We cannot say this enough: giving in to Russian demands to let them keep illegally obtained sovereign Ukrainian land, including Crimea, will not ensure lasting peace!

If Russia wins this war, this will only be the start of bigger wars to come.

Per Encyclopedia Britanica: "The English word antifa is a loanword from the German Antifa, where it is a shortened form of the word antifaschistisch ("anti-fascist") and a nickname of Antifaschistische Aktion (1932–1933), a short-lived group which inspired the wider antifa movement in Germany."

..using antifascism too, because again, she has a valid point that it is also important to keep emphasizing what they are actually fighting against because they want to have a fascist regime with one supreme leader dictating the law of the land.

Kath definitely brings valid points why saying I am antifascism is better than saying I am antifa, however, for the same reason why it’s important to embrace and voice your “wokeness”, I do think it is important to show fascist-(wannabes) that their gaslighting does not work.

But I will start..

I think this is similar to my argument about not posting shit that'll get you in trouble. People want to put up a fight about semantics and words and are willing to face persecution over that when it's a lot more useful to do what you need to do to actually do the actions associated with those words

Saying someone is a "member of antifa" is like saying someone is a "member of socialism" or something. it makes zero sense. But they can't use the ideological form of the word because it makes it too clear what the ideology actually is and it would include our grandpas

Haven’t actually heard much about the ongoing war in Congo, so had to get a summary of what’s happening over there and I must say that other than putting economic pressure on Rwanda, I don’t see many other things the EU could now do in this without overall UN coordination. 😰

#RwandaCongoWar

My prompt to Le Chat:
Give me the executive summary from start to now regarding the Rwanda-Congo war.

Here's an executive summary of the Rwanda-Congo conflict from its recent escalation to the present (October 2025):
Rwanda-Congo Conflict: Executive Summary
(2022-October 2025)
Origins and Escalation
• The conflict reignited in 2022 when Rwanda deployed troops into eastern DRC to support the M23 rebel group, a predominantly Congolese Tutsi militia, against the Congolese military (FARDC) and pro-government militias.
• The crisis is rooted in decades of instability following the 1994 Rwandan genocide, with armed groups-including the FDLR (a Hutu extremist militia)-operating in eastern DRC.
Major Events (2024-2025)
• January 2025: M23, h ked by Rwanda,
captured Goma, the c al of North Kivu,

Major Events (2024-2025)
• January 2025: M23, backed by Rwanda, captured Goma, the capital of North Kivu, displacing over 400,000 people and prompting the DRC to sever diplomatic ties with Rwanda.
The fall of Goma marked the conflict's largest escalation since 2012 en.wikipedia.org.
• June 27, 2025: A US-mediated peace agreement was signed in Washington, DC, between Rwanda and the DRC, aiming to halt hostilities and address security concerns. The deal included commitments to neutralize armed groups (notably the FDLR) and withdraw Rwandan troops bbc.com +2 .
• Post-Agreement: Implementation stalled by September 2025, with Rwandan troops remaining in DRC and violence persisting. The M23 continued to advance in North and South Kivu, capturing Bukavu and displacing millions en.wikipedia.org +2 .
Humanitarian Crisis
• The conflict has caused thousands of deaths and displaced over seven million people, creating one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.
• Over 80% of health fac....ies in eastern DRC

AL
Rwanda-Congo Conflict v
• Over 80% of health facilities in eastern DRC face severe medicine shortages, and attacks on civilians and health workers have surged
AFP +2 •
Diplomatic and International Involvement
• The US, Qatar, and the African Union are overseeing the peace process, but progress is slow. The DRC and Rwanda held their first joint oversight committee meeting in August 2025, but key commitments (e.g., troop withdrawal, demobilization of M23) remain unfulfilled aljazeera.com +1
• On October 9, 2025, DRC President Felix Tshisekedi publicly urged Rwandan President Paul Kagame to "make peace" and halt support for M23, signaling ongoing diplomatic tension
AFP +1 •
Current Status (October 2025)
• Fighting continues in eastern DRC, with the M23 controlling major cities and the humanitarian situation deteriorating.
• The peace agreement's success hinges on Rwanda's withdrawal, the demobilization of armed groups, and sustained international pressure.

Key Takeaway: While the June 2025 peace deal offers a potential path to resolution, its implementation is stalled, and the conflict's humanitarian and security impacts persist. The situation remains volatile, with regional and global actors closely monitoring developments.
Would you like a deeper analysis of any specific aspect, such as the role armed groups or the geopolitical stakes?

Pope Leo is spitting.

www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows
"exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation,"
with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty."

Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down."

The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote.

Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."

Steve Bannon:

"All we have to do is flood the zone. Every day we hit them with three things, they'll bite on one, and we'll get all of our stuff done"

Another aspect of this tactic is to muddy the information ecosystem with misinformation to generate distrust between the public and the news media.

To put it bluntly - humans are killing the ocean and a dead ocean represents a dead planet
The ocean cannot continue to take this huge amount of heat
Already as air moves over ocean it is picking up this excess heat and moisture, leading to excess heat hurricanes floods on land

Go Green @ecowarriorss.bsky.social · 1d

The amount of extra heat humans are adding to the ocean is 14 zettajoules which is equal to 7 atomic bombs detonating every second of every day for a year.

Since 1955 oceans have absorbed excess heat enough to boil 60 billion Olympic swimming pools

P.s: ja, het is oneerlijk om over Israëlische gijzelaars te praten maar dan om over vastgezette Palestijnen te praten!

1700 zijn ook gijzelaars door Israël en 250 levenslang gestrafte geloof ik niet dat zij allemaal gevangenisstraffen verdiend hebben maar dat ze ten onrechte gevangen genomen zijn.

Lees ook: Wie zijn de Israëliërs en
Palestignen die mogelijk vrijkomen?
Als Hamas en Israël zich aan de afspraken houden - waar beiden naar verwachting donderdag hun handtekening onder zetten - komen alle Israëlische gijzelaars en bijna tweeduizend vastgezette Palestijnen vrij. Volgens het twintigpuntenplan van de Amerikaanse president Donald Trump heeft Hamas vanaf het moment dat de inkt op papier staat 72 uur de tijd om alle gijzelaars over te leveren aan Israël.
In ruil voor de gijzelaars laat Israël 250 levenslang gestrafte Palestijnen vri), plus 1700 mensen uit Gaza die na 7 oktober zijn opgesloten in Israëlische gevangenissen, waaronder alle vrouwen en kinderen. In het plan van Trump komen deze pas vrij zodra de gijzelaars door Hamas zijn overgedragen aan Israël.
