So Trump’s guy tells a Putin guy how to sell out Ukraine. Outrageous. Inhuman. Incompetent. Wrong. Embracing the beast.

Probabilty that Trump's "peace plan" for Ukraine was written in Russian according to specific GPT search is 70-80%. Heard discussion of on BBC Radio 4 (if there is a link it isn't up yet, please post it or other if you find it). Trump's peace plan is actually Putin's war goals. Not a peace plan.
Probability Analysis • Language Structure: High likelihood that it was initially written in Russian due to naturalness of phrasing. Involvement of Russian Officials: Strong evidence from participation of Russian advisors in its development. • Political Reactions: Comments from U.S. senators suggest it aligns with Russian interests, indicating Russian influence. • Expert Opinions: Analysts note awkward English syntax, supporting the idea of a Russian origin. Conclusion Probability: High (estimated around 70-80%).

Sex trafficking on Meta platforms was both difficult to report and widely tolerated. Instagram’s former head of safety testified that when she joined Meta in 2020 she was shocked to learn the company had a “17x” strike policy for accounts that engaged in the “trafficking of humans for sex.”

Congress, pay attention. We the People decide where our money goes — not the President. And we are demanding full support for Ukraine, with everything they need to win. Trump does not hold the power of the purse. The American people do. Act accordingly.

A French ICC judge sanctioned by the US over the Netanyau arrest warrant says all his accounts with US companies have been closed, making it “like being sent back to the 1990s.”

“Without sovereignty – military, health, financial and digital – we can no longer guarantee the rule of law,” he says.
What do these sanctions mean, concretely, in your daily life? It goes far beyond simply being banned from US territory. The sanctions affect all aspects of my daily life. They prohibit any American individual or legal entity, any person or company, including their overseas subsidiaries, from providing me with services. All my accounts with American companies, such as Amazon, Airbnb, PayPal and others, have been closed. For example, I booked a hotel in France through Expedia, and a few hours later, the company sent me an email canceling the reservation, citing the sanctions. In practice, you can no longer shop online because you do not know if the packaging your product comes in is American. Being under sanctions is like being sent back to the 1990s. What can governments do? In the face of US sanctions, European authorities can implement the "blocking statute" [a mechanism used in the past that protects EU citizens and companies from the effects of sanctions imposed by third countries]. Europe needs greater sovereignty, especially in digital and banking matters. That is the only way to reduce the impact of sanctions and, indirectly, protect the victims of international crimes. Today, there is no room for naivety. Without sovereignty – military, health, financial and digital – we can no longer guarantee the rule of law. Some European lawmakers have become aware of these issues. Still, this awareness must grow among national governments and the European Commission, because behind the sanctions against the ICC lies the entire question of the rule of law.

"we're experiencing a higher call volume than usual" of air travel.

Also noting that the "thank-you for your patience" is the "forgot to ask: 'please be patient'" for both.
