A lot can happen in 57 years.In 1969 the corrupt President Nixon was president, the U.S. could not afford universal healthcare but did find the money to go to the moon while waging a war in Vietnam.In 2026 the corrupt President Trump is president, the U.S. still cannot afford universal healthcare but does find the money to go to the moon while waging a war in Iran.

Muslim faith leader Salah Sarsour of Wisconsin is the latest to be abducted by Trump's personal paramilitary group ICE.According to CNN he committed the "crime" of criticizing Israel.The Mayor of the city of Milwaukee, Cavalier Johnson calls the detention an outrage, criticizing the lack of substantive evidence of a crime."At first they came for the Muslims. But I was not Muslim."

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez wins the internet this week with this striking characterisation of the wannabe dictator:"The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire, just because they show up with a bucket of water."(Thanks to @Paul_stilgar for this find.)

I remember being really shocked finding out Trump won in 2024. Because I new that was a decisive dark moment in history.On Sunday, there is a new decisive moment, when the Hungarians decide if Viktor Orbán's corrupt regime continues, or Péter Magyar takes over.Let this time be different. The Hungarians need a brighter future.The world needs a brighter future.

Why is Melania Trump suddenly talking about Epstein?It could be because Brazilian model Amanda Ungaro is about to expose her.Amanda Ungaro divorced her husband Paolo Zampolli, who is a close friend of Trump's. And according to her, Zampolli used his place in Trump's government to get ICE to detain her. But now she is out, and yesterday she posted this to Melania:"I will tear down your corrupt system, even if it's the last thing | do in my life. I will go all the way—I am not afraid."

The central bank of Denmark, Nationalbanken, today announced its new offline payment system which means Danes will be able to pay digitally at the store — even when the internet is down.This means both credit card payments and cellphone payments go through at the counter up to 7 days into an internet breakdown, because of a new technological solution which is being rolled out at grocery stores first.Pharmacies will be added to the system later this year.https://via.ritzau.dk/pressemeddelelse/14873884?lang=da&amp%3BpublisherId=13561853

This is the key difference:In 2024, only 63 percent of US voters voted, and Trump became president.Sunday, 80 percent of Hungarian voters turned out to vote, and Orbán was removed.Be like the Hungarians.

Why is Mastodon the best social medium in 2026?Picture 1: If I share a post with some objectively good news, it gets 97 boosts and 140 likes.Picture 2: If I share the same post on Threads, it gets zero interactions — zero! — because it contains a link to the competing social medium YouTube, and on Threads, Mark Zuckerberg has decided that the algorithm should not promote such content.Threads is where the rich decide what we can talk about.On Mastodon, we decide.

In an attempt to justify their killing of a Lebanese journalist, the Israeli military shares a photo of the journalist in a Hezbollah military uniform, arguing that that he was a terrorist.However, it now turns out, this “photo” was AI generated by the Israeli military, because they have no real evidence of a connection between the journalist and Hezbollah.France 24 has the story.https://youtu.be/orhh2JpDe8I?si=6baaDa9IvxHrO4Eh

Trump started the US gerrymandering circus, and so Democrats simply said, "two can play that game".Last night, Democrats won a people's vote to redistrict Virginia, and Trump is — as expected — losing it on Truth Social, and — without a shred of evidence — claiming that the election must have been rigged, because he lost.The blue wave is here.

There is a war in Iran, 15 Americans have been killed, 538 have been wounded, and $25,000,000,000 have been spent so far.After firing dozens of generals and skilled personnel, Pete Hegseth has now brought in Kid Rock to address The Pentagon.The world is hurting from an unprecedented oil crisis to the tune of Kid Rock singing “All summer long”. Because your education does not matter, your reputation does not matter — in fascism, all that matters is loyalty to the leader.

Today I discovered that the social medium Nostr is mirroring my Mastodon profile via a mirroring server called mostr.pub.I looked up a few other Mastodon profiles. They are mirrored too.I never chose to be on Nostr, but my complete Mastodon profile and a number of posts are there.I wonder what the legality of that is.

"You must be out of your minds!"My hero this week is Jürgen Hardt from the German party CDU who tells the Putin sympathizers of the German far right party AfD what they are made of, after their leader claimed that Ukraine should not attack Moscow with drones.This video was recorded in the German Parliament. Subtitles have been added by Anton Gerashchenko.

#offtopicGoogle has fallen ill.I am trying to order a phone accessory from Sweden, but when I search for this product, instead of normal search results, Google serves page after page of links to the same website, kamda.se.I have a feeling Kamda must have A LOT of traffic this week. Has anyone else seen this weird Google behaviour?

Canada dumps Trump. Instead of buying the Boeing E-7, Canada has chosen the Swedish Saab Global Eye, which is the monitoring and control aircraft currently used by Ukraine.Right in this moment, Trump cost Boeing more than 4 billion dollars.Are you "tired of winning they" MAGA?

After 69 days, Denmark finally has a new government: The Social Democrats, The Green Left (SF), The Social Liberal Party (Radikale), and The Moderates.The political platform will be presented Tuesday, and the ministers will be presented Wednesday. In all likelihood, Mette Frederiksen continues as Prime Minister, but all other positions are harder to predict because of the new coalition.To inform King Frederik 10 of the successful result, Frederiksen visited the royal yacht in Odense tonight.

"The President and Vice President must be impeached, convicted, and removed."On July 1, active duty air force Major Jason Watson held a powerful speech in Washington D.C. calling for the removal of Trump and JD Vance.He then walked up the stairs and held a protest sign before being arrested by capitol police.Full speech:https://youtu.be/k2-AyA3SLEs?si=4UsTpY1J9IFFgBDM

The Olympic Committee wants Russian athletes in the 2028 games, so we can watch Russian soldiers killing children in Ukraine on one screen while watching The Olympics handing out medals to Russians on the other.Enough! Tell them the democratic countries are not coming. Then pull all EU funding.https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/jul/07/ioc-lifts-suspension-russia-compete-la-2028-olympics
