“We cannot continue to squabble to find ad-hoc solutions each time a new ship arrives.”
During #SOTEU, President @JunckerEU proposed:
• A reinforced European Union Agency for Asylum
• A fully equipped #EUBorderGuard
• Stronger EU rules on return
• Legal migration
#MigrationEU
We are proposing to equip the #EUBorderGuard with the operational capacity and powers needed to effectively support Member States on the ground.
The new standing corps of 10,000 operational staff will ensure that the EU has the necessary capabilities in place.
#SOTEU #MigrationEU
We are proposing to reinforce the European Union Agency for Asylum to help Member States to process asylum applications swiftly, including through the deployment of migration management support teams. #MigrationEU
#SOTEU
We are renewing our call to open safe and legal pathways to Europe pathways to the Union. We need skilled migrants.

Couple of safety reminders from your Twitter Mom Friend.

There have been a few serious house fires in my area in just like the last weekend. House fires are more common when the weather is cold. There are multiple factors contributing to this.
People are using their fireplaces, using space heaters and electric blankets and ad hoc solutions like heating pads and candles and keeping the oven on, running furnaces for maybe the first time in a while, etc.
First, before you light a fire in your fireplace, make sure that everything is in order, that you didn't (for instance) have a stack of magazines or a rug or something creep too close to the hearth during the warm months, the flu is open, the fireplace is clean, etc.

1/? Here we go then, Jean-Claude Juncker's (probably) last ever State of the Union speech. Last year's caused quite a stir. Will J-C look to go out with a bang? Expecting big forays on migration, Rule of Law, foreign & defence policy, & probably a small mention of Brexit. #SOTEU
Juncker unsurprisingly starts out by talking up the current strengths of the EU economy. He points out there are a record 239 million people in work across Europe and youth unemployment stands at 14.8%. Adds: 'That figure is still too high but it's the lowest figure since 2000.'
Juncker says he's proud to have helped Greece stay in the eurozone despite the 'painful years' that caused, and adds: 'I pay homage to the Herculean efforts of the Greek people, an effort that others in Europe still haven't acknowledged sufficiently.'

1/I'm of the opinion that socialists and liberals (including neoliberals) should usually work in parallel, instead of fighting each other.

To put it mildly, this is a very unpopular viewpoint. But let me explain my thinking a bit.
2/Neoliberalism (as I see it) specializes in ad-hoc solutions. It's basically a way of patching up the mixed economy and enacting gradual, piecemeal change toward a society that is both wealthier and more fair and just.

3/Socialism (as I see it) is, in contrast, about bringing about sweeping change through enduring mass organization - people power on a large and permanent scale.

International Women's Day coincided with @EricaKomisarCSW's book crossing my path again. The glib platitudes circulating while anyone who challenges the consensus is shouted down got me thinking (oh dear).
For a decade I worked as a nanny, at daycare, and in foster care. I've avoided speaking about what I observed b/c I love the children I've cared for & preferred to focus on that. Who wants to argue w/ people emotionally motivated to interpret facts in the most comfortable way?
But everyday I'm bombarded on social media by people using children to push agendas. To guilt others while claiming to hate guilt. To judge while rejecting judgment. What happens is the actual children, become props for the agenda of others while caregivers are silent or ignored.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
