The suspension of Gil Duran from x shows that freedom of speech is an empty phrase by those who just want to dominate us. Gil is one of the most knowledgeable people concerning the ideology of the Techbros who don’t want to be challenged. They are just cowards!

“Palantir’s ‘manifesto’ sounds like the ramblings of a supervillain.” Palantir should be nowhere near our public services. It's time to kick Palantir out of our NHS. theguardian.com/technology/202…

This should be a much bigger story. The Trump administration is about to hand TotalEnergies, a French oil company, nearly $1 billion of your money to cancel its American offshore wind projects. And they are pulling the cash from an account they are not allowed to use this way. Here is how it works. The government has something called the Judgment Fund. Think of it as an emergency savings account for when the government loses a lawsuit or settles a real legal fight. It is not a checkbook the President can use whenever he feels like rewarding a company. To get around that rule, the administration is pretending TotalEnergies was about to sue. But TotalEnergies had no case. The company signed a contract in January 2025 with clear rules: the government cannot cancel these leases unless it first pauses the project for five years. The lease is less than four years old and was never paused. TotalEnergies agreed to those terms. There was no real lawsuit coming. So the administration invented a fake legal threat to justify raiding an account Congress controls. That matters because the Constitution says Congress, not the President, decides how taxpayer money gets spent. It gets worse. The White House claimed TotalEnergies would take the money and reinvest it in American oil and gas. The actual paperwork, now public, requires nothing of the kind. The company gets a billion dollars of taxpayer money and owes us nothing. So Americans are paying a foreign oil company to shut down clean energy projects here at home, using money that was never supposed to be spent this way, with zero strings attached. That is illegal, unethical, and a scandal hiding in plain sight.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them. New piece (Link in reply)

A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, phones wiped, ship blown up, disappeared to El Salvador, then released without charge. “They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities said things had been handled very badly.”

Россия сбросила на украинскую Константиновку трехтонную авиабомбу. В Констаниновке до сих пор остаётся больше 2 тысяч человек. Трехтонная бомба. Целый квартал в труху. Я хочу чтобы это видео увидело как можно больше иностранных аккаунтов. Россия государство террорист

The White House is completely silent as BBC confirms a consistent pattern of massive financial spikes occurring just minutes before Donald Trump makes market moving announcements. The administration is facing severe allegations of illegally profiteering off inside knowledge.

🇺🇸🤝 22 bipartisan House Representatives are pushing back against Putin — and they're doing it together. H.R. 6856, the Peace Through Strength Against Russia Act of 2025, is the most comprehensive Russia sanctions bill in the House this Congress. It mandates sanctions on Russian officials and oligarchs, severs Russia's access to global financial systems, closes energy loopholes fueling the Kremlin's war machine — and makes one thing crystal clear: aggression will not go unpunished. Sponsored by Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA-1), the bill has grown into a powerful bipartisan coalition.

Not enough people are talking about this. Hungary’s incoming PM has said that Viktor Orbán used Hungarian government funds to help finance CPAC, the flagship networking event for GOP candidates, members of Congress, and conservative media in this country. Under U.S. law, that is not just a Hungarian problem. Foreign governments are barred from spending money in American elections, and Americans are forbidden from soliciting or accepting it. If these allegations are true, this is a direct attack on the integrity of American democracy. We need a full investigation by Congress, the FEC, and the DOJ. The American people deserve to know exactly what flowed from Orbán’s government into this country’s political ecosystem, who was on the receiving end, and what it bought. ms.now/opinion/new-hu…

»Als Adam grub und Eva spann, wo war denn da der Edelmann?« "When Adam delved and Eve span, where then was the nobleman?" Rich elites, impossible living conditions for everyone else - it's happened before, & led to the largest uprising in German history. bergstrompressbooks.com/en/history/100…

Not a single American outlet has bothered to touch this very obvious story. It’s clear there are things they are not allowed to cover and the mainstream media and press dutifully obeys.

I think it’s bad that the FBI director is being paid by the Russian government.

Reported this racist, nativist AI slop BS that showed up uninvited in my feed to @facebook . Facebook thinks it's cool and ok. I think it tells you everything you need to know about Facebook and @Meta .

Turns out they did, in fact, renew the general license on Russian oil. This will likely mean billions in new funding for Russia to fuel its war on Ukraine.

You can't mine at Yosemite. You can't mine at Yellowstone. You shouldn't be allowed to mine in the Boundary Waters. Republicans are trying to sell out our most pristine waters to a foreign mining corporation. NO.
