This is the only way to go. Six of the biggest EU states are probing how to deepen integration. Everyone agrees this is what is needed. Do it now. Others can join along the way.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

This is no accident but the predictable consequence of setting up armed far-right militias and promising them “absolute immunity.” As Europeans, we should hold to account those who cheered him on and still support him. We don‘t have to go down this route, we can hold up our values, our standards.

Victim Pretti (a nurse): - threatened no one - was pepper sprayed - helped someone up - struggled as ICE tackled & punched him in face - had (legal!) undrawn weapon removed by agent - shot @ close range on hand/knees - shot more @ distance while motionless on ground

There are concentration camps, a large secret police, and they're performing extra-judicial killings in the open even when they know they're being recorded. I dont think it could be clearer where we are at this moment.

The right is arguing that federal agents should be allowed to summarily execute you if you are carrying a firearm—after years of warning crazy people that federal agents would come and seize your guns.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure
The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

The UK‘s long march back towards or into the EU has begun. If Starmer would be a true leader, he would seize the moment, cite threats from Putin and Trump, lead the way, dwarf Greens and LibDems — and thus might stay in power. But he isn‘t, he is a fundamentally cautios person.
