Musk's location feature on X accidentally exposed prominent "Patriot Voice" MAGA accounts as foreign actors operating from places like Nigeria and Eastern Europe. Forget manufacturing, couldn't even make MAGA outrage in America🤦‍♂️

#COP30 gave us a catchy slogan 'Global MutirĂŁo', but little cash. Rich nations celebrated tripling adaptation funds but ignored trillions needed for energy transition. For Global South, a climate deal without roadmap for fossils phaseout and guaranteed finance means little.

In a normal world, this should be an immense scandal in Europe. Le Monde has a long article ( https://t.co/YMCO5sHYcL) describing the hellish life of Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the ICC in The Hague, due to U.S. sanctions punishing him for authorizing arrest warrants

The UN system is broken and ineffective, with five countries holding global security hostage with a privilege they got 80 years ago, and whose veto power now ensures crises in Ukraine, Gaza and Sudan stay unresolved. #UNReform

We see new campaign of lies against vaping with hashtag #VapeFreeBharat. 5,500 kids start smoking/khaini in India everyday, 9% are regular users. A tiny number (way <1%, rich kids) are vapers. Let's focus on the real problem. @narendramodi @jpnadda @rahulgandhi @amitmalviya
