Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it. I’m introducing legislation to ensure that the Smithsonian preserves the propaganda tools that the Trump Administration is using to warp and censor American history in the president’s own authoritarian self-image.
My bill will allow future generations to learn about the president who wielded his powers like a tyrant-king and the Americans who fought back for democracy and freedom. https://t.co/a2eVKJXsdQ

Disgust of Trump Reaches New Levels in Europe
A gilded statue of Donald Trump titled "Orange Plague," also known as "King of Injustice," is on display this week inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
Danish artist Jens Galschiøt was invited to show the work by Danish MEP Per Clausen. The copper sculpture, covered in 23-karat gold leaf and standing about 2.6 meters (8.5 feet), depicts a naked Trump seated on the shoulders of a much smaller, clothed man. He holds the scales of justice in one hand and a golf club in the other, beside a golf ball shaped like the Earth.
The plinth reads: "I am sitting on the back of a man. He is sinking under my burden. I will do anything to help him. Except stepping down from his back."
Galschiøt says the piece was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's "The Emperor's New Clothes," the story of a vain ruler whose subjects are too afraid to tell him he is naked. "Trump represents one of the greatest threats to the rules-based world order, democratic values, and our common effort to solve the climate crisis," he said. "We must address this issue and stand together against such destructive influence."
WHY DID TRUMP SUDDENLY “BACK DOWN” ON GREENLAND?
Because he was shown not a map — but a calculator.
Rutte made it very clear to Trump:
the Danish pension fund has already begun dumping U.S. debt securities.
And then comes the most interesting part.
The EU is ready to do the same — on a massive scale.
What does that mean?
A collapse of the U.S. government bond market.
A spike in interest rates.
Financial panic.
And the bill wouldn’t be in billions — but in tens of trillions of dollars.
Trump is not an idiot.
Like Putin, he understands only one language — the language of force.
Only this time, the force wasn’t tanks, but finance.
And at that moment, “Greenland” suddenly stopped being “vital.”
So a fairy tale about a “new deal” appeared.
But the truth is simple:
there is nothing new.
All the old agreements with Denmark remain in place.
Trump is just calling them “new” now to hide his retreat.
Because when someone shows you they can crash your economy —
heroism ends very quickly.
20 years ago, Anna Politkovskaya was murdered for speaking truth to power in Putin’s Russia.
She exposed the brutality of war. She gave a voice to its victims. And she refused to be intimidated into silence.
This cost her life. But her memory is carried by so many to this day.
Press freedom in Russia has now only been crushed further. But Anna’s voice continues to travel far beyond Russia’s borders.
She remains a symbol of courage, of fearless journalism and of the power of truth in the face of oppression.
Today, we honour Anna’s legacy. And we think of all those who continue the work she gave her life for.
@piano55100@DimitrisSoudas Totalement d’accord et Mme Courchesne devrait être remplacée à mon avis personne n’est totalement neutre mais elle ne joue pas son rôle comme les autres elle fait toujours la morale à tous!! -un peu tannée!
Trois ans après l'attaque du Hamas du 7 octobre, Israël n'a toujours pas commencé à assumer ses erreurs.
L’effondrement des services de renseignement et de sécurité israéliens demeure un problème non résolu, et les responsables qui ont ignoré les avertissements concernant une attaque du Hamas sont toujours en poste. Alors que le gouvernement de Netanyahou retarde une enquête indépendante, la guerre fait toujours rage et les cicatrices sont loin d’être refermées.
