We could spend all day explaining that a majority of the European parliament voted against chat control multiple times and that it was only passed because of a dirty procedural trick by Ursula's party, backed by national governments, but it will be mostly in vain. "The EU decided to read our private messages" is all that the ordinary European citizen will know.
And frankly, you can't blame them. Instead, we should blame the politicians who fanatically pushed through a highly controversial, widely unpopular proposal that had been rejected in a democratic vote multiple times in a row.
The EU will survive. It isn't going anywhere. But people are understandably furious right now and it has no use trying to go against this storm by once again acting like some kind volunteer PR-department for Brussels. They need to do their own damage control. This wasn't some kind of honest mistake, but a sly, calculated political maneuvre. So I say let people rage against "the EU" for a bit. That is what the politicians responsible for this mess deserve.
Negotiating with the Iranian regime is like trying to reason with a schizophrenic, delusional terrorist who also happens to have dissociative identity disorder … and is on a suicidal, messianic mission.

The second half of this podcast does a very good job of explaining the long story of Islamic apocalypticism and medieval prophecies. Worth a listen.
📡 You’ve probably seen this story making the rounds online: russian soldiers are trying to activate their Starlink terminals by finding Ukrainian citizens willing, for 30 shekels, to register them in their own name.
No surprise there: the enemy’s abrupt switch from reliable “capitalist” connectivity to domestic low-tech workarounds has seriously degraded their communications – disrupting coordination and putting a dent in assaults and drone activity across the frontlines.
💡Knowing how desperately russians will hunt for any way to bring Elon’s terminal back online –and the risks resumed comms creates for the Ukrainian defenders – we, together with InformNapalm and MILITANT, decided to help. We did so by creating a network of channels and bots that appeared to offer activation services for a fee.
In one week, we received:
📌 2,420 submissions with enemy Starlink details and precise geolocations;
📌 31 messages from would-be collaborators eager to act as registered holder for activation;
📌 $6,000 in “donations” from russian troops who were frantically looking for a fix to their comms problem.
Bottom line:
📌 Information on enemy terminals was passed to Serhiy Sternenko so they can be permanently neutralized;
📌 Data on would-be collaborators is already being processed by the competent Ukrainian authorities;
📌 The shekels we “farmed” off the enemy will cover several urgent fundraisers for Ukraine’s Defense Forces.
Antisemitism is a tool of America's geopolitical
adversaries.
The United States needs to recognize that antisemitism is not just a prejudice, but also a national security threat.

@Schizointel@krlntpd It's my understanding that you would need to provide your social media profiles when applying for ESTA. At a minimum you'd apply for ESTA 2 days prior to travel. Plenty of time to analyze it and flag passengers when arriving at the airport.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist.
The collapse of trust in science is going to go down in history as one of the most sad, bizarre, and destructive social contagions of modern times.
We cured diseases, fed billions, and powered nations - and people ran toward conspiracies instead.
In this critical moment donations have completely stopped, and the fundraiser to help Ukraine with engineering equipment is stuck at $100,500/$120,000.
I'm asking you to support by reposting, hitting like, donating and commenting
While so-called USA diplomats work on partitioning Ukraine the war doesn't stop. and our defenders need your help.
Ukraine is making russia pay for every kilometer they move. It's the battlefield where the outcome of the war is decided. Negotiations and diplomacy mean nothing if we are losing on the battlefield
this video is an everyday work of the 92nd brigade 1st assault battalion. They are making russia pay, for every step while countries like Belgium take russian bribes and blood money.

For those who oppose the Russian invasion and want to see Ukraine prevail as a sovereign & democratic country, it is clear that Witkoff fully favors the Russians. He cannot be trusted to lead these negotiations. Would a Russian paid agent do less than he? He should be fired.
President Trump’s plan to force Ukraine to give up more territory, to cut its Army by more than half, to never join NATO nor let foreign troops in its territory is an abomination. Freedom loving Americans must tell the President that we reject the worst appeasement seen since 1938. The Russians said they respected Ukraines sovereignty and boundaries in 1994. What makes President Trump think we can now trust Putin? This agreement weakens Ukraine and leaves them vulnerable to new Russian invasions in the years to come.
