US Citizens, know your rights! Memorize these laws:

Officers can be held PERSONALLY liable for violating US Citizen rights. Meaning they can lose their jobs, homes, EVERYTHING!

Indeed, repeating any White House claim that it is about to really help Ukraine or punish Russia is foolish. Cant people see that for months the White House has been trying to manipulate public opinion on this issue?

Brexit Bin 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 @brexitbin.bsky.social · 46m

Brexit was supposed to "Take back control" of immigration. But it's been such a disaster that only 19% think it's working. The majority now want to return to the system we had before we left the EU – including a majority of Reform voters!

Brits are pining for the pre-Brexit migration system

The idea was that leaving the bloc would give the U.K. back “control” of its borders and create a fairer system. But the widespread perception is it didn’t turn out that way.

it's 30 years later and this still happens.

Jenna Ortega revealed in an interview with The New York Times that she quit Twitter after seeing explicit images of herself generated by Al when she was a teenager. She also became inundated with messages from fans that ranged from "disgusting" to "absurd."
"I hate AI," Ortega said. "I mean, here's the thing: AI could be used for incredible things. I think I saw something the other day where they were saying that artificial intelligence was able to detect breast cancer four years before it progressed. That's beautiful. Let's keep it to that. Did I like being 14 and making a Twitter account because I was supposed to and seeing dirty edited content of me as a child? No. It's terrifying. It's corrupt. It's wrong."

It's this simple: At the beginning, Ukraine needed NATO. Now NATO needs Ukraine. By trying to stop Ukraine joining NATO, the war criminal Putin had made Ukraine an indespensible NATO partner – and, right now, it's the best trained and most successful fighting force in Europe!
