The ceasefire was supposed to halt the destruction of southern Lebanon. Instead, Israeli forces have razed dozens of villages, barred civilians from returning and expanded military infrastructure across occupied territory, Stephen Prager writes. #Lebanon #Israel #MiddleEast

It's not even a lie. Lies have some connection with reality, this does not. It is a fantasy bred from a diseased mind.

Allowing foreign AI companies to mine our power, water and data and giving a freebie on copyright is a new form of colonialism says the Pope’s AI adviser. He may not be infallible but he sure has hit the mark here. We needed defences and guardrails not white flags.

Ukraine spent 5 years developing their defense from Russia around Starlink, and last night, Musk cut it off to help Putin. The halls of power in Europe need to understand that Musk, Trump and Putin aim for total dissolution of democracy, and the primary target is Europe. @jayinkyiv.bsky.social

I hope everyone recognizes how insane it is for one person to be able to spend $366M on one election. It would take the average US worker 5,200 _years_ to even earn that much.

Francesca Albanese: I am shocked by the political inertia in the face of what Israelis -settlers and soldiers- are doing in Palestine, where terror has become a daily reality. In the West Bank, torching century old trees and poisoning livestock. When will the EU take action against Apartheid Israel?
