Most of my posts focused #humanrights and #ruleOfLaw in the #US are posted on a separate account. And that’s where I primarily follow American commentators. If you want to know where this account is, feel free to indicate below by “liking,” making a comment, or sending a private message, and I’ll send you the name of the account privately.

The news that #X has suspended the #EU's advertising account on the platform after it issued a 120m EUR fine against X for breaking the #DSA is beyond hilarious.
And it might even be kind of good in the sense that politicians in Europe maybe finally realise how shitty it is to depend on such a lunatic for its public communications.

"Our Constitution was not designed to… improve lives of American people. Instead, it was designed to make it hard… to engage in #socialReform projects that might infringe on #PropertyRights.
#Democrats and #Republicans ALIKE became more interested in #wealthGeneration than in addressing an ever-widening #wealthGap."
Neither #Democracy nor the #RuleOfLaw can be built or endure in places with radically and persistently UNEQUAL distributions of wealth.

Five years on, the #RuleOfLaw Report shows that EU countries are better prepared to detect, prevent and address emerging challenges.
The report examines developments and addresses recommendations in 4 key areas including justice systems and media freedom.
It also includes 4 enlargement country chapters 🇦🇱🇲🇪🇲🇰🇷🇸 for the first time.
A proactive approach to promote and defend the rule of law is at the heart of the EU's success.

Democracy literally means rule of the common people. If your country is ruled by corporations and billionaires, then it is most certainly NOT a Democracy!

Two-thirds of the #DOJ unit defending #Trump policies in court have quit
The #US *Justice* Department unit charged with defending against legal challenges to signature Trump administration policies - such as restricting birthright citizenship & slashing funding to Harvard University - has lost nearly two-thirds of its staff, according to a list seen by Reuters.

"Can you believe it has been over a year since the conservatives on the Supreme Court invented a very special immunity for a very special president?
It’s arguably the worst decision to come out of the Roberts Court, which is saying something. And it isn’t a reach to say that if there had been no immunity decision, there likely would be no Donald Trump second term."

⚖️ Justice systems are becoming more digital, accessible, and efficient across the EU.
The 2025 EU Justice Scoreboard is out with the most recent findings:
📱24 countries let people & businesses access civil, commercial & admin cases online.
🏛️19 countries have tools to enforce administrative court rulings.
♿24 countries have accessible court buildings for people with a disability/reduced mobility.
A strong #RuleOfLaw means a stronger Single Market and more rights for EU citizens & businesses.

"We in this country have seen a remarkable change. And in Washington right now — and forgive me, I’m gonna use the 'f' word — we have a fascist, a fascist government that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated."
"We have been lied to over and over and over again about these camps. Our president said these detention camps were being put up to put in immigrants who had criminal records. We now have about 65–70,000 people incarcerated in these camps."
"29% have criminal records. 71% of the people in these camps, even with our country's and our government's statements about why they set up the camps, don’t belong there! 71% of the people in camps don’t belong there, according to the government, and yet they are put there."

The BBC's defence of the case against it brought by the Tangerine Tyrant is a great example of how a bully's bluster and hyperbolic threats can unwind rather seriously once exposed to the legal process... in this case the BBC's discovery process for defending their claim has backed Trump & his lawyers into a corner.
Here's @davidallengreen clearly setting out the details. It's giving to make you smile....
