false premises planted by moscow enter public debate through careless repetition or deliberate amplification invasion becomes "war in Ukraine" russia's insistence that neighbors are to be murdered until they give up sovereignty, becomes "security interests" kyivindependent.com/when-righteo...

Google was fined $1B by the EU earlier this week for abusing its search monopoly by favoring its own services and forcing Android developers to use its in-app billing service. Trump has promised to retaliate against the fine with tariffs and Google issued a statement thanking Trump for his support.
Fantastisk! Byen Grenoble valgte å ikke fornye kontrakten med JCDecaux i 2015, og nå er hele byen befridd for stygge reklameskilt og visuell forsøpling! Oslo neste?

While we kill Ukrainian civilians "cos of NATO", I am keeping my yacht safe in NATO waters... What an aggressive alliance it really is. meduza.io/en/news/2026...
Yachts linked to six Russian billionaires, plus Vladimir Putin, gather off Turkey’s coast — Meduza
Six yachts belonging to Russian billionaires have gathered near the Turkish resort city of Bodrum, the independent Russian investigative outlet Verstka reported. The yacht Victoria, linked to Vladimir...

The US behaving more and more like russia every day. They’re just not bothering to even try to cover it up. The free world is in a hybrid war against what was once their very beacon of hope and freedom
The State Department has just put out a tender, offering funding of up to $3 million to European organizations who want to fight against "Supra-national institutions" - presumably the EU - and governments who seek to regulate the internet and end Western Civilization. www.state.gov/drl-nofo-dev...
Dette er et resultat av villet politikk. Samtidig som Ukraina angriper russiske raffinerier, oljelagre og transport, seiler russiske fiskebåter fritt til havner i Nord-Norge for å fylle drivstoff. Det er på høy tid å stoppe dette tullet. Steng havnene nå.
Politiet bekymret: – Kan føre til lokal drivstoffmangel
Politiet har merket seg en økning i russiske fiskefartøy som anløper Kirkenes for å bunkre drivstoff. I helgen gikk Bunkeroil tom for drivstoff ved sitt kaianlegg i Kirkenes.

Oppi all VM-euforien er det verdt å minne om at dette er Trumps USA.
Just Politico casually supporting russian propaganda. You know, the country that has systematically terrorized Ukrainian civilians for over FOUR YEARS.
Ukrainian armed forces hit multiple targets in Russia last night, damaging an airport in Belgorod and a microchip manufacturer building "electronic warfare and weaponry" for Russia in the Bryansk region.
I’d love western media kindly stop repeating Russian propaganda that justifies the genocide of my people @reuters. I know Reuters would go and say they are ‘just quoting’ Russia, but maybe we shouldn’t ‘just quote’ war criminals justifying their war crimes ,
Things that make russian women ‘nervous wrecks’: waiting in line for gas. Things that don’t make them ‘nervous wrecks’: your country murdering and abducting children.
"Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, what the f*ck is going on?" A Russian woman asks. She's been standing in lines for three days to get fuel - without success. First, it was "Kyiv in three days," now it's "fill your fuel tank in three days".
Just another day of russians being abhorrent human beings. A vile, subhuman ‘culture’ worthy of exactly one thing: to be utterly and completely ripped apart at its seams—so that something that resembles humanity and decency can take its place
A Russian strike destroyed a Ukrainian Red Cross warehouse in Kyiv, destroying more than 320,000 units of humanitarian aid and equipment. The losses include generators, medical equipment, and strategic emergency reserves valued at over UAH 79 million. #Ukraine
Do not look away. Russia is the country where casual discussions of genocide, erasing entire nations, ‘killing everyone’, are seen as perfectly normal and even the moral thing to do. A sick, twisted stain on humanity. Rotten to the core.
Meanwhile in Russia: Vladimir Solovyov and his guests expressed their concerns that Russia is becoming a laughing stock and loudly argued about what they should do with Ukrainians if Russia wins this war. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QE4z...
Bellingcat is a beacon of hope in our time of underfunded journalism, lack of critical thinking, and constant threats to democracy. Please consider joining me in supporting their efforts!
We're launching a funding drive on Bellingcat today. It's a tough funding environment at the moment with global funder cuts & the fear of Trump scaring off donors, so support us here www.bellingcat.com/donate/?utm_... A short video about what your donations will fund www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Vzb...
Russland er landet der man er stolt av å rekruttere 15-åringer til å bygge droner som brukes for å drepe nabolandets 15-åringer. En skamplett på menneskeheten. Ruscismen må knuses slik nazismen ble det. Ren ondskap.
The Alabuga website has also been hacked - this is our response to the recruitment of 15-year-old children to assemble lethal drones. And in Alabuga, they're actually proud of this. We already have lists of everyone involved. Some agreed to help us gain access to the production facility. 3/3
“Watergate pales in comparison to what we’re doing” is quite the thing to imply
JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."
The Republican Party may be close to destroying the United States but thank God our pregnant ten year olds don’t have to see rainbows in their classroom while they’re cleaning their guns
Calling it “techno-fascism” feels radical. It isn’t – it is imprecise, and imprecision is a luxury we cannot afford. What techno-oligarchy is doing to humanity goes beyond what fascism ever attempted. Eight points on a threat we are not yet naming correctly. shekhovtsov.substack.com/p/worse-than...
Worse than Fascism
Eight points on how techno-oligarchy differs from fascism – and why it is more dangerous.

the cars don't drive themselves and we're still nowhere near Mars, but you can't question Elon Musk's ability to deliver screwworms and racial violence
Den norske statsministeren bruker fortsatt X. Er det ikke snart på tide med en ny debatt i Stortinget om dette @mdg.no @arildher.bsky.social? X er en høyreekstrem plattform der eieren manipulerer algoritmene til å spre sine oppfordringer til rasistisk vold. Hvor går grensen for statsministeren?
Elon Musk is unambiguously calling for a violent race war. This is far from unprecedented. The Rwandan Genocide was stoked and enabled by Felicien Kabuga, the wealthy owner of the RTLM radio station that helped coordinate the genocide and used euphemisms like "go to work" to signal attacks.
The government needs to leave X. EVERYONE needs to leave X.
The cowardice of Europe on full display. What a disgrace. How about ‘Russia is a danger to all of Europe and our shared enemy’? For fuck’s sake. Must be hard to walk upright when you lack a spine, Dan
🇷🇴 President of Romania Dan: 💬 "It has become dangerous for Romanian citizens. And when the Russians attack and shell [Ukrainian] cities on the other side of the Danube, they must be sure that they will not injure Romanian citizens," he said.
Sorry to hear about Jeff Bezos's rocket exploding prematurely. A good technique to prevent that from happening is to try thinking about something you find totally unarousing or even repulsive, like giving workers a living wage or paying a fair share of taxes.
OTD in 1948 operation Vesna began in Lithuania. 40,000 people were deported to Siberia and replaced by Russians. Imagine that kind of thing happening today. Imagine selectively opposing it.
OMG. To claim that russians are uniquely/deeply fearful of invasion due to their history is to whitewash russian aggression. When will people realize this? Every old European city has been torched/invaded multiple times. Europe managed to build peace. Ru is attacking its neighbour AS WE SPEAK!
It is insane that person who is funding the world’s white supremacist movement & is daily spewing racism, who killed 100,000’s last year by yanking USAID without warning, is regularly discussed in Corporate Media as an industrialist, without any mention of the white supremacism or mass murder.
Politicians everywhere, take note. You *can* actually spend your time building community, cohesion, bridges, spreading positivity. What a breath of fresh air. This is what the world needs
New York streets belong to New Yorkers, and Soccer Streets are for the kids. We’re turning the block outside your school into a car-free playground and World Cup celebration. Now until June 26, you’ll find Soccer Streets in front of 50 public schools across all five boroughs. Let’s play!
