No I don't care about my profile pic. Imagine it.
The conspiracy theories the Right came up with about the Clintons and Obama and Biden are absolutely true of Trump and Kushner and the rest of the ilk… every accusation has been a confession.
Every damn one.
Any talks/negotiations about a post-war security arrangement for Europe need to start from the indisputable fact that Russia’s neighbours have an acute need of protection from Russia whereas Russia has no demonstrable need for protection (and it already has nukes for that).
Twitter ("X") and Facebook ("Meta") started out as data mining operations where their users are unpaid data entry clerks. They expanded to become information warfare platforms for fascist russia – working against democracy and for the oligarchy.
They must be publicly regulated.
This is exactly why “negotiations” are a waste of time.
Ukraine, along with help from its true allies in the EU and Canada, need to continue to disassemble Russia’s economic ability to wage this war— which means destroying its oil industry.
Nothing says "the media manufactured the Russia hoax" than going on a hunting trip with one Russian oligarch right after another Russian oligarch had paid for your wedding.
The remote rendezvous in August highlights the remarkable relationship between a son of the US president and a businessman with ties to the Kremlin. ft.trib.al/9g7wnme
Putin: “Russia is exploring the possibility of cooperation with the US in the Arctic.”
Just a reminder of Trump’s lies that he wanted Greenland to keep Russia out of the Arctic.
A stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, whose government cultivated close ties with Donald Trump and his family, has conceded defeat to a student-led opposition movement in a historic parliamentary election.
Zohran Mamdani on Netanyahu: "When you ask me about Netanyahu, we're talking about the architect of a horrific genocide. People talk about a ceasefire. Just last week, the Israeli military killed an 11-year-old Palestinian boy in Gaza in a section that's considered to be a safe zone."🇵🇸😢🇱🇧
The United Nations recognizes Russia's systematic strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure as war crimes and crimes against humanity. Russians also trafficked foreign nationals for fight with their armed forces invading Ukraine.

🇺🇸 Trump Jr. went hunting in Mongolia with Putin-linked Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev, the FT reports. They avoided photos together. The US Embassy spent $18,715 on hotels for a Secret Service visit during the same period – possibly to protect Trump Jr. on his private trip.
🇺🇸 Trump Jr.’s lavish Bahamas wedding was secretly bankrolled by Putin-linked Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev, ProPublica reports. His spokesman didn’t deny the payments, calling Kremlev a “personal friend of Don” but saying they have no business relationship.
🇧🇷 Brazilian President Lula’s first statement:
“These were elections in which we had to overcome foreign interference in our country through digital platforms. We will have to regulate these platforms.”
The Soviet regime projected strength right up until it crumbled.
If there’s one thing you can guarantee, it’s that the Kremlin will keep projecting strength, whatever the reality.
Same meat, different gravy.
If Brazil falls to the right wing today, the Trump capture of South America will be complete. The US, Israel and Russia anti-democratic forces will have greater room to concentrate operations on Mexico and Canada. Brazil’s outcome will carry global consequences for democracy.
In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.
Meanwhile, pro-democracy, pro-Europe protesters in Tbilisi, Georgia, are tonight nearing their 700th consecutive day of protest against the pro-Russian government.
They haven't missed a single day in the last 23 months.
Vučić and especially his network behind him were essentiell for Russia's meddling into Serbia. Vučić also had a rather close relationship with associates of Trump. Grenell and Jared Kushner were in the Serbian capital, discussing "infrastructure" projects.
This is the biggest corruption scandal in American history. The Trump crime family is trying to sell the future natural gas rights of Alaska to the Russians in exchange for $25 billion in cash for themselves today.
The people of Serbia celebrating the defeat of the dictator who held full authoritarian control of their country for nearly 14 years. This is what democracy looks like.
Americans have now spent $142 billion more on gasoline and diesel since March 1, enough to buy 361,000 homes at the September median price, enough to house over 900,000 people, due to the US war on Iran and other factors like limited output from Russia
We are making the oil oligarchs rich. We are making Trump and his cronies rich. It is literally at our expense every day. There’s no trickling down happening. And Trump is bragging about it knowing nobody in the Republican Party will stand up to him and say enough.
.
America has now openly joined Putin in its unprovoked war on Europe.
After Nazi Germany attacked Europe it took decades to trust Germany again.
Only the American people can depose the traitor who has destroyed their once proud nation.
Only they can speed the recovery of its nation's reputation.
Meta is accused of election interference in Brazil after restricting Lula's Instagram while recommending Bolsonaro's accounts. 1,613 foreign-funded political ads were uncovered generating 171M impressions. Brazil has ordered Meta to explain its conduct.
Solar has become “the obvious choice” for consumers, said Nsitem. “As the US-Iran war pushed up global fuel prices, the cost of operating these generators has risen, making solar systems much more attractive overnight.”

Hospitals bombed.
Schools flattened.
A population starved.
Yet the EU–Israel Trade Agreement continues, with trade worth €45 billion.
The European Union is complicit in Israel’s genocide and the murder of over 70,000 Palestinians.
SCRAP THE AGREEMENT.
Eight months ago, we learned that Howard Lutnick blatantly lied to the public about his personal and business ties with Jeffrey Epstein, who raped children.
So why is Lutnick still Commerce secretary?
Because telling lies and befriending child molesters make him a good fit in the Trump regime.
An absurd proposal to give russia a chunk of Ukraine, pretend that the war didn't happen, and return to the structural conditions that made it happen in the first place-- economic interdependence w imperialist russia and no security guarantees for its neighbours.
Jared Kushner exposed for taking $2 Billion in bribes from Saudi and the UAE for "influencing US Politics and striking a deal to end the war in Gaza." Plus, an additional $1 Billion for "his personal benefit." #TrumpCrimeFamily
