One third of the signatures there! 343,149 people have already signed. Of course we have a year, but the faster, the better. Please share this with all your EU citizen friends!

⚠️ Update: #Iran remains in the midst of a national internet blackout in its third week at hour 348 with only a slight rise in overall connectivity and tunneled users. There are indications of an attempt to generate false traffic and manufacture narratives of a wider restoration.
Yesterday, ICE detained a five year old child and used him as bait to get to his father
Today, 7 #Democrats voted YES to continue funding another year of unconstitutional #ICE activity
Tom Suozzi (New York)
Henry Cuellar (Texas)
Don Davis (North Carolina)
Laura Gillen (New York)

Please boost to widely and unapologetically SHAME these assholes
Please see our statement regarding today's DHS funding vote and why we must unfortunately rescind our endorsements of Reps. Don Davis, Laura Gillen, and Vicente Gonzalez.
@ApostateEnglishman @inthehands people from the UK and Europe can definitely directly help more than you might think!. If you still have them cancel your US based streaming services, close amazon accounts, apple accounts, etc, get your friends and family off twitter/facebook. These billionaire owned services are all directly funding tump and this chaos for personal profit. Europe could make a HUGE impact by canceling accounts on Friday en-masse.
Of course, Israeli president Netanyahu couldn't be at the Supreme Board of Peace signing ceremony in person as he still has a warrant out for his arrest in Europe for war crimes.
It's ironic. Or at least it would be if it was the slightest bit funny.
Trump is setting up his Supreme Board of Peace because he is trying to replace the U.N. He hates the U.N. because the people there are better than him and refuse to play the game his way.
Of course this is a familiar story. It's exactly the same reason he opened all those golf clubs.

You can’t detain a 5 year old child.
If a masked man grabs a kid off the street and puts him in an unmarked car… that’s kidnapping.
If that child is then sent to another state? That’s trafficking.
Language matters here.
What happened to Liam Ramos should outrage us all.
Renee Nicole Good’s family have released preliminary autopsy details.
It’s bad.
She was shot three times and the first two shots were non lethal.
One to her forearm and one to her right breast which missed all major organs.
She could have survived that.
Jonathan Ross was well outside the path of the vehicle at that point and leaned into the driver’s side window to deliver the third shot.
It went through her left temple and exited the right side of her head.
It was murder. Plain and simple.
Every ICE agent who failed to render aid should be charged as an accessory, and Ross should be arrested immediately.
The government must stop covering for killers.
So right now we could wipe cervical cancer off the face of the planet.
It's a virus and there is a 100% effective vaccine.
We could just end that suffering and death. Gone.
That we choose not to do this, to allow the death and suffering to continue, is obscenity, abomination, and the literal calling card of the 21st century - yet another conservative death wish as absolute policy.
Conservatism is a death cult. Every conservative is an agent of death.
Treat them like that. The enemy of life.
Here's a little advanced computer tip for you all on a Friday, definitely not based on recent personal experience.
If you have plugged in a cable, and it does not work, ensure that the end of the cable that you have plugged in is part of the same cable as the other end of the cable. This can really make a difference.
Yours bemusedly,
Neil

Agentes del ICE, sin una orden judicial, RETIENEN a una NIÑA de 5 años con AUTISMO en un intento de obligar a su madre a salir de la casa para poder arrestarla
“Ella nació aquí
No la toques, tiene autismo
Devuélveme a mi hija”
“No, vas a tener que salir aquí a cogerla”
