The situation in the capital, especially regarding preparations for winter and the protection of critical infrastructure, shows every resident of Kyiv that the city is actually not prepared. Now, in October, the situation is unfortunately even worse than in the previous winters of this war. Individual "Shahed" drone strikes are already causing disruptions to electricity and water supply. Unfortunately, there are also many other issues. When it comes to shelters, preparations for school operations, construction of protective structures, transportation provision, and the preparation of residential buildings for winter in Kyiv, the city is lagging behind other regions in implementing the resilience plan. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Thursday that Poland will assist with a support package - the details of which are not disclosed. #Ukraina #Krievija #elektrība (translated)

Lars Andersen wrote that the Somali refugee Sagal Abdi-Wali had been sworn in at the British Parliament with her hand on the Quran. He described the Quran as a political manifesto, which in his opinion was entirely incompatible with Western society, and claimed that Abdi-Wali now had official political power over it. Andersen called it insane that the West was considering allowing what he described as a takeover and infiltration. #politik #integration #flygtninge (translated)

Marats Kasems wrote that Beness Aijo had participated in a communist protest in front of the Russian presidential administration building a few days ago, where objections were raised against this year's State Duma election violations. Kasems claimed that Aijo had spoken about the difficulties faced by observers in entering polling stations and accused the Russian authorities and the head of the Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova, of stealing elections in Moscow. According to Kasems, Aijo had called the Russian government de jure illegitimate, criticized it for dismantling the socialist state, and claimed that the elections were stolen from the communists. Kasems also wrote that FSB officers had attempted to issue Aijo a decision to initiate administrative proceedings regarding discrediting the army, but Aijo refused to accept it. He reportedly explained that he had once defended the so-called "DTR" and therefore could not discredit the army. Kasems pointed out that he had previously warned Aijo about possible problems with Russian security services. He expressed satisfaction that Aijo's actions were now causing headaches for the Kremlin, rather than Latvia. In conclusion, Kasems asked whether a criminal case would be initiated against Aijo or if he might die from falling out of an eighth-floor window. #benessAijo #komunisti #kremlis #orki #fsb #benessAijo #komunisti #kremlis (translated)

The current multiannual budget proposal is not good enough from the Netherlands' perspective. We want to prioritize what lies ahead – our competitiveness, our security, and the prosperity of the future. If we want a budget that meets these goals, then we need to reduce and modernize the current proposal," added Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten. #ESBudžets #Lauksaimniecība #Kohēzija (translated)

Artis Šlosbergs ironically pointed out that during the Ragozina saga, it was precisely the X "bubble" that exposed him, while journalists, whom he described as arrogant, had unjustifiably praised Ragozina. He added that X users had persistently maintained the demand for Ragozina's expulsion and ultimately achieved it. #Ragozins #žurnālistika #pateicība (translated)

Samppa Granlund said he occasionally received one-star reviews on Google from people who, in his opinion, had not visited his business. He mentioned checking the other reviews from one reviewer and noticed that they had given one star to restaurants for serving meat, to Saga Furs for animal-related reasons, and to another company for climate-related issues. Granlund wondered how many activists were going around on Google leaving reviews to express their dissatisfaction. Granlund compared the phenomenon to the cancel culture discussions surrounding Metallica. According to him, the band faced a backlash when it did not take a stance on the Free Palestine issue. He assessed that remaining silent on politics was no longer enough; individuals also had to support the position deemed right to avoid being put on a boycott list. #Metallica #arvostelut #aktivismi (translated)
