German intelligence for years intercepted Obama's calls from Air Force One, @holgerstark.bsky.social reveals. So Germany has been a more mature country than it pretended to be ("Ausspähen unter Freunden geht gar nicht"). A pity we didn't have grown-up debate on the Snowden stuff back then.

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated. According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

Agree with reinforcing. But it’s high time to drop this tragic misunderstanding about provoking bullies. Bullies respect strength. They are not provoked by strength and resolve. They are *deterred* by strength and resolve and provoked by *lack* of either. Let’s not repeat this mistake any more.

First-ever US airstrikes in Nigeria put the second Trump admin’s 2025 combat actions at: —Nigeria—tonight’s strikes —Yemen—1,000+ strikes (Mar-Apr) —Somalia—120 strikes, 1 ground raid —Syria—78+ strikes, 3 ground raids —Caribbean—11 strikes —Eastern Pacific—20 strikes —Iran—3 strikes —Iraq—1 strike

With the new U.S. national security strategy (“NSC-88”), I think it is high time to ban Twitter in the EU altogether. At the very least, what the ever loving hell are our politicians doing there anymore? They provide material for a system that will be used to attack us.

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand. The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

Many people have wondered how the Finns defend Finland today, so here's a very short introduction to modern Finnish defence policy - and a brief synopsis of how the Finnish military would probably fight if any hostile country decided to invade. 1/

Danish pilots keep reporting sightings of little green men aboard civilian vessels coming from Russia. Unfortunately the authorities don’t want to discuss these sightings. But a veteran pilot with decades of experience is willing to talk. Full story here: danwatch.dk/militaerunif...

"This marks the largest U.S. military presence in the Caribbean in decades, with nearly 20% of the Navy’s deployed warships in the region"

But it’s all about those narco boats…… With the USS Gerald R. Ford now in position, the U.S. has reached its largest regional military buildup in generations, nearly a dozen Navy ships and roughly 12,000 sailors and Marines under “Operation Southern Spear.” -Politico

5/n - If by testing he means nuclear explosive testing, that would be reckless, probably not possible for 18 months, would cost money that Congress would have to approve, and it would certainly trigger Russian and Chinese and likely also India/Pakistan nuclear tests.

1/n - Trump says something about nuclear weapons tests...It’s hard to know what he means. As usual, he’s unclear, all over the map, and wrong. 1. The United States has more Nuclear Weapons than any other country. Wrong. Russia has more nuclear weapons than the United States.

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

I just found out that Finland teaches kids in kindergarten to fact check, and actively teaches children how to spot fake news. Why isn't this standard everywhere! The best time for other countries to follow suit was at the same time. The second best is now. www.helsinkitimes.fi/themes/theme...

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

Texas proudly invading Illinois. It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

"What they propose is in effect a mass surveillance free-for-all, opening up everyone’s intimate and confidential communications, whether government officials, military, investigative journalists, or activists. For all of Europe’s talk of sovereignty, this is a bizarre cybersecurity decision"

This sure doesn't look like an accident. LAPD needs to investigate and take action immediately.

In an amazing deep investigation, analysts at @danwatch found blueprints of Russian nuke missile sites. They discovered a dirty little secret: Western companies supplied materials to Russia’s nuke modernization. danwatch.dk/en/serious-s... Honored to provide nuclear arsenal info to investigation.

My colleagues Thomas and @glistrup.bsky.social at @danwatch.dk just published this absolutely remarkable story on Russias secret nuclear program. One of the deepest insights to the modernization of their nuclear facilities I've ever seen - do yourself a favor and read the story. Amazing work by them

Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.

"We cannot give everyone a trial," says the president of these United States.

Trump full-on accusing Zelensky of starting the war Russia launched against Ukraine in 2014, before Zelensky was even president, and escalated in 2022 with it unprovoked, full-blown invasion. Not a single criticism toward Putin, a day after the deadliest single attack of the war by Russia this year.

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not. An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.
