The EU-Commission wants to negotiate a very sensitive agreement that would allow US authorities direct (!) access to police-stored fingerprints & facial images in Europe.
Potentially, all travelers could be affected by this #EBSP – and people in need for protection.

This seems like a mistake.

A 15-year-old autistic, intellectually disabled, and often non-verbal boy in Houston has been held in ICE custody for the past week without his family knowing where he was.

I confirmed this video is real with local news reports:

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

Media and MAGA Calls for Trump to Catch a Nobel Peace Prize Rather Than An ICC War Crimes Indictment Are Obscene The second-biggest threat to global peace after Putin has earned a cell for war crimes—not a humanitarian award. That his grotesque and scammy appeal for a Nobel Peace Prize is working is terrifying.

The Trump-headlined celebration/retroactive justification of genocide happening in Israel today is obscene—and premature. Israel will likely violate Phase 1 of any 20-part plan. As a Trump biographer, I've written a rebuttal to the idea that Trump is anything but one of the most dangerous men alive:

Heel erg dat de verkiezingsuitslag zo sterk kan worden bepaald door wat VI over je zegt, of je net gefotografeerd wordt met een rietje in je mond, of je weg bent gekomen met leugens.
Nog erger dat media óók zo korte-termijn denken en zich te weinig bewust zijn van hun invloed en verantwoordelijkheid

Ik zou het fijn vinden als mijn regering iets liet weten over hoe ze hun relatie met de VS zien nu, en in de toekomst, nu daar dagelijks mensen op gewelddadige wijze worden opgepakt door extreemrechtse gemaskerde stormtroepen.

Graag! Ook nu in Texas vorige week 8 mensen zijn gearresteerd wegens ‘betrokkenheid bij abortus’. En nu Turning Points USA (van de vermoorde Charlie Kirk) een evenement houdt waar gepleit wordt voor de *doodstraf voor vrouwen die een abortus ondergingen*.

JB Pritzker: “Another thing that’s happened with very few people paying attention is they demanded our voter data. Not just ours in Illinois — every state’s voter data. Why? They won’t tell us why.”

No institutional design can overcome a lawbreaking president, a Congress defending lawbreaking and forfeiting its own power, a Supreme Court that pretends legal text doesn’t count to facilitate lawbreaking, and a citizenry that votes for all that.
Need at least one that wants rule of law. Maybe two.

This is fascism. This is a police state. Masked men with guns in unmarked cars are driving through residential neighborhoods during the daytime looking to kidnap women and children.

Resist this. Never normalize this or else these fascists thugs

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

counterpoints abound in history of talk radio, cable, politics…

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

I prefer “anti-fascist“ for a host of reasons and this is a nice practical one.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Russ Vought Is Going to Damage Trump Even More Than Elon Musk Did Americans, and even many Republicans in Congress, don’t like it when an unelected bureaucrat makes huge cuts to the government.

Trump has little to insulate him now. Vought is not some temporary White House employee who’s dabbling in the art of sabotaging the government before he returns to his “job” as the world’s richest man.

According to the president himself, he is the Grim Reaper personified. trib.al/BATmAm5
