Norway did the math: Arm Ukraine to win, or pay double when Russia does A new study finds Europe faces a simple choice: back Ukraine now for half the price, or pay far more later to deter a stronger Russia.

„Arm Ukraine to win costs: €522-838 billion. Let Russia win and rearm Europe: €1.2-1.6 trillion—double the cost. Plus 6-11 million additional refugees.“

You can’t fix this inside schools alone, because students learn critical thinking in class, then enter online spaces that punish it. Skills without a supportive environment fade, so if the system rewards noise, the slow process of careful verification doesn't count for much.

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

The new U.S. National Security Strategy aims to operationalise what is called the Vance–Trump Doctrine—treating Europe, its liberal democratic model, and the EU’s rule-of-law institutions as strategic obstacles rather than partners. This is a profound shift. It’s time to pay attention.

EU Issues €120m Fine to X Under Digital Services Act, Musk Has Public Meltdown A European Commission investigation has resulted in a €120 million fine against X, formerly Twitter, for breaches of the Digital Services Act, including failures in verification, advertising transpare...

X being fined by the EU is not a free speech issue. It is a security issue. Musk’s opposition to regulation is driven by the fact that he is backed by authoritarian regimes and is protecting their influence ops, which erode our democratic discourse.

Je zou hopen dat na de publicatie van het strategiedocument op alle mediaredacties aankomt dat rechtsradicale opinies niet ook nog zomaar een mening zijn, maar voor ons een existentiële dreiging zijn. De politiek is existentieel geworden.

En ik denk dat juist door een seksistische bias men dat niet wil inzien. Zij is best een aantrekkelijke vrouw, dus willen we haar liever verslijten voor dom dan doortrapt.

Children were among at least 23 people reported killed in fighting in eastern DR Congo, just a day after the signing of a US-backed peace agreement between the leaders of the DRC and neighbouring Rwanda.

Trump warns Europe faces ‘civilizational erasure’ in explosive new document The U.S. president blames the EU and migration for inciting broad continental decline in official National Security Strategy.

Trump zaagt aan de stoelpoten van Europa.

De EU en migratie zouden tot ‘beschavingsuitwissing’ leiden en daarom zal de VS nationalistische partijen in Europa steunen.

Kabinet, veroordeel deze inmenging en maak Europa onafhankelijk. Kamervragen ingediend.

FYI bird & machine have the same name in English, French and Dutch!

“The regime must resign!” — the banner was hung from a bridge in Tbilisi today. A major rally is planned later under the slogan “the regime is poisoning us,” after BBC Eye’s new investigation indicated that GD used a chemical agent to disperse #GeorgiaProtests.

HARD NO.

Not today, Satan.

The Trump Administration is once again stealing directly from the Nazi playbook. Just substitute Jews for migrants. Trump (along with Bannon & Miller) has been pushing this “migrant crime” hysteria since his 5th day in office. See this story from March 2017: www.thewrap.com/der-sturmer-...

Now official policy of the United States:

—Immigration is exclusively harmful

—All nations must “only rarely” grant citizenship to foreigners

—Immigration will “erase” Europe within 20 years and the US must act to prevent that

Read it yourself.

Us Europeans 🇪🇺 will have some reading to do over the weekend. Important thread.

Can all the folk who just got reminded that they’ve listened to a tonne of music on streaming this year, have a look at the music they heard and buy some on bandcamp today? 🫡🙏🏼

Also, all you European base belong to us (or pony up)

It's Official: Netflix to Acquire Warner Bros. in Deal Valued at $82.7 Billion — The Hollywood Reporter Netflix promises to maintain Warner Bros. current operations, 'including theatrical releases for films,' the company says.

If you love movies and watching them in cinemas, this is disastrous news. Whatever Netflix says, this will erode a long tradition and have massive repercussions across the entire entertainment landscape.

It's almost like people vote without paying attention to what they're voting for.

Drones spotted near Zelenskiy’s flight path to Dublin, triggering major security alert Irish navy ship spotted five drones operating near route of the Ukrainian president’s aircraft by Howth coast

Five sophisticated drones flew in the route of Ukrainian President Zelenskiy’s flight path as he arrived in Ireland; had he not arrived slightly early, they would have passed close.
EU and Irish officials are treating it as a Russian hybrid attack

Musk's hatred of Wikipedia is, for instance, just one facet of a larger project to destroy the very concept of veracity and shared knowledge.

Pete Hegseth @PeteHegseth No classified information. Total exoneration. Case closed. Houthis bombed into submission. Thank you for your attention to this IG report. Sean Parnell * @SeanParnellASW •16h This Inspector General review is a TOTAL exoneration of Secretary Hegseth and proves what we knew all along - no classified information

The official policy now is just to lie. Desperate stuff.

American fascism is hilarious; it’s politics as aesthetics, but the aesthetics are ass.

Je ziet een foto van een witte deur met een zilveren klink. Alleen het midden van de deur is in beeld. Op de deur een witte poster met een zwart vlak. In het zwarte vlak staat in gele letters ‘niet normaal maken wat niet normaal is’. Onder het zwarte vlak staat in het midden het GroenLinks-PvdA logo in de kleuren groen en rood. In groene letters staat er groen links en in rode letters staat er PvdA.

An entire room full of powerful old white people smiling and laughing as the president dehumanizes black immigrants and the first black president.

Just fucking pathetic.

“The Nazi government developed a partnership with leading German business interests, who supported the goals of the regime and its war effort in exchange for advantageous contracts, subsidies, and the suppression of the trade union movement.”

All corporate CEOs should understand: If you agree to attend an event at the White House, you are very likely to be filmed nodding appreciatively at a delusional racist rant. If you're ok with that, go. If not, you probably should stay away.
