apparently the unprecedented wealth and inflcuence big tech is amassing at the cost of the most marginalised is not enough. big tech ceos are not that different from drug cartels www.irishtimes.com/business/202...

Ca parle de Grok et de Grokipedia sans que ne soit dit une seule fois que ce sont des outils basés sur le mensonge pour favoriser l’extrême droite. On entend même que maintenant « il a pris sa distance avec la politique » et qu’ « il y a une version messianique d’Elon Musk ». Vertigineux.

Trois ans après l’invasion de l’Ukraine, et une énorme vague de viols, enlèvements, tortures et meurtres de civils qui se poursuivent encore chaque jours, ce genre d’annonces de demi-mesures timorées ne fait que montrer l’incompétence et la lâcheté des dirigeants européens face à Poutine.

It seems that European leaders still haven’t found their backbone and, as usual, lack a vision of their own - apart from regulating what they failed to understand before the rest of the world did.

When the suspects appear to be white guys, it’s not a bombing — it’s an intentional explosion.

A l'ère de la loi du plus fort, les nouveaux rois s'appuient sur les seconds pour faire régner la peur dont il tire leur pouvoir : Trump, Poutine, Netanyahou, Orban, ...

How did we mess up so badly that the whole world is reeling in chaos and dismay? Anyway, let's work together to bring back light in this mess !

Reassessing our positions in light of their effects, especially the negative ones, is imperative. If leaving behind who we were promises something better, is that not the choice of an honest man? Must I, out of loyalty to myself, continue to support a bad man? Letting go oneself can be constructive.

Réévaluer nos positions à l’aune de leurs effets, surtout négatifs, s’impose. Si quitter ce que nous étions promet un mieux, n’est-ce pas le choix d’un honnête homme ? Dois-je, par fidélité à moi-même, continuer de soutenir un homme mauvais ? S'abandonner est parfois constructeur.

Imagine listening to this and believing he knows what he's talking about. His supporters can't abandon him without severe narcissistic injury to themselves (taking responsibility, admitting they were wrong, repairing relationships). Here we remain in narcissistic collusion with destruction/death.

Un président corrompu qui ment dans un journal détenu par un oligarque fasciste qui a fait fortune en exploitant l'Afrique : quelle meilleure illustration de la menace la plus inquiétante pour nos démocraties ?

Guillaume D. (@gdeleur.bsky.social) a été suspendu pour avoir écrit: " Les gens: "Trump n'est pas fasciste, allez réviser ce qu'est le fascisme !" Trump: "Les antifascistes sont des terroristes." " Si je suis suspendu, ça sera pour la même chose.

Yes, Reuters nailed it here that the death of this influencer is a watershed moment and not when MAGA violently stormed the US Capitol, killed police, trashed the place and then were all pardoned by Trump. Or only a few weeks ago when a Democrat in MN was assassinated by a MAGA guy in her own house.

If Israel goes for Ankara next it would literally be required of all NATO members including the US to defend Turkey And we would see whether the West’s support for Israel trumps (pun intended) their commitment to NATO

The US president trafficked & raped underage girls, the evidence is overwhelming, everyone knows it, and this country's elites & institutions are so broken, so insular, so decadent that we can't even bring ourselves to state it clearly, much less do anything about it. Contemptible & pathetic.

⚡️ EU Voters are ahead of politicians. ↪️ 81% of Europeans now back a common defense & security policy - a bottom-up push for more integration. 👇

ASML, a crucial supplier of advanced chipmaking equipment, is set to become the top shareholder of French artificial intelligence startup Mistral AI in a move to strengthen European tech sovereignty, people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.

🚨🚨Yes, we all knew that the poor trade deal with the US was a result of the EU being extremely frightened about the prospect of US dropping military and intelligence support to Ukraine. It, however, seems to drag out some inevitable choices for Europe in terms of collective defense and security. 🧵

Thierry Breton: "Is this really the best deal, as they say today, that Europe could hope for? Capitulation was, we are told, preferable to uncertainty and the risks of a trade war." lamatinaleeuropeenne.substack.com/p/thierry-br...

In which world those actions define USA as an ally ? OTAN was already for some years a zombie org, USA is now the enemy within our common house.

No deal possible with Trump, without strength. Please EU officials, find a backbone in your locker.

Sorry but they do know. That’s why they’re pushing eugenics, buying private armies, building robots, retreating into fortified camps, and letting fire kill the preterite.

The super rich aren't smart. They have no idea how dangerous the situation is

This nails it 🎯

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll explain the Alaska Fiasco and how it marks the peak of Trump’s two-year betrayal of Ukraine. What was sold as “peace talks” turned into a spectacle of weakness, humiliation, empty promises, and photo-ops that handed Putin exactly what he wanted. 1/24

1. You may have noticed something. I used to talk about the president’s dementia pretty regularly, but haven’t in months. That’s because I’ve lost faith. I used to believe the Washington press corps would see the plainly obvious. I no longer believe that. The hypocrisy is too baked in.

"La Russie est une immense machine de destruction qui, après l’asservissement de l’Ukraine, se ruera contre l’Europe, pas forcément sous la forme d’une invasion militaire mais par la démoralisation et la propagation de la haine, de la bêtise, de l’égoïsme national suicidaire et du nihilisme."

Ursula von der Leyen gave Trump $1.35 trillion in trade and energy concessions to avoid a tariff war. Now he wants more, and threatens 35% tariffs if we don’t pay up. www.frenchdispatch.eu/p/trump-tari...

🇪🇺Europe Must Stop Paying Tribute to Washington The EU’s $1.35 trillion trade and energy concessions to Donald Trump cement Europe’s junior‑partner status. Unless leaders endure short‑term pain, they will sacrifice long‑term power and sovereignty. www.frenchdispatch.eu/p/europe-us-...

Les journalistes nous demandent souvent ce que les Ukrainiens pensent des Européens. Et bien, je crois que ce post de Yourii Gudimenko Юрій Гудименко, activiste, combattant et président du conseil anticorruption auprès du ministère de la Défense en résume une partie.

There is no "Alligator Alcatraz" in Florida, only the Dade-Collier Concentration Camp. Shame on Trumpism and MAGA.

Society without empathy is hell on earth. Don't forget it when you think rational decision must solely be based on performance and what you are paid for it.

www.alternet.org/of-empathy/ The war on empathy is well underway in America. Our nation is being overrun by a horde of Gordon Gekko clones.

Est-il normal, dans un pays civilisé, qu’un scientifique du climat reçoive des messages de haine raciste, déshumanisants, et incitant au suicide ? J'en ai malheureusement des 10aines à 100aines de fois par jour. Quand est-ce qu'on aura une réaction politique pour protéger nos scientifiques ?

It's impossible to look at these numbers and not assume that we have already lost World War 3. While we literally worry about whether the glint from panels will frighten horses, China is building a solar-fuelled industrial base capable of taking on the world.

Only pundits at the New York Times think that "MAGA ideology" actually exists, and that the "movement" has intense polcy debates. The GOP is a charismatic, Leader driven autocratic party, and its "policies" are what Trump wants them to be at the moment.

For people that think that Donald Trump is losing support, here is the map showing his support. This is from a Morning Consult poll that was published today Tones of Red are against Trump. Tones of Green to Black are for Trump. White means a tie between for and against Trump

Again I stand by what I said. "I can't believe I even have to talk about these people. That's how ridiculous it s." www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Trumpism is fascism, proofs are available everywhere now.

The man on the ground is US Senator Alex Padilla, who was forcibly removed from a press conference held by Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem after he asked Noem a question.

"Liberate this city from socialists and burdensome leadership." If that's not regime change, I don't know what to tell you. The inflection point is now.

How could you live under this and *not* want to shoot these guys? I’ve seen similar footage from the U.S. in Iraq and it’s like - ok yeah I get why previously apolitical or moderate people join insurgences
