Lutsk after Russia’s attack last night

‘These are cadets playing with drones like toys’: Russian drone pilots hunt civilians in Ukraine The use of drones to kill and wound civilians in Kherson is “systemic and widespread”, a UN-backed commission has warned. bit.ly/3HrK5Jm

Czech President warns Ukraine war shows same warning signs that led to WWII “We must do everything,” Petr Pavel warned that Europe must prevent the Ukraine war from spreading westward, drawing direct comparisons to the 1930s euromaidanpress.com/2025/06/07/w...

The most outrageous act in "investigative" journalism this year was an attack on OCCRP by @mediapart.fr and @dropsitenews.com. Their deeply flawed and biased story damaged numerous small investigative media across the globe. A new analysis by journalist Mark Hunter shows just how bad it was:🧵

#badgeographyjoke #Mexico edition. Or should it be US edition?!

Ukraine dramatically escalates this war with its selfish desire to exist.

Every word in the QP is bs but it’s especially shocking that people can maintain belief in “CIA Maidan coup” 3.5 yrs into a war which shows how much Ukrainians will sacrifice to avoid russian rule and 5mo into an American admin that is actively trying but failing to make them surrender to Ru.

"DOGE’s team of tech saboteurs...".

The worst-kept secret in Washington is that Vought, from day one, was pulling the marionette strings at DOGE. Deploying DOGE’s team of tech saboteurs—those hoodied 24-year-olds—was Musk’s chief contribution. https://trib.al/oeoeKoW

“Putin is tired of this whole thing,” Trump said on Fox News. “He’s not looking good. And he wants to look good.” In reality, it is Trump who is tired of “this whole thing,” Trump who’s not looking good, and Trump who wants to look good. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

🕯️ 2 people were blown up by a mine on the Odesa beach, died on the spot.

Whether we can think and act as Europeans - not as Germans, Poles, Italians or Irish etc - remains the critical question of our time. It’s a question I’ve been deeply committed to - for over 30 years. www.socialeurope.eu/europes-awak...

Todos y todas los Presidentes autonómicos que han preferido actuar como loritos de la dirección nacional de su partido en lugar de discutir sobre los intereses reales de su gente, han faltado a su responsabilidad y a su deber (y han mostrado muy pobre personalidad y liderazgo).

I think there is something incredibly encouraging & reassuring that the country’s national broadcaster has the independence & strength to strongly challenge the state security service when circumstances demand it. That’s not true of every national broadcaster.

Weird we are still around considering the mix of incompetence and cowardice among our elites. "The EU is weighing whether to add Russia to its grey list of countries with lax money laundering controls If Ukraine had been admitted to NATO in 2008, perhaps the current war could have been avoided,"

Trump on Ukraine's attack on russian airbases and russia’s attack on Ukrainian cities: “They gave Putin a reason to go and bomb the hell out of them… When I saw it, I said, here we go, now it’s going to be a strike…” (Russia has been bombing Ukraine nonstop for over 3 years.)

Wellman: When I served in Iraq.. I heard about how Saddam Hussein divided them. Different sects fought each other. But you know -- Saddam and his family sat laughing at all of them. They divided them against each other and kept their power for 35 years. Does this sound familiar to anybody?

Russia bombed Kharkiv.. 60 TIMES 2 hours ago. 😖 calling people there now..

Ukraine strikes very specifically military targets in Russia. Putin responds with attacking civilians.

Antonio Lucas cuenta en El Mundo el maltrato a su madre discapacitada en la residencia de ancianos Vitalis Murcia, ese túnel del terror. Y eso que podía pagar miles de euros al mes. Este horror tendría que acabarse: las residencias no deberían ser negocio.

When people think of Social Security, they typically think of monthly benefits. But efforts by DOGE this year to access the Social Security Administration’s data systems should conjure up thoughts of data on hundreds of millions of people. cnn.it/4kVt8Fz

Good point. If the Ukrainians had not launched preemptive strikes against russian forces (Spider's Web and thereafter), russia's criminal strikes against civilians would have been even more devastating. Ukraine must continue, and the Allies must help it. www.euronews.com/2025/06/06/r...

I haven't shown it to you yet. It is a very cosy Kyiv bookstore that was opened during the war. I have a feeling people here read more now.

Meaghan Mobbs, currently in Kyiv, publicly addressed her father, General Kellogg, on Twitter: "It might be the explosions and gunfire in the dead of the night, but I get the strange feeling the Russians don't want peace"

If the EU were a state, you’d have protests against this. Instead nobody really cares: politicians hiding behind the EU to worsen consumer rights … giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Where different BDA assessments seem to converge. Destroyed: 7 Tu-95MS, 4 Tu-22M3, 1 An-12. Damaged: 1 Tu-95MS, 2 Tu-22M3 , 2 A-50s (probably non-operational). Additionally attacked & possibly damaged: 4 Tu-22M3 (status unclear), and 1 Tu-95MS.

Couldn't agree more with this @adamtooze.bsky.social banger. "The scandal is not that European defence budgets have not already doubled. The scandal is that Europe spends so much and gets so little for it." The European defense enterprise is a total mess. www.ft.com/content/f450...

THREAD: An ex-DOGE engineer with no government or medical experience used AI to identify which Veterans Affairs contracts to kill, labeling them as “MUNCHABLE.” @vernalcoleman.bsky.social @ericumansky.bsky.social and I got the code. Here’s what it tells us 1/

One day, we realized that prisons in Norway look better than not just Russian prisons, but even many Russian hotels. Think we’re exaggerating? See for yourself. meduza.io/en/quiz/norw...
