Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) & Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) have alarming readout of their conversation with Vlodymyr Zelenskyy: “Pres. Zelenskyy confirmed that critical Starlink services remain degraded, including on systems traveling at speeds above 100 miles per hour, impeding Ukraine’s ability to intercept Russian drones. He also reported disruptions to U.S. intelligence sharing concerning early warning of Russian ballistic missile launches. As a result of these disruptions, civilians – children – are dying"

“Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion.” ― Oscar Wilde

Queen Victoria only donated a pitiable £2,000 to Irish famine relief despite hundreds of thousands of her subjects dying of hunger and hunger related diseases. Historical records show that Victoria initially intended to only give £1,000 but when politicians told her that the amount would look terrible, she agreed to double it to £2,000. Damningly, the official policy was that no foreign leader or British subject was allowed to out-donate the monarch therefore when the Turkish Sultan offered to donate £10,000, British diplomats forced him to slash his donation to £1,000. Which meant in effect that public donations were capped, and more Irish people died, so as not to embarrass Queen Victoria. Against the backdrop of the unimaginable wealth of the British Empire, a personal donation of £2,000 - while technically making her the largest single individual donor, stands as a glaring symbol of indifference and callous cold-heartedness.

Lula has proposed changing Banking Secrecy laws so ALL bank accounts/crypto... would have to be Public for ALL politicians. A great change all countries should make, if you work for the Public they should be able to see if you actually do.

In 1944, the Nazi’s “Final Solution to the Jewish Problem” was at its height. At Auschwitz, the largest of the Nazi concentration camps, Jews were killed on an industrial scale: murdered in groups in gas chambers and shot, hanged, and tortured to death by Nazi guards. For those prisoners who were kept alive as slave laborers, death came incessantly though disease and malnutrition. Four crematoria burned the bodies of Jews who’d been murdered at Auschwitz. They ran day and night, converting the bodies of men, women, and children into thick black ash. Between four and eight thousand people were incinerated each day. Overall, approximately 1.1 million people - over 90% of them Jews - were murdered at Auschwitz alone. Sadistically, the Nazis forced Jewish prisoners to do this repugnant work. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Holocaust Encyclopedia describes the ghastly lives of the Sonderkommando, the Jews forced to perform the mass cremation of their friends and relatives: After the gassing was carried out by camp personnel, men of the Sonderkommando entered the gas chamber, untangled bodies, and cleaned the by then ventilated room. An elevator then raised the bodies to the crematorium level. There, another group would shave the hair of the victims and search the bodies for hidden valuables, including gold teeth, which were removed and handed over to the SS. Finally, the Sonderkommando Jews would carry out the burning of bodies in the ovens and the disposal of the ashes. In late September, 1944, a group of Sonderkommando planned a daring uprising in Auschwitz, determined to stall the Nazis’ death machine as best they could. But they couldn’t do it alone. For help, they turned to a group of incredibly brave Jewish women who risked torture and death to fight back against the Nazi guards. On October 7, 1944, an explosion tore through Crematorium IV at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Behind the uprising were four Jewish women who had secretly risked their lives to smuggle gunpowder into the hands of prisoners preparing to fight back. Ester Wajcblum, Ella Gärtner, Regina Safirsztain, and Róza Robota were prisoners at Auschwitz. Three worked in the Union munitions factory, where explosives were manufactured for the German war effort. Róza helped organize the dangerous network that carried stolen gunpowder to the Sonderkommando, Jewish prisoners forced to work in the extermination facilities. The women stole tiny quantities of explosives, concealing them and passing them through trusted intermediaries. Discovery meant almost certain death. Yet the operation continued for months, providing the prisoners with material for their planned revolt. On October 7, 1944, the Sonderkommando rose against their guards. They attacked SS personnel, set fire to Crematorium IV, and damaged it beyond further use. The Germans crushed the rebellion, killing hundreds of prisoners. An investigation traced the explosives back to the women. All four were arrested and subjected to brutal interrogation. Despite torture, they refused to expose the wider resistance network. On January 6, 1945, Ester, Ella, Regina, and Róza were publicly hanged at Auschwitz. Soviet forces liberated the camp just 21 days later. Róza Robota's final words are remembered as "Hazak ve'ematz," meaning "Be strong and courageous." Four women, armed with almost nothing, helped destroy part of a machinery of mass murder. Their names deserve to be remembered. #archaeohistories

HE HAS NO CARDS! Well, Trump's latest tweet has finally explained everything. His sudden, panicked, mysterious, and complete shift toward the Kremlin, along with his hysterical attacks on Ukraine and Zelensky, has nothing to do with hopes of persuading Putin to agree to a ceasefire, lowering diesel prices, or “supporting American farmers and ranchers.” And it doesn't require some elaborate conspiracy theory, either. The explanation, I believe, is much simpler: pure, personal, suffocating FEAR. Fear that Putin might start “helping Iran” far more than he already does. And I suspect that this is precisely what the former KGB officer made unmistakably clear to our “genius negotiator” during their very long telephone conversation. Cross me, and I'll demonstrate just how much assistance Russia can provide its “Iranian partners,” conveniently timed to coincide with the critical election period. The resulting foreign policy and economic disaster could leave Trump completely screwed. And the Great Orange Pumpkin knows it. He dragged America into a war that turned out to be nothing like the glorious little adventure imagined by a man whose understanding of geopolitics sometimes resembles that of an eight-year-old with delusions of grandeur. Now he has absolutely no idea how to get out of it. Shouting at reporters, renaming oceans, and posting ridiculous memes are one thing. Escaping a genuine geopolitical catastrophe is something entirely different. Meanwhile, people around him may already be calculating that the more damage the Pumpkin does, the brighter the halo above his successor's head will appear. But Trump's fear, at least, follows a certain logic. He understands that Putin has the ability to inflict enormous political and economic damage on him, and he may believe that the Kremlin is threatening to do exactly that. What he apparently fails to understand is that concessions will not buy him Putin's goodwill. He will get NOTHING in return. Absolutely nothing. TRUMP HAS NO CARDS. NOT A SINGLE ONE. In my view, he is now in the weakest negotiating position of either of his presidential terms. Xi Jinping must be watching this spectacle in disbelief. The president of the United States, the leader of the world's most powerful democracy, appears increasingly vulnerable to pressure from the Kremlin. We may be witnessing something extraordinary: a situation in which Moscow is not merely trying to influence American foreign policy but appears capable of shaping Washington's decisions through threats and intimidation. The Kremlin, which American presidents once confronted from a position of strength, now seems to have discovered how to exploit the fears of the man sitting in the Oval Office. And the tragedy is that Trump appears willing to sacrifice Ukraine's interests, America's credibility, and the trust of its allies in a desperate attempt to protect himself from the consequences of his own decisions. So much for peace through strength. Look how things turned out, Mr. Reagan.

Lo mas gracioso es que Flavio Bolsonaro después de la vergüenza que le hizo pasar Lula, dijo: “Lamentablemente ni mi papá puede votarme por culpa tuya”. Y Lula le responde: “Jair Bolsonaro, vota por mí, a tu hijo ya lo conoces y sabes que es un retrasado”. Absolutamente extraordinario. De las mayores humillaciones públicas que vi en mi vida.

America, you elected him twice. (In some defense, I believe Elon altered counts and let him win in '24)

The dumbest motherfucker on earth and the President of the United States should be 2 different people.

Trump has no knowledge of or appreciation for history. He has a demented fantasy with Putin of carving up the planet for them to rule over. That fantasy makes him think he rules the Western Hemisphere, and why he's renaming things.

💥Netanyahu endorses the National Rally's Marine Le Pen, ultra-right candidate for the French presidency, convicted of misappropriating €4 million in EU moneys and daughter of an actual Nazi, so right up his alley.

FLASHBACK: Ten years ago tonight, Hillary Clinton said that Donald Trump would operate as a puppet of Vladimir Putin. Hillary was right about everything.

Just Now — Trump: “Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven’t been doing much.” According to Zelensky, Russia fired 16 ballistic missiles at the Kyiv area overnight. A 21-year-old woman was killed.
