Trump official who shut down counter-Russia agency has links to Kremlin

Until now. For instance, the cancer scientist Kseniia Petrova, a Russian immigrant who worked at Harvard’s renowned Kirschner Lab, has been in a Louisiana ICE prison for two months now, and is facing deportation to Russia because she allegedly lied to a border control officer about carrying frog embryos for research purposes. Not only is this likely false—she told NBC News that she did tell the officers the truth—but the usual penalty for such a piddling violation is a $500 fine, knocked down to $50 for a first offense. Instead, ICE revoked her J-1 visa and threw her in prison pending a hearing to deport her back to Russia, where she might easily end up in prison or dead for criticizing the Putin regime. Petrova is not just any cancer scientist—she is perhaps the world’s top expert on analyzing the images produced by a new cutting-edge, ultra-specialized microscope that is being developed to diagnose cancer cases. Leon Peshkin, Petrova’s manager, told NBC that the task “requires a unique set of skills because you have to both be able to work as an embryologist and do applied math, modeling, data analysis and bioinformatics—all in one package.” Nobody else in the lab could do what she does, he added.
one of the world's top cancer scientists, who works for Harvard, is at risk of deportation to Russia where she might be killed for criticizing Putin, because she allegedly failed to disclose carrying frog embryos at the border. it's upending American medical research: prospect.org/health/2025-...

Remember this?! 👇
On tyypillistä Venäjän sanakikkailua että he nyt väittävät haluavansa "turvatakuita". Kukaan ei ole uhannut hyökkäyssodalla Venäjälle. Sen sijaan Venäjän "turvatakuut" ovat uhkavaade päättää naapurimaiden asioista, rajoittaa niiden vapautta.
Samaa imperialismia yhä. Ei Putin rauhaa hae vaan valtaa.

This shows the absurd nature of the current version of the market system. It should be impossible for anyone to have so much wealth that they can lose this much - and basically still laugh about it to our faces.
Minusta tämä on täysin totta, enkä ymmärrä, miksi monet eivät halua myöntää asiaa. Onko vielä ihmisiä, jotka uskovat, että tyhmyys on jotenkin haitaksi politiikassa? No, ei ole.

Elon Musk exemplifies that success in the private sector can come from a very narrow set of skills. One doesn't need to be exceptionally intelligent or well-rounded, as he clearly isn't. He struggles to distinguish between facts and cheap lies
Another major concern for Europe, and especially in helping Ukraine, is to create a European replacement for the Patriot system that is independent of the U.S.
Ukrainians have learned to adjust to a reality where we have to build our everyday life around the aftermath of Russian attacks.
The warhead of the Russian drone that attacked the children's clinic contained high-explosive elements (metal balls) - see image.
So many calls to remove Zelensky from power, yet not a single demand to replace Putin.
What I cannot understand is how any US politician can stand up and defend Putin.
Now Trump, Vance, Musk & Gabbard do so.
How can they still be US politicians?
And why has NOBODY mentioned the Budapest Memorandum of 1994? In that agreement Ukraine surrendered its nuclear weapons with the guarantee that the USA would defend them against aggression. Russia also agreed not to attack them but everyone knows THEY can’t be trusted
HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT?
Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.
It’s early in Europe but I’d already say @helenebismarck.bsky.social wins the internet today.
Per @jayinkyiv.bsky.social:
“UK's most read newspaper joins in, Trump can never meet the King after all this. Only place for Trump is up Putin's ass.”
“The president of the United States ambushed a loyal ally, presumably so that he can soon make a deal with the dictator of Russia to sell out a European nation fighting for its very existence.”

The result? A fragmented public consciousness where competing realities coexist, each self-reinforcing and resistant to correction. When truth is no longer a shared foundation, power shifts to those who control the most compelling narrative - no matter how detached from reality it is.
Zelenskyy *cannot* agree to the lies from Vance.
He CANNOT say that his soldiers are "fleeing the battlefield".
He cannot simply become a propagandist for Putin.
This trap was always going to happen. The U.S. is aligned with russia (no lies can hide this fact now)
”We’re witnessing the self-sabotage of the United States. “America First” always meantAmerica alone, a predatory America whose role in the world is no longer based on democratic belief.”
Ajatella, että tätä Trumpin aikaa on kulunut vasta vajaa 2 kuukautta.

I do hope that nobody in Europe will talk to the racist extremist JD Vance after his disgraceful shows in Munich and today with Zelensky.
Europe does not need Nazist connections.

FBI, together with international partners, disrupted Kremlin's AI bot farm spreading anti-Ukraine sentiments.
Reminder to everyone: there is no need to debate with the crypto/"US patriot" accounts on X, unless you're interested in arguing with AI.
Fortunately, they're not yet here.
OTD in 1939 USSR staged the Mainila incident. A false flag to justify invasion, we claimed Finland attacked us just as hundreds of thousands of our soldiers were accidentally massed in attack formation right on their former border.
Imagine such bullshit being tolerated today....
