Some don't have to wait until 3 November. It comes down to money or lives? And one of the biggest investors in Musk's Space X is rightly "disgusted" at events in Ukraine over the past week. Ross Gerber tells CNN's Jim Sciutto it's given everyone a reason to dump Starlink:

Ideally using a paper ballot where voting machines are available.

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o... Surprise: Putler finding peace proposal not acceptable. Who would have thought this might happen?

Ukraine war briefing: New peace proposals lack ‘substance’, says Kremlin after Witkoff-Putin meeting in Russia

US envoy Witkoff presented Putin with proposals drafted by Zelenskyy and European leaders in Oslo earlier this week. What we know on day 1,702

Ich bin 17. Und die AfD im Kreistag Saalekreis um Hans-Thomas Tillschneider führt mich namentlich in einem Antrag an, mit dem sie unserer Partnerschaft für Demokratie „Weltoffener Saalekreis“ die Gelder streichen will. Als einzige Person. So sieht der Angriff auf die Zivilgesellschaft aus.

🇺🇸👀 Hillary Clinton: I continue to believe that Putin has things on Trump. I continue to believe that he is holding photos, videos, whatever it might be. When we finally see all the Epstein files, I think even the people who supported Trump are going to be shocked by what it shows about Trump.

TENNESSEE VOTERS: Check your ballots carefully. Local news outlets are reporting complaints from early voters who say voting machines displayed candidates they did not intend to select.

Looks like Tennessee fixing voting machines to revert to Marsha Blackurn quoting numerous sources.

North Carolina’s Democratic governor warns that the absentee ballot rejection rate is twice as high as in 2022 thanks to last-minute changes by Republicans. He recommends voting in person if you can (early voting is even better!) wcti12.com/news/local/g...

The transaction couldn’t be more transparent. A billionaire needs a pardon. His family writes a $50 million check to Trump’s lawyer, and the pardon arrives. This is who Trump is really working for. Meanwhile, Americans struggle to get by while he and those around him line their pockets.

Nope I have read the same about Tennesse and Utah today. Free and fair elections, my ass

«Bremens Bürgermeister Andreas Bovenschulte (SPD) kritisiert den Umgang von CDU und CSU mit der Linkspartei scharf. Er rufe die Union auf, aus ihrem "völlig irrationalen und unverantwortlichen Hysteriemodus" auszusteigen, sagte der SPD-Politiker dem "Tagesspiegel".» www.foerde.news/news/bovensc...

Und der deutsche @bundestag.de und die Bundesregierung finden das absolut in Ordnung. Die hassen wirklich unser Land und seine Bevölkerung, vor allem die Jungen, denn die werden es ausbaden müssen

Global warming is set to cross 1.5°C, pushing climate risks and impacts to increasingly dangerous heights, a new UNEP report warns.   Predicted impacts include extreme weather and threats to human health and economies.

Die Politik schweigt keineswegs. Die @cducsu.de unter Führung von @bundeswirtschaftsministerium.de heizt das Klima noch ordentlich an. Mehr Öl, mehr Gas, weniger Erneuerbare durch Vernichtung ganzer Industriezweige. Diese ganzen alten Säcke werden lange Tot sein, wenn die Katastrophe zuschlägt

Ustinoff Anders@ustinoff.eurosky.social · 2d ago

Das Schweigen der Politik ist unfassbar.

Pure terrorism!

Jay in Kyiv@jayinkyiv.bsky.social · 3d ago

With Trump's removal of Starlink, Russians are now hunting cars full of people in Kyiv, using jet drones for which Ukraine's interceptors no longer function to stop. Three people murdered an hour ago in southern Kyiv, with six others injured, three of which are children.

And all this Russian winning without a single shot. Putin played the long game and Americans are simply to gullible to get it, and that is putting it nicely. Ten years ago @hillaryclinton.bsky.social warned you, but you could not listen to and vote for a smart educated woman.

This is a must-read! It's the most important analysis of just how much Trump is damaging the US in order to help Vladimir Putin that I've ever read. Please read it and share it. We must all understand what Rothkopf is telling is!

“Trump and Putin have teamed up to murder Ukrainians” is a better headline. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Delays in approving transfers from partner countries coincide with a worsening rupture between President Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky.

NEU: Monatelang erklärte die Union, das Informationsfreiheitsgesetz müsse aus Sicherheitsgründen eingeschränkt werden. Sie weigerte sich aber, Belege zu liefern. Wir verklagten also das Innenministerium, um eine Auskunft zu erzwingen. Ergebnis: Es gibt einfach keine. fragdenstaat.de/artikel/klag...

Und wieder verstößt @bundestag.de unter Führung des Innenministers gegen geltendes Recht. Mit GDPR kann dies nicht kompatible sein. Im Interesse der Bevölkerung ist es auf jeden Fall gar nicht, dafür mit dem total Überwachungsstaat den Dobrindt schon lange möchte kompatibel

Die USA könnten in Deutschland bald auch sensible Daten zu #Migranten oder #Antifas abfragen. Dieser neue Polizeivertrag namens #EBSP wird geheim verhandelt, weder BMI noch AA geben Auskunft. Sogar Abgeordnete beißen auf Granit: www.nd-aktuell.de/artikel/1203...

@zdfde.bsky.social wenn man ihn ignoriert, geht der Klimawandel immer noch nicht weg. Hitzewellen, Trockenheit und andere Auswirkungen des Kliamwandels werden uns weiterhin täglich beschäftigen. Da ist es unehrlich die Ursache nicht beim Namen zu benennen.

WDR stellt @klima.neutral ein. Klima-Medium “Flip” muss aufhören. Weltweit immer weniger Artikel zum Klimawandel. Auch ARD und ZDF haben zuletzt weniger berichtet. Und im Sommerinterview wurde Merz nicht ein einziges Mal auf die Klimakrise angesprochen. Neuer Text bei @otternewsorg.bsky.social 🦦❤️

Friedliche Demonstrationen wurden zunehmend gewalttätig, weil sich von Putin bezahlte Gewalttäter unters Volk gemischt haben? Klingt plausibler als die Thesen von Dobrindt.

Surprised anyone? "French police and intelligence sources believe that the riots in France were also triggered, fuelled, accelerated or exploited by influencers and bloggers supported by Iran, Algeria and Russia."

The WaPo has its grievous problems. But some reporting can still be superb. Including this jaw-dropper about plutocrats (by name and corp) funding demolition of East Wing and ludicrous "ball room." www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio... NB: Apple tied for $25m lead, w Adelson, Nvidia, + Dish.
