NEWS: The UK is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...
In Scandinavia we are utterly amazed how you still haven’t been able to sort out healthcare for your population
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Lot of double communication. Absolutely horrible what happened, but whoever did it - don’t let this be a Reichstag moment for the US
In light of today’s SCOTUS decision, every person of color with an accent in the US should probably carry proof of citizenship with them at all times - while working and everywhere they go. If you don’t want to be in a detention facility awaiting a friend or relative to bring it.

When asked if he would uphold the Constitution, he says "I don't know."
If this isn't dictatorship, I don't know what is.
Great book!
