Carlson and Witkoff think Khrushchev the Ukrainian gave Ukraine the 5 regions that Russia now wants to carve out of Ukraine and that's the root of the war. Laughably wrong, of course.

Kennedy Links Measles Outbreak to Poor Diet and Health, Citing Fringe Theories In a recent interview, the health secretary also suggested that the measles vaccine had harmed children in West Texas, center of an outbreak.

Ce qui devait arriver, arriva. Kennedy lie l'épidémie de rougeole à une mauvaise alimentation et à une santé déficiente, en citant des théories farfelues.
Le secrétaire d'État à la santé a également laissé entendre que le vaccin contre la rougeole avait nui aux enfants du Texas.

Reminder: a ceasefire is not on offer; peace is not on offer; Trump is trying to strong arm Ukraine into submitting to russia's demands. Russia keeps reiterating that it's neither interested in a ceasefire or in any compromise. It keeps rejecting all compromise suggestions out of hand.

Sortons les trumpagandistes de nos médias Ils pourront continuer à sévir dans les médias sociaux, dans la rue ou avec une pancarte devant le parlement.

Des désinformateurs employés par nos médias ont déplacé la fenêtre de ce qu’on pouvait dire publiquement, à coups de demi-vérités et de mensonges.

By Rejecting Evidence of Genocide in Gaza, the US Is Following a Familiar Pattern For decades, Washington has denied, downplayed and rationalized atrocities by its allies

“The Ukrainian leader did his best to stand up to the bullying, but Trump and Vance were playing to the cameras and the MAGA gallery at home.” theatln.tc/5tozgdyn

Good morning friends🦋Today’s tip: Each Other. We need to stand up for each other whether it is here or in public. If you see something, help, especially in public. The minute we stay silent we lose all. We are stronger together. Believe what you see and don’t let anyone tell you different 🦋🐾🦋🐾

How long does it take for Americans to figure out that the country under attack by Trump and Musk is the USA itself?

America is under siege from the White House. Its government is being dismantled, health protections undone, even cyber security undermined. The USA is the target.

Ukrainians Blindsided by Deal’s Breakdown and by Trump’s Actions Some said they felt the U.S. president was disrespectful and that they were proud of their leader for standing up to him.

Across Ukraine, many people were shocked and blindsided at how a deal between the U.S. and the country on critical minerals fell apart and how President Trump treated Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky. They also said they wouldn’t stop fighting, even if the U.S. walked away.

Trump Could Start a New Pipeline Fight A tax credit for carbon capture has fans in the oil industry.

The Trump administration is fully engaged in a drive to eliminate virtually any government activity or mention related to climate change—with a few notable exceptions, @zoeschlanger.bsky.social reports:

Une crise qui passe sous le radar

C'est bien la violence fasciste qui est de retour, libérée par l'extrême droitisation du débat public. Cette attaque en plein Paris visait une projection-débat de "Z" le grand film de Costa-Gavras qui, en 1969, dénonçait le crime annonciateur de la dictature des colonels grecs.

Books mentioning slavery, civil rights removed from shelves at Fort Campbell schools - ClarksvilleNow.com At an elementary school at Fort Campbell, home of the 101st Airborne Division, librarians are hard at work scrubbing the shelves for books that contain references to slavery, the civil rights movement...

"À l’heure actuelle, le monde appartient aux imbéciles, aux agités et aux sans-cœur. On s’assure aujourd’hui le droit de vivre et de réussir par les mêmes moyens pratiquement que ceux qui vous assurent le droit d’être internés dans un asile : l’incapacité de penser, l’amoralité et la surexcitation."
