[Emmanuel Ruimy @EmmanuelRuimy]

Les plus grandes catastrophes environnementales du XXe siècle ont eu lieu dans des économies planifiées. Le socialisme a été un cataclysme pour la planète et le vivant :

- Mer d'Aral (URSS) : Eau détournée pour le coton, sur décision du Gosplan. 90% du volume disparu. 60 000 km² de désert de sel toxique.

- Tchernobyl (URSS) : réacteur RBMK sans enceinte de confinement, choisi parce qu'il coûtait moins cher et produisait du plutonium militaire.

- Kychtym / Maïak (URSS) : explosion d'une cuve de déchets, troisième accident nucléaire de l'histoire, classé secret pendant 32 ans. 23 villages effacés des cartes (au sens propre : on a réédité les cartes).

- Lac Karatchaï (URSS) : décharge nucléaire à ciel ouvert. Sécheresse de 1967, le lac s'assèche, le vent disperse la poussière radioactive sur un demi-million de personnes. Une heure sur la rive suffit à tuer.

- Rivière Techa : on déverse ses déchets liquides dans la rivière où 124 000 riverains puisaient leur eau potable

- Semipalatinsk (URSS/Kazakhstan) : 456 essais nucléaires dont 116 à l'air libre, au-dessus d'une zone habitée. 1,5 million d'irradiés.

- Novaïa Zemlia (URSS) : Tsar Bomba, 50 mégatonnes, 3 000 fois Hiroshima. Puis 17 000 conteneurs de déchets et 16 réacteurs nucléaires, dont 6 encore chargés, coulés dans la mer de Kara.

- Triangle Noir (RDA / Tchécoslovaquie / Pologne) : lignite soufré brûlé sans le moindre filtre. Un million d'hectares de forêts tués par les pluies acides dans les Monts Métallifères et les Sudètes. Région la plus polluée du monde pendant des années.

- Norilsk (URSS) : 2 millions de tonnes de SO₂ par an, plus que la France entière. Neige noire, 100 km de toundra morte autour du complexe.

- Bitterfeld (RDA) et Copșa Mică (Roumanie) : villes-usines où l'espérance de vie s'effondrait de près d'une décennie sous la moyenne nationale. Plombémie infantile dix fois la norme. Enfants aux dents noires.

- Lac Baïkal (URSS) : 20% de l'eau douce liquide du monde, et on plante une usine de cellulose sur la rive pour fabriquer un textile de pneu d'avion devenu obsolète avant même l'ouverture de l'usine.

- Volga, Dniepr, Caspienne : cascades de barrages et égouts chimiques. 90% des esturgeons disparus.

- Flotte baleinière soviétique (1948-1973) : 180 000 baleines massacrées sans aucun usage commercial, dont 48 000 rorquals à bosse, uniquement pour remplir des tonnages.

- Grand Bond en avant (Chine, 1958-1962) : 10% des forêts rasées pour alimenter des hauts-fourneaux de jardin produisant une fonte inutilisable.

- Campagne des Quatre Nuisibles (Chine) : extermination des moineaux, invasions de criquets, 30 à 45 millions de morts de famine.

- Barrage de Banqiao (Chine, août 1975) : 62 barrages cèdent en cascade. 170 000 à 240 000 morts. Secret d'État pendant vingt ans. La catastrophe technologique la plus meurtrière de l'histoire de l'humanité.

- Corée du Nord (1990 à aujourd'hui) : 40% du couvert forestier disparu, montagnes terrassées jusqu'aux crêtes sur ordre du Parti. Inondations de 1995, effondrement agricole, famine.

[David Shuster @DavidShuster]

If Andy Beshear, the Gov of Kentucky, can't determine himself if KY Senator McConnell is conscious/talking, why should voters trust Beshear will have any fortitude and determination as President? Beshear looks remarkable weak and inept. His whining to the media isn't helping.

🚨🚨🚨 Cette vidéo d'Anthony Fauci en train de refuser de répondre en utilisant le cinquième amendement afin de garder le silence est folle !

Plus de 440 fois au total !!!

N'hésitez pas à la regarder et à la partager.

Il est temps que le monde sache ce que nous sachons depuis longtemps !

According to Ukraine's acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha, their intelligence has detected that Russia is also taking part in the ongoing disinformation and disruption campaign targeting the EU and Spain with the so called "invasion of Ceuta". US and Russia vs EU.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Republicans are so desperate that they are using videos of immigrants crossing the border of Spain to try and get people to vote for them.

They don't want to talk about the high gas prices, high inflation, low GDP, killings by ICE agents, a failed war, the Epstein files, or Trump's family corruption.

SO THEY TALK ABOUT SPAIN.

[Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 @andrii_sybiha]

We have detected an intensive Russian propaganda campaign across Europe using pictures from Ceuta to sow destabilization.

There have been more than 1,500 publications on outlets identified by analysts as a pro-Russian network, led by Pravda and RT. Pravda Spanish has posted almost 300 of them. Every language edition of RT has pushed more than 25 news items on the issue.

For years, Moscow has used migration and other sensitive topics to stoke fear and destabilize European countries.

This is not about the situation itself, but about the way Russia tries to exploit any topic that can benefit its agenda. The only way to protect the public from this interference is to cut it off.

All Russian propaganda resources should be completely banned in every European country that takes its national security seriously.

[Anonymous @YourAnonCentral]

Top US officials amplifying the disinformation and disruption campaign targeting Europe; currently the US is attempting to destablise Spain and produce a right wing ecosystem to oust the current government.

The campaign mirrors Russia's strategy, is being pushed by Trump admin.

On pardonne aux incendiaires. Les dealers et les macs sont victimes d’oppression policière. Finalement y a que les DJ juives qui doivent être punies.

[Derek Crowell 🇨🇦💪🏼 @DECrowell]

@kinsellawarren What's happening to Fauci is despicable. Republicans will stoop to any depths to distract from the Trump-Epstein files.

🚨BREAKING: In Chicago, ICE/Border Patrol agents racially profiled construction workers, jumped over a locked fence without a warrant, and refused to leave after the owner repeatedly told them to… all while causing approximately $30,000 in damage.

And now, the homeowner is suing.

According to a new federal lawsuit and video evidence, these masked, heavily armed agents jumped out of their vehicles and stormed construction workers, who were on their lunch break… chasing them onto the private property where they were working, on October 24.

The agents followed them over the locked fence, and through the property, eventually arresting one worker inside the garage, who a judge later ordered to be released.

The homeowner was watching it happen, through his Ring cameras, and repeatedly told the agents to get the off his property.

But they refused… And caused approximately $30,000 in damage.

And after this happened, agents continued terrorizing one of the wealthiest areas in Chicago, by tear gassing the entire street… which directly violated a court order.

The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures… Your home, and the private area around it, are some of the most protected spaces under the Constitution.

Federal agents need a warrant, consent, or a recognized exception… such as exigent circumstances or valid hot pursuit… to enter private property like this.

According to the lawsuit, they had none of those things… No search warrant, no arrest warrant, no permission to enter, and no probable cause or reasonable suspicion that criminal activity was happening on this property.

That is why the homeowner is saying their Fourth Amendment right was violated.

And then there’s the racial profiling…

The federal government cannot simply use someone’s race or ethnicity as a substitute for reasonable suspicion. The Fifth Amendment’s equal-protection principles apply to the federal government.

This is not just about a broken fence or $30,000 in property damage.

It’s about federal agents deciding that they could climb over a locked gate, enter private property, chase people through someone’s home and ignore the homeowner telling them to leave… without a warrant or a clearly established legal basis to be there.

When the government refuses to follow the Constitution… and refuses to hold its own agents accountable when they break the law… they aren’t protecting us.

They are putting every single one of us in danger.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

The Trump Administration has some serious explaining to do because there’s a ton of money missing and ZERO explanation for where it went.   

It has collected an estimated $13 billion from Venezuelan oil sales.  

Take a wild guess on how much of that is currently accounted for.   

The answer is $300 million. That’s roughly 2.3 PERCENT.  

And even that information came from the Venezuelan government, not the Trump Administration.  

So where is the rest of the money?

HOLY SH*T! This new ad, when tested, moves swing voters 5 POINTS TO DEMOCRATS!

Because Republicans just cut Medicare. And Prescription drug costs are about to SKYROCKET for seniors.

SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE. #RepublicansCutHealthcare

[Angela Ryan @Ryan2011Angela]

@factpostnews Another reason to vote every @SenateGOP and @HouseGOP out of office.

Raising RX prices for our seniors while Trump Rob’s Americans blind.

[FactPost @factpostnews]

The Trump administration is ending Medicare Part D subsidies, raising prescription drug costs for more than 11 million Americans.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

United & Delta donated $1M → Trump ended flight cancelation compensation rules.

TurboTax parent donated $1M → Trump killed free tax filing.

Toyota donated $1M → Trump canceled CFPB refund order for overcharged borrowers.

It’s a pattern of corruption that costs you money.

[PERRI @pascalperri]

Hier le Porte parole de la fédération Nationale des pompiers évoquait sur @TF1Info "les forces agricoles" qui apportent une aide directe aux pompiers pour lutter contre les incendies #Incendiesdeforêt.
La situation actuelle marque une frontière entre ceux qui aident et ceux qui caquettent. Le moment venu, il faudra faire le compte des responsabilités de:
- Ceux qui se sont opposés à l'entretien, au débroussaillage, à l'élargissement des accès DFCI (Défense de la forêt contre l'incendie);
- Ceux qui en juin 2023 ont voté contre une PPL consacrée à la lutte contre les incendies;
- Ceux qui en 2025 ont voté contre l'augmentation des moyens accordés aux sapeurs pompiers.

Pas sûr que ce soit grâce à elle, mais il faut reconnaître l’accélération.

Au cours de cet été 2026, on aura enfin compris qu’il faut :
- climatiser
- stocker l’eau en hiver
- entretenir les forêts et débroussailler.

À suivre pour de nouvelles mesures du PNACC.

[Mr. Republican 🇺🇸🇻🇦 @conservative767]

For the first time in my time here, I am endorsing a democrat.

I fully endorse Brian Poindexter for Congress.

Max Miller is an evil abuser and a psyopathic monster who thinks it’s okay to abuse women and children.

Under no circumstances can that of behavior be allowed. Ever.

[Covie @covie_93]

The Republican candidate here broke his 2yo daughter's collarbone, pour hot water on his wife and held a gun to her head.

[MP Arizona☀️🏳️‍🌈💙🌵🐕🐕‍🦺🫂💦🏜🐟🌴🎙🌎🌻♍️🌊 @AzPetrich]

If you heard that someone poured scalding hot water on his wife, put a gun to her head, and broke his two year-old daughter's collarbone, you'd think the person would be in prison, but you were wrong. That is Rep. Max Miller who has full support of House Republican leadership!
