If Nawrocki hadn't behaved like a spoiled brat who takes his toys and goes home when he doesn't like something, but had signed this law right away, we would have had it over two months ago. But no. It had to be sent back to the Constitutional Tribunal, which today is more of a circus than a Tribunal, to put on a show, to demonstrate how tough and unyielding he is, and then to sign the solution anyway. And now Nawrocki comes out and tells Poles about fuel priced at 5.19 zł. No way. Because the money that people spent on more expensive refueling over these weeks has already been spent. No one is giving it back. It won’t return to the household budget just because the president's political calculation changed after two months. And that's why this whole story about Poland and Poles is so hollow. Real people's money is at stake here. Their savings. Their sense of security. And then he looks at the polls, and indeed, he can sign it. Mocking people. (translated)

"I have always regarded NATO, where we spend hundreds of billions of dollars annually to protect its member countries, as a one-way street. We will protect them, but they will not help us in times of need," President Donald Trump has constantly criticized the North Atlantic Alliance with his top advisors since he returned to the White House.

Yesterday in the White House, today in the State Department. With the same message: we are waiting for good decisions regarding the additional 5,000 soldiers from the USA and increasing their permanent presence in Poland. These are the most important issues in relations between Poland and the USA, as we see how Russia escalates its attacks on Europe. (translated)

How to build a career in your parents' company? 1. Don't take the vice president position right away. You need to learn the company from the ground up. Starting as a senior manager would be reasonable. Let everyone see that you're climbing step by step. 2. Don't say you got the job through connections. Say that the owners recognized your potential. Your father has been watching your development for 23 years. No recruiter has spent as much time with the other candidates. 3. Earn the respect of older employees. Don't worry that some of them have been with the company longer than you've been alive. They have experience. You have a fresh perspective. And the owner's phone number saved as "Dad." 4. Don't misuse your position. Treat your father at work like any other boss. If you disagree on something, discuss it professionally. Preferably on a Sunday over chicken soup. 5. Start making changes. After three weeks in the company, you should already notice things that people who have worked there for twenty years don't see. It's natural. They are tainted by experience. 6. Show that you also started from the bottom. From time to time, go down to regular employees and help them for half an hour. It's best to take a picture. In a few years, you will be able to say that you have gone through every level in the company. 7. Don't demand a promotion. Let it come naturally. Manager. Director. Board member. President. Don't rush. You have a full two years for that. 8. Separate your professional life from your personal life. At work, your father is your boss. At home, he is your father. Therefore, leave the conversation about bonuses for the holidays. Grandma can be a good mediator. 9. Ensure financial independence from your parents. Don't take money from them privately. You're not a child anymore. Let the company pay for the car, phone, and fuel card. That's a completely different relationship. 10. After years, tell your story on LinkedIn. Write that you started from zero. That you didn't get anything for free. That the most important things were hard work, humility, and consistency. Don't mention the company from your father. They asked about the road to success. #FIRE (translated)

Today marks a year since the introduction of the deposit system, which has made Poles into litterers. Here’s the balance of this absurdity: 1️⃣ Bags of bottles instead of convenient sorting. You store uncrushed packaging at home, drag it to the store, and stand in front of the machine. And when the device is full (translated)

2 meters tall, athletic build and only 20 years of life. German sadists needed just one night to turn the young hero into a gray, mutilated wreck of a man. They called him "Kruszynka," but he was a giant of courage and determination. He harmed the Germans as best he could, and they were so afraid of him that they eliminated him in Auschwitz. He burned German flags. He unscrewed railway tracks. He attacked German trains. He set fire to transports to the Eastern front. He destroyed the German "V" sign. He participated in numerous operations. At home, he organized a stockpile of weapons, ammunition, a radio listening post, and a cache of underground press. At the age of 17, he fought for freedom in 1939 and was seriously wounded. He was active in scouting. Soldier of ZWZ-AK. Commander of a diversion and sabotage patrol. He brought his family into the underground. For his bravery in battle, he was awarded the Cross of Valor. Arrested as a result of a denunciation. Horribly tortured by German beasts. He did not betray anyone. He took all the blame upon himself. With his testimony, he saved the lives of the women arrested with him. He ended up at Pawiak and Auschwitz. Murdered on December 9, 1942. On October 1, 1942, he was ARRESTED BY GERMAN CRIMINALS PCHOR. TADEUSZ KIFER "KRUSZYNKA." Eternal honor and glory to him! (translated)

The most beautiful view is of course that of the Presidential Palace in Warsaw, but this one isn't bad either. 😉 🇵🇱🇺🇸 I am starting my visit to Washington. G20 Sherpas meeting, talks at the White House and the State Department. Security, military and investment cooperation, Poland. (translated)

If you want to have knowledge of what a deceptive world we lived in, read this. If you want to be aware of what awaits us, read this. This may be my most important text. Once, "trolls" were farm workers who wrote what they were dictated. Now troll farms are collapsing because bots are replacing humans. Today, one moderately skilled programmer could control 100,000 bots. Hence the conflicts; troll farms are no longer needed, so why pay them? I saw a troll farm from the outside. I didn't enter their structures, I didn't create a fake account with a flag in the description, and I didn't write under the teachers' strike that children are hostages. I watched from a distance, at the network, at the comments that appeared quickly, too quickly, too consistently, too often on the same issues. And at the company that functioned for years like an ordinary e-PR agency. In 2019, an investigation by Newsweek and the Reporters' Foundation showed that the Wrocław Cat@Net was not just another agency for "creating a presence on social media." It was an organized troll farm. A dozen people managed over 170 fake profiles on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. The content reached millions of recipients. The business was co-financed from PFRON, as the company employed disabled individuals and could offer clients tax deductions. From November 2015 to August 2019, Cat@Net received around 1.5 million zlotys from the State Fund for Rehabilitation of Disabled Persons. From the outside, it looked innocent. An advertisement for teleworking, a student or graduate needed after journalism, working from home, "skillful influencing of recipients." Clients included large companies, small businesses, public administration, private individuals. In practice, accounts were built like characters from a series. A right-wing patriot from Żoliborz, a traditionalist, a student, a chatterbox. A photo from university, a post about lunch, and then, when a scandal erupted, a flood of comments. Teachers' strike - children as hostages, teachers are egoists in expensive scarves. TVP and Jacek Kurski - defense, image warming, attacks on critics. After the death of Paweł Adamowicz, blaming WOŚP and Owsiak, comparisons meant to shift responsibility from public television. What struck the most was not ideology, but flexibility. The farm had business accounts to slander companies, products, and brands, as well as political ones. It worked for TVP, but also for PiS politicians when they needed support before the European Parliament elections. Trolls from the same agency could publicly argue, but only according to a script. It wasn't about beliefs. It was about commission. The trails led journalists further, to the Art-Media agency, to circles associated with "Najwyższy Czas" and "Gazeta Polska," to names in the orbit of Antoni Macierewicz and Bartłomiej Misiewicz. I saw how easily a real person disappears behind an avatar, and the avatar begins to shape a debate that no one explicitly ordered, only paid for the chaos or falsehood of specific events. The troll farm didn't need us to believe in it. It was enough that we click, comment, and recognize as important and significant the voice produced on commission. PiS didn't have to paint the sign "PiS troll farm" on the office door to benefit from it. In practice, within the power camp, there was a mechanism that Newsweek's investigation exposed bluntly. It was fake accounts that coordinated hatred, defended TVP and Jacek Kurski, and attacked Owsiak, WOŚP, and Paweł Adamowicz, along with public money from PFRON that helped sustain this industry. It was a political infrastructure of lies, distorting the image of Poland as "Poland in ruins," pumping propaganda and sowing hate speech under the guise of "ordinary citizens." As long as a troll was right according to the line of power, no one in this environment asked whether the account was real. They only asked whether the post hit the opponent. #InstituteOfTruth (translated)

For me, as a Palestinian from Gaza who has survived the ongoing genocide, the ruins of houses on Google Maps are not just remnants of buildings that look like a crumbling wall from a distance. I see the remains of people whose bodies were crushed under walls and ceilings that they painted with their own hands. I see (translated)

Considering the circumstance that the Russian citizen L. Ragozin has publicly expressed views that are in direct contradiction to the interests of the state of Latvia over an extended period, I therefore call on the Foreign Minister to include the aforementioned person in the list of persons undesirable to the Republic of Latvia (persona non grata). In his public activities, L. Ragozin has: blamed the West for Russia's aggressive actions; spoken about the ineffectiveness of sanctions, calling them ones that provoke Russia; attempted to justify Russia's aggressive foreign policy, questioning whether Russia could have imperialist interests in gaining influence in Ukraine and elsewhere; discredited Ukraine, its political leadership, and armed forces. His expressed views have often overlapped with messages aimed at reducing Western support for Ukraine; in his public activities, he has criticized the West and Ukraine. As a result, his actions can be evaluated as those aimed at steering Western public opinion in a direction favorable to Russia. Due to such activities, it would be justified to consider L. Ragozin politically undesirable in Europe (persona non grata), but these activities cannot be regarded as such that would allow for the capture of circumstances mentioned in the Immigration Law that grant the Minister of Interior the authority to include a person in the list of foreigners banned from entering the Republic of Latvia; therefore, I call on the Foreign Minister to make a decision regarding the inclusion of the aforementioned person in the persona non grata list.
