NAFO,🇵🇱, 🩺⚕️,father, husband. My russophobia is not based on fear.
Perfect example of this is Russia's Matryoshka campaign, pumping out hundreds of fake news reports that get zero traction. One of the very rare occasions on of the posts got traction was when Elon Musk shared it www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...
How Elon Musk boosted false USAID conspiracy theories to shut down global aid
Musk drove fringe viewpoints on USAID into the mainstream on X as the Trump administration halted the humanitarian relief agency’s work.

The question shouldn't just be "what do we do to stop people losing trust in institutions", because that repeats the Lippmannian framing which no longer performs in the new environment, it should also be "how do we ensure they can build functional publics and counterpublics when that does happen?"
So it was the US State Department all along! Maybe Shellenberger should be emailing them about censorship instead of conference participants. #disinfo26 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
EU drops sponsorship of disinformation conference at Trump officials’ request

Yes, the White House sometimes serves as a branch Kremlin press office, which would be humiliating for anyone who had the slightest hint of patriotism or for that matter personal dignity.
Phillips OBrien@phillipspobrien.bsky.social · 5d agoThis proves only two things. The Ukrainian campaign against Russian refineries is causing serious damage. Putin has asked Trump to help him out and the US president obliged.

Where’s all the radicalized BioLab MAGA crazies now? Please come out in the open, or die of hypocrisy in the dark.
Timothy Snyder@timothysnyder.bsky.social · 6d agoOf course when Russia said Ukraine had bioweapons labs what they really meant was that they did. There's a lot we don't know about the current situation. Russia should be bringing in experts from the WHO to clarify and advise. Will they? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
We’re stepping up support for Member States’ counter-drone capabilities. This builds on €250 million announced in 2025 and €169 million made available earlier this year for surveillance drones and related equipment. To strengthen border surveillance and respond to emerging security threats.
Tim Snyder unloads on Trump and his inner circle: They are all greedy cowards. If he encounters Europeans or Ukrainians especially who actually believe in democracy, the rule of law, who care about their country… this is detestable to him.
Thank you Pete Hegseth for getting rid of the weirdos and beardos. by Elon Musk and JD Vance
Well done to the genius that put the Nazi salute in the "K" of "MUSK." From the trailer.
Russians are trying the same failed strategy with regards to Ukraine’s data communications systems But Ukraine learned its lesson: decentralize, decentralize, back up and then back up the back up: Ukraine expands backup systems after Russian strikes on data centers hromadske.ua/en/war/27172...
Ukraine expands backup systems after Russian strikes on data centers
Ukraine is investing more than UAH 518 million ($12.5 million) in backup infrastructure for government information systems following a series of Russian attacks on data centers.

With this disbursement, we are helping safeguard Ukraine’s financial stability today. We’re also building the foundations for its recovery tomorrow. Because Europe stands by Ukraine’s side. And will do so for as long as it takes. link.europa.eu/pdHPyb

Have you ever thought about the question many Ukrainians quietly ask themselves: is it even okay to feel joy while the war goes on? We asked our defenders. Here's what they said 👇🏻
Mongolian authorities seem realistic in their estimates how long fuel deliveries from Russia will be disrupted by Ukrainian drone strikes by saying it could be 2-3 years.
Just as @demiurg.bsky.social explained/revealed/suggested months ago already. Sweden is the second 🇪🇺country after Germany to explicitly declare that war would be fought over russian territory during air strikes campaign.
auonsson@auonsson.bsky.social · last wk.Swedish Air Force advertised its intent to strike deep into Russia in the event of a war. This was stated in an interview in Swedish Aftonbladet a few days ago. Now it has reached Russian language press. www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/Ex...

Europe is stepping up massively on defence. Today, we are moving forward with five major joint projects: drones, air defence, space, maritime security and our Eastern Flank. Five areas that are crucial to European security. And where we need to move fast.

As Russia commits genocide in Ukraine and escalates inside the EU, France and Luxembourg chose to help its economy by delisting two oligarchs. Even 1000 Europeans aren’t worth lifting sanctions on Russia. They did it for two, inviting Russia to kidnap Europeans for leverage
"One thing I see on this train is that Ukrainians choose to keep going. I don’t want to romanticize; the suffering and the grief are under the eyes, and in the public memorials, and everywhere. Every attack by the enemy hurts, as does every betrayal by an ally." snyder.substack.com/p/a-meditati...
