Though I do like this response on US attacks regarding 'freedom of speech' in Europe.
"Because working people have been shunted into defined contribution, self-funded retirement schemes, their futures are wedded to stock market returns in a way that people in similarly wealthy democracies find unimaginable." Inequality in the US is obscene. My thoughts:

The richest man on earth owns X.
The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.
The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.
See the problem here?
Al die keren nul journalisten belaagd, geen politieagent mishandeld, geen auto in de fik gestoken, geen hitlergroeten gebracht, geen fascistische leuzen geuit.
Dit is het volk dat niet gehoord wordt. Maar ze laten zich niet muilkorven. Volgende keer een half miljoen!
Et sinon, voici Mélissa Hortman

Pour elle, aucun drapeau en berne, aucune réaction de pays étranger, aucun éditorial, aucun groupe de musique. Rien.

U.S. aid to Ukraine almost totally collapsed since Donald Trump became president. This goes for military as well as non-military assistance, the Kiel Institute has found. www.ifw-kiel.de/publications...
Je vóelt dat het eraan komt. Je ziét het gebeuren.
Je wéét hoe het zal gaan...

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen
Het ligt gelukkig altijd aan de ander
The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Karina Vinnikova (@KarinaVinnikova ), followed by a reply from Moxie Marlinspike (@moxie ). Karina Vinnikova's post reads: "The founder of Signal, ladies and gentlemen." There is a "Follow back" button visible next to the username. Moxie Marlinspike's reply reads: "There are so many great reasons to be on Signal. Now including the opportunity for the vice president of America to randomly add you to a group chat for coordination of sensitive military operations. Don’t sleep on this opportunity…."
Never miss a golden promo oppy.

The talk in Europe is “how to get a seat at the table.” Respectfully, that’s the wrong question. The right question is, “how can Europe build a new table.”
