D for Democracy.

British actress Kate Beckinsale — one of the finest of her generation — says she was dropped by her agent after liking a post calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

“I liked a post about a ceasefire… and I was fired the same day.”

Beckinsale is also known for speaking Russian and being well versed in Russian classical literature.

Even she, for all her intelligence, seems to have tried not to cross any red lines. But in the end, even a like was enough.

Liberals will be liberals. Democracy will be democracy.

By the way, what was the agent’s name?

🗣 “I truly admire Trump’s leadership…”

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte went on CNN, the American network seen as most hostile to Trump, and spent the entire interview fending off the reporter while showering the current U.S. president with compliments. A fairly typical exchange went like this:

Question: When Trump threatened to wipe out the whole of Iranian civilization, did that worry you as a diplomat?

Mark Rutte: I’m not going to comment on everything. What I do want you to know is that I support Trump…

More broadly, after meeting with Trump, Rutte acknowledged that the U.S. president is clearly disappointed with America’s allies in the alliance and agreed that some countries had “failed the U.S. test” when they refused to help in the conflict with Iran.

Perhaps the most curious moment of the interview was Rutte’s claim that NATO should serve as a platform for projecting U.S. military power, even though NATO’s official mandate on paper is to be “a defensive alliance focused on collective security.”
