Ko mums vēl ir uzspiedusi Eiropa? Es atceros, kā mums 'uzspieda' holokausta pētniecību, kuru daudzi politiķi un arī vēsturnieki labprāt būtu paslaucījuši zem tepiķīša - sak, neies jau šmuci uz āru nest.

Musk's Grok was asked to verify if a tweet featuring a graphic image of the attack on the LNER train was real.

I'm not sharing the whole image but here is part of it and the text.

1/3

Several innocent people were stabbed
by unknown attackers on a moving train
in Cambridgeshire, UK

Police arrested two suspects at the
scene.
The sad reality is, Britain is now less safe
than many places people call
"dangerous."

Today, London feels more like Kabul than Uk

"Progresīvie un liberālie politiķi, aktīvisti un viedokļu līderi skaļi pauž savu nostāju. Jūs cīnāties par savu vērtību simbolu. Viena no šīs cīņas izpausmēm ir dažādas esejas un uzsaukumi. Tā nav auglīga pieeja..." Pēteris Pērkons, Telos

Jā, bet kāpēc latvieši sauc dainas par dainām, bet ne dziesmām? OK, dažreiz saka arī tautudziesmas.

But the fight isn’t over yet!

Just why?

Populism often just comes down to hating women.

Latvia’s parliament votes to quit global treaty protecting women

Lawmakers voted to withdraw from the Istanbul Convention just a year after it came into force, with the move awaiting approval from Latvia’s president.

We just adopted our 19th sanctions package.

It targets Russian banks, crypto exchanges, entities in India and China, among others.

The EU is curbing Russian diplomats’ movements to counter the attempts of destabilisation.

It is increasingly harder for Putin to fund this war.
