The oldest Russian city in Russia isn't even Russian. Derbent, at the Caspian Sea, was an Iranian colony built by the Sassanids 2500 years ago. The Russians conquered it in 1813, slaughtered the Iranian and Turkish population, settled Russians there, and now claim it's "the oldest Russian city".

But most importantly, this does not look like the work of someone who's willing to move away in 2 and a half years.

Today is the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression. For #Ukrainians, this is a painful reality that has become part of everyday life. Since 2022 alone, Russia has killed 707 Ukrainian children, injured 2,548, and left 2,318 missing. The youngest victim was just two days old -

The Islamic Republic's judiciary has executed another of Iran's January protesters, Fathollah Avari, on charges of waging war against God. At least 40 political prisoners have been executed in Iran since the war began. en-hrana.org/january-2026...

Kyiv. Covered in smoke after the Russian attacks. Kyiv stands and will stand.

🚨 BREAKING: Russia kills first responder in double-tap strike on Dnipro. A Russian secondary strike targeting rescue operations in Dnipro killed a State Emergency Service worker today while damaging residential buildings and a fire station.

The russians have committed yet another unimaginable crime against humanity by attacking civilian housing with ballistic missiles. They targeted a nine-storey building in a double-tap strike to kill first responders,damaged a 24-storey residential complex and a 15-storey apartment complex in Kyiv.

The Islamic Republic's judiciary has executed another two of Iran's January protesters, Ashkan Maleki and Mehrdad Mohammadinia, on charges including leading the coup d'état (!) and waging war against God. parsi.euronews.com/2026/06/01/t... hengaw.net/en/news/2026...

Trump’s arrogance has backfired. He spent a decade laughing at presidents caught in endless wars, only to start his own in Iran with zero foresight. He is finding out that reality is harder than a social media post. He has no plan and no clue how to get out

In the January 2026 protests, Iran’s brutal regime exterminated over 30,000 protesters, including children. The family of a teenager who faces an execution by the state, was told to buy a grave because he "had waged war against God." This is the reality in Iran. We say: #StopExecutionsInIran!

⚡️Russia is trying to swap stolen Ukrainian children for prisoners of war, a demand Zelenskyy calls illegal and proof of their crimes.

If we give the Ukrainians Patriots and sanction Russian energy the war is over. In other words, US policy at present is to keep the war going. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

We still remember the London Blitz, which lasted eight months. Ukraine has been under attack for fifty-one months. You can help defend Ukrainians from missiles and drones. u24.gov.ua/news/timothy...

💔 A horrific Russian artillery strike tore through a playground in Kherson, shattering a young family.

Watching Ukraine dismantle Russian logistics 150 km from the front with mid-range drones is extraordinary. This is the scary future of warfare. The danger is that Russia will catch up. The rest of Europe is deeply unprepared to face these threats

Russia tried to shoot down a stork with an FPV drone. The stork dodged it. Ukraine's national symbol of peace is apparently also better at evasive maneuvers than the Russian army. Support link is in our Bio.

The political difference EU membership makes in 2026 is the difference between Hungary and Turkey

This woman is dead after Russian shelling of Kherson. Her husband is in critical condition with both of his legs amputated. Their kid is three years old. #RussiaIsATerroristState

Yet multiple outlets reported that he "spoke" to the crowd. The media is such a joke now.

💔 Painful footage of a child's body being pulled from the rubble of a house in the Darnytskyi district of Kyiv Currently, 13 people are known to have died as a result of the Russian strike on the capital on the night of May 14, including 2 children.

Remember the first weeks of the full-scale invasion, when European politicians were too ashamed to defend Russia? Even the Kremlin's biggest fans condemned Russia. That should still be the absolute minimum standard today. Some of them seem to have forgotten that

The Islamic Republic's judiciary has secretly executed 29-year-old top-ranked aerospace engineering master's student Erfan Shakourzadeh, without prior notice to his family and without a final visit, on charges obtained through forced confession under severe torture. hengaw.net/en/news/2026...

With a peace deal, the US will forever lose the ability to intervene in Iran's domestic oppression, even with a new administration. Maybe exactly what Putin told Trump to do. A tragic result for Iranian dissidents. They'd be better off if the US troops left without a deal.

Ukraine 🇺🇦 A woman holds her father’s hand through the shattered window of his car. He was killed by shrapnel in the middle of a street in Merefa, Kharkiv region.

Hey, Neoliberale. Könnt ihr vielleicht den Markt endlich mal regeln lassen und die zu hohen Kosten für fossile Energien akzeptieren? Nein? Der Staat muss subventionieren? Dann ist das nicht neoliberal, dann ist das einfach korrupt.

“First, Russia must be defeated. Then Russian society must feel collective guilt for what happened under Stalinism and for the slaughters inflicted, especially on Ukrainians. There must be this collective sense of guilt. Russian children must learn the truth in textbooks of what Russians did.”

Schon schlimm, wie wenig von vielen verstanden wurde, dass das Argument, sich der "Auseinandersetzung auf X" stellen zu wollen, angesichts des Algorithmus überhaupt nicht zieht. Wenn Namen wie Nouripour, Lang, Özdemir oder von Notz ausdrücklich mit dieser Begründung bleiben, dann fallen sie 1/2

>Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson were all on Russian payroll >Orban loses in Hungary >Rod Dreher immediately leaves Budapest >The Daily Wire fires half their staff was all the right-wing conspiracy posting about USAID just massive fucking projection?

Yeah, I bet he has good reasons to be so fearful. Murder and paranoia about it are intrinsic features of russian politics. One reason why it's immensely frustrating that some in Europe/US imagine that post-Pu russia can quickly/easily transition to normal politics.

The lifeless body of Hesam Alaeddin, a 40-year-old father of two, was handed over to his family some time after his arrest on charges of possessing a Starlink device. During the raid on his house, he was reportedly beaten so severely that he died on the spot. iranwire.com/en/news/1518...

Europe’s security has one prerequisite: A decisive Russian defeat in Ukraine. The imperial mindset must be dismantled, not appeased. There is no easy way out

I can't explain how it feels to save their pictures and post them here. People who look like those I know, who could be my friends and family, who are full of life, an innocent life taken from them to satisfy a bunch of bloodthirsty, sick old men who claim to be acting on God's behalf.

Ukraine climbs to 55th in RSF's 2026 Press Freedom Index — up 7 spots in a year, up 50 since Russia's full-scale invasion The US drops to 64th; Russia ranks 172nd. RSF reported Russia holds 26 Ukrainian journalists in prison euromaidanpress.com/2026/04/30/u...

Calling Trump a Tyrant Is Not a Call to Violence Conservatives want to police how we talk about Trump—while excusing how the president talks about everyone else www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

We owe Russia absolutely nothing. They are the ones who owe us for breaking every promise and committing genocide in Europe. We need to stop acting like they dictate the terms. We should be the ones making demands on Moscow, not the other way around

Speaking in Athens, French President Emmanuel Macron stated that Europe has found itself in a unique situation where Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump, and Xi Jinping are simultaneously confronting it: “We should not underestimate that this is a unique moment⤵️

It’s no coincidence that enemies of Europe work so hard to dismantle the EU and fight its regulations. A united and regulated Europe is a global power that cannot be bullied. Division and deregulation are exactly what they want to gain control. Unity is the shield

Der Status Quo des Iran-Krieges sieht ganz anders aus als das, was die Akteure vorgegeben haben, erreichen zu wollen. Und die Interessen der Menschen im #Iran sind überhaupt nicht in den Verhandlungen vertreten. Meine Einordnung dazu bei Deutschlandfunk:

russia attacked the Dnipro Region over 70 times today, killing 3 people and injuring another 8, including a 10-year-old child💔 A never ending nightmare, brought by psychotic murderers. Help defend people from atrocitious russian crimes: u24.gov.ua/sky-defense?...

From reddit, trash bins near government buildings in Budapest are filled with shredded documents.

⚡️ Cherkasy mourns eight-year-old Bohdan killed by Russian drone while playing with friends on a playground.

Odesa today. According to latest reports 8 people died here in a massive russian attack. 16 others were injured. These deaths didn't bring russia any closer to conquering Ukraine. They didn't serve any military purpose whatsoever, its plain and simple terrorism.

The clips coming out of Hungary today are so golden. Peter Magyar goes to see the president, sees that Orban is skulking around on the other balcony and comments "Absolute Cinema"

This is a Ukrainian boy, Bohdan. He will forever be eight years old. Yesterday, a Russian drone killed Bohdan as he was playing on a playground in Cherkasy. Bohdan sang in the church choir. Deepest condolences... Russian terrorism must be stopped.

Of course Netanyahu is seething about Orban's defeat. The two have known each other since the 2000s (possibly 1990s) and have worked together in their respective election campaigns since 2006.

TISZA got 53,6% of the vote, but it translates to 70% of seats in parliament. That's how broken the Hungarian electoral system is. Orban's nasty creation was used against him. It's important that Peter Magyar now gets rid of it for good by rewriting the constitution.

Reminiscent of the reaction of Brezhnev and Jaruzelski to John Paul II, though quite a bit more hysterical. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/u...

People on the streets! Singing! Dancing! Trumpets! Chanting "LONG LIVE FREEDOM!" What a time to be alive! What a thing to witness! I love you all!

Orban concedes defeat. The support of Trump, Vance, Putin, Lavrov, Weidel, Milei, Le Pen, Fico, Babis and many others could not overcome Hungarian anger at a stagnant, corrupt regime www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

"Voting doesn't work" motherfuckers! Watch as enough people vote to literally rewrite a constitution! Watch and fucking seethe!!!!
