This #meme is dedicated to anyone who has argued that we need client side scanning, digital ID, encryption backdoors and so on for "child safety". That's not safety, it's surveillance.

He's lying... of course.
Trump will hide, not stop, the military aid to Israel:
Due to lawmaker hostility to military funding for Israel, Congress proposes moving funding from a visible annual aid vote to a joint US-Israel defense acquisition with minimal oversight & accountability.
"The result would be a defense relationship that is simultaneously deeper & less transparent."
Sec 224, 2027 National Defense Authorization Act.

Interview: "How the International Community Sold Out Gaza & Killed Itself in the Process"
"The UN gave Gaza to Donald Trump." It declared Trump head of the Board of Peace with a veto on any decision.
Trump can do as he pleases with no restraint. And Jared Kushner said, "We are going to treat Gaza as if it's a private property."
&, atypically, the resolution omits 80-yrs worth of UN legal context on Gaza.

Report: Palantir Targets UK MPs With ‘Intimidating’ Letters
"British MPs who criticised Palantir in parliament received 'intimidating' letters from the US spytech firm".
Eg, Palantir warned Clive Lewis that it "was surveilling his activities relating to Palantir last month", a letter that Lewis described as “very Big Brother” & an “implicit threat”.

FYI on #France. In the last 24 hours:
🕵️ A French newspaper revealed the government tried to force the intelligence services to blame a far-left party for the riots.
👮 They attempted to arrest a MP from that party.
🌙 They have imposed curfews in cities across the country.
🪖 They announced that the army will be deployed during the next protest.
France is rapidly sliding into authoritarianism.

This photo, taken yesterday from the cockpit of a Romanian F16, shows that jet shooting down Russian drones over Romanian territorial waters.
This comes as Russia had escalated its attacks on shipping in the black sea, striking multiple vessels, including in Romanian territorial waters.
#Europe already at war with #Russia, we just don't realise yet.

Report: Israel is continuing to take over more of Gaza (now ~65%, up from the "agreed" 53% a year ago).
It constantly moves the Yellow Line, violently forcing Gazans into a smaller & smaller space.
The military has killed ~1,500 Palestinians in the past year in breach of the so-called “ceasefire”.

Re "The ONLY problem with the ceasefire in Gaza is that Israel never ceased firing."
That's just one symptom of the disease.
From the time the UN handed Trump the deed to Gaza, it was clear that the entire US-Israel exercise would be about enabling the israelis to empty Gaza of Palestinians & covering for Israel with blatant lies.
Along with most western & Arab govts, the UN itself is now complicit in genocide. Utterly unspeakable.

tldr: we pay higher spreads on debt we need to finance the #EU because German and Dutch politicians have to hide the (insufficient) joint EU debt from their voters because they made them believe it's morally hazardous to issue EU debt because lazy Southerners would spend it on booze and twinks.
At my most voracious, eurobisexual peak, I could at best blow 2 billion a year on wine and groupies. Still leaves 798 for climate change mitigation and Ukraine. 🥂

Report: "Meta briefly disabled ads on the Facebook page of Brazil’s leftwing president on Friday – just days before he faces a far-right challenger in national elections."
But it allows paid posts calling for the military to ‘take back power.'
Pres Lula da Silva's campaign has filed an appeal & is awaiting explanation.

#DanJørgensen “Our electrification rate has stagnated for the last decade. We need to electrify and we need to do it much faster,” he said."
Conflicted re: how much shit I should give any Danish politician as, to its credit, #Denmark is the only country among the "Hansa League" frauds to have denounced frugalism. We should welcome anyone seeing the light... But this is still a classic use case for the: "We're all trying to find the guy who did this" meme.

Latest in my "laugh-cry-die while reading the FT" series.
Fatih Birol said that Europe’s low electrification rate — electricity’s share of the energy consumed in the EU — of around 23 per cent is holding back the bloc’s competitiveness and economic “sovereignty”.
“This is in my view a major mistake for Europe,” Birol told the FT. “In general, I would have hoped and expected that Europe would have been more responsive to this crisis.”

Bleakly amusing to me that 4 years into Russia attacking Europe and using energy to blackmail us, 🇪🇺 electricity distribution grids are paying infomercials to ask for large-scale investments in ageing infrastructure:
"Distribution grids will require EUR 730 billion investment by 2040 and a significant share of this will be dedicated specifically to resilience measures"
...but we can't have eurobonds because #FrugalsInTrenches still think I'll spend it all on booze and twinks.

Interview: "What matters in Israel’s election"
Miko Peled says opposition to Netanyahu is not rejection of Israel’s wars or occupation.
Two issues matter, Peled says: military service exemptions for ultra-Orthodox & demands for an inquiry into failures re Oct 7.
“All the other stuff is nonsense because people support the genocide..attacks on Iran..occupation of Southern Lebanon & parts of Syria.”
