Don’t let the arrest of a Federal Judge distract you from the announcement that ICE can enter anyone’s home without a warrant to look for migrants.

Een treffend beeld. Maar let op: de Oekraïense wapens zijn onzichtbaar, maar zijn er wel: vindingrijkheid, moed, doorzettingsvermogen en iets positiefs om voor te vechten.

The US is fast becoming a small regional power. They have already lost the position in the Pacific in Trump's first term, immediately pulling out of the trade treaty with that region that was established with much effort by Obama, and now leaving Europe and, in a new executive order, also Africa.

this is really useful if you want to understand the military-logistical side to America's bases in Europe. Basically, without them the US becomes a regional power.

I see only 2 reasons why mistakenly kidnapped, uncharged Mr. AbregoGarcia hasn't been released: 1)Trump admin wants to show there are no limits on their power & absurdity of this case makes that point; 2)he's been tortured & they don't want him to reveal what happened www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

🚨This story is going to be HUGE. China is going to shutdown key US industries. Without rare earth minerals, you can’t build cars, computers, weapons or medical scanners. And China controls 90% of key minerals. There’s a lack of appreciation how crippling this situation could become very quickly.

The tariffs aren’t economic strategy. They’re a further consolidation of Trump’s pursuit of total political control. Any country or company seeking relief from his absurd tariffs will be forced to kiss his ring and make concessions.

On Monday our instagram account was hacked and then deleted. We received a ransom note to recover it; obviously we couldn't and wouldn't pay, and therefore lost thousands of followers. Meta support was useless. But we're BACK with a new account: @littletollerbooks. Can you follow us there and share?

Europe needs to understand that the way Trump is treating Ukraine over the new mineral deal (trying to rob them blind but give Ukr no security) is how he will deal with Europe as a whole if he sees them as weak. The only way to deal with Trump is defiance--not bridge building.

Donald Trump streeft er ook naar. Op 23 maart 1933 kwam de Duitse Reichstag bijeen om te beslissen over de Machtigingswet of ErmächtigungsGesetz. Hitler kreeg de bevoegdheid om naar eigen goeddunken wetten uit te vaardigen. Die zelfs mochten afwijken van de Grondwet

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Wenn wir uns darauf beschränken, die US-Diplomatie zu kommentieren, machen wir uns schwach. Waffen und Munition liefern, europäisch handlungsfähig sein, notfalls ohne Ungarn und Slowakei, aber mit UK. Die Ukraine stark machen, selbst stark sein und mit Ukraine und Russland reden.

Prediction time. When Trump's term is over, the deficit will still be far larger, the government wont have shrunk, immigration will be basically the same, as will the importation of illegal drugs. However, the ethics and norms of government will have irretrievably shattered.

🇮🇹🇺🇦 Meloni said that extending Article 5 of NATO to Ukraine "seems to be the simplest and most effective proposal of all, and it will help call Russia's possible bluff." ❗️"If Russia does not plan to invade again, it is unclear why it should not accept security guarantees that are only defensive."
