Right. This is a major political disaster __ whether intentional or not.
I commit to never ever vote for one of your political parties unless there is an _articulate_ statement.
Care to comment @eliodirupo@OChastel@Sophie_Wilmes@jvanovertveldt? Will you fix this?
In Belgium @eliodirupo@OChastel@Sophie_Wilmes and @jvanovertveldt receive a paycheck from European taxpayers and failed to show up for voting today at the European Parliament.
They failed us.
Give us our money back.
Très vite, les parents d’Aurélien remarquent qu’il y a chez leur fils “quelque chose qui cloche”. S’ensuivra un formidable projet… https://t.co/7LTS9dnUeL
Anthropic has been absolutely heroic.
Let's ALL switch to Claude today - not just because it's the best AI model (that the Pentagon WILL NOT have for mass surveillance + killer drones), but also because they are simply the good guys.
This father went to his citizenship hearing expecting a handshake.
Instead, ICE shackled him, threw him into a van, and tore him away from his pregnant wife and four children—without even letting him say goodbye.
Kasper Eriksen arrived in Mississippi from Denmark in 2013, fully documented and determined to build a life here.
He started a family, became part of his community, and followed every rule. He was never accused, let alone convicted, of any crime.
But as best we understand, he's now imprisoned because of a single clerical mistake made years ago. In 2015, Kasper and his wife, Savannah, missed filing one form, among the hundreds required on the complicated path to citizenship.
Savannah had just suffered a stillbirth, losing their first child. In the painful days that followed, paperwork deadlines understandably slipped past unnoticed.
Now, over a month after his arrest, Kasper remains locked in a detention facility notorious for cruelty, neglect, and abuse.
Savannah—eight months pregnant, at high risk, and terrified—is desperately pleading for her husband's return.
She and their children have no idea when or if they'll ever see him again, and she doesn't know if he'll be present for her child's birth.
Every day brings another nightmare under the Trump administration.
The actions of our government are evil. There's simply no other way to describe it.
May God have mercy on us all for allowing this to happen.
Sorry for the Godwin, but I’ve been thinking a lot lately about Ian Kershaw’s concept of 'Working Toward the Führer' and the striking parallels with how Trump is 'governing'.
