Russia is intensifying its attacks on Kharkiv Oblast, targeting populated areas with a range of weapons. Today, missile and air strikes killed three civilians in Kupiansk and Chuhuiv, and injured at least two more. The tactic is clear: to make the region uninhabitable.

60 minutes was insane.

Trump is forcing all the major law firms in the country to bend the knee, using his office to intimidate – creating a protection racket like the mob

"Trump's attacks on the law firms has been described by a federal judge as 'a personal vendetta'. None of his targets is charged with any crime.”

Trump is speed running to dictatorship faster than even Vladimir Putin

On this May Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.

The EU is introducing an energy label for phones, together with mandatory requirements for phones sold in the EU;

- 5 years of software updates (AFTER they stop selling the device in the EU)

- providing important hardware parts (during sale and for 7 years after), including free software (if needed), to every repair shop, within 5-10 business days

- batteries have to make 800 charging cycles and still be above 80% original capacity

And on top of that, phones and tablets need this energy label (which also includes a fall damage durability and repairability score), and abide by the above requirements, from 20 June 2025.

(energy-efficient-products.ec.e)

An EU energy label, showing the trademark A to G energy score, but underneath that, shows a bunch of other scores and figures, such as battery charge in hours and minutes, fall damage reliability, repairability, battery endurance in cycles, and dust plus water resistance (with the IP marking)

Senator Adam Schiff has announced that, due to the chaos surrounding tariff policy, he will investigate whether anyone engaged in insider trading. Trump may be immune from prosecution, but those around him are not. — It’s time to decimate this MAGA circle.
