Don't shut up, apparently this is very real. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Wow, it's almost as if the supposedly crazy conspiracy theory that mainstream media wouldn't touch - that the Kremlin has kompromat on Donald Trump through his ties to pedophile sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and this explains his tepid support for Ukraine - is actually true.

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

The now deleted death threat tweet by China's consul sent in response to PM Takahashi's stmnt about the existential threat from a Chn war against Taiwan. Consul said sth like: “We have no choice but to cut off that dirty head that wantonly charged in without a moment's hesitation. Are y'all ready?”

When Ukrainian soldiers are wounded in action, Russian drones target both them and the people who come to rescue them. Join me in a fundraising campaign for vehicles with drone-jamming equipment. snyder.substack.com/p/freedom-is...

"Kazakh boy & Chinese girl grow up together in China’s vast northeast"-but "she is choosing modernity, he tradition" thefilmverdict.com/the-botanist/ Why does The Film Verdict omit how #Kazakh children are being forced to be Chinese, in genocidal boarding schools? The film is clearly propaganda.

China intimidated UK university to ditch human rights research www.bbc.com/news/article... Shame on SHU for caving to Chinese intimidation. Even if they backed off when they were duly warned by the UK govt. But how many such horror cases of selfcensorship by universities go undetected, out of fear?

I really love how whatsapp, the only viable alternative to telegram, just shuts down Ukrainian voices for no reason so I guess we just stay on our tnt barrel but hey at least we have circle video messages

At a minimum the public is owed a more thorough explanation than what’s offered in the bishop’s letter

"Halloween parade float from Saint Joseph Catholic school in Hanover, PA included a replica of the Auschwitz Concentration Camp gate, bearing the words Arbeit Macht Frei." Mindboggling how these Americans admire Hitler -- after their grandfathers dies in a world war to defeat the very same Hitler.

Bari Weiss’ inexperience and her eagerness to boost her political opinions over her network’s reporting are all reasons to be concerned about her tenure at CBS News. But there's also something else to be worried about: artificial intelligence.

The US has revoked the visa of a Nobel Prize winner in literature after the author called President Trump "Idi Amin in whiteface." Nigerian Wole Soyinka, 91, said the US consulate told him to bring in his passport so it could be canceled in person. www.bbc.com/news/article...

⚡️Update: At least 12 injured, including 4 children, following Russian drone attack on residential buildings in Kyiv. The number of injured victims stemming from Russia's overnight drone attack on Kyiv has risen to 12, including four children, officials reported.

Our new documentary, "The War The Play," follows the victims of Russian occupation as they recount the coercion, threats, and lies told by the occupying authorities that endangered their and their children's lives. Watch the documentary: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZGm...

Today, an estimated 1.6 million Ukrainian children remain in territories occupied by Russia. Cut off from Ukraine's education system, they are exposed daily to Russian propaganda, militarization, and pressure to abandon their national identity.

Short #thread on the recent news in Canada: Government memo directly compared Canada's past residential schools to China's current genocide of the Uyghurs; urged China not to repeat Canada's past mistakes: www.rebelnews.com/cabinet_like... This comparison is correct, but needs clarification. 1/x

Why did Indiana University attack and cut its own student newspaper? Well, in a twist of irony any English professor would call clichéd, it turns out IU did it because they were angry about the students' reporting on a FIRE report naming IU as the worst public university for free speech in the US.

NEW: The People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Indian oil companies are reportedly significantly reducing direct purchases of Russian oil in the short term, and the European Union (EU) passed its 19th sanctions package against Russia, primarily targeting the Russian energy sector. 🧵(1/8)

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

"Xilinhot, a city in Inner Mongolia, announced plans to collect blood samples to update an identification database [...]" China collected DNA and blood samples in the Uyghur Region in 2017, building a highly problematic database for surveillance. www.business-standard.com/world-news/c...

COMMENTARY: Donald Trump’s designs on Greenland challenge international law regarding territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders. And the Danes are right: If the US president presses ahead in Greenland, others can and will follow elsewhere.

“No Kings” protests were about as wholesome as you could imagine. But that hasn’t stopped top Republicans from thoroughly melting down over its success. Case in point: President Trump posted an AI video of himself wearing a crown and dropping raw sewage on protesters from a military plane..

Poignant observations on where the US is going, in the aftermath of the revelations of rising pro-Hitler sentiments among Young Republicans

Netherlands-based student Hu Yang returned to China to visit family, was detained by police, accused of "making trouble" over something he said. The same regime that kidnapped and detained Swedish citizen #GuiMinhai for 10 years now. The same regime that runs the Uyghur genocide. But "dialogue"!
