A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children. I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.

Look at this unstoppable river of humanity flooding Chicago’s lakefront Tens of thousands roaring “#NoKings” against the orange tyrant who dreams of crowns and thrones. Trump’s fragile ego can’t handle the truth: America is rising to crush his authoritarian fantasy.

This is what billionaire ownership of the media means: Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta shut down the No Kings account for hours during the height of their protests. Meta suppressed accounts supporting Brazil President Lula da Silva in the recent election. Larry Ellison’s TikTok blocked advertising for a documentary criticizing Elon Musk. Fight back. Defeat oligarchy. Preserve democracy.

'‘Dood aan de Arabieren’, is bij Maccabi Tel Aviv een mantra. Een club die ‘dood aan de Joden’ zou zingen, wordt door de UEFA uitgesloten. @hansvdw slaat spijkers met koppen: demorgen.be/ts-b924d844/

Volgens Sander Schimmelpenninck is het VVD-frame dat de PVV economisch links is, een vals frame. De PVV van #Wilders heeft mensen aan de onderkant niets te bieden. Ze is kneiterrechts. @SanderSchimmelp #formatie
