This is a good message and it was no doubt emotionally satisfying to post it - but seriously, the European Commission and other EU institutions need to get off X.

Only Russia and its supporters can claim that Western sanctions strengthen Russia and hurt the West, while simultaneously asking the West to remove them.

They are the biggest idiots and hypocrites out there

To better understand what made the Trump shock possible, and how to confront it in the future, we must turn to its roots, namely, to Project 2025

Project 2025, from nightmare to reality
The year 2025 was marked by the Trump shock: an unprecedented wave of extreme brutality, unapologetic nationalism, and unrestrained extractivism that shook the world as never before since 1945. To …

Russia invaded Ukraine and seized European assets located in Russia, yet Russia and its supporters argue that Europe has no right to transfer Russia’s frozen assets to Ukraine. Pathetic!

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

Good. Now leave that platform.
Today, we fined X for non-compliance with transparency obligations under the DSA.

We're holding X accountable for:
🔹Deceptive design of its ‘blue checkmark’
🔹Lack of transparency of its advertising repository
🔹Failure to provide access to public data for researchers

Zero tolerance for doomerism. Stop lazily accepting that everything is screwed forever. Stop normalising low expectations. That’s part of the problem & it’s what the bastards want. It’s also a product of privilege. People in more desperate situations don’t have the option to just sit back & shrug.

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:
Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin
Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

✈️🔥 Remember when Russia’s million-dollar missiles targeted our supermarkets and homes? Well, our affordable Ukrainian drones just turned Russia’s pricey A-60 “flying experiment” into ashes right in #Taganrog! 🚁💥From #spiderweb operations to knocking out dozens of strategic bombers, Russia is losing.

Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.
