European leaders have perfected the art of the grovel, performing a desperate diplomatic dance to appease Trump. They offer royal invites, golf flattery, and even call him “daddy” in the hopes of summoning a scrap of American support. They’re so busy kissing the ring, they’ve forgotten they’re still just vassals in Trump’s reality TV version of geopolitics where the only language that matters is raw power, and Europe has none.

European leaders behave like supplicants to an almighty Trump. Putin just sees him as a protege

Nato’s Trump-whispering has been vital for Ukraine – but the White House and the Kremlin have their own special channel, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

Plaintiff RABBI MARA NATHAN [FKN jew-bitch], the original plaintiff in the lawsuit, celebrated the decision, saying, “As a rabbi and public school parent, I welcome this ruling. Children’s religious beliefs should be instilled by parents and faith communities, not politicians and public schools.”
“The Ten Commandments are a cornerstone of our moral and legal heritage, and their presence in classrooms serves as a reminder of the values that guide responsible citizenship. Texas will always defend our right to uphold the foundational principles that have built this nation, and I will absolutely be appealing this flawed decision,” Paxton said in a statement.

In Washington, D.C., the voices of the people are cutting through the noise. Not politicians, but residents living in daily fear.

On the streets of the inner city, Reporter @CaraCastronuova heard a message loud and clear. President Trump’s call for federal police help is long overdue.

For years, violent crime in the nation’s capital has surged. Shootings, carjackings, and homicides now define daily life in many neighborhoods.

Proud to be Garbage

While city leaders downplay the crisis, residents say they’ve been left to fend for themselves.

This is what they said:
• “I’ve been shot four times since moving here.”
• “There’s no boxing, no football, no rec centers, no mentors.”
• “Other countries are protected. Why can’t we be?”
• “Just let Trump take over.”

Generations of D.C. kids are growing up with no programs, no safe spaces, only violence. Failed progressive leadership has left entire neighborhoods abandoned.

Custom Classes & Pages in Themes?

Sorry to keep bugging the @Friendica Developers but the documentation seems pretty incomplete and outdated.

How would I create a custom class with a corresponding template at a custom path in a theme?

What I want to do is implement a completely customized type of "hovercard."

I don’t want to just add a custom "hovercard.tpl" to my theme. I also need to modify the data coming into it from /src/Content/Widget/Hovercard.php

I want to call this custom implementation a "minicard" and I need to feed it additional data "hovercard.tpl" does not receive from “Hovercard.php”.

I have already figured out how to intercept the feeds using Hook::register('template_vars'…); and by including my custom "minicard.tpl" inside my custom "wall_thread.tpl" file. And that works but it means my reworking of template_vars happens, and the "minicard" HTML is repeated for every person and is part of the feed HTML whether anyone ever looks at the "minicard" or not.

The only real plus is I can show a card with pure CSS, there's no JS/jQuery required because the cards are already in the HTML.

But I’m trying to make this new theme more efficient and performant. This feels like the opposite of that.

So, ideally, what I want to do is create a custom "Minicard" class inside a "Minicard.php" file that uses my "minicard.tpl" template, and like it does in the "Frio" theme this only happens if someone mouses over a profile link or clicks on a profile photo.

I have a version of the jQuery code working without tooltip.js or Bootstrap. That’s not the problem. But when it tries to go get the "minicard" HTML by sending: https//friendica.dev/contact/minicard?url=contact/redir/5&=175571665873 the XHR gives me a "404 Page not found" error.

In my theme’s config.php file I have tried loading my custom class "Minicard.php" file using:
require_once __DIR__ . '/php/Minicard.php'; and that doesn’t seem to work. So I thought maybe it needs to be similarly placed to the "Hovercard.php" in the Friendica core, so I also tried:
require_once __DIR__ . '/php/Content/Widget/Minicard.php'; but that doesn’t work either.

Even though the "hovercard.tpl" appears to live just inside the /templates folder I’ve also tried putting my "minicard.tpl" template inside templates/contact/minicard.tpl but that doesn’t seem to make a difference either.

But no matter what I've tried I just keep getting a "404 Page Not Found" error.

Do I need to define that custom path somewhere? If so where? How?

I can't really find anything in the docs about doing this and the only example I’ve found picking through the code is the custom /php/Image.php class file in the “Frio” theme that is loaded by the theme’s "config.php" file. But that class doesn’t do anything with a template.

Ultimately if nobody can clue me in or I can’t figure this out my new theme will at the very least have the same set-up for hovercards as "Frio" does. But I was really hoping to improve upon it.
