Lula stated that the day represented a victory for democracy and described the end of the 6x1 scale as a civilizational achievement. He said that the measure met the will of people who took to the streets — among them women, men, workers, teenagers, and students — and that the change added a page to the Constitution, making it, in his assessment, more citizen-oriented. According to Lula, the two weekly days off meant more dignity. #Democracia #Cidadania #DireitosHumanos (translated)

Agustín Laje maintained that progressivism had weakened hierarchies, authority, and discipline, which, in his opinion, made social life possible. He stated that this influence on educational systems had equated students and teachers, taken disciplinary tools away from the latter, and made their authority suspect or illegitimate. Laje said that, as a result, teaching had become increasingly difficult, and some teachers had contributed to this situation by adhering to that pedagogy. He also claimed that there were increasingly ignorant students, whom he described with Sadin's expression "little tyrants," and powerless teachers who justified their inability through woke political correctness. Finally, he supported a measure by Keiko and pointed out that the solution began by restoring authority, discipline, and the tools to enforce them. #Progresismo #Educación #Autoridad (translated)

Nacho Montes de Oca claimed that Elon Musk had used Starlink for political purposes to pressure the Ukrainian government and that it was not the first time he, according to him, had aided Vladimir Putin or followed Donald Trump's orders at a critical moment. He stated that the decision could commercially harm SpaceX by exposing it to geopolitical risks similar to those that, in his opinion, contributed to the international ban on Huawei. Montes de Oca wrote that the intermittent use of critical technological infrastructure as a tool of political or military pressure could lead Western governments to accelerate the development of sovereign networks. He also pointed out that the interruption would have forced the cancellation or failure of several Ukrainian drone missions, reduced the commercial appeal of Starlink for defense customers, and put contracts with the Pentagon and the trust of European partners at risk. Among them, he mentioned Poland, which, he indicated, financed about 50 million dollars annually in terminals for Ukraine. The author estimated the global market for military communications and satellites in 2026 to be 22.03 billion dollars, if only encrypted tactical communication services were counted. He warned that defense buyers could consider their reliance on a private provider financially risky. In his background review, Montes de Oca stated that in September 2002 Ukraine requested to activate Starlink in the region of Sevastopol, in occupied Crimea, to guide maritime drones against the Russian Black Sea fleet, but Musk rejected the request. He added that on September 30 of that year, SpaceX interrupted the signal for several hours—and, in some areas, days—in the regions of Kherson and Donetsk during a Ukrainian counteroffensive, which, he wrote, left drones disconnected and temporarily halted military operations. Montes de Oca also said that the following month Musk threatened to stop providing the service because he could not finance it indefinitely and reversed the decision days later, before the Pentagon formally took over the contracts and Poland covered part of the costs. Additionally, he noted that in February 2023, SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell confirmed that the company had technically limited the use of Starlink in Ukrainian attack drones and asserted that those restrictions had been tightened. Finally, he stated that Airbus was leading the European response and that, with 5.3 billion euros from the European military space program, it was designing and building low-orbit platforms for national and sovereign satellite networks. #ElonMusk #Starlink #Ucrania (translated)

Nacho Montes de Oca stated that Elon Musk had limited the speed of Starlink terminals in motion without prior notice, which he wrote affected the military service StarShield and Ukrainian drone forces. He argued that the terminals lost connection when exceeding 160 km/h and that later reports indicated a threshold of 100 km/h. He also pointed out that sources from the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense had confirmed signal interruptions. Montes de Oca claimed that the measure could facilitate a Russian offensive and harm both Ukrainian attacks against Russian logistics and the logistical coordination and advance of Ukrainian units. He described it as help to Putin and stated that it came at the worst time for the performance of the Russian army. The author cited Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhii Beskrestnov, who confirmed that "several missions were interrupted" due to the lack of guarantees. He also noted that former Defense Ministry advisor Serhii Sternenko had suggested that the measure was in response to a request from the Donald Trump administration. Montes de Oca linked that possibility to pressures from Washington for Kiev to stop attacks on Russian refineries and to a message from Musk in which, according to the author, he said he would join the White House plan. #Starlink #Ucrania #Putin (translated)

Santi C. wrote that, in the Book of Judges, Gideon asked God how to choose his men for battle. According to his account, God instructed him to take his men to the river and observe how they drank: those who knelt and drank like dogs would not be the chosen ones. Gideon saw that a few drank without kneeling, with the spear in hand and their eyes on the horizon, and he understood that those were the men he needed. #Fe #Espiritualidad #Liderazgo (translated)

The last scout™ stated that the principle that nothing is free is particularly true in politics. If a politician promised to work without remuneration, according to him, it meant that the costs would be borne by people in other, less conspicuous ways. https://t.co/jmCQW0JMdp #politika #ekonomie #společnost (translated)

Allan Dos Santos stated that the press did not demand that Alexandre de Moraes remove the inquiries that, according to him, had been taken away from his reporting by the determination of the presidency of the STF. He claimed that it was unknown how many investigations were merely on paper and under the control of people trusted by the minister, and suggested that documents might be being destroyed.
