Half knowledge is worse than ignorance. Seeking that second half.
Luckier than most - I live in Slovenia. European, green, hopeful.

I wanted to provide a European perspective on the words vomited by a racist fascist masquerading as the US Secretary of War standing by the graves of the fallen in Normandy.

The 10,000 bodies of those that never made it home fighting fascism in Europe who lay where he spoke, did NOT die for what America has become under this regime.

He spat on their graves to tell Europe to hate ‘the other’. WE WILL NOT, but we will celebrate in the streets when the regime he represents falls, be assured of that.

To those brave Americans who gave their lives that we may be spared the tyranny of Nazi Germany, we salute you and we WILL NOT fail you and will NEVER FORGET.

“Oh my God - he broke it! He stepped on it… our president is a f*cking baby— remember when Trump reporters would say Hillary is a woman and too emotional to be president?”

@hasanthehun notices Trump trampled the mic he took off as he threw a tantrum and left

Please listen to Zia Yusuf here.
Those caring eyes.
That sympathy.
That empathy.❤️‍🩹
He & Reform have done exactly what The Nowak Family wanted: instigated riots, violence, division & social unrest.

…Erm that is what The Nowak Family wanted I presume?

Zelenskyy: We've got messages that they are ready for meeting only if Ukraine will do what they decided in Anchorage. With all respect to the President of the United States, but you can't cut our country. You can't make decisions without us, about us. It's unacceptable and it will not bring peace.

When the illusion finally shatters, what’s left isn’t just disappointment,it’s total embarrassment.
The man you invested your faith in isn’t a savior at all, just an empty act stitched together with arrogance, noise, and relentless self-promotion.
All that confidence, all those grand promises, all the swagger,it collapses into something painfully small the moment it’s tested against reality.

There’s no hidden genius, no bold disruptor underneath it all.
Just a loud, impulsive figure flailing through responsibilities he clearly wasn’t equipped to handle, drowning incompetence in a flood of bluster.

In the end, what once looked like strength turns out to be nothing more than cheap theatrics.
Not leadership,just a gaudy performance.

A caricature.
A spectacle.

And the real sting isn’t that it was absurd,it’s realizing how long it took to admit you were taken in by all his bullshit....

[Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari @RepYassAnsari]

Trump is too emotional to be president. Also, per the interview he ran away from this morning, he’s clearly still planning on his $1.8 billion slush fund for January 6 insurrectionists. Republicans need to grow a spine and stop enabling this disgusting corruption.

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

Gaza is taking its last breaths, and the situation we have reached is extremely dangerous.

Temperatures are rising to suffocating levels, and the tents where hundreds of thousands live have turned into ovens made of fabric and plastic. There is no electricity, no air conditioning, no fans, no cold water. People try to sleep, but heat, hunger, and fear make sleep seem like an impossible dream.

Clean water is scarce, cleaning supplies are almost nonexistent, and essential medicines are unavailable. Skin diseases are spreading in a terrifying way among children and adults, while garbage piles up and sewage mixes with displacement areas, spreading even more suffering.

Long lines form for food, yet many return empty handed. Aid is decreasing, and most relief centers have stopped or are no longer able to meet even the minimum needs.

At night, rats, insects, snakes, and scorpions crawl into the tents, while during the day people face unbearable heat and endless hunger. There is no safety, no privacy, and nowhere to go. Meanwhile, killings and destruction continue daily, while Gaza’s space shrinks day by day, forcing people into smaller and more overcrowded areas.

This is not life. This is not displacement. This is a complete collapse of everything that allows human beings to live with dignity.

What more is the world waiting for? How many children must go hungry? How many patients must die before the world acts? Do not stay silent. Speak about Gaza. Share what is happening.

To surmise, Irish people hate Israel enough to be willing to boycott - even if it jeopardises billions in FDI and the operation multinationals (such as Intel) in Ireland.

HOWEVER, Ireland does not support Ukraine enough or loathe Putin enough to stop supplying the Russian war machine with alumina exports.

YET, we delude ourselves into thinking our foreign policy is based on some warped sense of morality.

Nations who have the luxury of not having had to defend themselves from external threats, and who have been able to solely chase economic gain, should be aware of their privilege and not be so quick to lecture others.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Incredible Albanian people.

[╰┈➤ 🇮🇪 Brònzy 🇮🇪 @BronzyGuevara]

Albania has officially drawn the
line, Sazan 'lsland is being cleared. In an stunning turn of events, Albanian authorities have
launched an active enforcement operation to kick
out foreign developers and private security
personnel occupying Sazan Island. The decisive
action marks a total collapse of the controversial €1.4 billion luxury real estate deal that aimed to turn the protected national marine reserve and
former military base into an exclusive private playground for global elites,
The eviction comes after four consecutive weeks of historic
hundred-thousand-strong protests that completely
shut down the capital city of Tirana, refusing to allow their native coastlines and ecologically sensitive wetlands to be privatized by foreign
investors, the Albanian public unified under a
single, unyielding demand: "Albania is not for sale, the courts faced with a historic political crisis, mounting
domestic fury, and a widening anti-corruption
investigation by special prosecutors (SPAK), the
government was forced to pivot, by deploying state forces to reclaim Sazan lsland, Albania has
sent a clear message to international billionaires
and foreign developers trying to bypass environmental protection laws, This historic victory for citizen-led activism proves that the collective voice of a nation can successfully overpower backroom corporate deals and protect sovereign land.
The people spoke, and the
government had to listen.

MAGA pedophile pig, Theodore Middendorf, was sentenced to 19 years in prison for raping a 7 yr old girl. Before he entered prison to serve his time, he went to the Capitol & participated in January 6 insurrection. On January 20, 2025, Trump called him a “patriot”
& pardoned him.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

ZELENSKYY: Ukrainian attacks on St. Petersburg and Moscow region, on military and energy targets, are our response to Russian attacks on our energy sector.

This is also our answer: we will not just silently die — we will respond, and we will grow stronger each day, day by day.

[Thomas Fazi @battleforeurope]

Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

I’m not comparing him to Hitler, but I want to remind people of something.

When the generals told Hitler there wouldn’t be a thousand-year Reich, but he didn’t accept defeat gracefully.

He told them to flood the coal mines and bring down the electrical grid around Berlin.

His rationale was: If I can’t have it, nobody gets it.

That’s Donald Trump’s psychology with the Republican Party.

He doesn’t quietly want them to win after he’s gone.

His whole identity is built on the narrative that you were nothing before I got here and you’ll be nothing when I leave.

He’s not going to campaign for his successor. It’s not in his personality. It never will be.

Watch what happens.
