Europe is sending a message in every language it speaks.

From Copenhagen to Paris, the numbers are brutal for Donald Trump.
When 76–94% view you unfavorably, that’s not a PR problem.

It’s a legitimacy problem.

Allies are watching. And they’re not impressed.

THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE - Bad Bunny 🇵🇷
I can’t recall a global cultural event in my lifetime that pulled at the heartstrings, and spread love— and hope— in such a profound, seismic way.

Bravo, Bad Bunny 🇵🇷, for shrinking the world down in size and embracing humanity. We’re all better for it.

Croatia suspended all Russian oil supplies from its main terminal port at Adriatic coast in Krk to Hungary.

Excellent #freespeech 😉
This is a great summary of the #carnival2026, which had the beautiful theme floats in Cologne and Düsseldorf that everyone was waiting for all year.
Greetings ♥️
Today is Rosenmontag, the most important day of carnival in Germany. Millions of people are celebrating on the streets with processions.

Traditionally very political floats are shown. I'll include those with international references. /2

We have two dominant visions for digital tech: one from major corporations that maximizes profit at any cost, and another based on cyberlibertarian ideals that assumes you must code to participate in society.

We need another: where the public sector builds and funds tech for the broad public good.

And their statement doesn't acknowledge the real issue. More on that in a second.

A strange find from the Epstein files:

A hacker named Vincenzo Iozzo shares with Epstein a rumor that Peter Thiel was "bankrolling" the neo-Nazi white supremacist hacker troll known as "weev."

Conversation is about financial strategies and "currencies."

Repeated instances of interference by Republicans in German politics was ok, until German Chancellor Merz met Governor Newsom in Munich. The Trump administration expresses its irritation regarding this meeting and describes it as „blunder“.

Eine von zwei letzten Karten, die Donald Pedo noch in der Hand hatte um die Ukraine zu erpressen, ist praktisch verloren gegangen.

Es bleibt ihm dann nur eine letzte Karte - die Patriot Raketen - mit welcher er die Ukraine erpressen kann. ☝️
