Just days after a group of Trump-aligned billionaires officially took over TikTok in the U.S., users reported their videos criticizing ICE and the shooting of Alex Pretti were suppressed or delayed.

The oligarchy is tightening its grip over even more of our media.

Beware.

Russia has become even more of an economic vassal of China.

Russia is forced to offer China deep discounts on oil due to few other sales options, and now they have to sell gold to China to make up for the money lost in those discounts.

Russian sovereignty is disappearing fast.

In 2025, 1,348 attacks were carried out on medical facilities, resulting in the deaths of 1,981 people.

Сьогодні рік з того дня, як росіяни вбили мого тата. Він не був медійним, він не був популярним і його імені майже ніхто не знає. Але я хочу, аби ви завжди пам'ятали про нього і сьогодні згадали його, як справжнього захисника і героя.

Farlig demagogi fra Trygve Slagsvold Vedum Det er i strid med Norges interesser å underslå realitetene – og det gjør det ikke bedre at det kommer fra en politiker som sier han vil fremme Norges interesser.

Her kritiserer jeg Trygve Slagsvold Vedum for å underslå realitetene om Norges forhold til EU når det gjelder energipolitikk – og hvorfor dette er ekstra problematisk, gitt den farlige geopolitiske situasjonen vi står overfor. 🧵1/2

When we talk about disinformation, we often imagine lies, bots, or fake news.

🇺🇦 December 2018. On the main square of Pokrovsk, Donetsk region, 2,888 Ukrainians simultaneously sang "Shchedryk", setting a national record.

Peace without justice is not peace.

“Peace without justice is just a pause before the next war.”
The list of Russian crimes is endless — and ignoring them only invites repetition.

😡 Russia legalizes mass confiscation of housing in occupied territories!

A law was passed in Russia that allows the occupation authorities to declare housing "ownerless" and then transfer it to new users. This mechanism will be in effect until 2030.

Nxh7 looks good. Followed with Qh4+ and then Re7.

Trump, Putin, Xi & Musk all want the EU to be destroyed, because a divided Europe will be an easy prey to be picked apart and subjugated by the world's authoritarian states. It will become a contested region in which the authoritarian empires will seek to extend their areas of influence and control.

😡🇰🇵 Russia takes some kidnapped Ukrainian children to North Korea and keeps them in military camps.

Representative of Human Rights Center, Kateryna Rashevska, stated in the US Senate.

165 facilities have already been identified in TOT and in Russia, where children are Russified and militarized.

Russia is going to devote 40% of its budget to destroying its neighbors, not for bettering its schools or improving life for its people. Instead the money will be spent on building a more destructive drone and sending more men to their death.

This is who the US wants to do business with.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

As Russia's economy crumbles, they are now stuck in a tax trap to keep funding the war.

Oil revenue is way down, so VAT has been increased and many new taxes were added. But these will decrease spending (and thus tax revenue), meaning higher taxes...🔄

And GDP goes splat.📉🫟
