The EU could adopt Trump-style rules that would allow home raids and deporting people to countries they’ve never set foot in. If we don’t speak up now, this could become the new normal. Sign the petition! action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-12...

Shorter thread: Laura Kuenssberg is spreading misinformation and Mary-Ann Stephenson understands neither the law nor her role and can't bring herself to say trans people exist.

You honestly couldn't pay me enough to even try to visit there now
NEW: Five years of social media history is only a fraction of what the US Government will shortly demand of overseas visitors.

The full requirements will end tourism in the United States.

Below is the full, mind-blowing list.

In Lebanon. Can hear the Israeli drone constantly now. I’ve only been back for a day but folks here deal with it 24/7, for months. It’s psychological torture. You can even see it, just flying around. The Israelis want to let everyone know that they can kill whoever they want whenever they want.
