Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

It's not about Denmark. It's about weakening the EU, defunding aid to Ukraine, undermining NATO and doing Putin's bidding, all while stealing the state, ruining the US economy, distracting from the Epstein files, cracking down on internal dissent, & staying out of prison. Have I missed something?

The biggest obstacle we face as a society in getting people to accept reality about Trump is that it requires people to face reality about themselves and about ourselves as a society.

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

I figured that living under the unraveling of American democracy would be infuriating.
I underestimated the extent to which it would feel so embarrassing.

The ICE agent who shot Marimar Martinez in Chicago tried to goad her out of her car.
He said “do something b*tch” and shot her 5 times.
The ICE agent who shot Nicole Renee Good did the same thing. Stood right in front of her vehicle and yelled “f*cking bitch”.
They hate women & it shows.

It has occurred to me that people are finally mad because a white citizen was killed even though they didn't give a shit when it was immigrants dying unless to use us as props in arguments against ICE

Border Patrol agents have shot and killed six people across the US-Mexico border. Mexicans who were in Mexico when they were shot and killed. The worst crime any were accused of was rock throwing (all were disputed). No consequences for the killers.

1/ THREAD: This year ICE has sent a record 600 immigrant kids into federal shelters, more than in the previous four years combined. Data suggests some are being separated from their families.
For one 15-year-old, it began with a cracked windshield 👇

I can't put into the words the visceral hatred I feel towards the administration in the US. The pain their behaviour is causing to Ukrainians is unforgivable.
Ukrainians have russians terrorising them with missiles & drones. Now the US is terrorising them with russian demands for capitulation.

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.
At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...
