I've been talking to Dave Carlson for ten years. So glad to finally tell the story of his long journey home from war. https://t.co/v4hAvyij76

“How will the American people find out what is being done at the Pentagon in their name, with their hard-earned tax dollars, and more importantly, the decisions that may put their sons and daughters in harm's way?”

A court in S Petersburg, Russia, banned this song for “inciting hatred.” Called Swan Lake Cooperation, it recalls the time right before the collapse of USSR when Soviet dictators died like flies, with state TV broadcasting the Swan Lake ballet 24/7 before announcing the deaths

NEW NPR: ~100 days in, what has DOGE actually done?

It hasn't delivered on its promised savings, efficiency or transparency in meaningful ways.

But Elon Musk's DOGE *has* amassed unprecedented power over data.

Mediazona is on life support, and its editors are currently working without pay. It's one of the best Russian-language outlets out there. It started by focusing on police and prison in Russia, and has become probably the best Russian-language outlet in covering the war.

A hugely deserved tribute to NPR's Anas Baba, who's covered every brutal day of the war from inside Gaza. “I asked NPR on day 250 to stop asking me the question, ‘How are you today?’ Because I’m out of all answers, literally I don’t know what to say.” https://t.co/4DfMgK1Dfc

Job Opportunity Announcement

I am seeking a freelance, part-time researcher to assist with our analysis of Russian domestic politics. This position involves working one to three days per week, depending on skills and expertise. It is designed to be a formative opportunity for emerging specialists rather than a traditional job offer.

Requirements:

- Fluent in both English and Russian
- Strong understanding of current Russian domestic politics
- Ability to work with large volumes of information from media and social networks, especially Telegram
- Politically neutral and unbiased
- Cold-blooded in analysis, with the ability to prioritize what is over what should be

Interested candidates should send their CVs to [email protected]. Please also include:

1. A one-page analysis of a recent event in Russia (within the last two weeks) of your choice. We advise against choosing the situation in the Kursk region, as it requires a deep understanding of complex decision-making processes. Examples of the type of analysis we are looking for can be found in the Digests on our website R.Politik, which are free to access for content older than three months.
2. A letter of presentation explaining your vision for your future career and how you would like to realize yourself in this profession.

Please note that while I anticipate a high volume of applications, I may not be able to respond to everyone. If you are interested in future opportunities with R.Politik, please indicate this in your application. I may contact you at a later date if your application is not selected at this time.

Elon Musk shared a made up headline this morning posted by the co-leader of Britain First. He later deleted the post, after it racked up more than 1.5 million views. No such news article exists and the original post now has a community note.

EVAN IS FREE!!! Thank you to everyone who made this happen, who supported Evan and his family over the last 491 days. We have seen the best of humanity in action. My heart is so full.

Cant wait to hug you Vania ♥️

Russia has just sentenced an innocent man to 16 years in a high security prison.
I have no words to describe this farce. Let’s get Evan out of there
