✈️🔥 Remember when Russia’s million-dollar missiles targeted our supermarkets and homes? Well, our affordable Ukrainian drones just turned Russia’s pricey A-60 “flying experiment” into ashes right in #Taganrog! 🚁💥From #spiderweb operations to knocking out dozens of strategic bombers, Russia is losing.

Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Here's a seven-point peace plan:

Russia’s Central Bank found a 10 trillion ruble black hole in unpaid loans. That’s 24% of the entire Russian budget gone. Another reason why the #Kremlin is desperately pushing for a “peace” deal to save itself. We didn’t surrender in 2022, we won’t in 2025 — Russia is weaker and poorer than ever.

On the leaked and thus not-so-secret US-Russia ”peace plan”: I have read nothing to indicate that it’s any different this time than in February/March, May, and August. The Trump admin is serving the same nothingburger for the fourth time. Media and analysts haven’t learned to see through the noise.

This is Serhii Vlasenko, a rescuer from Kyiv. Here he stands among the ruins of his own home — destroyed by a russian drone last night. His family survived only because they reached the shelter in time.

Voorstraat in Utrecht: a true fietsstraat where bikes come first and cars are guests. It’s not just safer and more relaxed to cycle - the whole street benefits. Outdoor cafés, quieter homes, and a vibrant public space. When you design for people, cities flourish.

Just some British patriots in Benidorm, taking over a street in Spain to shout in their own language about unwanted foreigners. It’s a blessing that they are too thick to understand irony.

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative. The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

Many in politics and media are trapped on X/Twitter, a latter-day Plato's cave, mistaking projected shadows for reality. No social media platform can be perfect - the 'social' bit ensures that - as people are also not perfect. But some platforms are better than others.

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

The continued presence of the government and public institutions on X should no longer be a matter of debate. It should simply be a matter of shame.

This is a "recommended" tweet pushed to a (very much not-Nazi) contact's iPhone lockscreen last week. Who knows how many millions it was pushed to by Musk's platform, including in this case, in the UK? It's now been deleted, but only after getting thousands of RTs.

The US government has officially opened Bluesky accounts and their messaging so far is as unprofessional, juvenile, and deceitful as you would expect. Don't let this cult of fascists steal your peace on this site. Sub to the blocklist and steal some of their power. 👇

“I’ll declare war on you if you don’t give me the peace prize” is an incredible bit

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America
