Musk's favorite German political party AGAIN caught working for the Kremlin. Again and again yet Berlin fails to put this "political party" to sleep. https://t.co/G1CjuIP8V2

Palantir, Meta and OpenAi, including their executives, donated over $7 million to Trump. That $7M buys their executives the chance to cosplay as Lt Colonels, and make military decisions that benefit their companies and increase their profits. This is what corruption looks like.

Antoni Lallican was killed on 3 Oct when a Russian drone directly targeted him near Kramatorsk. He was clearly marked “PRESS”. As the world marked the International Day to #EndImpunity last Sunday, his case shows how war reporters are being treated as targets, not observers.

Una estafa sin precedentes: han clonado la web de la @DGTes y envían SMS desde su propio número para exigir el pago inmediato de multas falsas. Una operación tan sofisticada que muchos ya han caído.
