🇩🇪 The federal government and all 16 Länder have confirmed Matrix-based (@matrix.org) ZaPuK as a cornerstone of the Deutschland-Stack - the sovereign digital platform that will unify government communications by 2028.

Today’s headlines are all about POO-tihn admitting for the first time that russia is facing fuel shortages following months of Ukrainian strikes deep inside the country. The obvious has finally become official.

Guillaume and Pierre at Salon Souveraineté Numérique in Paris today. 👋 We’re at stand B06 if you’re there - come and talk to us about how digital sovereignty needs an interoperable open standard.

@amandine.bsky.social on stage at Salon Souveraineté Numérique today. She joined a panel to discuss "Digital Europe: How do we break the chains of technological dependency?" Digital sovereignty is the theme of the event - and we believe it needs an interoperable open standard to work.

Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes! Saturday protest in Tbilisi, Georgia #GeorgiaProtests #TerrorinGeorgia 🇬🇪🇺🇦

Yesterday, the police were basically working as bodyguards, protecting some millionaire or government official from the crowd. We asked who they were protecting and why, and the answer was, "We don't know." When the police turn into a dictator's personal security detail, the country has no future 🥺

I’m faster than cheetahs!

The parallels between MAGA on the far right fighting centrists and the DSA on the far left fighting moderate Democrats are striking, and reminiscent of the Weimar Republic. There, the communists chose the social democrats as their main enemy, thereby unwittingly helping the Nazis destroy democracy.

Someone may or may not want to hear this. We’ll definitely see how it goes. 😉

#Qalibaf filmed himself throwing Uni students, hands tied from roofs in The Bloody Student Protests 1999. Ordered gunfire be used against them, 2003 as #Iran's police chief, ‘proud’ to beat protesters with batons "$5 billion+ of #Tehran’s municipal funds stolen as Mayor” @radiofarda.com.web.brid.gy

New piece which describes how Ukraine has turned Crimea from a strategic asset for Russia into what is now a strategic liability that can lead to a death-loop of Russian strength. It’s been a methodical process, years in the making, and it is paying real dividends. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

When one of the loudest pro-russian voices in the US praises DSA member Darializa Avila Chevalier for her anti-Ukraine/pro-russia stance, it is akin to her receiving a seal of approval for her fervent support of russian imperialism in politics. Or, as he puts it, 'left-wing dissent on Ukraine'.

I wrote about the continued appeal of dirtbag politics, from the left to liberals, and how only a politics of grace and edification can save our liberal democracy Dirtbagism delenda est www.liberalcurrents.com/the-dirtbags...

Modern-day Marxists such as the Mamdani-endorsed Daraliza Chevalier/DSA view Ukraine as a puppet of the 'Western war machine'. Such russian influence operations have been ongoing since the USSR first influenced the peace movement and US intellectuals in the 20th century, sowing division in the West.

Tucker Carlson isn't quitting the GOP. Let's not be like MAGA, who believes a lie just because it feels good. Here's my thoughts, under 2 minutes, on what's really going on with his attention-grabbing stunt. youtube.com/shorts/VVCrG...

On the evening of October 7 public celebrations broke out around the world at the largest slaughter of Jews since WWII. The celebrators carried flags, professionally printed signs and were crying genocide before Israel had taken one action. Obvious astroturfing that people pretend was organic.

Some who want to stop aid to Ukraine love to parade a single, out-of-context Gallup slide that could be interpreted as evidence a majority of Ukrainians want to surrender to russian demands in exchange for "peace". But actual research shows this isn't the case: academic.oup.com/jpr/article/...

💥Three years ago, Prigozhin’s Wagner Group rose up against Moscow. Hungary’s foreign minister Péter Szijjártó quickly called his friend and colleague Sergey Lavrov in concern. Here's a previously unpublished Szijjártó-Lavrov call from @vsquare.bsky.social and partners' Kremlin Hotline investigation.

Things are getting ugly in Beirut.

New from me: Bari Weiss's Free Press has been amplifying the lie that "Biden's open borders policy" pushed thousands of kids into sex slavery -- and that Trump is now rushing to rescue them. What Trump is actually doing: separating kids from their families, jailing them, and deporting them.

When officials insist there is no fuel shortage while simultaneously introducing measures to protect fuel supplies, observers are entitled to ask questions.

People who don't have cats always say “Oh, but they are so independent & aloof." Then why is my cat trying to break down my bathroom door when I’m taking a shower?

Not one peep from Leftists, Progressives or the media.😒 Only Israel and AIPAC is coming out of their mouth. www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

I'm sorry, but if you don't see the danger to the Dem Party and American democracy (and fail to see the MAGA takeover equivalents) of electing people like Chevalier and Platner, and mobbing Scott Weiner at a pride event, you are unserious.

Uni at 4 months old :3

#Caturday is mandatory.

There’s no trial I can’t overcome…

He kept roaring in the car and in the waiting room… That’s our strongest! Uni will be okay. Thank you all so much for your kind words!

Poland has just recorded its hottest June day in history and forecasters say the worst may be yet to come. Temperatures in the western town of Słubice hit 38.9°C on Saturday, surpassing the previous June record and marking a new milestone in the country’s climate records.

I knew it was coming for 3 years that those who come after Jewish people would come after Hindus Watch and watch again

“The Anthropologist Deconstructing Antizionism A Yale-trained anthropologist, Adam Louis-Klein emerged from the Amazon to find his academic world celebrating a hate movement. He is using his background in anthropology to fight antizionism.” aish.com/the-anthropo...

🤯 Ukraine carried out at least 13 long-range strikes against Russian defense-industrial facilities in June, the highest monthly total recorded this year. 🔗 united24media.com/war-in-ukrai...

Removing the hyphen in antizionism is actually crucial. The sooner newspapers and outlets begin incorporating this into their copyediting—even simply as an accepted option—the sooner we can generate a real shift in combating the antizionist hate movement.
