RDT Lady Gaga Just Now

RDT Lady Gaga stated that she participated in the March for Democracy in São Paulo, alongside fans of artists from all over Brazil, including Little Monsters, BeyHive, Swifties, ARMYs, Anitters, and KatyCats. According to the page, the groups organized to call fans to action, encourage people who did not vote in the first round to participate, and promote conversations about proposals, public policies, and social rights. The page said that President Lula thanked the fandoms for their mobilization and support during a speech on Avenida Paulista. It also reported having participated in a conversation and recording with Vice President Geraldo Alckmin at DiaTV, through Mídia NINJA, with representation from producer Guifa. RDT stated that its political stance was that of the team managing the page for over 15 years, and not of Lady Gaga. It said it respects differing opinions among Little Monsters and does not delete respectful comments. The page added that it could not speak for the singer nor say who she would vote for in a Brazilian election, but it associated her trajectory with the defense of the LGBTQIA+ community, women, equality, freedom, combating prejudice, and political participation. #Democracia #FandomsUnidos #VotoConsciente (translated)

Richenel, volledige naam Hubertus Richenel Baars (Amsterdam, 20 april 1957 – Amsterdam, 13 maart 2020), was een Nederlands zanger die vooral in de jaren tachtig bekend was. Zijn carrière begon toen hij door een vriend met een eigen band werd gevraagd om als zanger in te vallen, hiervoor werkte hij bij een bank. Als lid van de discoformatie Luxor was hij daarnaast lokaal bekend als zanger en danser, vaak in "extravagante gewaden van eigen ontwerp". Dankzij zijn androgyne uiterlijk was hij een opvallende verschijning. De eerste single Statue of Desire werd niet erg populair. Zijn tweede single, L'Esclave endormi, was echter vooral in Engeland een grote hit. https://hvdommelen.nl/r/Richenel.html

ProFin wrote that Russia had attacked a Ukrainian power plant and that Trump had decided to terminate the mechanism by which Europe bought weapons from the United States for Ukraine if Ukraine did not adhere to the ceasefire.

Henri Vanhanen criticized Donald Trump's actions in the Ukraine war, noting that he declared agreements about which there was uncertainty, while pressuring Ukraine in a way that benefited Vladimir Putin. As a recent example, Vanhanen pointed to Trump’s announced energy ceasefire. According to him, Volodymyr Zelensky heard about it practically for the first time from the media, Russia had not confirmed the agreement, and continued, according to Zelensky, attacks on Ukraine's power plants. Vanhanen asked what kind of ceasefire it was if the other party did not know what had been agreed upon. He suggested that Zelensky had to be cautious of Trump’s criticism to avoid being blamed for obstructing peace. Vanhanen referred to the Financial Times reporting that the United States threatened to cut off arms and intelligence supplies to Ukraine unless the country stopped attacks on Russian energy infrastructure. He also wrote that Trump agreed to buy Russian diesel, demanded Ukraine to cease attacks on Russian oil refineries, and encouraged a change of leadership in Ukraine. Vanhanen estimated that the war in Iran and the resulting fuel prices, the upcoming midterm elections, and the need to show results might explain Trump’s urgency to secure an agreement. According to him, Trump aimed for cheaper diesel and a visible peace political achievement, while Putin would benefit from a decrease in attacks on Russia’s energy sector. Vanhanen noted that the alignment of these goals seemed to occur at Ukraine’s expense. Vanhanen stated that he did not oppose a ceasefire if it protected Ukrainians and also bound Russia. However, he observed that for Trump, merely declaring an agreement seemed to suffice, even without information about its terms or Russia's commitment. Vanhanen assessed that Russia would benefit from a situation in which the United States sought a quick agreement and Ukraine was cautious not to offend Trump. In such conditions, he believed Putin could gain concessions from Trump without Russia needing to win against Ukraine at the negotiating table. #Ukraina #Trump #Venäjä (translated)

"The Russians are attacking intensively, but they are not making significant progress," said Herem. "Often soldiers, especially Russian soldiers, take pictures of themselves that are sent to Moscow to create the impression that something has been captured," Herem said.
