I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Heb zijn timeline even bekeken. Dat hele zogenaamde instituut van hem is een en al Russische propaganda. Lijkt me waarschijnlijk dat het werkelijk niks anders is dan een betaalde hub voor de Russische desinfo.

“Other polls say the opposite…”

“Which one?”

“Uh … I don’t know. But the poll you cited is clearly biased….”

“How exactly?”

“Uh … which poll was that again?”

This is how it’s done.

It’s very easy, and it gets results, so if an anchor isn’t asking basic follow ups, that’s a choice.

Denmark's military intelligence reports that Russian naval forces have aimed weapons at Danish warships and helicopters, disrupted navigation systems in key maritime straits, and even sailed collision courses, all clear provocations.

Lijkt er op dat de verkiezingen in Moldova de juiste kan van stabiliteit en EU op vallen. Poetin heeft z’n 300 miljoen beïnvloeding hopelijk verspeeld. Geopolitiek belangrijke uitkomst. Moldova nu zsm lid van de Unie maken.

Half of the polling stations have been counted (but not half of the votes), and PAS🇪🇺 is already leading. The pro-EU Chisinau and diaspora have not been counted yet.

For almost a year, Georgians are protesting every single day.

Just two years ago, people would laugh at you if you suggested that Georgians can be enduring in discipline.

Yet, this is the most enduring daily protest in the world history, from what I know. 1/2

A 7% decline in English birds in just 5 years is astonishing

The web of life is unravelling fast
Wild bird numbers continue to fall in UK with some species in ‘dramatic freefall’
Species index fell by 4% between 2019 and 2024 – although data shows woodland populations beginning to stabilise
