The EU’s worst nightmare has never looked so real If the far right gains control of parliament in the EU’s second-largest country, Europe will fundamentally change.

VERDAD-ero: A new A.I. app monitors Spanish-language radio's chronic misinformation Misinformation remains a problem on Spanish-language radio in Latino communities like Miami's, but monitoring it is a time-consuming challenge. Could a new A.I. tool be a better watchdog?

“Our department is trying to improve, but we have had several failed searches in recent years because candidates don’t want to move to #Florida because of the broad political climate and the fact that tenure protections functionally no longer exist here”

Spanish-language misinformation on Los Angeles protests pushes a familiar theme Posts using fake images and baseless claims have sought to connect protests to left-wing Latin American governments, similar to misinformation that has swirled around previous news events.

Pro-tip (and I can’t believe this still has to be said): people, when traveling, please - please! - do not wear perfumes/colognes/scented lotions.

Thank you

The CBC has called #Canada ‘s election for the Liberals, setting #Carney to remain as PM🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

The Trump effect is real, detrimental to not only Conservatives, but also Bloc Québécois and the NDP. All having significant losses to Liberals.

Мицкоски денес: “Или #Македонија или мафијата”

Се надевам дека таа прекрасна земја конечно ќе се ослободи од злото што ја мачи 34 години

Дали политичарите ќе ја имаат потребната храброст?

#Vučić using Macedonian burn victims as political props is deplorable

Even worse? Doctors allowed this to happen, knowing their vulnerability to infection

My family’s town of Kočani is devastated, Macedonia is on the brink & this clown needs a photo op because he botched the response to Novi Sad

YouTube video by BBC News Video reveals moment Macedonia nightclub caught fire claiming 59 lives | BBC News

The devastating nightclub fire at Kočani in North Macedonia has had a huge impact on the small town. Fewer than 25 thousand residents - more than 250 deaths and injuries. Almost everyone is affected. I spent the day there for BBC News. youtu.be/5Db8ih7c61Y

This is my family’s hometown. In communicating with family and friends there, I cannot begin to describe the anger that the entire city feels atop profound grief.

YouTube video by Телма ТВ / Telma TV Мицкоски: Мора да има кривична одговорност за сите инволвирани

Се надевам дека конeчно ќе видиме строги и неопходни промени во Македонската култура во однос на корупцијата и правдата

Македонскиот народ три децении чека држава која функционира „како што треба“. Можеби 59 убиени луѓе - повеќето деца - конечно ќе донесат промени

The 1st duty of a state is to protect life

When the state allows for nearly untethered corruption à la “don’t worry, I know a guy”, it’s a dereliction of duty

All of Macedonia & Macedonians everywhere wear black today, especially those of us from Kočani

(2/2)

5) TV Pink spreading propaganda, saying Croatians are rejoicing

6) Says there were only 100,000 protesters, not 1.5 million

The rest is rinse/repeat from his previous pressers after massive protests - elections (suggested), he needs to make changes

In short: he feels secure in his place

To recap #Vučić’s presser (1/2)

1) protests are costing the state too much money (millions), so just stop

2) “protest tourism” has infiltrated #Serbia

3) only the rich (elites) were out protesting, not the poor

4) how dare the you, the public, believe a sound cannon was used - how dare you

#Vučić is the linchpin to nearly all nefarious political operations & intentions in Europe

If these largest-in-Serbian-history protests succeed, his resignation will be a game changer for #Serbia, the #Balkans & #Europe

Pray the opposition is organized & ready to go

Bravo, hrabri mladi ljudi!

You either have a mandate or you don’t

And if you don’t, then you need to compromise

And if you don’t and you decide not to compromise, then you don’t get to cry foul when your spending bill doesn’t pass

#Carney isn’t Trudeau

Carney is a financial whiz, evidenced by #Canada’s move re:bonds

Carney has united Canadians, including the Québécois

Carney even has Ford declaring he’s a fan

Meanwhile, #Poilievre built his entire political following by imitating Trump

This is why the #Liberals will win

The Trump administration’s focus on states from the former Yugoslavia is unnerving, particularly as videos emerge showing Viktor Knavs (Melanija’s father) spending considerable time in the Oval with his son-in-law

Ominous

#Canada’s CBC Janyce McGregor bringing some logic to the #tariff mess (paraphrasing):

If #Trump isn’t going to play by the rules and not honor agreements or cherry pick what he honors, why would anyone rationally waste time in negotiations with him

Remind us please how many ceasefires Putin has actually observed and respected

Aesthetically, the Admirals Lounge at O’Hare is infinitly better than DCA

But scoop-wise: no competition.

I remember when our #Canadian neighbo(u)rs sang our anthem in solidarity after 9/11

I grew up in a border state (#Michigan)/city (#Detroit). We lived in a beautiful, respectful bubble with #Windsor and #Ontario, at large

What’s ahead for U.S.-Canada border-dependent communities? Chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton speaks with Michigan Rep. Haley Stevens about the American perspective on Trump’s tariffs. Also, Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens discusses how these tariffs wi...

Because of Trump’s #tariffs on #Canada, it’s projected that #Michigan industries will begin to collapse by week’s end

MI & #Ontario are tied in every way possible, across numerous industries

This will devastate real people
