L’ambassadeur américain Bill White menace Conner Rousseau de sanctions diplomatiques
L’ambassadeur américain exige des excuses de Conner Rousseau, sans lesquelles des sanctions diplomatiques pourraient être prises, selon le « Nieuwsblad ».
Now the 🇺🇸 ambassador to 🇧🇪 is threatening to destroy the life of the leader of the main centre-left party in Belgium with 🇺🇸sanctions (could no longer use credit cards etc) because he criticised what ICE is doing.
And yet these people have the nerve to say it is Europe threatening free speech.

Elon saying: Grok 4.20 is BASED.
The only AI that doesn’t equivocate when asked if America is on stolen land.
The others are weak sauce.
Then he shows images of Grok, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude all answering the same question. Grok just says, effectively, conquest is cool, there's no such thing as stolen land. The other three basically say "yo, that question is too simplistic, and there's a lot of nuance, which we'll explain, giving the different arguments."
Elon retweeting Katie Miller. Elon just says "Grok." Miller says:
Should Critical Race Theory be taught in be in schools?
Grok is the only AI to say NO.
4.20 is BASED.
But what she's saying is not accurate. Like the pervious image, Grok gives a simplistic an useless answer, while the others explain how the question itself is pretty loaded, and you have to actually understand the nuances to understand how to answer the question.
Kinda weird that Elon is promoting Grok giving empirically less useful answers. All the others explain the context and the different viewpoints. Whereas Grok is trained to be "here's the bigot's view only."

What’s one way we can rein in ICE?
We can start by boycotting ICE’s corporate collaborators that are profiting from the agency’s cruelty.
Watch.

Hours before peace talks in Geneva, virtually all of democratic Ukraine is under threat of attack by fascist Russia’s drones and missiles, yet Trump doesn’t criticize Kremlin dictator Putin - it’s “Ukraine better come to the table.”
America has fallen so very far, so very fast.

Zelensky hinting that, once again, the US might be delaying the supply of anti air missiles to Ukraine, so as to help Russia.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

One thing I think abt a lot: Just imagine how well the economy would be doing if Trump hadn’t spent all of last year trashing the great economy he inherited? Tariffs, huge govt layoffs, slashing research/medical/science spending, torturing US cities with immigration raids. Economy would be humming!

Das Schweizer Magazin @republik.ch leistet wichtige Arbeit - ich bin sehr froh, dass es Medien wie dieses gibt, (und dass ich immer mal wieder dort schreiben kann). Jetzt verklagt Palantir das Magazin wegen seiner Recherchen zur Firma - unterstützt “Republik” finanziell, wenn ihr könnt.

Folgt @republik.ch!
Das unabhängige Schweizer Medium wird für kritische Berichterstattung von Palantir verklagt.

A short note to Kristi Noem
To a current Cabinet secretary from a former one
The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies.
Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.

So schlimm der Applaus im Raum für Rubio war, umso beruhigter bin ich, dass wirklich alle von mir konsumierten Medien von Süddeutsche bis FAZ die Rede richtig und kritisch kommentiert haben.

🪑 Jaap de Hoop Scheffer was the NATO Secretary General at the time. He sat front row: "I remember that I felt off balance listening to what Vladimir Putin had to tell us. It was hard and 'Cold War' like uncompromising language." (4/9)

↔️ Then-President of Estonia, @ilvestoomas.bsky.social, noticed something else: "The audience’s response to the speech strikes me to this day as the first real public manifestation of fundamental differences between Eastern and Western European perceptions of Russia and Putin." (7/9)

I will continue to beat this drum: this is not about what happens on Election Day, but afterwards.
The key tell is her articulation of the core MAGA belief that the legitimacy of elections is entirely determined by the results: if they win, it’s legitimate; if they lose, it’s not.

Rubio has a personal interest in saying nice(ish) things to Europe; the Trump administration as a whole has a strong interest in Europe not acting on the rupture the White House has created. None of this means an actual change of direction in US foreign policy.

I realize media doesn’t think it’s a big deal that Trump, Vance & Hegseth continue to give partisan political speeches to troops, evidenced by the fact that they are never asked about it nor are members of Congress, but it is one of the most dangerous things happening right now.

NETZPOLITIK: Peter Thiel steht so ziemlich gegen alle Werte, die wir heute mit einer liberalen, freiheitlichen und sozialen Demokratie verbinden. Er bekämpft diese Werte aktiv mit seinem Einfluss und seinem riesigen Vermögen. Er ist ein Feind der Demokratie.

Das ist keine ideologische Debatte.
Es geht um staatliche Kontrolle über kritische Verteidigungstechnologie.
Wer Europa schützen will, darf das nicht in dubiose Netzwerke auslagern.
Firmen, deren Investoren unsere Werte angreifen, können nicht zu unserem Schutz beitragen.

UPDATE:
Wochenlang hieß es von STARK: Thiel sei nur „kleiner Investor“ ohne Einfluss.
Nun investiert er erneut – kurz vor dem 300 Mio. € Deal.
Das Parlament wurde über seine Rolle getäuscht.
MAGA kauft sich in unsere Verteidigung ein – kassiert aus Sondervermögen & Haushalt.
