Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.

We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.

Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

NEW: Who’s guiding Elon Musk as he navigates life in DC—and uses DOGE to dismantle key parts of the government? Stephen and Katie Miller, multiple sources tell WIRED.

An inside look into the couple who have become integral to the world’s richest man and his ambitions in Washington.
Elon Musk's Takeover Is Being Aided by a Trumpworld Power Couple
Stephen and Katie Miller—he's "the prime minister," sources say; she's DOGE's comms guru—liaise between the White House and Elon Musk, and are centrally involved as he tears the government apart.

No, 150-year-olds aren't collecting Social Security benefits. Elon Musk claims to have found rampant fraud; but there's a much simpler explanation.

This week, the Washington Post backed out of a “Fire Elon Musk” advertising order that was to run as a wrap on some of its Tuesday editions, according to the advocacy group Common Cause. 

The group said it signed a $115,000 agreement.

Anytime a storm is brewing, your local forecasters are getting the latest data from NOAA. As the agency faces an uncertain future, one thing's for sure: for-profit companies would struggle to replicate NOAA's weather-forecasting prowess.

Hyvä essee. Erottelukykyisempää tosin olisi erottaa länsimaisesta elämänmenosta rakenteet kuten kapitalismi ja "arvot", jotta viimeksimainittu olisi hyödyllinen käsite. Kapitalismin pakkoja ei muuteta arvoja muuttamalla, monia asioita muutetaan.

Essee | Länsimaisista arvoista ei kannata paljon ylpeillä
Länsimaiseen arvoyhteisöön kannattaa suhtautua kriittisesti, sillä arvomme tuovat ja ylläpitävät paitsi vapautta myös tuhoa ja ristiriitoja, kirjoittaa Janne Saarikivi.

Tämä varmaan herättää keskustelua ja hyvä niin. Minusta ongelman ydin on, että edes alueluovutuksia sisältävään rauhaan tarvitaan kaksi ja Putinin kanssa ei minkäänlaista rauhaa ilman massiivista sotiaallista uhkaa. Edes huono rauha ei ole ollut korteissa Putinin vuoksi.

Kolumni | Suomalaiset eivät ole valmiita huonoon rauhaan Ukrainassa, mutta Suomen päättäjien pitää olla
Mitä tahansa lähikuukausina tapahtuukin, Ukraina ei voita sotaa Venäjää vastaan. Siksi on selvää, että maa voi joutua solmimaan myös itselleen epäedullisen rauhan.

You cannot fire so many people and shutter so many agencies and services and not expect things to start to go very bad very quickly.

Our job is to highlight not only the chaos and cruelty of the firings, but also the devastating consequences.

The public must turn on this madness and soon.
