GrapheneOS is great and I recommend it all the time for Android users who are concerned about spying by governments and law enforcement.

We’re going down a dark path. Hard to see how we can get back on middle ground with our American values intact. Trump and his key lieutenants are authoritarian. (Canada, Greenland, Panama), Vindictive. Greedy. Ignorant. (Bobby Kennedy and science.)

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Agree. At this point, you disrespect Ukraine, you disrespect Europe. This would’ve been unacceptable towards any European leader but the fact that Zelenskyy leads a country at war makes it the greatest possible insult.

When Russia invaded Ukraine, Finland’s then-president Niinistö said that the masks had fallen. If anyone was still clinging onto some kind of hope of Trump coming around on Ukraine, this disgrace of a press conference should make everything clear now. Trump is anti-Ukraine. Pro-Russia.

If true then the US is now a genuine Russia-style mafia state. Russia extorts with energy-, the US with tech-dependence. I trust the conclusions we draw from this will also turn into a semblance of policy.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

Why is Trump so aggressive towards Europe? He likes to fantasize of himself as the greatest dealmaker around. A united Europe is too mighty a party to deal with so he chooses to sow discord and break it into pieces. Then he can negotiate his deals from a position of power with way smaller entities

What is Europe to Trump? A competitor in world trade. Divide and conquer Europe is what he’s intending to do. The US is no longer Europe’s trusted ally in any sense. Better to admit that, draw conclusions and readjust policies accordingly - defense, trade, economy, allegiances
