"When the EU pressures other countries, such as South Africa and others in the Global South, to align with its geopolitical priorities (on Ukraine/Russia), while giving itself a pass when convenient (on Israel/Palestine), it grates in other parts of the world and undermines the very case for the “rules-based international order” that the EU purports to defend and exemplify."

Responsible Statecraft · Saudi Arabia chooses sides in Sudan's civil warBy Elfadil Ibrahim

In #America everyone speaks of the cost of the 'grocery' and the #Tariff ...
But nobody seems to take the MAIN problem into consideration

All
... truly all
#TRUMP actions
have been aimed at weakening and damaging #America
first trump attacked the #Institutions and the #Governament
dismantel it
then trump damaged the #Army eliminating capable officers
Then attacked the #Allies
now tanking the US #Economy

No Trump action has been in 'favor' of the #USA
...
Nobody asks questions ?

From @phillipspobrien.substack.com "Neither #China nor the #USA understand the value of #allies. Allies are vital to winning #wars and establishing predominance in times of #peace. Those [framing] the #Indo-Pacific as a U.S.-China confrontation [should] remember this. ... The power that does understand this [may be] the power that prevails in the struggle for control of the Indo-Pacific—the most vital area of the world, economically and strategically."

“The president has justified the imposition of these #tariffs on, in my view, a made-up emergency,” said Senator Tim Kaine, Democrat of Virginia & the lead sponsor of the resolution. “The #fentanyl emergency is from #Mexico & #China. It’s not from #Canada.”

The resolution… seeks to revoke the emergency declaration &, with it, #Trump’s ability to enforce the tariffs set to go into effect on Wednesday.

From the article: "Tampa Bay Times reporter Romy Ellenbogen accompanied Rheintgen to the Capitol. When they arrived, several officers were stationed outside the women’s restroom doors. They warned her not to enter the women’s restroom. Draped in a white, frilly dress and a pink bow, Rheintgen went in anyway and washed her hands.

"That’s when police entered the restroom and told Rheintgen she was being detained. A devout Catholic, she had wanted to take a moment to pray the rosary, but she never got the chance."

From the article: "The nascent group mobilized major political organizations, such as GLSEN and Planned Parenthood, for the event, plus elected officials including Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts, who called on the Democrats to pass the Transgender Bill of Rights, and Representative Sara Jacobs of California, who alongside Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington introduced a resolution earlier today to make the Trans Day of Visibility a nationally-recognized occasion.

“No matter what some in my party might say, we are not going to buy into the false narrative that we can either protect trans kids or win elections,” Jacobs said. “Because that is some bullshit.”

From the article: "Up to 40% of homeless youth in the United States identify as LGBTQ+, and 28% of LGBTQ+ youth report experiencing homelessness at some point in their lives—most often after being kicked out by unsupportive family members. Outed youth also face a heightened risk of being subjected to conversion therapy, a discredited and harmful practice still legal in several states. AB 1955 allows students to use names, pronouns, and gender presentation that reflect their identity at school without the fear that educators will preemptively out them to their families."

From the article: "A new poll from Data for Progress reveals broad public rejection of the Trump administration’s quiet campaign to erase LGBTQ+ health information from federal websites. According to the data, 52 percent of respondents oppose the removal of information on LGBTQ+ health disparities and nondiscrimination protections, while just 26 percent support it. The numbers reflect overwhelming resistance to the administration’s censorship effort—one that has already seen some reversals in court. In one particularly egregious case, an entire national student health dataset was taken down solely because it included questions about gender identity."

From the article: "According to the Center for American Progress (CAP), the order makes passports important to guaranteeing an American’s right to vote. But roughly half of all adult citizens—about 146 million people—do not have a passport.

"Meanwhile, Trump has made it illegal for trans people to get passports that match their gender identity. Trans people have reported their passports being delayed, seized or withheld."

From the article: "At least four countries have issued some sort of advisory for LGBT travelers to the United States — highlighting the dangers for LGBT Americans and visitors from across the globe.

"France, Denmark, Finland, and Germany comprise a growing list of nations who have issued such warnings. For example, French authorities have said that visitors to the U.S. are "strongly recommended" to check the U.S. embassy’s website "for any changes or new measures adopted."
