No Russians should be there at all

Russian street singer Naoko sat down with YouTuber Yury Dud for her first big interview after her arrest for singing anti-war songs and her subsequent escape from Russia. Here’s what she had to say. meduza.io/en/feature/2...

“You can't out-fash the fascists, so don't try… Don't concede far-right framing around immig’n & economic matters & everything else… Fascists gain power by changing people's minds. How else do they gain a foothold in multicult’l liberal democracies that have [rejected such] messaging for decades…?”

These useful-idiot fellow-travelers are going to get us all rounded up by the Gestapo.

“A Middle Way”? Between what?? Fascism and liberalism??? ‘“Long before Hitler unleashed his assault on globalism, popular support for free trade, the League of Nations, and democracy was waning,” wrote…’ 🗺️

Also, Bari Weiss (BA, Columbia University), formerly of The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, who has made her <entire career> taking money from establishment & legacy institutions, would like you to believe that she is a Populist Champion of Real Folkz against The Elites.

I'm disappointed that planning to annex Greenland and threatening Canada - one of the largest trading partners the US has, and a crucial ally for North American defence - with the same fate were not considered to be major US foreign policy blunders.

Latest Measles outbreak in Kentucky. Measles had been eliminated in the US in 2020 but in 2025 there were a total of 2,065 confirmed measles cases in the US, 88% of them associated with outbreaks. The measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine is “very safe and effective,” per CDC.

My slight concern - i.e. the solution is to give local authorities a bit more money to care about it - is that in a handful of places what we're seeing is 'exodus from weird, barely solvent private school to weird, even worse standard of home education'.

Historically religions acted as the divine endorser of states and political orders. Then the Jewish prophetic tradition and later Jesus upended the system and placed God on the side of the oppressed and those who faced state violence. Be like Jesus and not the would be crusaders.

So delighted for poor, victimised Michelle Mone. She can keep her 15K weekly income from the mansion she rents out. 🥳 It’s a mere pittance for an entrepreneur who has inspired so many & who is loved by millions. Let’s hope 2026 is a better year for this kind & noble woman. 🙏🏻❤️

I was today years old when I learned about the Irish Rebellion of 1798, an outgrowth of the American and French Revolutions led by Irish Presbyterians who wanted a union with Irish Catholics for a new democratic republic. It failed, but the French sent troops in support! There were battles!

1/ Thousands of Russian soldiers have likely been killed by their own side, with 300 men said to have been murdered in one unit alone. The story of one commander who was killed by another, who was then also killed, highlights an ongoing epidemic of murder, torture and robbery. ⬇️

Russian terrorists are attacking Kharkiv from the air. There are civilian casualties. Russia's policy is to annihilate Ukraine. It will never stop until it is defeated in war.
