American tech companies are not truly concerned about censorship, as they happily operate in countries with strict regulations. You never hear the Trump administration complain about Saudi Arabia, Russia, or China. This is about bullying Europe, nothing more

This is accurate. Russia has succeeded very well in convincing media in Europe and the UK that the conflict is far more one-sided in Russia’s favour than is genuinely the case - and that contributes to the assumption that it should be settled in Russia’s favour sooner rather than later.

Sort på hvidt: Trump-administrationen siger, at europæisk civilisation står over for udslettelse

This account on Twitter has 1.3 million followers. All of these generic MAGA accounts are operated by Russians or people in SE Asia being paid to post. American democracy has been captured by Russia.

It's the moment when he takes the medal out of the box and puts it on himself for me. That's one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen lol. He's so desperate to get it.

"Too many European governments still behave as if losing Ukraine would be unfortunate but manageable. This is fantasy. The destruction of Ukraine would reshape Europe’s security architecture for decades, and not in Europe’s favour." Strong message by @drjademcglynn.bsky.social.

Ukraine has started systematically targeting oil tankers in Russia's shadow fleet. This is a dramatic new development in the maritime war, and it can have big consequences both for the war and internationally. Watch my analysis here.

America first.

On Facebook, you could sexually solicit minors 17 times before being kicked out... or you could just post a passage from Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams, describing Zuckerberg's obsequious conduct with Xi Jinping, and then get kicked out instantly. www.thedailybeast.com/lawsuit-alle...

Although the scale of this is still to be assessed, this is the inevitable outcome of the monetization of the algorithm. Rage-bait becomes a personal revenue model. Nothing about this should be a surprise.

In honour of its proponents, I suggest that the Dmitriev-Witkoff proposal should henceforth be called the Dim-Wit Plan

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

In plain terms, the United States aligned itself with Russia against Ukraine and NATO. By transmitting Moscow’s surrender terms unedited and pressuring Kyiv to accept them, the Trump Regime effectively sided with Russia in the war and attempted to force Ukraine’s capitulation. It is betrayal.

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...

With his ultimatum that Ukraine surrender to Russia, Trump finally wins a prize: The Neville Chamberlain award for betraying peace, freedom, and justice.

In my work, democracy isn’t a regime type. It’s the set of conditions that let a society check what’s true, argue about it, and hold power to account. When that system breaks, the label on the regime stops telling you anything useful.

Helpful reminder that both Kyiv and its European partners can safely ignore Trump's pushes for a bad peace deal.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

The difference is subtle, but see if you can spot it.

And remember that Trump pardoned and commuted the sentences of Jan. 6th extremists convicted of seditious conspiracy. For Trump, attacking the U.S. Capitol on his behalf isn’t sedition, but encouraging fidelity to the U.S. Constitution is.

I think the American public has the right to see the secret protocols of the Witkoff-Dmitriev pact. What business deals have been agreed?

BLOOMBERG REPORTER: “If there’s nothing incriminating in the Epstein files why not…?” TRUMP: “Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.” 😕

After a short hiatus on YouTube, I am back with a Q&A video. I discuss missiles, Russia's war economy, who is winning the war, and whether Denmark can close the straits to Russian ships. Watch it here.

Thanks for saying it out loud Commissioner @andriuskubilius.ec.europa.eu 🙏🏻 🇺🇦 needs to be integrated into European security and defence structures right now! 🇺🇸 continues to obstruct 🇺🇦 NATO membership. That means NATO is obsolete, unfortunately. That’s the reality!

Allies are assets, you idiots. Voluntary alliances were a crucial factor in winning WWII and the Cold War—dealing with just about any problem, really. A big reason China is gaining is the US picked fights with nearly everyone at once, instead of rallying partners to confront China together. Fools.

Today, Californians joined millions nationwide to say loud and clear: NO to authoritarianism. NO to assaulting our democracy. NO to censorship and fear. NO to hate and division. NO to corruption and cruelty. NO to kings. YES to a government by and for the people. time.com/7326801/no-k...

The war zone in Portland is out of control.

Take this for example: the AfD lost plenty of local elections in East Germany. But it did not make the news. Media competing for clicks is one big part of the problem. And media outlets whose owners have their own agenda. www.volksverpetzer.de/aktuelles/bl...

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Tim Walz: "We're in a massive misinformation campaign. The president himself tweeting out AI videos of fake news reports on healthcare. This is really dangerous.

From Rasmus Jarlov, chair of Denmark’s Defence Committee:

One of the reasons why the FBI is supposed to be apolitical is because Americans need to have trust that investigations into atrocities like this morning are competent and removed from politics. Instead, now that the FBI is highly politicized, half the country will not trust anything they say.

From 3 days to ‘2 hours’… To paraphrase Shakespeare: “There's something rotten in Russia,” and the Russians know it. Very eye-opening clip considering it was broadcast on Russian TV.
