The Reflecting Pool debacle is a perfect example of why Trump corruption matters. Goons get fat contracts to do craptastic government work. They get rich. Taxpayers get ripped off. And when people point it out, the feds hammer them into silence. We used to mock Communists for this garbage.
#Ceuta was almost back to normal within a day. The propaganda was not. #Trump turned a Spanish border into a prop for the US midterms, #Musk and the MAGA echo chamber amplified it, and #Weber’s EPP embraced the script within hours.
Before any of us criticises people attempting to migrate into Europe, legally or illegally, we should first ask ourselves: "What would I do to save myself and my family from poverty, injustice, ethnic cleansing, tribal violence, drought, wildfires, floods, deadly heat, terrorism and war?"

A thread on how heroes like Dr. Anthony Fauci make Trump and the Republicans look like criminals by comparison. That's why they tried to destroy his good name. That's the story.
OTD in 1975 USSR signed Helsinki Accords promising to respect borders & let countries join what orgs like they want. As we, the self declared successor state, have *always* followed this, you can trust over a peace deal with Ukraine now.
1/ 🧵 Hours after migrants started dying trying to swim into Spain, Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon was online mocking them. A Spanish minister reposted him & said “things are becoming clear.” Israel had to publicly disavow its own ambassador. What did he say? #DV1 #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
Statt wegen des Flüchtlingsdramas in Ceuta den Druck auf Marokko zu erhöhen, fielen viele EU-Partner über Madrid her. Die Migrationspanik ist ein Geschenk an jeden, der Europa erpressen will.
