Israel has been steadily pushing the truce line to take control of more Palestinian territory in the six months since a “ceasefire” was reached. The yellow line drawn on the ceasefire maps had Israeli troops in control of about 53% of Gaza’s territory, but the occupied zone continues to grow.
"logic of Musk’s empire is total. X shapes the discourse. Grok automates it. Grokipedia rewrites the historical record. Starlink can deliver it all, everywhere, to everyone. Each layer reinforces the others. It’s not about winning arguments in the public sphere. It’s about building a replacement."
Spain will deliver 100 VAMTAC armored tactical vehicles and a batch of 155mm artillery ammunition to Ukraine this year, Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles announced during a visit to Kyiv.
Deliveries are scheduled to begin in May.
Thank you Spain! 🇪🇸🇺🇦
It’s not a housing crisis. It’s a government choice. It’s not market dysfunction. It’s profit extraction. Homelessness is not a bug. It’s a policy feature.
You’ll need a car.
The site is a short drive away from the rarest town, Santo Domingo de Silos, which is beautiful but quite remote.

LT. GEN. HERTLING: Ukrainians have proven themselves to be the ultimate fighting force in Europe right now.
And it’s not just the combination of their new technologies and their evolutions on the battlefield. It’s continued grit and leadership dynamics of the people in charge.
The graveyard set from TGTBATU is about two hours from me.
When it was rediscovered, some locals decided to restore it.
To raise money to pay for the work, they sold plots in the graveyard and they would put your name on a wooden cross.

Put yourself in shoes of someone in a oil & gas importing country
Its triage: which hospitals get fuel, which industries shut, which crops get fertilizers?
Those who don't have deep pockets in a bidding war pay in increased hunger, lost wages and shrinking economies.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?
Israeli forces have destroyed over 1,000 homes daily since March 2, according to Lebanon’s scientific research council.
Despite fine words, some young people still face homelessness when leaving state care. “You’re building the next generation of long-term homeless,” says one charity official.
Refusing to see the pattern from Gaza repeating in Lebanon is another failure of the international community.
Yes, Hezbollah should be disarmed.
But collective punishment is a war crime.
Latest in @theatlantic.com The Ukrainians are now longer pretending that Donald Trump's USA is their friend. Their honesty is important as they seem to understand how much Trump is helping Putin and how important it is that Europe stick together. Gift Link. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
_"The Government’s consistent cheerleading for data centre expansion has reached a point of reckless disconnect from the economic reality of Irish citizens... Irish families are paying nearly double the electricity rates of these industrial facilities, effectively subsidizing the massive energy consumption of global tech giants while struggling with a punishing cost-of-living crisis." https://greenparty.ie/news/uncritical-expansion-data-centres-will-fuel-social-inequality-and-energy-crisis-cllr-hazel-chu
Data centres uses 32% of Ireland's total electricity supply but pay almost less than half of the residential rate. So we're effectively subsidizing tech giants during a cost of living & energy crisis. Meanwhile this Govt continues to cheerlead their expansion & continue to fail in their obligations.
And sharks with frickin lasers on their heads?

You don’t grow out of it.
BROWDER: Slovak PM Fico is on Putin's side, and Czech PM Babiš is basically junior Orbán.
What's interesting, if they want to remain Prime Ministers, they should watch how Hungarians uniformly rejected Orbán's pro-Putin stance, and that should serve as a clear warning to them.
In Gaza, the effects of war do not end when the bombing stops. A silent health crisis is emerging among pregnant women and their children. Since the start of Israel’s assault, maternity wards have reported alarming increases in miscarriages, premature births, and rare congenital disabilities.
Scientists in Spain have developed a groundbreaking solar panel capable of generating electricity from both sunlight and raindrops.
World Aquatics has allowed athletes from russia and Belarus to compete under their own flags, with their national anthems, and in their official uniforms.
With Ukrainians being killed every day, Russian inclusion is nothing less than a promotion of war and murder!
“🇪🇸🇪🇺: 🇮🇱💥🇵🇸
"Gaza Genocide: Spain insists on suspending the Israel-EU agreement."
Pedro Sanchez saves the EU's honour, but he is quite isolated!
Emmanuel Macron, Ursula von der Leyen, and all the other European leaders are limiting themselves to empty protests and refusing to act against Israel.”
I don’t I’ve ever watched a full episode of the original.
APPLEBAUM: Orbán is a Russian puppet in Europe, which is very strange and hard to get your mind around if you think of Hungary fighting Russians in 1956 and of Orbán as anti-communist in 1989.
Cowards and bullies.
A clusterfuck of cunts?
But not strongly enough to terminate the EU-Israel trade agreement even though one party had been in violation of said agreement since its inception.
He’s just an 0.
What are the odds. We’re watching it too.
It’s hard to overstate how much of this moment is driven by people who got a taste of accountability and were very, very mad about it.
