“Hack! Hack! We need hackers!”

Hackers can play a role in supporting popular uprisings, but in America, there is currently nothing to support—yet.

The pro-palestinian, anti-war voters who refused to vote at the last election must accept that their protest was as deadly as it was naive.

Israel has occupied the West Bank for 56 years and annexed parts of Syria and Lebanon, Trump recognised Moroccan ownership of Western Sahara in 2020 and Biden never reversed it. This slow rot of the post WW2 international order is a long term result of US "global leadership".

Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 has so many beautiful places, but my absolute favourite has to be the big open landscapes of Assynt & Coigach. I can’t wait to be back there this month. It’s truly where my heart is.

Image title: Far Away Places. Three layers of mountain side recede into a very hazy white sky starting in the bottom left corner, fading to white nothingness in the top right. There is low cloud separating the layers. Image title: Lightstrike. A blue/indigo loch with patches of light and dark water reflects the peach orange sunset light that zig zags across the loch like a lightning strike. The sky is the same orange and has an oppressive grey/blue layer above it. The loch and sky are separated by a ridge of hills. Image title: Dark Mirror. In the foreground is a small loch with silhouetted reeds. The loch is reflecting the pink and blue sky right after sunset. The loch is surrounded by silhouetted layers of hill that fall to black. The distance recedes into blue mountains with layers of mist hanging between the hills. The sky is blue and pink. Image title: Time. Layers and layers of brown and grey hills recede into the middle of the image. The layers are side lit by the rising sun. Beyond the layers are a series of mountains that run from left to right across the middle of the frame. Above the mountains is a soft pink sky, warmed by the rising sun. It is hazy and cloudy.

Europe standing stronger on the world stage doesn't just mean helping Ukraine. If we ignore abductions like Lasha Jioshvili's and let the people of Georgia down, we are letting Putin win a war that we don't appear to realise we are already in. But we are in a war, like it or not.

TV Pirveli cameraman Lasha Jioshvili was kidnapped on the streets of Tbilisi by unidentified masked individuals around half an hour ago. His whereabouts are unknown. This is terror. Video: @netgazeti.org

The rest of NATO notes that the US has not been spending 5% of GDP on Defense for over 30 years. Pursuant to US policy, NATO feels no obligation to defend the USA from itself and does not endorse a policy of regime change.

#Cats of BlueSky 👇
euromaidanpress.bsky.social Euromaidan Press @euromaidanpress.bsky.social · Apr 12
On the Kherson-Kramatorsk train, a 57-year-old Ukrainian soldier cradles a cat in his arms and falls asleep.

He’s carrying it to a family in Kyiv. For a brief moment, there is no war - just warmth, quiet, and the steady hum of the train.
