This video needs to go viral.

It is so true in every way. Trump is controlled by Vladimir Putin. He clearly puts Russia before America. @ProjectLincoln

Erinomainen kirjoitus @MariLeppane

Tämä kannattaa lukea.

BREAKING: Protesters in Hungary have flooded the streets in open defiance of Viktor Orbán and his ally Vladimir Putin demanding an end to creeping authoritarianism.

Mainstream media is barely touching it. Let’s make sure the world sees it.

TAPPER: When Trump threatened to kill the entire Iranian civilization, did that bother you as a diplomat?

MARK RUTTE: I'm not commenting. What I want you to know is I support the president

[Maine @TheMaineWonk]

Weaken NATO.
Give Iran Hormuz.
Bailout Russia.
Empower China.

It’s the weakest and most Anti-American foreign policy in the history of the Republic.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something.

For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

I can’t watch this. It causes me physical pain.

[Governor Newsom Press Office (parody) @AwesomeNewsom]

NATO IS NEVER THERE WHEN WE NEED THEM. TRUMP WANTED TO STEAL GREENLAND, DID NATO HELP? NO! TRUMP WANTED TO WIPE OUT AN ENTIRE CIVILIZATION, DID NATO HELP? NO! TRUMP DECLARED WAR ON BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, DID NATO HELP? NO!

IF NATO DOESN'T PAY ITS SHARE FOR THE BALLROOM, IT'S OVER.

Compulsory reading.

Ironically, Ehud Olmert has become the most prominent Israeli voice focusing on Israel's war crimes in the West Bank.

He is emphatically and unequivocally calling for the intervention of the international community, including that of the ICC.

[MFA Finland 🇫🇮 @Ulkoministerio]

Finland firmly opposes the death penalty in all circumstances. Israel’s approval of the Death Penalty Bill marks a troubling reversal of its past position — one that has set an important example in the region. We urge Israel to uphold its commitments under international law.

Tämä video saa voimaan pahoin. Tällä hetkellä tutkin polttoaseiden vaikutusta siviiliväestöön ja voin taata, aineisto on kamalaa. Tämä on nyt jo toinen mahdollinen tapaus valkoisen fosforin käytöstä Libanonista. Tietoa polttoaseista https://t.co/dnJLsW2uD0

[Etan Nechin @Etanetan23]

I am sure there is already a name for a legal system where punishment changes based on race or ethnicity rather than the crime.

It feels familiar. I just can’t recall it right now

As of today, Israel is barring 37 humanitarian organizations from entering the Gaza Strip. This is the latest in a long series of obstacles and restrictions imposed on the delivery of aid to Gaza, in violation of Israel’s commitments under the so-called “ceasefire” agreement. It is fully consistent with Israel’s policy of worsening the inhumane conditions in Gaza by deliberately harming a civilian population that remains under blockade and attack.

Despite the declared “ceasefire,” Israel continues to kill Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Since the beginning of the “ceasefire”, 405 people have been killed and 1,114 injured by Israeli fire. Due to Israeli restrictions, as of 16 December, only 57% of the 556 aid missions planned by the UN and its partners were carried out, including the delivery of vital aid and equipment, medical evacuations, and infrastructure repairs.

Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza did not end with the “ceasefire” declaration. Blocking humanitarian aid, alongside ongoing airstrikes and shootings, is a direct continuation of the assault on Gaza’s population.

The international community must ensure the free, immediate and continuous entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, end its policy of impunity toward Israel and take concrete action to hold Israeli decision-makers accountable for the genocide.

Following a prolonged period of systematic settler attacks, including damaging property, stealing crops and preventing access to the mosque, the last four families of the Palestinian community of Khirbet Yanoun, in the Nablus district, have been forced to leave their homes today. This follows explicit threats by settlers and an ultimatum ordering the families to permanently leave the area.

Khirbet Yanoun is the 45th Palestinian community to be forcibly displaced since October 2023, as a result of ongoing settler violence carried out with the backing of the Israeli military and state authorities. This is not an isolated incident, but part of a broader and ongoing policy of expulsion and ethnic cleansing that Israel is advancing in the West Bank.

Almost like affordable healthcare, free education and paid leave matter.

[Jason Smith - 上官杰文 @ShangguanJiewen]

Politicians and others in Finland have taken to making rac!st faces to mock Asians.

Sarah Dzafce Miss Finland 2025, made the hateful gesture, as a result, she was stripped of her Miss Finland crown.

Several Finnish politicians posted or shared similar photos including Juho Eerola, MP for the Finns Party.

As an American, I support boycotting Finish products.

Stop Asian Hate!

"Orpo: EU:n tarkkailuluokalle joutuminen on harmittavaa, mutta ei dramaattista"

Tässä näette velkapopulismin todelliset kasvot. Tarkkailuluokalle joutumisella peloteltiin kansalaisia mutta eipä se mitään dramaattista olekaan. Korkeintaan harmillista.

[Sanna Marin @MarinSanna]

The ”peace plan” for Ukraine is a chatastrophy not only for Ukraine and it’s citizens but for all of democratic world. If we repeat the mistakes from the past such as showing weakness and ignorance in 2014 when Russia annaxed Crimea, we will find only more aggression and conflicts ahead of us. The authoritarian mindset understands only strenght and deterrence.

[Heikki Poroila @HeikkiPoroila]

Gazassa on muka "tulitauko", mutta palestiinalaiset lapset hytisevät talvisateiden täyttämissä teltoissa, kun ISRAEL estää humanitaarisen avun tehokkaan jakelun. ISRAEL ei ole perääntynyt kansanmurhan tavoitteesta milliäkään. Kylmään tappaminen vain laajentaa valikoimaa.
