With such luminaries, it won't be a reprise of Charles I and the English Civil War.

In other words, they had Washington, Madison, Hamilton, and Jefferson, while we have such luminaries as Cruz, Hawley, Blackburn, and, of course, Trump and Musk.
So, even if we eject the insurrectionist party from most of the levers of power, I fear we can hope for little.

🇪🇺 Having endured my share of aggravating "not border checks" courtesy of DE/PL law enforcement, I wholeheartedly support this action by @alemanno.bsky.social and his team, with support from luminaries of EU law. Schengen is meaningless if you need to pass the "white/not white" test along the way.
🛂 Who checks the border checks?
🖋️ Today, The Good Lobby filed a formal complaint with the Commission, signed by over 100 academics and former EU Commissioners, as well as former MEP Sophie in 't Veld. It asks the Commission to enforce the rules.

The elements today:
- Luminaries in air
- Mercury & Venus in water
- Mars, Jupiter & Saturn in fire
Air & water are moist elements, they are linked with interaction, adaptability, malleability.
Fire is a dry element, it imposes itself, is non-molding, but also illuminates and energizes.
