The Norwegian Consumer Council made a video about enshittification and got 2.5M views and 168K likes on IG. (If the style feels familiar, it was created by NewsLab, the same advertising agency that made the brilliant Visit Oslo video from a few years back.)

There can be no more doubt that this mentally ill man never intends to leave the White House. He has set up troops all over the city. He’s got an 8-story underground bunker and a Reich Chancellery on top,

Now he wants a sniper’s nest to protect him from his own people.

I will assert again with high confidence that we are seeing the symptoms of the most dangerous possible combination of psychopathologies and neurodegenerative disorders.

Specifically, his lifelong malignant narcissism has gone full blown messianic. His constant failures are causing him to lash out in grandiose delusions to fix his ego injuries. He’s creating an alternate reality around himself. This is actual psychosis.

On top of this, his cognitive decline is obvious to anyone. The symptoms all perfectly match frontotemporal dementia, which include disinhibition, lack of judgement, and inappropriate behavior.

This disease destroys the salience network in the brain. He has no idea what matters anymore. This makes his proximity to the nuclear codes existentially dangerous.

He must be forced out. Otherwise, the catastrophes he will bring are guaranteed. It is the mathematics of his disorders.

❗️Poté, co jsme při skrytém natáčení demaskovali ruské propagandisty pracující pro sankcionovaný Rybar, zadržela je česká policie.
❗️Jejich šéf napojený přímo na ředitele ruské zahraniční rozvědky SVR si nám postěžoval, že vyšetřovatelé dvojici vyslýchali devět hodin.
❗️Policie následně propagandistům přikázala, aby do 3 dnů opustili Česko.
❗️Z EU nicméně nezmizeli. Jak jsme zjistili, Rus Vitaliy Chashchukhin totiž žije v Německu, kde má trvalý pobyt.
❗️Ač tam pracuje pro sankcionovaná ruská média a natáčí pro ruské publikum reportáže o tom, jak je Německo v rozkladu. Práce pro sankcionované entity je přitom dle expertů v EU nelegální.
❗️Česko o činnosti Chashchukhina informovalo Německo. Zda a jak tamní úřady zareagují, ovšem nechtěly komentovat.

This is truly a great man. He has invested more in Ukraine than 185 countries combined.

Meet Howard Buffett, Warren Buffett’s middle son. He is 71 years old. He dropped out of college three times. He drinks Dr Pepper and looks for a McDonald’s wherever he travels.

Since the beginning of the war, his foundation has become the largest private donor to Ukraine: $1.4 billion.

Over four years, he has personally visited Ukraine 27 times.

In April 2022, he saw burned-out agricultural machinery and called the president of John Deere:

“How many combines are available in Europe?”

“Fifteen. All of them were supposed to go to Russia.”

“I’ll take them all.”

Then came all the available New Holland equipment in Europe. Altogether, more than 100 tractors and combines were provided to Ukrainian farmers.

He even tested demining equipment himself - on his own farm in Illinois, detonating explosives beneath rollers. When a Ukrainian deputy minister expressed doubts, Buffett told him:

“Stop counting my tractors. If necessary, I’ll blow up a thousand of them.”

Andriy Stavnitser initially asked him for $1 million for Superhumans. Buffett asked how much was needed to build the entire center.

“$14 million.”

“Okay. And what do you expect in return?”

“Nothing. Build it.”

Today, his support for Superhumans has reached $77 million, and the center has treated more than 1,700 patients.

But his largest area of spending is neither agricultural machinery nor prosthetics.

It is food: 642 million meals.

And that is only part of it:
* 344,000 windows replaced after Russian attacks;
* 9 bridges, 4 power plants, 2,500 generators, and 18 DNA laboratories;
* Much of Bucha rebuilt with his funding.

“I already have more friends in Ukraine than I do at home,” he says.

He celebrates birthdays in Ukraine, comes for Christmas, and even has a Ukrainian godson.

Friends, this is truly a great man - someone who understands that he cannot take all his money with him when he leaves this world.

I simply want to thank him and wish him well.

Whatever else one may say, this is real help from a person who had no personal obligation to Ukraine.

He simply chose to help.

❗️Chytili jsme v Praze do pasti propagandisty ruského centra Rybar, které šíří putinovské lži mezi 1,5 milionu odběratelů a USA na jeho spolupracovníly vypsaly odměnu až 10 milionů dolarů za zasahování do voleb.
❗️Demaskovaným lidem vyslaným do Česka teď může za porušení sankcí hrozit až 8 let vězení.
❗️Jde přitom o ruské občany, kteří dlouhodobě žijí v EU, kde vystupují jako novináři.
❗️Odkryli jsme i jméno jejich nadřízeného. Boris Dvorkin je napojený na ředitele Putinovy zahraniční rozvědky SVR. V Moskvě ale vystupuje jako tvůrce historických dokumentů.
❗️V Česku ale Dvorkikovi lidé sbíraly materiály pro Putinovu propagandistickou mašinérii o válce.
❗️Dorazili udělat rozhovory například s europoslancem za SPD Ivanem Davidem, nebo exdiplomatem Petrem Drulákem, který o víkendu v Praze uspořádal konferenci se sankcionovaným ideologem Putina. Kontakt se sankcionovaným Rybarem oba odmítli komentovat.

France and Ukraine fed Trump false intelligence to test whether he would leak it to Putin—and he did.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

It is not humiliating for him, since he has no sense of dignity, but it is humiliating for the rest of us that the president of the United States serves as a subordinate press officer of the Kremlin, saying things that are not only false and cruel but which only Russians could have instructed him to say, since there is no way he could have thought of them himself, and since they depend on knowledge that he does not have.

[Dárek pro Putina @DarPutinovi]

Rusko chystá útoky na země podporující Ukrajinu, oznámil polský premiér. O tom, že situace je velmi napjatá svědčí i jeho dnešní projev k 87. výročí napadení Polska Sovětským Svazem. Mimochodem, ta řeč je vážná a sebevědomá. A skvělá. Trochu jsem ji zkrátil a otitulkoval.⬇️

Donald trump said Kamala Harris would raise gas prices by 25% so thank God you avoided that nightmare. Today gas prices are only up by 62%.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Garcia: So, to be clear, we have a president that is $2 billion richer just from this last year. We have a son whose wedding is being paid for by rich Russians and oligarchs that have connections to Putin. We have Jared Kushner, who got $2 billion for his investment firm from the Saudis while also doing diplomacy in the Middle East.

We have the Kushners who are trying to buy private islands and selling all sorts of merchandise that’s being promoted, oftentimes through government resources. We also have, of course, this insane amount of stock trading that the president himself is doing to enrich himself and his family.

And, of course, the sons sitting on boards of private companies that are then getting contracts from the federal government. The amount of corruption is unprecedented. And not only are they lining their pockets, they’re stealing the wealth of hardworking Americans, they’re stealing the hard-earned labor and wealth of working-class people, and then funneling that money to themselves and to the rich donors and large corporations and CEOs across this country.

As they get richer, costs go up for the American people. And we know that Republicans in the House and in the Senate are complicit by not calling out this corruption.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Last night, Donald Trump, our pathological liar-in-chief, said:

“Every single promise I made to you as a candidate, I’ve delivered on. I’ve delivered on everything.”

Really?

Well, let’s go down the list.

Since becoming president again, Trump promised:

✅ $5,000 DOGE dividend checks. A lie.
✅ $2,000 tariff dividend checks. A lie.
✅ $1,000+ checks by repealing ACA subsidies. A lie.
✅ A 10% cap on credit card interest rates. A lie.
✅ “The lowest drug prices in the world.” A lie.
✅ $2 a gallon gas. A lie.
✅ An end to inflation “starting on Day One.” A lie.
✅ An end to “endless wars.” A lie.

And now, after all of those lies, Trump wants you to believe that he will give every American adult a $5,000 check - but only if the Republicans win the midterms.

No. I don’t think so. The Trump Administration is not about helping working families. It’s about giving a trillion dollars in tax breaks to the 1% and throwing 15 million Americans off the health care they have.

Trump offers a bribe of $5,000 in exchange for votes, the bribe is promoted as a dividend and would cost $1.2 trillion dollars. This is a felony under 18 U.S.C. § 597, bribing someone to vote a certain way is a federal crime punishable by prison.

Investigativní centrum Correctiv odhalilo, že v řadách krajně pravicové AfD působí desítky bývalých kmenových zaměstnanců komunistické tajné policie.

Podle archivních dokumentů bylo identifikováno minimálně 34 bývalých plnoúvazkových pracovníků Ministerstva pro státní bezpečnost (MfS/Stasi), kteří v AfD působí jako členové, lokální funkcionáři či volební kandidáti.

Vedle toho v partaji figuruje neznámý počet někdejších neoficiálních spolupracovníků a informátorů.

Nejde pouze o řadové členy, ale i o zemské poslance. Například poslanec v Sasku-Anhaltsku Frank-Ronald Bischoff sloužil dvanáct let jako tajný kmenový důstojník Stasi.

Braniborští zákonodárci Peter Drenske a Falk Janke zase odsloužili vojenskou službu ve strážním pluku Stasi Feliks Dzierzynski.

AfD se na veřejnosti stylizuje do role pokračovatelů protikomunistického odporu z roku 1989 a demokratické instituce běžně nálepkuje jako novou totalitu.

Tolerance bývalých aparátčíků Stasi a otevřeně proruská rétorika strany proto představují zjevný politický paradox.
