MEPs across parties today urged the European Commission to finally ban fur farming & the trade of farmed fur in the EU. With over 1.5 million citizens backing the #FurFreeEurope ECI, the message is clear: Fur farming is cruel, outdated & must end. ⤵️ bit.ly/4p1pDzJ

New: @theins.press saw the Witkoff-Dmitriev plan six months ago in draft form—except it was all Dmitriev. Bloomberg reports now Dmitriev told Ushakov he’d pass along a Russian plan and the Americans “can present it as their own”: theins.press/en/politics/...

Today, our very own Antonio Calcara will be speaking at a PRIO-IRSEM Europe event entitled: "Drones over Europe: Security and Regulatory Dimensions", in Brussels. A timely event to discuss a major security concern for Europeans. More info www.irsem.fr/en/irsem-eur... @acalcara.bsky.social

Several regions of Russia have suspended payments to families of those killed in the war against Ukraine⤵️. 📹: Radio Liberty

Witkoff works for terrorist Russia and in a normal timeline would be investigated by the FBI. There is no way he is a Kremlin shill for free

We still need to get from a situation where Russia pretends to negotiate to a situation where they need to negotiate. Extract from my press remarks following today’s informal Foreign Affairs Council ↓

A great article in @foreignaffairs.com about the "toothless" Trump sanctions on Russian oil, that people have been getting wrong. China is still buying lots of oil, and without secondary sanctions, this will protect Moscow www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

Let’s try a thought experiment - say you’ve just been appointed to head the FBI, and you have buggy eyes, and you meet a cool woman, quite amazing, and you commission a jet plane, the FBI Plane, tx payer’s expense, to visit her singing at a wrestling match. OK?

We know that family gatherings can be challenging during the holidays 😬. That’s why we put together a guide to help you have the hard, but necessary, conversations about reproductive freedom. Full conversation guide here: reproforall.org/convo

Trump says in a post he's sending Witkoff to meet with Putin in Moscow and Driscoll to meet with the Ukrainians "I look forward to hopefully meeting with President Zelenskyy and President Putin soon, but ONLY when the deal to end this War is FINAL or, in its final stages."

In the Lyman direction, pilots of the SIGNUM battalion struck Russian occupiers’ shelters, a "Bukhanka" vehicle, and a couple more on ATVs. t.me/c/1234537012...

The year-long pressure campaign by the Trump regime to force Ukraine to accept "peace-deal" conditions which are not acceptable & deny Ukraine the ability to negotiate on its own behalf is tyrannical. Then we get the "28-point" deal & the attempt to coerce Ukraine to accept it by November 27! 1/

⚡️ 'Rewarding Russian butchery' — US lawmakers rail against Trump's Ukraine peace deal. "Rewarding Russian butchery would be disastrous to America’s interests," U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell said.

Toby Young, self-appointed king of free speech, is speaking in Hungary tomorrow about UK “censorship”. He’ll be addressing a group funded by Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime, which has seized control of the country’s media, judiciary, and routinely harasses its critics

What the US is committed to: Respect territorial integrity, prosecute war crimes, keep NATO open What Trump's plan requires: Recognize conquest, grant amnesty, close NATO door 71 direct contradictions. euromaidanpress.com/2025/11/24/t...

How important is the outcome of Russia’s war on Ukraine to security of Europe? If Putin succeeds in Ukraine, European unity will disintegrate. youtu.be/vNB3u0ii0nQ

When European leaders are discussing "peace deals" with Russia & the U.S., or discussing again the persistent demand of Trump to readmit Russia to the G8 - AND when the U.S. negotiation team includes Jared Kushner & Steve Witkoff!!! - keep this here 👇 also in mind: www.dw.com/en/us-milita...

If this is true, European states are inviting their own failures and embracing the end of what brought peace to Europe for 80 years. Welcoming Putin back into the G8, where he can team up with Trump to humiliate Europe invites disaster. www.newsweek.com/europe-russi...

Conduct Committee found both peers offered introductions and parliamentary services for financial benefit, echoing earlier investigative revelations. www.occrp.org/en/news/uk-h...

Trump's meeting with the Central Asian leaders appears to have resulted in the OFAC delisting of entities related to Russian-Uzbek oligarch, Alisher Usmanov, who has always sued everybody for any negative mentioning of him. How can that be justified?! ofac.treasury.gov/recent-actio...

We will keep pushing for peace based on the principle of 'Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine'.

Initiatives like this 👇 plus PR videos with a unifying message, instilling in society a sense of common identity & purpose are exactly what every European country should be moving forward with. There's an imminent need for conscription; seed the motivation to act together. www.dw.com/en/poland-ra...

💬 And Europe’s security will be either increased or diminished as a result of how this war ends, so of course, as EU, we demand to be included in those decisions. In my view, it is not the victim’s ability to defend itself that should be limited, but the aggressor’s ability to carry out aggression.

Apropos of this crap, a good friend who has been an immigration judge for years just got unceremoniously fired by email — another victim of the ongoing purges of those who believe in due process. I am furious. Years of civil service ended by people who hate that an immigrant might win a case.

⚡️4 killed, 17 injured in Kharkiv amid Russian drone attack. Russia launched a massive drone attack on Kharkiv on the evening of Nov. 23, killing at least four people and injuring at least 17, regional officials said.

Public notice for the pending FTO designation of Cartel de los Soles. Document is slated to be published on 24 November at which time it will take effect. Next week we will likely see a considerable ramp in military activity, with strikes possible on land targets in Venezuela.

It's also vastly easier and cheaper for media outlets to produce culture war content than policy stuff. With policy, you have to find actual experts that are available and willing, then pray they're good entertaining communicators. On culture shit, you start with a talking head and work backwards.

7/ Russian forces are continuing to commit war crimes on the battlefield in Ukraine, particularly near Pokrovsk. Ukrainian forces recently advanced near Siversk and in the Kostyantynivka-Druzhkivka tactical area. Russian forces recently advanced near Siversk.

Ukraine is facing one of its most perilous moments since the Russian full-scale invasion. On The Power Vertical Podcast this week, I break it down with the always insightful Mike Carpenter and James Sherr www.powervertical.org/2025/11/21/u....

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Hi All, just sent out this (mostly free). The Long Con of the Trump administration came to an end yesterday, as it was always going to do. We are back in the Oval Office with Trump and Vance ambushing Zelensky. The whole pivot to Ukraine was a sham to help Putin. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

This isn’t a “peace plan.” It’s a blueprint for Ukraine’s capitulation. If implemented, it would turn this pro-Western, democratic nation, which has been courageously resisting Russian aggression since 2014, into a Kremlin colony. wapo.st/3XcRot6

Lib Dems to force vote on creating new customs union with EU Ed Davey’s party believes the move is the best way to ‘turbocharge’ economy, rather than tax rises www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

As part of a broader push to adopt hardline immigration policies,Trump has moved to withdraw various protections that had allowed immigrants to remain in the United States and work legally.

This cartoon literally summarizes my article from the other day. I should learn to draw

Keir Starmer & every European leader seriously need to pay attention to this condition of the Trump-Putin brokered “peace deal”: “…There are no indications that the size or capabilities of the Russian military would be restricted.”

Recap of Chapter 2 of my new series on Russia and the Global Far-Right Chapter 3 will be out later today

Latest piece out in @theatlantic.com . Trump's "peace" plan for Ukraine, which he at this very moment trying to force on the country with threats and intimidation, is grotesque. The US president is admitting what too many refused to admit, he wants Putin to win. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

The Biden Justice Department Attorney General Garland should have moved swiftly to investigate, charge and prosecute Donald Trump for his crimes against the nation, by March 2021 at the latest. The failure to do this would eventually lead to the rapid disintegration of the nation.

The fall of the American Empire in 3 acts: the failure to prosecute & sentence Jefferson Davis; the pardon of Richard Nixon which guaranteed no accountability for his crimes; the failure to swiftly prosecute Donald Trump for leading a plot to seize permanent control of the government.

It is an escalation of Trump's retribution vows to investigate and punish his political foes by orders of magnitude.

Ellis repeatedly accuses multiple CBP and ICE officials of lying (under oath) and says their "widespread misrepresentations call into question everything" they "say they are doing in their characterization of what is happening." She broadly discredits their testimony as objectively false.

Here is Trump's full 28 point plan for Ukraine. It would destroy Ukraine as a sovereign state and leave it helpless to face a Russian attack in the future. It would also give Putin full vindication and immunity from prosecution. www.axios.com/2025/11/20/t...
