They destroy to dominate. We build to liberate. The future isn’t in their ruins—it’s in our hands. Time to create, connect, and construct something better. Who’s in? #ReclaimTheFuture #BuildDontBurn #NewRenaissance

I have moral autonomy—my reason determines my path, not the whims of power. I don't outsource my ethics to politicians, billionaires, or tech companies. Kant would agree. #trump #musk #elon #freegaza #unhrc #humanrights #dei #democracyfirst #neveragain #humanity #ethics

Getting bored... using geopolitical bargaining chips instead of a force for real global development. This whole saga is basically a Rotten Tomatoes zero-star Netflix series: overpriced, overhyped, and somehow still getting renewed. #tariff #reagan #trump #elonism #protectionism #neveragain #stophate

Executive orders are like democracy’s hack: quick fixes without the pesky debate. Sure, they’re flashy, but if every new president just wipes the slate clean, are we really governing or just playing tug-of-war with a dry-erase board? 🤔🖊️ #trump #elonism #DemocracyCheck #BalanceOfPower”

So Tiktok’s worth zero without a Trump-issued permit? Wild how a trillion-dollar company can vanish without one little stamp. But hear me out: if permits are that powerful, maybe we’re using them wrong. E.g.:
Climate permit: Corporations? No billion-dollar valuations unless they’re net-zero carbon.

Divide and conquer: the oldest trick. Someone’s trying to fracture the EU with fear and lies. But unity is our strength. Stay informed, reject falsehoods, and stand together.

Did you know that researchers are working on self-healing concrete? It’s infused with special bacteria that produce limestone when exposed to water and air. It would save billions in maintenance costs and creating more sustainable infrastructure.
Wouldn't it be cool your driveway repairs itself?

Trump’s ‘reforms’ are just reverse-engineered progress: dismantling rights, undoing protections, and spinning it all as ‘freedom.’ If reclaiming territory means evicting democracy and bulldozing equity, who exactly wins here? Spoiler: not us.

France & Germany want to delay EU sustainability goals. Trump never got on the green train. Earth must think we’re the worst tenants—polluting the air, dodging rent (carbon neutrality), and trashing the place. Time to step up and act like we care about this planet-sized Airbnb.

AI is reshaping authoritarianism, but let’s be clear: Your soul isn’t for sale. Never has been, never will be. Humanity and autonomy must come first as we face this dystopian reality. Stay awake, stay human.

AI is destined to become another stage for geopolitical conflict. In this contest, autocracies have the advantage, as they vacuum up valuable data from democracies…

Stargate: the $500B plan for data centers & jobs sounds great—until you realize no one's talking about the MASSIVE energy demands. Without green energy mandates, this is a bullet train to climate disaster. Innovation ≠ sustainability. #AccountabilityNow #GreenTech

In a world where absurdity sells better than substance, the Jester asks: Are we entertained, or are we enslaved? Popularity is the new crown, but the court forgets—just because the king’s loud doesn’t mean he’s wise. When popularity drives power, who’s really in charge? #CriticalThinking #news

Zelenskyy just told Europe to stop waiting for a hero and start being one. Meanwhile, von der Leyen’s probably fine-tuning another PowerPoint about ‘solidarity’ while the world watches Ukraine fight alone. Tick tock, Brussels.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy took aim at Europe in a fiery speech delivered at the World Economic Forum today, saying the continent “needs to step up” and “learn how to take care of itself so the world can’t ignore it.”
Zelenskyy excoriates Europe in Davos speech
Ukrainian president calls on European politicians to “be more than just bystanders” who are “reduced to posting on X after an agreement has already been made.”

Brace yourselves, dear Americans. The hat is just the beginning. Symbols have power, and when they echo authoritarianism, we must pay attention. Reject fascism, bigotry, and all forms of oppression before they take root. We know how this story ends. #NeverAgain

There’s no place for gestures, symbols, or rhetoric tied to fascism, authoritarianism, or any other oppressive ideology in today’s world. Flirting with hate for shock or power is a spit in the face of humanity’s progress. We must reject it outright—we’re better than this. #NeverAgain

While billionaires hoard wealth and Trump/Melania meme coins drop like confetti, global hunger rises. Are meme coin profits feeding the hungry? Nope. Meme coins won’t save us—fairer wealth distribution will. Read Oxfam’s report: www.oxfam.org/en/research/...

Europe’s stuck in the ultimate bad roommate situation: the US demands you stop buying from China, but won’t cover your rent. Meanwhile, China’s offering cheap stuff but might come for your keys later. Where’s the EU heading? Probably straight to stress therapy. #Geopolitics

Trump, a man whose record on racial equality is… let’s call it ‘spotty,’ taking the oath on the day we honor MLK, a civil rights icon who fought for justice and equality. One imagines MLK watching with an eyebrow raised so high it’d graze the ceiling of the Rotunda.
