Apparently Russian servers have been hit by a Ukrainian strike and immediately massive online hard right chatter has collapsed.
This particular chatter was in support of Germany’s AFD, their equivalent to Reform, but similar patterns are being seen in hard right movements everywhere, including the UK.
If anyone needed anymore evidence that Russia are driving a massive wave of hard right propaganda in Europe, this is it.
So, all you “patriots” - you’ve been duped by Russia, and you are about as far from patriotic as anyone can be. You are easily brainwashed though. This is how propaganda works.

I am heartbroken by the news that more than hundred migrants drowned off the coast of Djibouti, with many still missing.
This is unacceptable.
Every person searching for a better life deserves safety & dignity. We must ensure safe & legal pathways to prevent further loss of life.

Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms.
Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.
Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

The UN Human Rights Council depends on civil society to function, Inés Pousadela & Samuel King of @CIVICUSalliance argue. With structural reform out of reach, states must improve access and protect activists from reprisals.

New epiosde!
Trump’s party is failing to confront AI’s dangers. @RepTedLieu is pushing for action.
We go deep on his AI “kill switch” bill, why the midterms matter, and the laws we urgently need.

🎥 Independent media is the connective tissue that links electoral, institutional, and popular forms of resistance. It is an early target for authoritarians. 🎤
Here's how to protect independent media, according to Maya Tudor:

Autocrats look invincible until their allies start to walk away. Defections have brought down regimes from Guatemala to Hungary, and they can be engineered: Raise the costs of standing with the autocrat and ease the path out.

Everyone from AI whistleblowers to the titans of the AI platforms warn about the catastrophic risk to humanity of supeintelligent models that are rapidly evolving.

The images from Ratko Mladić’s funeral yesterday in Belgrade were shocking.
Ratko Mladić was a convicted war criminal. He was responsible for genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. He died while serving a life sentence for the Srebrenica genocide and other crimes.
The elements of official support and the presence of some senior Serbian officials at the funeral are deeply regrettable. They demonstrate a failure to confront a dark chapter in Europe’s recent history and contradict the values underpinning Serbia’s path towards the European Union.
Our thoughts are with all the victims of the crimes committed in the countries of former Yugoslavia.
