😠 One by one, he is bending ostensibly independent actors under the weight of his power. So far, Trump has targeted the legal community, universities, the arts, career government employees and the press and brought them to heel in some measure, willingly or not. STOP FUCKING COMPLYING❗

The real shock comes from the reaction of American institutions and society, which is incredibly weak. The Trump administration is rapidly turning, before our eyes, into a fascist autocracy and too few are standing in its way. And this affects all of us.

🙏🇺🇦 Kharkiv, Sumy, Dnipro. Russian strikes that should never have happened. Ordinary residential buildings have been damaged. Russia kills people every day and drags out this war. Pressure on Russia is needed to save lives and to make diplomacy work faster and more effectively.

🧵 This is a perfect example of what I've be describing as disordered discourse, and it's threat to democracy. Politicians are afraid to speak openly about key issues. Why? Because disordered discourse has captured the system itself—forcing obedience, punishing dissent, and making truth irrelevant.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

Europe urgently needs its own plan of action concerning Ukraine and our security, or else other global players will decide about our future. Not necessarily in line with our own interest. This plan must be prepared now. There’s no time to lose.
