i really can't give more praise to the utterly brilliant strategy of the acting president of the united states and his head of state department choosing to bully one of the most conservative and most staunchly pro-atlantic-treaty members of the polish government.

1. Major news in transgender care. Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines. They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the Cass Review in England. Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care. Subscribe to support our journalism.

New German, Swiss, And Austrian Guidelines Recommend Trans Youth Care, Slam Cass Review

The recommendations, released by the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany, come at a time when US politicians erroneously claim that Europe is "pulling back" on transgender care.

There is a bill proposed to ban the use of the military to invade or seize land from Canada, Greenland, or Panama. We all know it won't pass. The US media is already normalizing propaganda against Canada, painting us as a security thread due to fentanyl.

Text from speech:
Is this the end of the Atlantic Alliance? The risk is great.

But in the last few days, the public humiliation of Zelensky and all the crazy decisions taken during the past month have finally made the Americans react.

Polls are falling. Republican lawmakers are being greeted by hostile crowds in their constituencies. Even Fox News is becoming critical.

The Trumpists are no longer in their majesty. They control the executive, Congress, the Supreme Court, and social networks.

But in American history, the defenders of freedom have always prevailed. They are beginning to raise their heads.

The fate of Ukraine is being played out in the trenches, but it also depends on those in the US who want to defend democracy, and here on our ability to unite Europeans, find the means for their common defense, and make Europe the power it once was in history and that it hesitates to become again.

Our parents defeated fascism and communism at great cost.

The task of our generation is to defeat the totalitarianisms of the 21st century.

Long live free Ukraine, long live democratic Europe.

Now is a good time to start using social media to amplify images and video of protest, especially if you have a significant following. We've known since Occupy and Arab Spring that social media is a remarkably potent tool when it comes to forcing mainstream media to cover militant dissent.

Protest is happening, people are beginning to mobilize. I believe it will snowball, but for that to happen, people need to know that they are part of a growing movement. The media should be holding up that mirror. And since they aren't, we need to embarrass them.
