Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.
They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

Basically it looks like weakening democracy by supporting nationalist parties across Europe, and trashing NATO - this is Putin's dream wishlist
The US under Trump is tearing apart the global rules based order
I prefer closer ties with the EU than with the US under Trump

Rant alert: Trump’s national security strategy trashing the EU and core values at heart of transatlantic alliance makes it all the more urgent for Starmer to pursue bolder reset with EU. His timidity loses valuable time and risks leaving us even more subject to events rather than shaping them. 🧵

I have long argued for proportional representation. Friends countered “but that would have let Farage in years ago” I’ve always believed under proper scrutiny he’d crumble. I wish this had happened 20yrs ago, maybe Brexit would have been avoided if we hadn’t left him outside the tent pissing in.

Farage hopes he can breeze into power without scrutiny. But his racism, corrupt donations, shady links to Russia and MAGA… make it harder for him to hide. And his tantrum reactions to being challenged reveal him for the nasty inadequate he really is.

When I first heard about Farage’s racist teenage rants, I assumed they were an adolescent phase. But the more we find out — they went on for many years — and his reaction to the revelations (‘liars’) shows no contrition, no apology, suggests these beliefs are still active

Farage isn't only a racist, but a bully too. And he's continued that behaviour as an adult. He uses his supportsn as a mob to intimidate those who get in his way. Sometimes online, sometimes in the real world. Add that to his dishonesty and corruption, and it makes his utterly unfit for high office
17 year old Nigel Farage targeted 9 year old Yinka Bankole and repeatedly and systematically racially harassed him for a year. “Where are you from?” Farage asked. “That’s the way back to Africa” with an accompanying hand gesture pointing towards a place far away. This continued *every* morning.

Farage isn’t able to express any heartfelt shame for what he said then…not just because he does not feel it, but because he and ReFuk are banking on pulling in voters who share those views and wish that to have no adverse consequence.
