The #NathanGill bribery case is one of the clearest documented instances where money, messaging and political access intersect in a way that can be traced from a European politician back to figures in Medvedchuk’s and Medvedev’s circles - and thus to Putin

Het gaslighten van rechts is vrij eenvoudig te herkennen: critici wordt verweten te polariseren, te schelden of ‘boos te zijn’, net zo lang tot dat een soort geaccepteerde waarheid wordt. In dat licht is het treurig dat NRC de Wijers-fophef bracht

Rechts wil niets liever dan dat het over de toon gaat, want dat leent zich uitstekend voor een valse balans

Dit is wel een journalistiek-ethisch probleem van de buitencategorie, @nrc.nl. De schijn is nu gewekt dat de krant zich heeft laten lenen voor een VVD-operatie ter beschadiging van een informateur die PvdA/GL bij het proces wilde betrekken. Dat is een extreem ernstige situatie.

Abolish billionaires
Bloomberg just doubled down on his support for Cuomo.
Bloomberg—who has hoarded $109.4B—has spent $8M to get Cuomo elected. That's like the average American household spending $4.38.
Billionaires got us into this affordability crisis. They will not get us out. Abolish billionaires. Vote Mamdani.

I think this is such an effective media campaign.
In Czechia, the Paměť národa (Memory of the People) organisation is raising money for humanitarian aid/equipment for doctors in Ukraine.
The clever billboards show what war in Prague would look like, i.e. if Russia isn't stopped.

“Everyone in jail!”
A one-man protest in Georgia: comedian Onise Okriashvili stands alone before the Rustaveli statue. He often protests solo in public places.
Georgia now has nearly 200 political prisoners.

"We're not living in a functional democracy any longer"
Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"
