Totaling ~€4.25B, international winter aid for Ukraine's grid rests on two pillars: European state funds build the physical hardware, while US tech giants & private foundations secure the digital and local resilience. 🇺🇦🔌 #Ukraine#Energy#WinterHelp
🌍 Global solidarity for 🇺🇦! Outside the US & EU, a powerful coalition secures Ukraine’s grid for winter 2026. From Japan’s high-tech turbines & Canada’s funds to Taiwan’s medical generators & Swiss micro-grids, democracies stand united. #StandWithUkraine
Bottom line: The Trump admin provides $0 in new public funds for civilian winter/energy aid in 2026. Only a Congress-mandated $400M defense minimum remains. This is why private US tech, foundations & European funds are vital to keep Ukraine’s grid alive. #Ukrainebsky.app/profile/donf...

A perfect division of labor: Europe delivers the heavy 50Hz hardware and grid financing. US tech companies secure the cyber-shield & cloud infrastructure, while private foundations bypass red tape to ship thousands of local generators. #StandWithUkraine#TechAid#EnergySecurity
150.000 Menschen in Belgrad. Abschlusskundgebung der wohl größten Demokratiebewegung Europas.
Am Sonntag tritt sie bei unfreien und unfairen Wahlen gegen ein rechtsautoritäres Regime an. Und angesichts der politischen Lage in Europa ist es bemerkenswert, wie wenig darüber eigentlich berichtet wird.
I had a little time to think, and a clip popped into my head regarding Brexit, you’d just have to replace “woman” with “Brexit.” It kind of captures my view of the current situation in the UK.

One of the best and most balanced analyses of why the public is turning against Trump's policies—and of how far the country has been transformed by the political climate in which my political opponents are portrayed as enemies—is this one.

Die "reale" Zukunftsphantasie von drei Männern die globale Welt zu bestimmen.

We see no indication from Russia that it wants to end this war, or pursue any form of truce or peace.
That's why we need to help Ukrainians get through winter and defend their country.
Ukrainians need more air defence. We need to increase pressure on Russia to make it clear they have to negotiate.

“Anyone who, through betrayal, stupidity or for money, seeks to weaken Ukraine in its defense against Russian aggression is acting directly against their own people, their country’s security and its sovereignty,” Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said. #Ukraine
Zelenskyy might be saving our democracy. The mad genius is bombing Russian data centers linked to FAKE NEWS bot farms. Without them, Putin’s midterm influence will accidentally fall from a 30th floor window.

There is, writes @davidfrum.bsky.social, an "implicit quid pro quo in these lucrative deals offered to Trump’s family and friends: If you compel Ukraine to surrender, we will enrich you beyond reckoning"

Trump könnte auch ersetzt von einer Ki als Gummipuppe zur Wahl gestellt werden.
Seine Kernwählerschaft sieht in ihrem Amerika nur eine einzige Lebensmöglichkeit:
Wir als Republikaner gegen das "Nicht"-Amerika, wir sind die Hüter und Beschützer des Landes.
Einzig Glaube, null Reflexion.
Hours after President Trump announced a deal to buy Russian diesel, a Russian attack in Ukraine, on Saturday killed at least 20 people. The Kremlin said there would be no immediate resumption of discussions to end the war. Trump said Ukraine should “get a new president.” trib.al/6soAOJj
Musk is complicit b/c he openly supports fascist parties like the AfD.

Some details: Kremlev, the Russian who sponsored Don Jr's wedding, is a former member of the Night Wolves biker gang, went to China with Putin and is personally sanctioned by Ukraine for his role in abducting children

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

True cost of Brexit on UK trade revealed as calls to rejoin single market grow. The damning findings comes as a major new survey shows that 98.2 per cent of businesses want access to the EU single market restored

Das „Spiegel“-Cover mit AfD-Spitzenkandidat Ulrich Siegmund sollte warnen, doch es könnte ihm stattdessen nützen. Sonya Winterberg analysiert, warum das Magazin mit der Inszenierung nicht nur Relevanz abbildet, sondern selbst Bedeutung erzeugt – und damit der AfD eine unerwartete Bühne bietet:
Why? Its easy for understranding:
1.
If the free movement of people is abolished, it will lead to massive trade barriers, a severe shortage of skilled workers, excessive bureaucracy, and a significant decline in economic prosperity in all participating countries.
More BS from those who do not understand single market rules and think the UK deserves exceptional status. A waste of time www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...
3.
Border and passenger controls: Long wait times are occurring at the borders for commuters, tourists, and regular travelers. Heavy bureaucracy: Cumbersome visa procedures, work permits, and passport checks massively increase costs for the government and the economy.
4.
Social and Legal Consequences:Restricted mobility: Citizens lose the right to live, study, or spend their retirement freely in another member state. Service bottlenecks: Tradespeople and technicians are no longer allowed to carry out work in other EU countries without strict case-by-case reviews.

Relocation of Production: Since workers are not allowed to move freely, companies are increasingly having to set up expensive production facilities abroad instead of operating flexibly.
