Exterminio o expulsión. Esa es la oferta israelí. Ese es el chantaje. Ese siempre fue el objetivo.

Today, 21 May, is the Circassian Day of Mourning, commemorating the day on which the ancient land of Circassia was annexed by Russia and its remaining population expelled from their homeland.

Russia continues to celebrate the Putin-Trump call. Today’s Russian papers: “Trump’s stance couldn’t be more advantageous to Moscow.” “Trump is our ideological partner.” Another paper tells European leaders: “Just breathe in the smell of the new world order.” #ReadingRussia

Russia té ZERO pressió i ZERO interès a negociar una fi de la guerra. Pot continuar enviant joves, presoners i nord-coreans a la picadora de carn fins que Ucraïna s’esgoti. No hi ha més.

Tough talk from Vance: If Putin is not ready for peace, there will come a time when we will have to stop supporting his adversary.

Mixu and Blanquet are ready for #Caturday. Happy weekend 😻

Ru couldn’t make it clearer: it’s not serious about ending the war now. Any Trump/Rubio talk about a diplomatic solution is hollow and useless unless the US is willing to pressure or compel Ru to compromise and climb down from its demand for Ukr surrender.

That's not true. Just being on X, reading tweets, is recorded activity that they use to set rates with advertisers. Having an account - and especially just the act of logging in - is giving money to Nazi Musk.

For now, Kadyrov has NOT resigned. In fact, he said that no matter how much he might want to, it all depends on what Putin decides, as he "merely follows orders". He’s played this game before (pretending he was stepping down) only to show he still has Putin’s support & his people's loyalty.

$500 million is… less than 1.25% of the NIH’s 2024 budget. When I say there is no capacity to absorb the shock, I mean it.

Authorities said the violence erupted when a driver opened fire during a routine traffic stop in the city of Makhachkala.

A little lynx action! This gorgeous kitten (almost full-grown) posed for me for a few minutes.

Yesterday we published our investigation into torture & death of Ukrainian journalist Viktoriia Roshchyna. Now, what I & several Guardian colleagues have been working on for past few months: inside one of Russia's worst torture prisons for Ukrainians www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Viktoriia Roshchyna's, a Ukrainian journalist, was killed in a Russian prison. Forensic experts found Roschyna’s neck bruised, burn marks on her feet, a broken rib & signs of electric shock. Her brain, eyes, and parts of trachea had been removed. www.washingtonpost.com/world/intera...

A 64-year-old woman from Chechnya has accused Russian security forces of abducting and torturing her for criticising the war in Ukraine. She says she was beaten, strangled, and assaulted with a soldering iron and electric shocks. ➡️ Read more: oc-media.org/64-year-old-...

One of these "summer camps" for Ukrainian children is located in the outskirts of Grozny, Chechnya. It"s run by the Kadírov Fund.

Les piulades de Pablo González segueixen el discurs del Kremlin al peu de la lletra. Em fa molta gràcia q encara dissimuli i escrigui "desde la distancia". Quina? La que hi ha entre el Kremlin i despatxos GRU? 🤔

ICYMI The propaganda is real and so thick, it’s smothering. Fox showed Putin celebrating Easter in Russia for 30 long minutes.

El Kremlin ja té, oficialment, un nou aliat: Washington. I l'arxienemic ara som l'Europa feixista, liderada pel pèrfid UK. Canvi de guió i sense despentinar-se.
