Google exposes new Russian spyware virus LostKeys linked to FSB The Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) reports that LostKeys is used in targeted ClickFix attacks, based on social engineering and beginning with a fake CAPTCHA. www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/202...

"Ik had geen idee wat de Efteling was. Het was even kind zijn. Even niet nadenken. Gewoon genieten, zoals alle andere kinderen om ons heen ook genoten. Het was een heel andere wereld. Vluchten is geen vakantie. Ik heb als jong kind zoveel oorlog gezien." www.rtl.nl/nieuws/binne...

Props to Donald Trump: every day, in every way, his administration is finding dynamic new ways to wallow in corruption. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

Thatcher would have said to Trump "This is no time to go wobbly" , but Trump probably will with regard to Putin and Ukraine..

❗️First ceasefire, then negotiations - French President Macron

Putin counters by rejecting the European plan and proposing talks without any European input and with conditions. Trump then steps in to talk about how wonderful this all is—after at no point endorsing the European plan which the Eur. had implied he had phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/weekend-up...

Hello All, just sent out my free weekend update. The last 24 hours confirms the reality of European weakness. European leaders pretended that Trump was on their side, but when push comes to shove, Trump refuses to abandon Putin. It’s repetitive and depressing. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

"With fewer cars, less traffic, less smog, and less honking, Manhattan’s Business Improvement Districts had 1.5 million more visitors spending money there." Like all congestion pricing foes, Trump was 100% wrong. He don't give a shit. But it's another way to say, "STOP HIM. He'll bankrupt us all."

“You just can’t walk up to people with brown skin and say, ‘Give me your papers,’” U.S. District Court Judge Jennifer L. Thurston said during a hearing in the case.

Wir sollten uns nicht täuschen lassen.

Very interesting for anyone involved with IT-projects, www.linkedin.com/posts/flyvbj...

Perfect reply from Zelensky, react positively to the prospect of talks while not giving in with regard to the ultimatum for the ceasefire starting Monday. Now Putin can show whether he is sincere by stopping the fighting coming Monday.

I mean, if this isn't fascism then what is it?

Look at the armament, gear and clothing of the ICE troops, these are paramilitary forces, with no clear badges, names etc, in functioning democracies these kind of officers look very different. The armament is also absurd, more for fighting at the front then police duties. #ICE

Trump told reporters that he did not sign the controversial proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies Act to quickly deport migrants his administration says are violent gang members. But his signature is on the document. Who did? Is he lying? Or is he having serious memory issues? 🎁 article. 1/2

⚡️Ukraine 'ready to meet' Russia for talks after full, lasting ceasefire starting May 12, Zelensky says. “It’s a good sign that the Russians are finally thinking about ending the war,” Zelensky said. “Everyone in the world has long awaited this." kyivindependent.com/zelensky-say...

Putin proposes direct talks with Ukraine. In other words, he snubs Trump and rejects the 30-day ceasefire demand. Ball is now squarely in Trump’s court, and we will see much much he is willing to be played. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

Holy shiitake! Trump fired Shira Perlmutter, the Director of the US Copyrights Office apparently because she refused to let Elon Musk raid the place to steal author’s intellectual property rights democrats-cha.house.gov/media/press-...

Putin held a press conference full of recycled lines and no real substance—he floated the idea of possible ceasefire talks on May 15 in Istanbul, blamed Ukraine for allegedly violating it's self-declared truce, and completely ignored the joint 30-day ceasefire proposal from Zelensky and EU leaders.

The news is that Putin did NOT accept the proposed 30 day cease-fire, he only proposed direct talks in Istanbul which is nothing new, there have been talks between Russia and Ukraine before. It's clear Putin is not interested in peace, even temporary. He just wants Ukraine to surrender.

Trump has apparently not yet read that putin has refused to support a full ceasefire starting May 12.

It’s really striking how irregular the bands of mostly men conducting federal immigration enforcement are. They seem to have no particular uniform, they wear a variety of different agency initials on their tactical vests, or none at all, they’re inconsistent about displaying a badge…

Een Tweede Kamerlid ontvangt maandelijks iets meer dan 10.000 euro. De PVV-fractie ontvangt dus maandelijks 370.000 euro en daarvoor doen ze vrijwel niets. Van ons belastinggeld. Iedere maand opnieuw. Vrijwel niets.

Putin has rejected today’s call for an unconditional 30-day ceasefire. Instead, he offered peace talks with no ceasefire while stressing the need to “eliminate root causes,” which is Kremlin code for erasing Ukrainian statehood. The ball is now back in the West’s court - will they act?

"Een burgemeester moet verantwoording afleggen aan zijn of haar gemeenteraad en niet aan Geert Wilders. Er is schijnbaar een cultuurtje ontstaan waarin het normaal is elkaars positie ter discussie te stellen. Er is geen presentator die ingrijpt. We moeten collectief zeggen: tot hier en niet verder."

Shameful. Disgusting. Crimes against t humanity.

No matter what this Administration tells the American people, the law is very clear: Members of Congress have a legal right to enter any DHS detention facility to conduct oversight without prior notice - something I’ve done twice this year without issue.

DHS arrested a Democratic mayor and is now threatening to imprison Democratic members of Congress. I assume this means no more talk of seeking "bipartisan legislation with my Republican friends," right?

Macron and Zelensky said farewell after today's meetings in Kyiv — and judging by the footage, their warm exchange suggests a strong personal bond, much like with Merz. A glimpse of real friendship amid war diplomacy.

If you were shocked by The Settlers, you haven’t been paying attention, writes Louis Theroux who also points out the fallaciousness of brickbats from Conservative environmentalist Ben Goldsmith.

A man pulled up to a gas station to fill up his truck. ICE agents surrounded him and took him away. But his children were left behind. “They arrested someone,” witness said. “They left the children inside the truck.” www.sfgate.com/centralcoast...

Zelenskyy, Macron, Starmer, Merz, and Tusk were spotted walking through central Kyiv, engaging with locals and connecting with the community.

🇩🇪🇺🇦 Merz confirmed that discussions on German arms supplies to Ukraine will no longer be held publicly. ❗️He does not rule out the possibility of meeting with Putin, but only if it helps end the war in Ukraine: "But first we have to see whether we can achieve a ceasefire after this weekend."

Russia is ready to negotiate with Ukraine without preconditions, says the Chinese Foreign Minister.
