This is seriously alarming and it’s thanks to the Andrew Tates of this world. Pay attention to what your kids are consuming online; it matters. It shapes who they often become.

"When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

Fascinante évolution, en 5 ans à peine:
- Pré-2022: les hélico, arme offensive par excellence, longue vie au gunship!
- 2022-2025: hélico, finito; trop vulnérable, drones font pareil pour moins cher
-2025-?: pas si cher finalement pour casser du drone; arme défensive de choix, longue vie au gunship!

The whole war is a crime

But need more facts to assess whether individual attacks are war crimes

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

Americans Are Now a Target in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown A WSJ investigation tracked the U.S. citizens caught in the crosshairs of an aggressive federal campaign to detain and demonize dissenters.

Isn’t the right to protest what makes America great? an American in the back of a government vehicle asked the agent who had just arrested her.

No, the agent responded.

Inside the Department of Homeland Security’s war on American dissent.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:

You may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed.

We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.

We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

An Epidemic of ‘Victory Disease’ The president is pointing to the American military’s excellence as though that somehow constitutes a strategy in itself.

For years, strategists have warned national leaders against the temptations of "victory disease," the belief that winning battles means they're winning the war. Leaders throughout history have made this mistake, and Trump seems to be making it now.

Russia was behind parcel fires in UK and Europe, investigators say The attacks, which involved self-igniting packages, targeted couriers in Poland, Germany and at a DHL depot in the UK in 2024.

Se rend-on bien compte que des colis piégés explosent aux 4 coins de l’Europe, à l’instigation du renseignement 🇷🇺? Le problème du concept de “guerre hybride”, c’est qu’on ne sait plus dire où s’arrête la fameuse zone grise. À quel moment on prend acte de la confrontation? www.bbc.com/news/article...
