Crazy how low #electricity prices are on the EU market today (deeply in the negative): this just shows how #renewables can drive down prices. If we keep a bit of nuclear and get the hang of energy storage and transmission, we can have cheap, carbon-free electricity continent-wide. #EUpol

Interview: "How Hawkish Democrats, from Schumer to Harris, Paved the Way for War with Iran" "The climate that the Democrats have helped lay in these 20 years of hawkish statements & resolutions... really made Trump’s job easier & has enabled him, thus far, to get away with it." Dem opposition has been "largely on procedural grounds without making a forceful moral case against war". ~Stephen Zunes https://www.democracynow.org/2026/4/23/stephen_zunes #USPol #EUPol #IranWar #USImperialism #neocons #news #racism .

Israeli soldiers have been looting civilian property on a large scale from homes and businesses in southern Lebanon with the knowledge of their commanders, Haaretz reported on Thursday. As Israeli troops leave Lebanon, they openly load stolen goods onto their vehicles without attempting to conceal them. #israel #zionism #Lebanon #us #usa #uspol #eu #eupol #uk #ukpol #Iran

Good Morning(ish), all, With the deluge of Bad US News, I thought I'd post some Good News; I searched my playlist for the report on how the nerves of the clitoris have been mapped for the first time (30 years after mapping the penile nerves). But I couldn't find it... So here instead: some Good #EU News on unfreezing a €90B loan to Ukraine after the electoral defeat of Viktor Orbán (and thus Vlad Putin & Don Trumpeone). #EUpol #USpol #SlavaUkrayini #GOP #MAGA #Trump https://youtu.be/DtcJdHA8pMg?si=zE7lOJhqSDwRL51-

Palantir has issued a far-right, racist manifesto denouncing "dysfunctional" & "regressive" cultures & critticising "attempts to hound wealthy figures out of public life by scrutinising their behaviour." It also called for "the expansion of AI weaponry." Palantir shares fell immediately. Palantir "has accelerated Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza", & yet the British govt has granted it access to NHS England. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/palantir-shares-slide-after-manifesto-post-denouncing-regressive-cultures #UKPol #USPol #EUPol #Palantir #racism #fascism #News .

Purge Palantir is a "campaign to raise awareness of the need to get Palantir out of our government and our lives."

"It was always obvious what Starmer was, but our political journalists covered it up for factional reasons." "This scandal has arisen because, 6 yrs ago, one of the most odious factions in British politics took over the Labour Party under false pretenses." Matthew Doyle, "another man linked to a pedophile, with no diplomatic career history, promoted as a potential ambassador because he was in the faction which brought Starmer to power." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ej8kkbPGKK8 #UKPol #USPol #EUPol #news .

Report: "Iran rejects second round of talks over ‘Washington’s excessive demands'." "Iran has rejected participation in a second round of peace talks due to “Washington’s excessive demands, unrealistic expectations, constant shifts in stance, repeated contradictions, & the ongoing naval blockade, which it considers a breach of the ceasefire”. https://aje.news/w7b54q?update=4505711 #USPol #EUPol #IranWar #FakePeaceTalks #press #Ceasefire #USImperialism #Racism .

"Why the ceasefire in Lebanon won’t stop Israel’s expansionist ambitions" Israel’s push for buffer zones & 'natural borders' show ongoing ethnic cleansing in southern Lebanon. Israel is intoxicated with "a belief that the sacrifices & losses incurred in pursuing objectives through force are preferable to the uncertainty that comes as a result of treating other regional actors as equals." https://www.972mag.com/israel-lebanon-ceasefire/ #USPol #EUPol #Lebanon #IsraeliCrimes #palestine #GreaterIsrael .

A retrial of Palestine Action activists (acquitted of burglery charges in Feb) is on bogus "terrorism” charges. "This is what a stitch-up looks like," says UK MP Zarah Sultana. She "invoked parliamentary privilege to reveal [what] the British public was officially forbidden from knowing." The jury will not be told that "if convicted, they & 18 others will be sentenced as terrorists." See Hansard 14 Apr. Her info was from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkzxhQU6QIM #UKPol #USPol #EUPol #palestineAction #news .

French bill set to criminalise speech on Israel Describing certain acts as “resistance” or being "insufficiently condemnatory" could lead to five years in prison. "Courts could interpret attempts to explain root causes or political context as criminal acts." France’s former anti-terrorism judge Marc Trevidic: "Do you realise what that means? Becoming a censor of other people's thoughts, trying to guess what a person really meant." https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/french-lawmakers-set-push-bill-criminalising-speech-israel #EUPol #France #USPol #Palestine .

Report: The US can't reproduce its high-end weaponry quickly enough. Munitions used in just the first 4 days of the war on Iran used 92 tons of copper, 137kg neodymium, 18kg gallium, 37kg tantalum, 7kg dysprosium, & 600 tons ammonium perchlorate (only 1 domestic US source). China controls production of 98% of gallium, 90% neodymium, 99% dysprosium. The US is a currency issuer. It *cannot* run out of USD. No such luck with copper, etc. https://thecradle.co/articles/between-war-and-industrial-breakdown-the-us-israeli-attrition-crisis #USPol #EUPol #USImperialism .

Report: Palestine Action's retrial is rigged against them. 1st, the jury must not know the trial is for terrorism charges* & that long prison terms are possible. 2nd, UK media are banned from reporting the above. 3rd, the 6 must not explain their motives for damaging Israeli weapons factories. Arguably, Palestine Action is being targeted bcz of its effectiveness & in providing a model for activism. *cf criminal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkzxhQU6QIM #UKPol #EUPol #USPol #Israel #news #PalestineAction .

Interview: "Imposing a blockade to remove a blockade sounds very counterintuitive precisely because it is." "When the US does something, it's by definition legitimate. And when its adversaries do something, it's by definition illegitimate." "In addition to the question of hypocrisy... there's also the question of what this precisely is supposed to achieve." ~Mouin Rabbani https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ3gSY1yhm0 #USPol #EUPol #IranWar #Hormuz #Blockade #news .

@harrysintonen@infosec.exchange We have a national payment system in Sweden called Swish, but it requires the use of an operating system from Apple or Google, and it doesn't allow accessibility software to be present. So in either case, we are quite vulnerable. #svpol #eupol #Swish #BankID #a11y

Perhaps the alternatives are not a) Palantir or b) some home-grown less performant substitute. Perhaps the alternatives are a) Palantir or b) not imposing on one's citizens the sort of mass surveillance and breach of individual human rights that messianic tech bros like Palantir offer to vulnerable national governments... #JustSayin' #USpol #EUpol #UKpol #Palantir #Thiel #PeterThiel #LeagueOfOligarchs https://zendata.security/2026/02/14/switzerland-ends-palantir-contract-over-data-sovereignty-risks/

Report: 100s arrested defying Palestine Action ban in London. "The protesters - many grey-haired & frail - were seen being hauled away, while some were led leaning on crutches. A number of the demonstrators were dressed as Suffragettes". Former Palestine Action hunger strikers were also present. "Look how many police are here, just for elderly people holding placards. It's a joke. The state is a joke”, said Heba Muraisi. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/over-arrested-hundreds-gather-defy-palestine-action-ban-london #USPol #UKPol #EUPol #Palestine #news .
