“..for the first time in my adult life, the moral and strategic heart of the defense of liberal democracy doesn’t beat in Washington[or] in London or Paris..It’s in Kyiv, where a courageous leader and a courageous people have picked up the torch America has dropped.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/o...

OTD Vor 40 Jahren ist Block 4 des Kernkraftwerks in Tschernobyl, Ukraine in die Luft geflogen. Auslöser war ein Sicherheitsscheck. 25 Jahre später folgte Fukushima 🔥 #History

1/2 Now incredible news from the bombardment of Crimea I was telling you about overnight. 3 warships, a MiG-31 fighter jet and air defence targets all hit according to this briefing given to Ukrainian media.

Running with stolen money, this brave anti-migration fighter.

More on the global grift: Hungary’s Péter Magyar: “Orbán-linked oligarchs are transferring tens of billions of forints to the United Arab Emirates, the United States, Uruguay, and other distant countries.” Oligarchs are the enemy everywhere.

@jimacosta.bsky.social remains undefeated.

For the first time since the war started Ukrainian drones have crossed the Ural Mountains to hit targets in Siberia.

Either this is just a squeaky toy for Trump to play with, which is never intended to be taken seriously by anyone else, or a worrying number of people in the administration *really* don't understand what NATO is or how it works.

Whilst we are witnessing the decline of an ‘empire’, we can at the same time observe the birth of a nation that will shape history far more than we can imagine today.

Current mood in Russia Their silly threats don´t impress anyone anymore, oil production down, Tuapse still burning, loss of mil personnel very high, economy on the brink - Ukraine is winning 💛💙💪 Jay makes good vids 👇

Very emotional! When a Ukrainian father, returning from the front, waits outside his daughter's school 💙💛

Executive Director of the International Energy Agency Dr Fatih Birol: “We are facing the biggest threat to energy security in history.”

☀️ Great in-depth analysis by @atpgeo.bsky.social on the global rise of renewable energy ✔️ 2025 renewables have supasssed coal energy ✔️ EVs now cheaper than petrol cars ✔️ battery tech breakthroughs (1,500km range in 6 minutes) ✔️ renewables saved $ UK 1 bn in gas imports.. ▶️ youtu.be/t89e_DgHqYE?...

‼️ Russia: “"Economic conditions are deteriorating." Farmers from 65 regions have asked authorities for state support.” Note: The trend has been that the government continues to cut support even as things get worse ru.themoscowtimes.com/2026/04/22/e...

We'll remember this as American citizens saying one thing but allowing their government to do something else because they don't really care

Former European Council Chief Charles Michel publicly countered Ursula von der Leyen after she referenced Turkish influence alongside Russia and China. Michel highlighted Türkiye as a core NATO ally, energy hub, and migration partner, calling for realism in EU policy.

Christ, Americans drive me mad. They have to comment on every single sentence uttered by that lunatic who runs the asylum. Save your energy and take to the streets. In my country (GER), there would have been a civil war long ago, and France would burn 🔥🔥🔥 No offense, but seriously... #actionaction

#Europe - Today the EU Commission presented its comprehensive #AccelerateEU plan to address rising energy costs + further reduce dependency on fossil fuel markets. EU wants to speed up the transition to renewables but the plan is weak - if not even a joke. energy.ec.europa.eu/strategy/acc...

#Germany Everyone - and I mean everyone - warned Chancellor Merz that mimicking the far-right AfD would only win them more votes. Merz did it anyway, and now the AfD is the strongest party in Germany 😣 #Europe could be facing very difficult times ahead.

Hm... 1917 prevented the Constituent Assembly from taking place after the February Revolution and brought an authoritarian, then totalitarian regime. Russia already has that.

From 1 May, Russia will cut off supplies of Kazakh crude oil to eastern #Germany (Schwedt refinery). This amounts to 43,000 barrels per day. Pretty BIG shit. That happens when ppl listen to far right wingers 💩 and don´t invest in renewables but believe the Putins of this world are their friends.

Of course they are concentration camps. And @anatosaurus.bsky.social is right that once you accept the euphemism you are halfway to normalizing the thing.

Putin must be so proud of himself for the impact he has had on the U.S.

Soon you will end, my 'friend' 😉 Slava Ukraini 💪 💛💙 #Ukraine

Russians literally choking on their own oil is the ultimate justice. In the resort town of Tuapse as well as surrounding areas, all surfaces are covered by toxic oil residue as the giant oil refinery continues to burn. Deep breaths, everything will be OK. 💞

Big Tech has always been evil, but they used to be evil in the standard capitalist way: That is, they used altruistic promises to make your life better to hide their own greed and lust for power. Now they're just like: 'We will rule over you serfs and what the fuck do you want to do about it?'

Putin’s best ROI - Donald Trump.

Minutes ago #Iran said, the Straight of Hormuz stays closed The irony of history is that it is a poor, despotic Middle Eastern theocracy that brings down the US 'empire'. Meanwhile, Trump wanted to award himself the Medal of Honour 😆 What a farce. #TrumpIsAnIdidot

A particularly important weekly summary by @phillipspobrien.bsky.social: European strategic realignment with Ukraine, Ukraine becoming a central player, snd reitersting who is calling the shots in the depraved American administration. Hint: it is NOT the despicable waste of space JD Vance.

Palantir is a quasi-fundamentalist subversive right-wing movement with a stock symbol

Palantir is also claiming in this same statement that Germany went too far in constructing its postwar identity around guilt for the Holocaust, which is the exact narrative that the German far-right is running on and winning in elections.

Palantir put plans for techno-fascism in a document. Like a techno-fascist manifesto with themselves at the center. Features fascistic distortions of language and declarations of inherent superiority that should be acknowledged and made permanent, but driven by and with a more central role for tech.

A new social media infrastructure platform was launched in Europe on Thursday. It promises users complete control over their data and aims to compete with companies such as Meta and X. #eurosky
