🇫🇷🔥🌳 FLASH | Le "méga-feu" de Saumos est enfin éteint, après 2 mois de dévastation. Il aura parcouru 42 000 hectares. https://t.co/gtbP0fCghi #Incendie #Saumos #Forêt

suppressing the link between the #RAF military base #Fairford and the #USAF base #Aviano (#Italy)- as the Italian mainstream do-is unacceptable because it does NOT allow Italian citizens to: 1) discover #Italy's role in the devastation of #IRAN 2) understand the risk that we face https://t.co/MrXbnhqbhR #RAF #Fairford #Italy #US #IT #IR

I am deeply concerned by the escalation of Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon. I condemn the mounting civilian casualties, the distress & displacement caused by the evacuation orders, and the scenes of massive destruction & devastation.

Our first working session on EU support for Ukraine has concluded. The scale of the devastation caused by Russia’s brutal and illegal war is impossible to ignore. More than 400 Ukrainian civilians were killed in July alone, with thousands more injured. #Ukraine #EUSupport #StopWar #UA #RU #EU

Je suis aussi venu vous parler d'un autre feu, qui avance à la même vitesse, avec la même logique de dévastation, et que nous regardons avec la même sidération impuissante, qui précède trop souvent le moment où il est déjà trop tard. Ce feu-là ne brûle pas les arbres. Il brûle https://t.co/g9BH2p9N9V #Environnement #UrgenceClimatique #Préservation #Therearenospecificcountrymentionsintheprovidedtweet.

When the Fog Begins to Lift If you feel as though the world is going crazy, you’re not imagining things. Over the past decade, a media-driven “woke” movement gripped Western societies, creating what Michael Shellenberger calls “mass psychosis.” He argues that Democrats and media figures labeled opponents of DEI, racial quotas, and open borders as far-right—not because those people had changed, but because the political left had moved dramatically further left on cultural issues. Evidence continues to support this view. U.S. General Social Survey data suggests that center- and right-leaning opinions have remained relatively stable since the early 2000s, while left-wing views have shifted substantially. Meanwhile, publications such as *The New York Times* and *The Washington Post* sharply increased their use of terms like “racist” and “white privilege” after 2012. Shellenberger writes: “The media did this. The mass brainwashing came from college-educated elites in control of the most powerful propaganda machine in world history. These elites convinced the public that the West had grown more racist than ever, a blatant contradiction of the evidence. While the public was distracted by manufactured culture wars, governments exploited the chaos to consolidate power. Authoritarianism, spiraling debt, and economic devastation were the crippling costs of this deception.” He describes the political consequences just as bluntly: “By the time we got to 2016, Democrats had become completely unhinged. They made everything political, hunted heretics, and weaponized the government—three core characteristics of totalitarianism.” The fallout has been severe. Institutions lie in ruins, public trust has collapsed, and communities remain deeply divided. This was not simply a political miscalculation. It was ideological warfare, designed to divide and control. As the fog begins to lift, one question remains: Have we learned enough to resist the next wave of fearmongering and manipulation—or will we once again accept the same tactics from new faces?

I think that the right to die, on our own terms, is one of the most important ones. But having a family places responsibility on us. A great grandfather of mine could not take it anymore, and the devastation it inflicted on his children can still be felt generations later. #RightToDie #FamilyResponsibility #MentalHealth #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.

En Gironde, face à la dévastation causée par les incendies, l'association Canopée critique la reconstruction des forêts, qui privilégie la replantation de pin maritime au détriment de feuillus moins inflammables, soulignant la nécessité de créer des pare-feu et d'impliquer davantage les sylviculteurs dans la gestion forestière. #IncendieEnGironde #ReconstructionForêt #Environnement

The scenes of devastation in Venezuela are truly heartbreaking. I extend my full solidarity with all those affected & with the Venezuelan people. As needs rapidly evolve, access to urgent humanitarian assistance will be critical. The @UN system is scaling up life-saving #Venezuela #HumanitarianAid #Solidarity #VE
