Patriots, eh?

EU top court strikes down Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ+ rules Viktor Orbán had banned mentions of homosexuality in media accessible to children and outlawed Pride marches.

🚨🚨It is not often #EUlaw make the headlines but today's significant seminal ruling by the @eucourtofjustice.bsky.social where the Court ruled that #hungarian laws breached the fundamental values of the EU in Art 2 TEU is a major political victory for #LGBTI+ rights. 🧵 www.politico.eu/article/eu-t...

The idea that being *a member of the House of Lords* in any way means you can be trusted with Top Secret/STRAP material without proper vetting is so beyond absurd that this must surely be a joke?

🔥 This court ruling is historical! Not only does it ban LGBTI discrimination, but for the first time it issues a ruling based on Art 2 of the Treaties, that lays down the values on which the European Union is based. A big step for the European Union as a community of values

Spyware abuse is not a tech-nerd issue: it is aimed at eliminating checks and balances. It destroys democracy, that affects us all

'When I returned from Gaza they called me a hero. But I felt I was a monster' Some of Them Killed Civilians in Gaza; Others Just Looked On, or Witnessed Abuse and Cover-ups in the Name of Revenge. Now They're Trying to Cope With Something a Bit Different Than PTSD

I don’t give af about mass murderers feeling bad for murdering our children.

You *are* a monster for mass murdering civilians.

You want to feel human again? Expose those who gave you the order to murder. Be a ‘traitor’.

Grow a fucking spine. 🧵

UAE official: More than 90% of Iranian targets were civilian infrastructure

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

Dit is ook relevant voor Nederland. Geert Wilders, de fascistische handlanger van Orbán en Poetin, is lid van de Tweede Kamercommissie voor de Inlichtingen en Veiligheidsdiensten.

We staan erbij en laten het gebeuren, de ondermijning van de democratie en rechtstaat.

“In the early days of the war, the paper market was where the fears about the conflict’s impact showed up. … Now, the situation has inverted: The physical market is still pricing today’s scarcity; the financial market is pricing the end of the war.”

Insightful, really helped me understand the nuances of oil prices more than anything I’ve seen this far. It helped me sort out a lot of how to think through the war as a whole.

📢 We've reached *3000* documented authoritarian-like actions of Trump's second term since Jan 2025...

the two most recent are classic suppression of the press & using the justice system to attack political enemies

This says it all: “We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism.”

Read the political agenda of the #Palantir bosses 👇. Allowing this company to run our most critical systems - in health care, police, security - is beyond naive. It is knowingly exposing our society to those who want to destroy it. Our governments are inviting them in.
