I have never seen Europe this angry at the US; Trump has practically destroyed the alliance and any ounce of trust left. The US is going full pariah state.

I’m pretty concerned about the number of graduates that emerge from Harvard Law with an open disdain for ethics and basic due process.
WELKER: Is there any hard evidence showing this particular boat was headed to the US?

TOM COTTON: That didn't come up in my briefing

WELKER: Are you comfortable having the US target a boat that you're not sure is heading to the US?

COTTON: I'm not just comfortable with it -- I want to continue it

Ilhan Omar: "It's completely disgusting. These are Americans that he is calling garbage ... it's also really important for us to remember that this kind of hateful rhetoric and this level of dehumanizing can lead to dangerous actions by people who listen to the president."

Det var tre ting som gjorde at jeg endret syn på EU:

3. Kritikerne snakker aldri om alternativene, kun at de er i mot

2. Trusselen fra Russland og MAGA

1. Verdens mest rasistiske smegma-dyr, med personligheten til en hjernedød pungrotte og egoet til David Hasselhoff på to kilo cola, er i mot

Trump-regimet gjør det til et sikkerhetspolitisk mål å omdanne Europa i sitt rasistiske, reaksjonære bilde. Det er livsfarlig. Pletten har helt rett - smiskinga må ta slutt, og Europa må stå opp for egne verdier. www.aftenposten.no/meninger/kom...
Gjør litt motstand da, Europa!
President Donald Trump hevder at europeere mangler selvtillit. Det har han rett i.

"Finland can teach us anything, it’s that media literacy shouldn’t just be a side topic, but treated as civic infrastructure."
Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.
Finland has emerged as a global leader in countering “fake news”. Here's how they've done it
