The talk in Europe is “how to get a seat at the table.” Respectfully, that’s the wrong question. The right question is, “how can Europe build a new table.”

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

Ukraine is not alone. Germany together with our European allies stands united alongside #Ukraine - and against the Russian aggression. Ukraine can build on unwavering support from Germany, Europe and beyond. Their defence of democracy & their quest for peace & security is ours.

De tog dit honom för att förnedra honom offentligt. För att han inte kysste maffiabossens ring på det påbjudna MAGA-sättet.

Trumps lek är över. Nu återstår bara för Europa att kliva fram, och ge Zelenskyj det militära stöd hans Ukraina förtjänar – och vår kontinent akut behöver.

No purported democracy has ever treated an official guest as rudely as Trump & Vance today. It is even worse than my memories from Moscow. Trump is an autocratic bully.

As Vance 'lectures' Europe on free speech, it is good to be reminded that the United States ranks 55 (!) on the World Press Freedom Index. The top 10 countries are ALL in Europe. #journalism #democracy #freepress rsf.org/en/index

With each update, tools like Midjourney promise us more »realistic« representations – but the »reality« these images represent has often little to do with the one we live in. Rather, they are best described as »Platform Realism,« a second-order aesthetic of generic images. A thread ... 1/9

USA har uppenbarligen inget emot att Ryssland flyttar fram sina positioner i Europa. Viktigt att de europeiska demokratierna pratar sig samman om en gemensam linje, och visar att man inte tänker gå i USA:s ledband.

Kan copy-pasta allt jag skrev här 2016, förutom att jag då trodde amerikanska konstitutionen var stark. Platon, Aristoteles, Polybios och Cicero skrev alla om hur demokratin övergår till tyranni när demagogen tar makten genom att låtsas vara folkets röst. www.svd.se/a/w2jno/sa-k...

Vance’s speech underlines the necessity to not have unregulated online platforms. Being responsible for hate speech, being transparent, not allowing manipulation, and combatting disinformation are not elements of censorship. It’s common sense. And some platforms are now outright propaganda machines

Universities are strong and resilient. And vulnerable. At the same time. If you cut programs, change funding structures, ideologically drive out topics, intimidate scholars, chill opposition, go after allies and adjacent programs - all at the same time - then even strong institutions are affected.

Given that the US presidency has been bought by Silicon Valley, and they want to invade countries to prop up their resource-intensive tech (Canada, Greenland etc.), the rest of the world needs to boycott all their AI BS...like just stop that AI BS is the future...AI is a death drive.
