Only 16% of Europeans still see the US as an ally, new survey finds An ECFR survey published today finds a dramatic shift in how Europeans view America. More now see the US as a rival or enemy than as a friend. Conversely, Russians no longer see the US as an enemy.

Are Europeans finally waking up?

A survey published today finds that the proportion of Europeans who view the US as an ally or an adversary are approaching the same levels as how they feel about China.

But European leaders haven't gotten the memo.

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.

Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.

Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

Tech Workers Are Condemning ICE Even as Their CEOs Stay Quiet The killing of George Floyd in 2020 prompted a wave of statements from tech companies and CEOs. Today, pushback against ICE is largely coming from employees, not executives.

“The most wealthy and powerful tech CEOs are still staying silent as ICE floods America’s streets, but now some researchers and engineers working for them have chosen to break rank.”

Great @laurengoode.bsky.social story:

One of the reasons it is really important to push back hard on the investigations against people telling the military not to follow illegal orders is because when he invokes the Insurrection Act he is presumably going to be ordering the military to do illegal things and we want people to speak out.

Tell Congress: Impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Contact Congress today!

Kristi Noem is a liar and a disgrace who must be removed from office.

If you agree, tell your members of Congress to get on board with impeachment right now:

.@PabloReports: Stephen Miller seems to be operating sort of as a shadow president at this point. Is there any legal liability he could face at the end of this presidency?

Ryan: There’s going to be legal—and I think criminal—liability for multiple members.. certainly Stephen Miller.

Those who act to save the country from tyranny, domestic terrorism, a deranged criminal president, a radicalized, right wing criminal Supreme Court, the “Heretic” Foundation, the Federalist Society, and Project 2025, violate no laws.

ICE used to go to jails to detain and export violent illegals. They fall under a different jurisdiction than law enforcement and are not suppose to barge into private homes. All of this is unlawful- Im not sure why it cant be stopped.
