America did not storm the beaches at Normandy alone on June 6, 1944.

Fidias is a Greek Cypriot EU MP, who constantly rejects support for Ukraine, but doesn't mind voicing the Kremlin - here's an interview exposing him. As a Greek, I'm glad his propaganda is revealed.

One year ago, Anar Mammadli was arrested in Azerbaijan for exposing election fraud and standing up for civil rights. ✊🏼⚖️

He has spent 365 days in prison for defending democracy.

Azerbaijan jails activists. The world must stop looking away. 📢🇦🇿

This new JWST image looks like one big spiral galaxy; but it's not! The central spherical blob is a massive galaxy closer to us, and the reddish blue wrapped around it is another spiral galaxy behind it very far away.
