Michigan is great

Pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell could help Trump by shielding him from the Epstein files and showing his opponents he has no limits, can't be stopped, and will do whatever he wants, which is deeply demoralizing

If there is no crisis, the Trump administration will create one

I love the US and have visited several times, including an incredible year-long high school exchange in Michigan, which I think is an extremely underrated state. I’d love to return, but like many Europeans, I won’t as long as Trump is in power

I’m also angry at those who voted for Trump and harmed the US and the world.

But Democrats and others opposing him need to understand they can’t afford to reject former Trump supporters who change their minds.

This can’t be a purity test. It’s an existential issue for the US

Great behavior by Zach Bryan. More of this kind of thing is needed from influential people to show how hypocritical and un-American the Trump administration is

Not the smartest people out there, but they should still be welcomed to the opposition, as should anyone who wants to help stop Trump from turning the US into a violent one party dictatorship

Today is Putin’s 73rd birthday.

What would you wish him?

How much longer do you think he will last?

Putin’s messenger in the EU

Kristi Noem said this in 2024.

It didn’t age too well, considering she now defends all the things she once blamed Biden for

Russia has been able to strike Ukraine’s energy infrastructure freely until now, but it will face similar blackouts as Ukraine in the future. It’s up to Russia to stop these attacks

Which means that Mike really has a lot to hide from

Translation: Musk, Bukele, and Trump want to remove judges who aren’t corrupt enough to help them illegally attack political opponents, turn the US into a one-party state, and let Trump use the National Guard and ICE to target blue cities as training grounds

Racists usually hate diversity

It comes as no surprise that Elon Musk amplifies Peter Sweden, a famous Holocaust denier

Elon Musk does not like the rule of law

5/5 The question isn’t whether Trump will go too far.

The question is how far Americans will let him go.

The danger is growing.

It’s up to the American public to stop him before it’s too late

4/5 Authoritarianism doesn’t arrive with tanks.

It grows through silence, normalization, and unchecked power.

Trump’s words and actions are part of a larger strategy to consolidate control

3/5 Trump is trying to turn the United States into a one-party country.

He’s building loyalty-based enforcement, ignoring checks and balances, and targeting opponents.

These are classic signs of authoritarianism

2/5 People keep underestimating Trump. But no authoritarian starts with their biggest crimes.

The Gestapo didn’t begin with gas chambers. Trump’s ICE is already breaking laws.

The potential for even more escalation is very real

1/5 Trump’s incitements to political violence keep getting worse. He’s completely unhinged.

Yesterday, he spoke to service members and compared Democrats to a gnat on the shoulder.

This kind of talk is not harmless. It’s dangerous

Merkel is probably one of the people most responsible for the war, as she was one of Putin’s main appeasers. Her leadership was a massive failure

Absolutely insane

Thank you! I appreciate it!

Classic fascist propaganda

China is an enemy of Europe. It's high time to stop pretending otherwise
