Graham Platner: “In 1990 there were fewer than 80 billionaires in the US. Today there are over 900. Do you see a state of Maine that is 10x wealthier than 1990? Have our wages gone up 10x? Do we have 10x the schools? 10x the hospitals? No, we have less. The money went somewhere and it wasn’t down here. it was stolen from us in a rigged system”

@docjazzmusic @PrezLives2022 One thing I will never forget, I was in the office of my CEO, who just called me to watch the News, less than 6h after the first hit, the TV claimed the authorities found the passports of the hijackers, in that inferno. At that point I knew that big lies were being told.

🚨‼️Dear Americans: 80% of you understand that the USS Liberty was attacked by 'Israel', killing 34 crew members. 50% of you suspect or realize that 'Israel' killed John F. Kennedy. So, why is it that only 30% of you are aware that the BIGGEST attack on the USA by 'Israel' actually was 9/11, killing 2,977 Americans? I am volunteering as your psychologist today. Because it's actually quite easy to explain. And at the end of my explanation, I hope you dive into doing some real RESEARCH - without using LLM's, because those are heavily programmed to lead you astray on this topic. 💥 The TRAUMA itself. Those of you who were adults at the time it happened, were of course deeply traumatized. The trauma became a part of your life. It was somehow processed, and the government's (completely non-believable) explanation for 9/11 was woven into that processing. Undoing or revisiting it means you would have to relive the trauma. Opening the wound. Your psyche revolts against this. 💥 COGNITIVE DISSONANCE. The very concept of 'Israel' being behind that attack, with the collusion of the 'Dubya' Bush administration, literally explodes your self-image as an American, and your (exceptionalist) concept of what the USA stands for. It's a reality that if internalized, would forever shatter your view of how special the USA is, including the 'freedom and democracy' delusion that you are living in. You would have to embrace deep distrust of your government as your default approach - and that's simply too much for you. 💥 YOUR PEERS. Those who know that 'Israel' did it are labeled 'conspiracy theorists' - and because that label effectively destroys your credibility among your peers, you suppress every line of thinking that leads you there. Logical thinking drags you in that direction with great force, but you use even greater force to pull back. Your subconscious tells you that following the logic would amount to 'credibility suicide'. Brain cells that scream inside your head to accept the truth, simply get switched off. 💥 THE CONSEQUENCES. You are well aware that understanding that 'Israel' did 9/11, would make 'Israel' the arch enemy of the United States. It would make you have to rearrange your thoughts from 'it sucks that our politicians are bought up by AIPAC and this is wrong' to: politicians whose allegiance is to 'Israel' first, are TRAITORS. If you are among those who understand that 'Israel' killed John F Kennedy, that should be enough already. But to understand that they did 9/11 is still worse, because that's not politics anymore. It is WAR. There's more, but I want to keep it bite-size. Read these FOUR points again. Slowly. Let them sink in. Think: USS Liberty - John F Kennedy - World Trade Center 9/11. You already have zero trust in 'Israel'. You have seen how they murder people in outrageous numbers, with not even a shred of consideration for human life. You already understand that doing the World Trade Center attacks is not beyond them, neither morally, nor ethically, nor practically. Your brain KNOWS that this massive attack can NOT be done by 19 dudes with box cutters. Your brain KNOWS that huge buildings like these don't collapse vertically when they get hit horizontally at the level of their top floors. Your brain KNOWS that BUILDING SEVEN underwent an undeniable controlled demolition on that very same morning, and went down the EXACT SAME WAY as the Two Towers. Your brain KNOWS you were lied to, in order to 'justify' 20 years of outrageous and ridiculous wars. Now go and do that research, and don't worry. When your brain wakes up to the truth, you will not feel worse. On the contrary, you will feel much better. That nasty bug buzzing in the depths of your brain will be gone. That feeling of 'the logic doesn't add up, dammit', will disappear. LET THE TRUTH LIBERATE YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME 🙏

@durov @Thronect @elonmusk Poor guys, Elon is the richest man on earth but he is a victim, and you as well. Why did you ask the french nationality? Why do you allow illegal activities run unchecked on telegram? Investigation is normal, stop crying and take your responsibilities

@Thronect @elonmusk I suspect you don’t know what ‘neo-fascist’ means, but if you dislike Elon or his algorithms, just don’t use his platform. A free world is one where governments don’t force private companies to silence uncomfortable narratives.

Macron’s France is losing legitimacy as it weaponizes criminal investigations to suppress free speech and privacy. The U.S. Department of Justice has refused to assist France in its investigation of @elonmusk, calling the case politically motivated. The French prosecutor’s office claims to be independent, but that is untrue: French prosecutors are hired, fired, and promoted by the government. The judicial police — who provide often misleading reports to investigative judges — are also controlled by the government. 🎭 I’m under a similar investigation in France: over a dozen charges, each carrying up to 10 years in prison. Proud to stand alongside Elon Musk and others targeted by Macron's campaign against digital rights. In Macron’s France, being investigated is the new Légion d’honneur.🎖

Ukraine blocked Russia's drone SIM cards. The drones just connected to Poland and Romania instead. Every Shahed Russia fires carries a T2 SIM card — government-ordered in bulk, supplied by Russia's state telecom Rostelecom to drone manufacturers. The cards let Russia control the drones remotely and stream live footage back to operators. Ukraine managed to block T2 roaming. But Shaheds near the Belarusian border connect to Belarusian networks. Near Poland and Romania, they switch to local roaming — using EU member states' infrastructure to guide weapons into Ukraine. Defense Ministry advisor Serhii Beskrestnov, who flagged the scheme, says the same SIM cards may already be steering the mysterious unidentified drones appearing across Europe. He's calling on all global telecoms to cut roaming deals with T2. 🔗 euromaidanpress.com/2026/04/19/isw…

@ChrisWickNews Don't forget the huge amount of money that trump's friends are doing by betting on financial products tied to oil price, which is going up and down according to his contradicting announcements. They are acquiring control of everything in the US. Not fed up about this? #MAGA1ST

We believed in Donald Trump. We thought he would put Americans first… protect our people… defend our future. But look at where the money is going. Hundreds of billions sent overseas — Ukraine, Israel, and now escalating costs tied to Iran — while people here are struggling just to survive. Families are falling behind. Homes are being lost. Groceries keep climbing. And yet the spending abroad never seems to slow down. Every dollar sent out feels like one taken away from someone here at home. Every foreign conflict funded raises a simple question — who is actually being prioritized? We were promised strength and protection. What many see now is a government more focused on global entanglements than the everyday reality facing its own citizens. If you’re tired of it… If you’re asking questions… If something about this doesn’t sit right with you… Share this. People need to start paying attention.

@compliantvc I get the humor but would you support driving under influence with no security belt and no speed limit in town? Also, get a flight on a plane that passed zero security checks.

Just spoke with dozens of European VCs They all agreed: AI is over No one is putting money into AI startups anymore OpenAI is likely going bankrupt I asked what the next big thing is They all answered in unison: Regulation. And the hot spot for the best regulations? Europe. Meanwhile, America is getting left behind

@Suewilson91 @BremainInSpain Of course you are welcome back any time. Please bring one Aston Martin for me. From the Mediterranean coast

Calling all EU citizens. Genuine question..... would you/your country support the UK rejoining the EU? Please state your country in comments. @BremainInSpain

@KobeissiLetter It's happening that some insiders are making a fortune on futures #maga

What just happened? Yesterday, at 8:45 AM ET, Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi announced that the Strait of Hormuz was "completely open" for all commercial vessels. At 9:06 AM ET, President Trump thanked Iran for reopening the Strait. Then, at 10:20 AM ET, Trump said Iran and the US were working together to remove all mines from the Strait of Hormuz. Between 10:40 AM ET and 12:00 PM ET, President Trump said Iran agreed to "never close the Strait again" and to "suspend its nuclear program indefinitely." Suddenly, at 6:14 PM ET, Iran's Speaker of the Parliament said Trump made "seven claims in one hour, all seven of which were false." Now, Iran has CLOSED the Strait of Hormuz again and oil tankers are being struck. What just happened behind the scenes?

@AndrewPerpetua I work in biological research and I observe the same pattern. People higher in hierarchy steal results without really understanding and then sell it off as the product of their genius, often leading to bad implementation bcs of bad understanding. Just to say you are not alone 👋

We map an incredible number of events, and it requires an insane amount of work from a group of people to make this possible. Yesterday I was listening to a woman from the ISW talk about how over the course of the past four years their processes have barely adapted. Suspicious. Over the past few years we have had to invest heavily in developing our own tools, adapting methodology, and increasing work efficiency to barely keep up with the exponential rise in footage. We've done this at significant personal expense, with no funding outside of small donations from our users and supporters. Not to mention the tens of thousands of work hours that have gone into collecting, processing, and analyzing the data. Which is often then stolen by aggregators or others so they can lazily synthesize the data for their own purposes, spending 20 minutes vibe coding some dashboard built on top of maps they never bought licenses to, data they stole from others. Or, worse yet, the people who steal data, and then pretend to have collected it themselves. Who go on talks about how their data cannot come from AI because it takes a human touch to analyze the data. Which you then sell commercially to governments or journalists who whoever will buy it. And then when you look under the hood, nearly all of their data is taken from others. And, in most cases, from the team of people producing our map here. But, hey, it took a lot of human effort to personally steal every data point you sell for a profit. And, somehow, the journalists, whose job is to be able to have a brain and understand the most basic things, do not see what is happening. That a middle man is coming through stealing data and then selling it to them. Or maybe it is convenient to the journalist, because other journalists have quoted this middleman so many times that the middleman is now considered some sort of valued source, even though they aren't a source at all. They are an aggregator of other people's work. But, even worse, is that that work they are aggregating IS ALREADY AGGREGATED BY THE CREATORS OF THE WORK. So the aggregation is not even valuable or unique in the first place. Which brings us back to the true hilarity of the situation. Journalists think that sources of information are less valuable than officially recognized aggregators. Let that sink in. Let it stew within you. Journalists think that people who do work, who understand the work, who understands what went into the work and what it means and its limitations are LESS VALUABLE than people who take others people's work, without understanding context, without fully understanding what it means, having to add abstractions and bias and noise. Historically, it was the job of a journalist to seek out sources for the exact reason of getting closer to the truth. Today, journalists avoid them intentionally for the sake of time savings and laziness. What do you think this says about the quality of their work? What do you think the impact is on their work? If you look at the writing, you see the impact clearly. You see bias amplified. You see incorrect information amplified. And, occasionally, when Russian propaganda is quoted as a legitimate source (which these aggregators do regularly btw), you see Russian propaganda accepted as literal fact and injected into the discourse uncritically even by anti-Russian news outlets who rely on these aggregators rather than actual information sources. That is the true result. So, to get back to my original point: It takes an insane amount of work to analyze and map this data.

@cturnbull1968 Why do you need a second home and how can you be "barely making it" if you own 2 houses? With two houses you are well off, and if you don't know how to manage it let me know I can do for you.

If he can tax the second homes of millionaires, that are worth $5M or more, that means it’s only a matter of time before he goes after the second homes of average, hard working, everyday Americans that are barely making it. Diabolical.

@TallbarFIN If I am not wrong under soviets many people were given state job (even if working <1h per day) or a pension (even if minimal amount). People got used to this and those with zero competences probably prefer that system to the competitive western-style job market. My interpretation

Why are so many southeastern European countries, which have won their freedom from Soviet oppression, so eager to return to being russian vassals? Is their memory so short? Can't they see what russia is? As a Finn, I simply can't understand.

Kyiv burns as Ukraine no longer has any Patriot interceptor missiles - the only defense against Russian Iskander ballistic missiles. Vice President Vance recently bragged of his "proudest" achievement - cutting off military support for Ukraine.

The pope is a bit upset. He is right.

💔🇺🇦 At least 18 dead and 121 injured, including children… 📍Kyiv - 5 dead, including 2 children, 58 injured. 📍Dnipro - 3 dead, 34 injured. 📍Odesa - 9 dead, 23 injured. 📍Kharkiv - 2 injured. 📍Zaporizhzhia - 1 woman killed.

Absolutely horrific night in Ukraine last night - 44 ballistic missiles and 659 drones fired from Russia. Deaths in Kyiv, Odessa and Dnipro. Not even bothering to hide the fact that it is residential areas under attack. Barely on the news outside Ukraine. And @JDVance says he is proud that USA has pulled its support so the aggressor can keep aggressing. Disgusting. But Europe has to do even more now

Brutal, but to understand the current battlefield, you have to see it, I mean up close. With a 100km wide kill zones, many Russians will die never actually seeing an enemy position, in form up points, bases, and the travel in. This "road of death" - a small section in the Pokrovsky direction, in the Donetsk region, FPV drones destroyed a dozen units of military equipment and enemy assault vehicles This is the reality of Putin’s war.

Hi, everybody. We have a series where pilots explain how strikes actually happen. It’s in Ukrainian. We’re going to post it here. Which format works better for you? 1 – Original Ukrainian + English subtitles 2 – English voiceover (with accent) 3 – English voiceover + subtitles

THE CHAOS TRUMP HAS CAUSED TO THE WORLD ORDER - this week alone! * Mexico’s President is angry at Trump over deaths of Mexican nationals in ICE custody and the Cuba blockade. * Italy’s PM is upset with Trump’s treatment of the Pope. * Canada’s PM’s party won big in an election in a refutation of Trump * Trump’s pal in Hungary lost in a landslide * Saudi Foreign Minister, “The era of relying on the US has ended.” * Europeans are planing a “European NATO” without us * Europeans are planning a post war Strait of Hormuz effort without us. * China’s President says the world order is “crumbling into disarray” (he’s right) * Gallup finds the world views China’s leadership more favorably than the US under Trump.

Thank you @JDVance We are looking forward to see you supporting AFD in Germany and Le Pen in France. Please dont forget to support Fico. Kind regards, The Free World
