- I have held OPT, J1-F1-H1 VISAs but i cannot begin to imagine what it means to be an immigrant in the USA today. Targeting people at their most vulnerable times is beyond shameful. The shape of a dictatorship is clearly beginning to emerge. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

- "In the run-up to the election, Vance did multiple disastrous podcast interviews, but people did not focus on them for long. Eventually he started getting noticed for the things he wanted to say.” And this is exactly why we are going down..loss of focus and attention span=nobody's accountable

This sort of behaviour and the people promoting it are making a huge disservice to the USA. This, and arresting students in the middle of campuses. Seriously!? Ignorant and arrogant amateurs...

- Another brick in the wall. It is absolutely clear that the EU has to deliver on the dream which began in the 50s. In this mad world, we cannot rely on anybody else anymore. And a way to achieve this is to develop EU alternatives to the US-China monopoly on tech www.buy-european-made.eu

- I feel we live in a time of great danger but also great hopes. Europe should learn from his science community. It is time politicians take greater risk for a greater good. Time for a blue sky European (UK) project. The alternatives are simply not acceptable in my opinion.
