What better time than now to bring money to the US, finance the country and indirectly vote for Trumps version of America?

If your response to this video is, “That’s what I voted for”— Fuck you. Fuck you very much. You’re heartless.

Many debate whether Donald Trump is a Russian agent. Whether he will be rewarded or not — he is clearly an agent in the sense that he is acting evidently and consistently to advance Russias interests.

This shouldn’t be celebrated. It’s unfair towards herself, and not sustainable anyway. And it legitimizes the cuts by preventing the problems they caused from showing. As tough as it is, the only way is to let the worst happen.

MAGA folks, are you seeing this?

For the increasing number of people claiming that Trump is sincerely concerned about the death toll for his Ukraine policy — and this includes the great @general-ben.bsky.social : just look at his policy on the Gaza war.

“Brutal for Trump” misses the point a bit. Trump’s point with these deeds is not to get courts to approve them. It’s to get them normalized in the eyes of public opinion. At which point, courts become the boogie men. And it’s working.

A bitter truth: Putin wages war because the West showed weakness, not resistance. For 20 years, he met words—not consequences. Now Ukraine burns. And if he’s not stopped there, he won’t stop at all. Appeasement isn’t peace. It’s permission. Stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦—before tyranny spreads.

Every western statesman visiting Putin is a gift to legitimize him. A gift given by someone who represents the people of his nation and willingly disregards Putin’s Bucha and his ongoing theft of Ukrainian children. Slovakians, what do you think of this?

Here’s how the EU is considering stopping dark fleet: - offer all tankers to voluntarily get checked - if a vessel doesn’t, it automatically ends on the sanction list A creative workaround to the right of “innocent passage”, bent by Russia risking environmental catastrophe. Source: Sergei Guriev

Frankly it’s shocking that nearly half of Americans approve of what he has done so far. The margins are thin enough to reverse shortly before midterms with the right story. One wonders how far can Trump really go before Americans decisively say stop. There seems to be a long way still.

One of the the best things you can do as a European citizen this year: Buy European. Whenever you have the option. Even when it costs you a little more. Even when you takes a little compromise. It’s an investment into your own future.

Very insightful. Pragmatic, actionable plans like this is exactly what the EU needs to move forward.

Trump “pausing” tariffs: Most commentators claim he capitulated. More likely: this was planned. Similar to the shock withdrawal of weapons and intel to Ukraine. For few days. Trump still blind to the devastation to US economy long-term. Stocks down + Treasuries yield up clear sign of this damage

We have been reading of many such successes over the last weeks. Great. But what’s their impact in aggregate? How much of Russia’s government revenue are they cutting? How long does it take Russia to repair them? What other noteworthy implications?

EU and US have been incredibly shy with the situation in Georgia. Hardly good considering the delicate position that Russia is taking.

True, and concerning. Social media has polarized western society, one little post at a time over years. LLM assistants are bound to have the same degree of influence, and lacks the possibility to identify and lack malicious actors that social media partly offered.

Do you care about the increasing Cold War exercised by Russia against European countries? Then @auonsson.bsky.social will be an important asset in your follows. S/He occasionally engages too, with facts and respect đź‘Ź

Another very informative review by @pboyle.bsky.social this time on deportations - the effects of immigration on the US economy - what can be expected on GDP and tax revenue if more/less immigrants are deported I learned a lot from Patrick’s podcasts over the years m.youtube.com/watch?v=Sfbf...

Within large companies there’s often an individual who creates chaos — usually due to incompetence + ego issues. In that context, the best strategy is to keep them busy in their own soup, while ensuring that their endeavors are unworkable. They eventually wear out and move on to another endeavor.

This has been done in the EU’s largest metropolitan area. If they can do it, your city can do it. It’s only a matter of wanting it. A decade after the fact everyone will be happy. Just like it’s been for bans to indoor smoking.

The only good way to look at this: - Trump is building a dictatorship sinking separation of powers - All his appointees are yes-men with no will of their own - ergo if Trump changes his mind on a subject, all his parrots will quickly align - Changing his mind is Trump’s constant. Hope dies last
