I am so fucking fed up with these geandiose arseholes and their puppet masters playing games with the lives of billions of people and the future of humanity. There has to be a better way, and no, it's not AI.
You're willing to drag the world into deadly turmoil when your only reason for being in power it to avoid jail.

So we decided to investigate who *does* fund Toby Young's outfit

Toby Young’s outfit went to court to hide its donors. Today we reveal that funders include US anti-abortion groups, Brexit politicians and Tufton Street insiders.

I wonder how many Dutch voters fully realize that what ICE is doing in Minnesota is *exactly* what Wilders (and van der Plas, Baudet, Eerdmans etc) would like to see happen here. It’s a free preview of what far right government actually looks like.

How on earth isn't there a system to essentially remove and criminally prosecute a President and administration who are attacking their citizens, breaking corruption laws that would put them away for years if they were not in government and actively trying to destroy your democracy?
I want to connect the dots.
The rush to call Renee Good a terrorist, the rewriting of Jan 6th - it's all part of Trump's campaign to use violence to protect his power.
A world in which our leader gets to shoot or attack us if we oppose him - that's a dystopia we cannot permit.

405 years ago, a group of English Protestant fanatics, known as the Pilgrims, landed with the Mayflower on the coast of what is now Massachusetts. Trump's new 'policy' would mean that those English and all their descendants have no claim to ownership of what is now the United States of America.
Native Americans in the USA are all nodding in agreement as Donald Trump says (on Greenland): “The fact that they landed a boat there 500 years ago doesn’t mean they own the land.”

You want to take Greenland? How about no more US bases in Europe, no landing or refueling on your way to bomb the Middle East, be very expensive doing all your logistics from the US.
It is hard to see how the NATO alliance would recover from a treaty breach as shocking as the United States attacking Denmark to seize Greenland.

US intentions towards Greenland threaten NATO's future. But European countries are not helpless
US threats to annex Greenland following the attack on Venezuela should be taken seriously. European countries have important leverage they should be prepared to use.
