didn't like capitalism, and tariffs hurt the poor
Trump: The Pope is a bad Pope, what a nasty Pope, I call him Fake Pope, etc
Just watch.
Big Lie institutionalizes itself through the children.
