The U.S. carried out 48 executions in 2025. That’s the year-end total reported by the Death Penalty Information Center and repeated in late-2025 coverage, up from 25 in 2024.

Deliberately targeting water sources to harm civilians is a crime against humanity.

If the world condemns the latest airstrike in United Arab Emirates, it should also condemn drone attacks in Khartoum by the RSF, backed by Emirati funding. But no one will because we all sell them weapons.... sudantribune.com/article/313495

Today, European Union leaders meet in Yerevan. In a few days, they meet again for another EU-Armenia summit. Last week, another summit. Next week, more. This isn’t diplomacy anymore. It’s corporate-style meeting overload.

New trend in Europe: publicly criticize Donald Trump while quietly adopting similar hardline measures. At least Trump is loud about it. In Europe, they lecture the world in public and pass dirty laws in silence. Wonder what's worst. 😔 africa.businessinsider.com/local/lifest...

Unpopular opinion 🫣 In the coming months, many centrist and liberal politicians will face massive electoral defeats. They’ll blame extremism, fake news, or foreign interference, which do exist. But none will ask themselves whether their blind support for Israel played a role in their losses.

Unpopular opinion 🫣 Believing the world’s top oil producer, the U.S., truly wants fuel prices to return to previous levels is a fairy tale. China understands the game because it does the same with rare minerals. Europe’s leadership is again too naive to understand what’s happening.

Believing the 60-day War Powers deadline will have any real impact on Trump is naive. That limit was already bypassed during the Kosovo War under Bill Clinton and during the war in Libya under Barack Obama.

25 years ago, Europe proudly exported its factories and technology to China as a symbol of globalization’s success. Chinese protectionism was criticized as unfair and anti-competitive. Now that China has scaled up, Europe wants to implement those same protectionist measures. 🙈🙊🙉

“‘There are no innocents in Gaza." Channel 14 is now accused by Israeli NGOs of broadcasting genocidal rhetoric, including calls to shoot civilians and starve Gaza’s population. Remember Radio Mille Collines in Rwanda. This is the equivalent. 💔💔💔 Where is our humanity

Happy May 1st to the 160+ countries celebrating today. Many of those are countries we are told not to like. Let’s not forget: International Workers’ Day was built on socialist and communist labor movements that shaped workers’ rights across the world.

In Denmark, a few soldiers are reportedly being dismissed not for incompetence or misconduct, but because they have family ties to Russia. A decorated officer with 43 years of service allegedly lost his security clearance because his wife was born in Russia. 🙉🙊🙈

Unpopular opinion 🫣 Forcing Hezbollah to disarm without consensus is not democratic. Many in the West may feel closer to Lebanon’s Christians or Druze, but Shiites now represent a large share of the population due to recent demographic shifts.

The Iranian government is now fact-checking the Trump administration on social media using reports from Axios. European leaders could do the same. But that requires political courage.

Sneak peek into the future... 🤖

Quick question for European leaders: If blocking the Strait of Hormuz is illegal, what about Ukraine disrupting Russian access in the Black Sea? Is maritime disruption only illegal when it hurts Western economies, but acceptable when it weakens Russia? Once again consistency is missing here.

⚠️ As the war slows, the narrative is already being rewritten. Israel and the U.S. carried out an illegal aggression under international law. Now people are told rising fuel prices are Iran’s fault. Don’t be fooled. The crisis began with an illegal attack. Propaganda must not erase reality.

Artists are leaders, because our leaders are complicit dealers. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Historian Arnold J. Toynbee described a recurring path to systemic collapse: 1) Visionary leaders build institutions. 2) Elites capture them. 3) Rules stop applying equally. 4) Corruption spreads. 5) Institutions serve themselves. 6) Trust erodes. 7) Crisis hits. 8) The system collapses.

United Arab Emirates announces its withdrawal from OPEC starting in May. This really looks like step one of a bigger plan. They are not doing this alone. Something is cooking behind the scenes that will eventually connect the dots... 🇺🇸🇻🇪🇸🇦🇦🇪

Will this trigger a reaction? We’ll be monitoring. Double standards vs credibility: the battle continues. So far, double standards are winning by far. 🔗 www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

As predicted, European leaders are now shifting. Yesterday, Friedrich Merz spoke about the U.S. being “humiliated” by Iran. The others will now follow, and we will call it historic! 🙈🙊🙉

Even daily war crimes are no longer enough to make us realize how badly we are failing... 🔗 www.msf.org/israel-uses-...

Interesting how many journalists proudly turning their time inside the hotel into dramatic stories. By feeding the spectacle, they reinforce the very politics many claim to oppose. Sensation comes before journalism. They behave like social media influencers, but do not want to admit it.

Do you remember the Israeli soldier who destroyed a statue of Jesus with a hammer a week ago? Well, in that exact same village, Israel has now destroyed vital solar panels...

Unpopular opinion 🫣 Saudi Arabia and the UAE might be far more dangerous for the world than Iran. They have no ethics. They only care about money. That’s why Trump likes them.

Turning an autocracy into a democracy is not like pulling a rabbit out of a hat. It is a slow process. People must truly believe that the cost of change will lead to a better future. That only works when democracies themselves look credible, trustworthy, and stable.

Our democracies destroyed the meaning of the word “ceasefire.” One day, we will pay the consequences.

A Soviet lecturer is giving a talk about capitalism: “In the United States, a man exploits another man.” He pauses, then adds: “In the Soviet Union, it’s exactly the opposite.” Happy Sunday 🙃

Condemning this while remaining silent about the 225+ journalists killed by a “democracy” in Lebanon and Gaza Strip is, once again, a clear double standard.

Low-key, today Iran showed the world how to react when someone sends Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff as “peace negotiators.”

In a few decades, Trumpism will not be remembered only for one man’s actions. It will be remembered as the moment international leaders chose fear and silence instead of taking clear positions. That cowardice will lead to landslide election losses, pushing extremism into power. Watch it unfold 🫣

What many of our leaders don’t understand is that fear and silence only strengthen extremists and autocrats. By refusing to take clear positions, they end up helping the very forces they claim to fight. It makes no sense... And won't end well. 🙈🙊🙉 🔗 edition.cnn.com/2026/04/24/m...

Meanwhile, far behind the frontline... 💔🇺🇦! www.euronews.com/business/202...

Btw what happened to the Board of Peace... Someone should check

Pedro Sánchez warns the EU is applying “double standards” between Ukraine and the Middle East. You cannot defend international law in Ukraine while ignoring it elsewhere. Credibility matters. Be like Spain 🇪🇸

Interesting question 🤔 We checked whether The Lego Group officially condemned the Iranian propaganda videos targeting Donald Trump. Surprisingly, they did not. Maybe this is Greenland and Denmark’s little revenge. Or simply know it’s free marketing. 🇩🇰🇬🇱

Interesting to see today’s wave of articles about the “Russian menace” and Russia’s “weakened economy.” The timing is no surprise. This EU loan is vital and Ukraine truly needs it. But wishful thinking narratives is not a war strategy. Stand with Ukraine on the ground, not only in speeches.

This guy... Cyprus allowed the UK to use its military bases to help the illegal U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. Then Iran retaliated. Now he is calling on the EU to defend him better. 🙃 www.rfi.fr/en/internati...

“Russia’s war economy is under growing strain, while Ukraine is getting a major boost.” As per Reuters, the war in Iran is nearly doubling Russia’s oil revenues to around $19B last month. And this only includes oil, not even gas. This loan matters for Ukraine. But wishful thinking don't help.

New war crime unlocked....

As per the Financial Times, Germany and France reportedly want to give Ukraine only limited EU integration, without full membership rights. But shhh 🤫 we don’t talk about that today, because it's a “historic” day.
