Up to 25,000 Cubans could soon be fighting for Russia.

It is reported that Cubans are promised about $2,000 per month - far more than they can earn at home. It is also possible that they are promised jobs in construction but then sent to the frontlines.

A third country intervenes in Ukraine.

The EU still thinks that intervening is escalation.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

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.

This lurid headline is about British tourists no longer getting away with overstaying in Schengen. Or being 'illegals', as it's often called in the UK.

Merkel is probably one of the people most responsible for the war, as she was one of Putin’s main appeasers. Her leadership was a massive failure

Macron: “We’ve been guilty of handing over our public democratic space to social networks owned by big American and Chinese firms whose interests are not in the survival and the functioning of our democracy."

I'm quite hopeful that French-German leadership on tech sovereignty can achieve something.

German authorities have confirmed drones circling Munich were military grade.

Not sure how much longer NATO countries can keep up the pretense…

Very possibly no political official in history has made so much corrupt money at a pace like this. Mobutu and Marcos looted a greater share of their countries’ wealth over decades but in absolute terms and in speed, Trump shamelessly puts them to shame.

“.. no modern American president has positioned his family to make so much money while in the White House. Already, since the early days of his reelection campaign, he’s more than doubled his net worth to about $5.4 billion.”

This poem by Michael Rosen @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social was written in 2014, but it fits the Trump MAGA American Fascism so clearly.

Make America Great Again

Drain The Swamp
Sunday, 18 May 2014 Michael Rosen Fascism: I sometimes fear... I sometimes fear that people think that fascism arrives in fancy dress worn by grotesques and monsters as played out in endless re-runs of the Nazis. Fascism arrives as your friend. It will restore your honour, make you feel proud, protect your house, give you a job, clean up the neighbourhood, remind you of how great you once were, clear out the venal and the corrupt, remove anything you feel is unlike you... It doesn't walk in saying, "Our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war and persecution." https://michaelrosenblog.blogspot.com/2014/05/fascism-i-sometimes-fear.html?m=1
