Europe Must Be Strong

As I have written before, European values are in line with my personal values and therefore I will always support European values! These values are good and should be spread throughout the world with adaptations to societies outside Europe.

Every European country and its people must be strong in themselves. Europe as a whole must be strong on its own and this includes defence, which for many years has been heavily dependent on the United States. It's time for them to straighten themselves out from the United States.

This doesn't mean that I'm completely pro-Europe or Eurocentric, no. Don't get me wrong on that thing. I am an internationalist, I am for peace and freedom. Let's unite to make a better world for everyone. In varietate concordia, united in diversity.

“DEI is not a threat, it’s a gift”

- Dr Dre Global Impact Award Recipient Alicia Keys

[thedialoguedilemma]

President Donald Trump held a press conference today to discuss the tragedy that unfolded last night when a military Blackhawk helicopter collided with an American Airlines passenger plane resulting in over 60+ deaths.

During the press conference, he blamed Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) practices, former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, former President Biden and former President Obama for the crash.

President Trump fired the heads of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Coast Guard, and disbanded the Aviation Security Advisory Committee and fired 100 Federal Aviation Administration agents.

Elon Musk forced the FAA Administrator to resign once Trump took office because the FAA fined SpaceX for failing to get approval for launch changes causing the position to be currently vacant.

Absolutely disgusting.

It would be such a shame if people were to flood the special email account (DEIAtruth@opm.gov) dedicated to receiving reports on US government employees who are resisting orders to eliminate DEI programs with unrelated emails about our favorite blorbos, omegaverse fics, steamy art, etc, thus filling it with spam and burying the actual reports.

It’d also be such a shame if people who want to be instantly aware of what’s going on sent “YES” to the email address hr@opm.gov and got signed up for a federal employee communications mailing list.

Such a shame it would be!!

"The Illinois Senate has passed HB 2789, a bill whose terms dictate that state funding from public or school libraries that remove books from circulation will be withheld.

As per the bill, the $62 million of funding that goes to the state’s libraries will only be eligible for said funding if they “adopt the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights” or “develop a written statement prohibiting the practice of banning books or other materials within the library or library system.“

Alexi Giannoulias, Illinois’s newly selected Secretary of State, first drafted the bill in response to the 67 book bans that were attempted in Illinois, as well as ban attempts in other states.

As to the cause of the increase in book bans, Giannoulias shared that, “All these efforts to curb reading materials have absolutely nothing to do with books. They are about restricting the freedom of ideas that certain individuals disagree with and that certain individuals think others should have access to.”

So far, the bill is the only one of its kind in existence. Since being passed in the Illinois Senate, it is now being sent to Governor J.B. Pritzker to be signed. It’s expected to go into effect, as the democratic governor has already voiced his support for the measure."

Our broad list of demands includes, but is not limited to: Climate action. Universal healthcare. Racial justice. Reproductive rights. LGBTQIA+ rights. Living wage / raise the minimum wage.

There's something so deeply sick about the Biden administration consistently making its Black politicians the face of its genocidal imperialism, especially Black women. The violence in the Black female UN Ambassador they used to veto the ceasefire exhalting Nelson Mandela, a staunch supporter of Palestinian liberation who the US themselves listed as a terrorist until 2008, as a PR exercise might be its peak.

This is why I prefer Republicans' flavour of racism. Wolves should wear their own face.

President Trump signed a memorandum today blaming the plane crash last night in Washington DC on the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion practices (DEI) of the Biden and Obama Administration’s

This comes after a report from the FAA noted that the staffing at Reagan National Airport was “not normal” and that two people were designated to man the controls for helicopters and planes but only 1 person was available.

Trump froze the hiring of federal employees—including air traffic controllers on his first day of office. Trump then fired the heads of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Coast Guard.

Trump claimed DEI was at an end in his administration even signing an Executive Order on it and still is blaming DEI.

Elon Musk also forced the Chief of the Federal Aviation Administration to resign after the FAA fined SpaceX for unsafe launch protocols. Trump didn’t appoint an acting FAA Chief until after the crash..TODAY.

When the press asked Trump if he was planning to visit the site, he responded saying “I have a plan to visit, not the site. Because you tell me, what’s the site? The water? You want me to go swimming?”
