Trump is literally a second generation immigrant.
Ann Coulter@AnnCoulter
That beautiful ending to Trump's SOTU address reminds me why we can't have a second-, third-, or fourth- generation immigrant as president. Love for our country has to be in your genes.

@JohnRentoul @FraserNelson We don’t know that he was not first interviewed voluntarily, or asked to and he declined.

No evidence it was necessary to arrest Andrew rather than to interview him: @FraserNelson is right thetimes.com/comment/column…

@tux1234 @faisalislam Bond market is you and me. Anyone who borrows.

@faisalislam Nobody elected them, why do you not point this out? If we're running the country based on bond markets then we need to know WHO they are.

@TOHEEBADEWALE14 @RpsAgainstTrump UN.
The board of peace has a mandate for managing Gaza and needs to revise its constitution to fulfil its legal duty to do that. As currently drafted the constitution traps members in a talking shop with dictators.
English

@RpsAgainstTrump Not surprising. Europe loves talking about “peace” until it involves aligning with Trump or taking real responsibility. Declining the table is easy shaping outcomes is harder.

I was one of the 52 American diplomats held hostage in Iran from 1979 to 1981. For the last 47 years, I have carried the memory of those 444 days while working to support hostages, now as a co‑founder of Hostage Aid Worldwide.
I have also spent decades observing the turbulent relationship between the United States and the Islamic Republic. This is how I see the upcoming negotiations in Oman.
The United States and Iran are set to hold high‑level talks this Friday in Muscat—just weeks after the regime’s bloody crackdown on nationwide protests that left thousands of Iranians murdered while the world largely looked away.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will meet with Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The talks unfold under a major U.S. military buildup, including a carrier strike group, and President Trump’s threats of actions “far worse” than previous strikes if no agreement is reached.
Washington says it wants limits on Iran’s nuclear program, restrictions on ballistic missiles, and accountability for the regime’s assault on peaceful protestors who have spent decades demanding an open society. Tehran is focused almost entirely on lifting heavy economic sanctions—while ignoring its own inhumane treatment of its people.
Expectations for a meaningful agreement are low. Many see this meeting as an attempt to avoid direct military conflict rather than a path to justice.
Iranians who pleaded for U.S. help during last month’s massacre now feel abandoned as Washington pivots from promises of support to diplomacy in Oman. Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign continues, but so do the executions.
His calls for Iranians to “take over institutions” and assurances that “help was on its way” amounted to incitement without intervention. He drew a red line, then allowed the regime to cross it.
There were alternatives. The U.S. could have provided satellite internet during the regime’s blackouts. It could have led to coordinated diplomatic pressure—ambassador withdrawals, UN condemnations. Some argue that once a red line was declared, there should have been limited strikes on the IRGC’s machinery of repression and thereby reduce the regime’s ability to kill its own citizens. I wish it were possible without leading to more deaths of the innocents.
And before encouraging a revolution, Washington could have worked to unify the fragmented Iranian opposition.
Instead, we have moved from “locked and loaded” to talks in Oman—while the regime continues executions and repression.
After nearly half a century of watching this regime and its brutality, we must meet this moment with clarity

@JDVance @StephenM @Nigel_Farage @TiceRichard and all the other cackling stones should watch, listen; see whether their souls are still intact - still capable of being stirred, touched, moved; whether humanity still lives inside them.

@RicciGeri @DanishMFA I think when you go to Greenland you will find a highly homogenous culture, lots of immigrants too (but American) and a birth rate equal to the US. Apart from those facts……
English

Yawn... USA has been in Greenland since 1941... millions of dollars improving, securing, donating to the culture and safety. Your issues are not about Greenland. Your issues about the denigration of cultures and Western Civilization by the replacement of your people who are not reproductively producing babies. Read the Preamble to NATO Charter which is a legal contract with your people. Your countries promised to protect your "common heritage", civilization (western), rule of law (not Sharia) and democracy (Western-respecting woman as equals and having rights). You broke the contract. @POTUS @realDonaldTrump

@fiona_lali The advice they have is to end the strike an take medical support. No one is starving them. It is a self inflicted harm.

@Bubblebathgirl What I saw suggested he reminded serving officers that they had an obligation to follow lawful orders and not follow unlawful orders. That is not a controversial position to take. Every officer knows that that is their obligation.

@RpsAgainstTrump A simple glance at Wikipedia would tell him the history.

@ClaudiaWebbe Prisoners of conscience are held for beliefs. These are remand prisoners.
English

@Prisoners4Pal Why would the govt be responsible? The govt is not responsible for a remand prisoner’s behaviour.

Now on day 61, anything could happen at any given minute and the government would be responsible!

Four anti-genocide activists face death in British prisons. Literally. It is Day 57 of their indefinite hunger strike. They are prisoners of conscience protesting against Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The British state is torturing them into silence. Free them now
