While current EU elites will not enact substantial changes to meaningfully address non-European migration, the fact that Ursula von der Leyen describes non-European mass migration in Ceuta and Eastern Europe as a threat confirms the Overton window is shifting on migration.
Different pronouns. Equal respect. 🌈
Using someone’s pronouns is a simple way to show respect for their identity.
On International Pronouns Day, we stand for a Europe where everyone can be themselves, free from discrimination. 🏳️🌈🇪🇺
I've actually come around on Europe's response to the latest moves from Washington. EU-leaders reacted slowly at first and they could, of course, be doing a lot more, but nobody else stands with Ukraine as strongly as they do at the moment. None of them is suger coating what Trump says anymore. They all criticised the diesel deal. Kallas even openly declared that the Americans are trying to force Ukraine to surrender - which is obviously the case. The EU adopted the largest sanctions package to date while all of this was going on. Several EU-leader publicly encouraged Ukraine to continue refinery strikes, which it subsequently did. Europe is working to provide Ukraine with an alternative to Starlink and Patriot missiles. And you can bet that EU-leaders are currently telling Zelensky behind to scenes to stand strong and not give in to American pressure.
"Musk did it all on his own initiative and it just so happened to coincide with Trump making a deal with Putin and the US not providing ballistic missile warnings and Patriot ammo to Ukraine."
Yeah, not buying this.
Incredible scoop by my @WSJ colleagues: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine, a decision that sparked panic in Kyiv and confusion inside the Trump administration. https://t.co/yvd8Xlgxe0
This whole two-year-long idiocy of endlessly arguing over who “wants peace” and who “doesn’t want peace” in Russia’s war of aggression aimed at annihilating Ukraine is officially the single stupidest thing ever to happen in the entire history of international relations and world diplomacy.
"We will not repeat the mistakes of [Western] European countries and we will also not pay for them. We defend our borders resolutely against illegal immigration. In line with our own immigration policy, we do not accept asylum requests and deport those who violate our laws.""
This is what Trump said in response to the riots in France. Sorry, did I say Trump? I meant liberal Polish prime minister Tusk.
'The president of the United States is a liar'
Political Commentator, Andy Williams says there is zero evidence to suggest migration has anything to do with the wave of protests in France.
These "migrant caravans" are such a retarded phenomenon. They form this procession of beggars hundreds of km away from the US border, surrounded by cameras, pretending like they only thing that would prevent them from starving is being allowed free access to the wealthiest country on the continent. "Por favor, senor America, da mi dinero!"
A migrant caravan with hundreds of people, mainly from Central America, continued traveling on foot through southern Mexico as the group headed towards the United States in hopes of work and better opportunities for their children

So Hegseth is blaming the Ukrainians and saying Elon made the decision to downgrade Ukraine’s Starlink service? Isn’t that completely different from Rubio’s explanation that it was a technical glitch? Days into this scandal and they can’t seem to get their stories straight.
I just love this one: "Ukraine, don't antagonize Trump."
Listen -- from the very first day of his return to the White House (and even long before that), Ukraine has indulged his every whim and gone along with every one of his insane plans.
It has dutifully catered to his grotesque craving for the most nauseating flattery and joined everyone else in massaging his monstrous ego, singing in chorus the praises of his incredible leadership, talent, power, and divine beauty.
Ukraine, and Zelensky himself in particular, has turned a blind eye to and endured countless humiliations, insulting antics, idiotic outbursts on Truth Social, and hysterical spectacles like the Oval Office showdown.
Ukraine has unfailingly supported 100% of his ridiculous, nonsensical, and downright idiotic imaginary "ceasefires," which Putin couldn't have given less of a damn about. And yet Ukraine had to listen, over and over again, to accusations that it "doesn't want peace," responding to every such outrage with yet more praise for Trump and bending over backward to appease him, desperate not to give him the slightest excuse to accuse it of being "uncooperative."
Meanwhile, Putin has spent all this time amusing himself, making a complete fool of Trump in front of the entire world, and openly spitting on every one of his frantic diplomatic maneuvers.
We've been living in this madhouse, where night has become day and day has become night, for almost two years now.
And what?
How's that working out?
What has all of this accomplished?
More slaps in the face, and ultimately, Donald Trump's complete and final betrayal and his active decision to side with the Russian aggressor.
And somehow it's Ukraine that's "antagonizing" someone?
At least have the decency to stop hiding behind this laughable victim-blaming and your invented alternate realities, and just come out and say it: "Just fucking die, all of you Ukrainians, so our idol can line his pockets with Kremlin money."
@enbybarista "Undermining the concept of citizenship"
If that concept were so important they shouldn't have started handing citizenship out to like candy to the entire world.
@Mittelmoselaner "Be a beast" Calm down drama queen. You make it sound like it's the holocaust while we are literally just talking about making some people - armed criminals in this case - live in another country.
Tusk and Sánchez had a row over migration at the European Council meeting a few days ago. At one point, Tusk left the meeting. Costa then intervened and asked Tusk to return.
It is easy to be against mass immigration. That is pretty much the consensus across Europe by now. The new dividing line is whether or not you want people like these - most of whom undoubtedly have EU-passports - denaturalised and deported from our continent.
It’s important to remember that the gangs in France have zero fear of the police and are well-armed
They feel secure enough to shoot Scorpion submachine guns in residential areas just to show off for a German YouTuber visiting their no-go zone
