The real reason for the American right's anti-EU stance is that pushing around 27 individual countries is easy, but dominating a unified Europe is impossible. Everything else is just red herrings and propaganda.
With Russian operative and generic "Florida Man" Anna Paulina Luna now effectively calling for the dissolution of the EU, it believe it is worth revisiting just how utterly tragic EU accession has been for some of the most recent member states to join.🧵

Minneapolis residents aren’t just pushing back against Trump’s crackdown—they’re undercutting MAGA’s core philosophy, Adam Serwer argues. 📸: Jack Califano for The Atlantic theatln.tc/G91IlUX4

Cynics and defeatists share the same story as authoritarians do: that nothing is worth trying, the conclusion is foregone, hope is naïve, and attempts to resist are too small or futile. Don’t listen to them. Do not give up. Try. A better world is possible. We will win. We must.

the entire western economy is now staked on the success of a handful of tech companies' attempts to simulate media we already had access to, including a 30 year old sitcom with over 200 episodes you could watch at any given point before now

Troops in major cities. Next may come Trump explaining the national climate is "just too dangerous" to vote in 2026. That's how the authoritarian takeover works. Step by step.

This 💯. Instead of getting behind an incredibly ambitious indigenous Irish tech company ⁦@MannaAero⁩ with ⁦@realBobbyHealy⁩ and rooting for it’s success, typical nimbism kicks in. If it was a FDI multinational red carpets would be out. businesspost.ie/analysis-opi…

Replying to @Keir_Starmer
Does the same go for British ‘ex-pats’? What would you make of it if say the Spanish enacted the same policy to Brits? Pathetic pandering that will get you nowhere.

If you are too afraid to use your voice, make way for someone with more courage. This is not a time for small people.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R): "We are all afraid…I am oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice because retaliation is real."

Just spoke with Ukraine’s Foreign Minister @andrii_sybiha, who is currently in Washington DC with his President @ZelenskyyUa. I assured him of the support and solidarity of the people of Ireland. Slava Ukraini

Bloody hell, President Zelensky is taking on both Trump and Vance in the Oval Office. He is the only leader who's visited Trump who is telling it like it is. He's got more balls than every other man who's ever been in that room. #SlavaUkraïni

In this new world, if you're not around the table, you're on the menu. If China, Russia, US are allowed to decide Europe's future, our future won't be ours. European leaders...lead! on.ft.com/3EG3xR4
