The new JFK files look to be providing some depth on US intelligence activities in the 60s, but nothing all that surprising. And certainly nothing that changes the prevailing theory that Oswald acted alone, seizing an opportunity to have his name remembered for all time.

They are coming for every university, if you think you’re safe because it hasn’t been yours yet I don’t know what to tell you. Join AAUP, refuse to comply, organize your colleagues

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV propagandists have surmised that a partial ceasefire was just Putin's way of throwing Trump a bone: "At least it brought Donald some pleasure, now he can talk about it." This and more in my latest article, linked below ⤵️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-Zs...

Donc la directrice du renseignement national US, Tulsi Gabbard, relaye à ses millions d'abonnés, un désinformateur viral, Ian Miles Cheong, qui a été contributeur de RT (même après l'invasion russe), et qui a récemment expliqué que le massacre de Boutcha était un canular.

Last month I did a little experiment. I wanted to see how the exact same post would perform on both X (Twitter) and Bluesky. The results were...interesting... [Thread]

Let us not forget that Michael Gove had plenty of private conversations about how to end the EU.

While in Europe, the former president of Russia Today RT France is promoting Putin's narratives in several media outlets and selling her book in bookstores, her colleagues and friends in Russia are threatening France and Britain and wishing death upon independent journalists. When will we wake up?

Idée reçue : il faut du buzz et du clash pour faire de l'audience à la télé. Fact check : il y a un public, de plus en plus nombreux, qui veut comprendre le monde sans le caricaturer et se faire une opinion basée sur les faits. Merci à celles et ceux qui nous soutiennent.

Oh my goodness this is fabulous. Read it!

Meet Evan Anzoo, a five-year-old boy in South Sudan who died when Elon Musk shut down USAID and the boy lost access to his HIV meds. Musk says no one has died because of the aid shutdown, but that's because he didn't look. RIP, Evan, you deserved better. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Through misrepresented data, anti-vaccine activists baselessly claim that measles vaccines have caused more deaths than measles itself. Read the details in Reality Check: www.newsguardrealitycheck.com/i/159060459/...

“If she wants to know something specific, but doesn’t want people to notice her asking questions, she should simply make incorrect statements while in the company of experts.

The video of Trump’s deportees arriving in El Salvador is horrific. This is 21st century Nazism. Identities concealed, trafficked to a foreign labour camp. No due process, no evidence of crime. Dehumanised. Where is the global outrage? The crime is historic; the normalisation catastrophic.

I submitted written testimony to the January 6th Committee that was cited in their final report. My name being in that document is one of the proudest moments of my professional life. I told the truth and have nothing to fear. If that puts me on a list, then so be it.

Monetizing extremism is easy on X for conspiracy theorist platformer Nawfal By @eksymons.bsky.social 👇

Après avoir invité le maurassien Elie Hatem et le Youtubeur mascu Ismaïl Ouslimani (alias « Le Raptor »), donné un cachet à Myriam Palomba ou présenté Damien Rieu comme un « lanceur d'alerte », I24 organise désormais des débats avec François Asselineau. Naufrage.

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

NEW: As Americans increasingly get their news from online shows and streamers, our analysis found that this expanding media ecosystem is overwhelmingly right-leaning.

BREAKING. Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty a été informée hier par l'Agence américaine pour les médias mondiaux (USAGM) que son accord de subvention fédérale, qui finance les opérations mondiales de RFE/RL, a été résilié. 1/3

About 1/6 of the total population of Serbia protested government malfeasance today. In the US that would be more than fifty million people.

Here we go: the rewriting of history has formally begun "Oklahoma proposes teaching standards suggesting 2020 election ‘discrepancies’" www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Destroying Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, and Radio Free Asia is a win for totalitarians everywhere, including those who currently rule the US.

U.S. academics: --Back up your data & papers (even published) to multiple sources, including overseas --Collaborate with international colleagues --Mentor more junior researchers --Teach evidence-based inference skills to school-aged children Keep the pilot light lit. #pilotlight🔥

The US administration is a rogue government, clearly choosing to operate outside the rule of law: on cutting lawful appropriations without lawful authority, on accessing private data by unauthorised people, on deporting legal migrants without due process.

Meanwhile in Russia: top state TV propagandist Vladimir Solovyov responded to Trump's ceasefire proposal. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dwS...

So what happens when the Trump administration doesn't do what the judge tells them to do? Are there any consequences to ignoring court orders anymore? Or are consequences for the little people?

Every day is a new and louder “jfc” newrepublic.com/post/192660/...

Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy is now suggesting that everyone should get measles. Kennedy is advocating contracting measles OVER being vaccinated. Yet another alarming reminder that RFK Jr. is a danger and a failure in his new position as head of HHS. Faced…

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV host Olga Skabeeva insisted that Russia has no reason to agree to a ceasefire and rejoiced about Trump's assertions that he sees no need to apply any pressure or impose additional sanctions against Russia. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TJ3...

« Oui, il y a aujourd'hui des relais d'opinion russes dans la société française. Ils sont ici, dans cet hémicycle. Quand Marine Le Pen prend la parole lors du débat sur l' #Ukraine, elle reprend les demandes de Vladimir #Poutine. » 🗣️ @cyriellechtl.bsky.social #DirectAN

It’s clear since Putin’s speech yesterday: Kremlin doesn’t want peace, Kremlin lies and manipulates negotiations to achieve Putin’s goal. They want to destroy Ukraine and attack other European countries in nearest future. We need to be ready. It’s an emergency.

The "peace president" whose followers believe he will end all war is drawing up plans to invade another country and seize their most valuable asset.

@pmsika.bsky.social Merci pour la vidéo sur Georgescu, c'est efficace et concise comme on aime 👍 Je me posais juste une question : ne vaudrait-il pas mieux parler de "négationnisme" plutôt que de "révisionnisme" ? Il me semble que les spécialistes (notamment reçus par CW) y tiennent

Excellente nouvelle : la #JTI, la "norme ISO du journalisme" créée par #RSF, franchit le cap des 2000 médias inscrits dans le monde et s'impose comme une norme de référence pour le journalisme de qualité.

D'après un sondage CNN, 53% des Américains ont une mauvaise opinion d'Elon Musk.

Selon Wired, à la différence de Trump qui cherche à éviter un "Shutdown", Musk a exprimé en privé le souhait d'un arrêt des activités gouvernementales par ce que cela faciliterait la suppression définitive de centaines de milliers d'emplois de fonctionnaires US.
