Here are the graves of a Catholic woman and her Protestant husband, who were not allowed to be buried together due to cemetery regulations. They died in the 1880s. Note the hands clasping over the dividing wall. This poignant grave is located in Roermond in the Netherlands.

Insane. Slight young woman traveling with mom to see U.S soldier husband. Strip-searched twice. Disappeared in the afternoon into the next day. No calls. Given no food. Finally, before being put on a plane, had 3 min. call w/husband who cried inconsolably. Husband has decided to leave the Army.

Holy shit we woke up alive

Spanish intelligence says Russia pumped out misinformation to exploit the floods in Valencia in 2024 in a bid to destabilise public order. Russia is now looking to take advantage of any sudden crisis anywhere. This is asymmetric war.

Imagine being that person. Imagine constantly worrying about your perceived masculinity to the extent that you avoid straws. What an absolute bell end.

One of my metrics for deciding if a person is serious is if they think longstanding problems are simple to solve. It’s the go to for thick people who think they’re clever because they’re too thick to know they’re thick. Trump was elected claiming everything was simple to solve.

🇵🇱🇺🇦 Polish PM Tusk sharply responded to presidential candidate Karol Nawrocki, who suggested Poland might withdraw support for Ukraine’s NATO membership. “By endorsing this, Nawrocki signs up for Ukraine’s capitulation and dismemberment — deadly dangerous for Poland,” he said.

This right here is the problem with the current U.S. administration: dodging the simple truth that Putin is a war criminal In a Senate hearing: Sen. Keating: Is Putin a war criminal? Rubio: “We’re trying to end the war.” Keating: It’s a yes or no. Rubio: “He’s someone we negotiate with.” Shameful

I know AI content is evil and will destroy society, but if they ever get this working with imported music generated by Udio I'm going to be absolutely unbearable.

if you lack the ability to live with a typo or the courage to delete a whole post over one, that is simply a skill issue

TASS: On the Russian-Chinese border a peacefully working Russian combine harvester was fired upon by a Chinese tank. The combine harvester returned fire then returned to base

“Kid Rock’s Big A-- Honky Tonk Rock N’ Roll Steakhouse in Tennessee shuttered after employees not authorized to work in the U.S. failed to show up Saturday, and those who did turn up were told that any undocumented workers should leave to avoid being caught by ICE.”

Trump, when asked if Putin is an obstacle to peace: “I had a rough talk with Zelensky. He’s not making it easy — never had the cards.” No mention of Putin. No pressure. No surprise. Trump has zero intention of holding his buddy accountable.

"We can build up a richer picture of race and migration in Britain's past and present – one that goes beyond simplistic narratives and challenges us to engage with the complexity of issues too many of our politicians would rather we wouldn't"

Trump dumps Ukraine, dumps European leaders, and immediately goes with what his master Putin wants.

Russia’s position explained: “We are not interested in negotiations. We want to annihilate Ukraine. We pretend to negotiate so that Trump/others are fooled into believing we want peace. We only agree to terms that enable us break the deal later.”

These men are more pro-russian than Putin himself. They are the ones who suffer the most and are most disappointed by russia’s failure to defeat Ukraine. Some of the worst people out there

Great work as always, JD.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

Subjected to repeated disinformation campaigns. Estonia sees media literacy education as part of its digital-first culture and national security. The UK should be doing the same,but Starmer seems incapable of grasping that our democracy needs defending on the home front. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

And now it’s official: for the first time ever, Ukrainian naval drone destroyed warplane. Magura sea drone struck Russian Su-30 near Novorossiysk — where Moscow hides what’s left of its Black Sea fleet. Estimated loss: $50 million. No place for Russia in the Black Sea.

The reality 👇

Trump wants Ukraine basically to surrender. Let me remind Europe and the US: “You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Churchill's remarks after the signing of the Munich agreement with Hitler)

1/ Donald Trump has abandoned legally mandated US and international efforts to hold Russia accountable for its war crimes in Ukraine, in an apparent undisclosed favour to Vladimir Putin. ⬇️
