Raphaël Glucksmann, who is standing in the Socialist Party’s 2027 presidential election primary, has pledged to protect the skies over Kyiv and Lviv.

🇳🇴🇺🇦 Zelensky: We paid tribute to King Harald V. Ukraine will always be grateful to Norway for its help. This is support not only for the government, but also for the royal family and Norwegian people. I remember with gratitude our warm meeting with His Majesty and his special attention to Ukraine.

I keep seeing headlines today that say Oil Prices Soar, so I updated my meme.

Zelensky walking on foot up Karl Johans gate, surrounded and physically protected by Europe's leaders, at King Harald V's funeral. Powerful and symbolic 🇺🇦🇳🇴

Zelensky til fots opp Karl Johans gate, omkranset og fysisk beskyttet av Europas ledere. Mektig og symbolsk 🇺🇦🇳🇴

While this is as depressing as expected, a couple things to keep in mind: - Saxony-Anhalt is a small Bundesland (population ~2 million) - building a regional government will likely be difficult - it doesn’t directly affect Germany’s Ukraine or Russia policy - this is why Germany is a federal state

Pro-Russia, Nazi linked, Musk endorsed right extremists won the Saxony-Anhalt election short of a majority. At least two candidates under investigation for Nazi links. AfD backs ending Russian sanctions, ending aid to Ukraine, leaving the EU, expelling migrants, and restoring Nord Stream gas.

All respect to President Zelenskyy who has the fortitude to sit across the table from russian operatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and not vomit.

"You performed even better today than the Patriot systems for our citizens who are in the capital. Thank you, come more often. And our people will have a chance to live a little." — Zelensky to Trump's envoys

I didn’t know that engaging in racism, bigotry, and intolerance was now called “raising alarm”. The news sanitizes overt racism and bigotry, thus normalizing it, excusing it, and therefore justifying it. It’s not “rhetoric”—it’s racism. But the news is too cowardly to call it out.

🇩🇪 FM Wadephul: "Russian Consulate General in Bonn will be closed on September 18. The lease for Russian House in Berlin will be terminated. We're strengthening our security, we're tightening entry controls for Russian nationals and increasing pressure on Russia’s shadow fleet."

Today's humiliation by the US government in refusing to sanction China over its deep business dealings with Iran proves one golden rule. The Trump administration will only take action to hurt democratic allies, never dictatorships/authoritarians.

How do you know that Ukraine is winning? Kobakhidze records congratulations on Ukraine's Independence Day 🤡

Russia is trying to destroy us and is bombing Ukrainians relentlessly. This is absolutely not the moment to create a domestic political split, turn the country against itself and give Russia exactly the kind of internal chaos it would love to exploit.

🇺🇦🔝🤩

Fedorov is – somewhat predictably – experiencing a Musk-like fall from grace after having flown too close to the sun and thought he was The Special Boy. He wasn't. He was just another brilliant tech-bro who didn't quite understand how the wider world works and that got angry when facing resistance.

Erin Brockovich: "If Data Centers are so great, why are they being built in secret?"

This is the first time I suggest mass reporting someone, but to use someones death like this is beyond despicable. Hayden Panettiere was a staunch Ukraine supporter, ever since Maidan. I hope those of you who are as appaled as I, join me in reporting this. #NAFO

www.aftenposten.no/meninger/kro... «Tangen var ikke opptatt av Ukraina, frihet, USAs angrep på vesten eller russisk hybridkrig mot oss. Det handlet om tre ting: penger, penger, penger. Tangen snakket bare om hvordan Norge kan sikre seg enda mer penger. Ikke hva de skal brukes til.»

Hvem vil forsvare Norge hvis Norge fortsetter å oppføre seg som en øy i verden?

Germany’s Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW) has handed over four Mitsubishi pickup trucks as well as a Mercedes-Benz Unimog fire fighting vehicle worth around €500,000 to the Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Administration.

Of course ICE has the money to buy these gloves after foot dragging on body cameras for years. Leave it to an American to invent torture gloves. And leave it to the US government to immediately want them.

Russian tourists camping near property belonging to a relative of Saab CEO Micael Johansson were confronted by his security guards. Johansson’s work in military production necessitates personal protection. The couple say they are anti-war protesters living in Spain. www.svt.se/nyheter/loka...

- Finland (pop. 3.6 million) was accused of planning to attack the Soviet Union (pop. 180 million) at any time - but (of course) with aid from Great Britain and France (NOT Germany, which was a Soviet ally at the time - the Soviet radio admonished the Allies for not making peace with Hitler)

I just want to make your morning a little bit better ☕🌄

NATO nations shouldn't intercept Russian missiles and drones in Ukrainian airspace because they might end up in a NATO nation. We should intercept Russian missiles in Ukrainian skies to help save Ukrainians from Russian genocide.

Aha! So this is the pupose of the #BlackHairedAsianLady bot #network: U.S. midterm election medling. @nnlnschlmp.bsky.social is yet another bot account in that network and @safety.bsky.app, you REALLY got to get your shit together on this. Everyone, please report and block and stay vigilant.

Obvious #bot is obvious, @yomanatsu.bsky.social. Dear @safety.bsky.app, how is it that I can spot these fake accounts with a two second glance and you haven't been able to block them even after following 13.4k users? How much more obvious must this #BlackHairedAsianLady #network be to be caught?

Donald Trump stands out historically in one way. He has demilitarized the US military more quickly than any other political leader in US history. A full blown pacifist would have struggled to throw away weapons faster than he has.

🇷🇺 Russian actor Vadim Dzyuba recorded a poem for Putin against the backdrop of the Main Cathedral of the Russian Ministry of Defense. We might not be hearing from Dzyuba for a while…

The ICC chief prosecutor has been sanctioned by the Trump administration and also debanked. Worth listening to in full because this is being done in our names on behalf of Israeli war criminals:
