Politico defending LITERAL WWII Nazis.

Politico seriously suggests there is "nuance" around Yaroslav Hunka's joining of the Nazi 14th Waffen SS Grenadier Division (1st Galicia) to fight the Soviet Union and, like Canadian commentators over the last few days, suggests no war crimes were committed by this Division.

That's COMPLETE AND UTTER LUNACY.

The Nazi Germany 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS was NOTORIOUS for SLAUGHTERING their way through Ukraine, enthusiastically participating in the genocide of Poles, Roma, Jews, and Socialists/Communists

These people are manipulating history and your ignorance of it to make Nazis go from black and white obvious evil, to shades of grey in which you're not "expert" enough to have an opinion on, thereby weakening efforts to expose fascist ideology being integrated into Western society.

Ok but like I feel like people, especially living in the West kinda don't understand how difficult the situation in Ukraine is, especially given how little information we have about the real victims rate.

It is possible, close to certain say some, that in 2025 Russian and Belarusian military will try to attack other countries and many people here totally are making plans where to hide and preparing for the worst.

The West won't be affected as in bombed or having Russians roaming through their citizen's houses, commiting atrocities so it's easy to forget and ignore but it's a huge mistake to do that.

Supporting Ukraine is vital for the whole Europe and United States and I want you all to remember that, pushing your politicians to take any possible action.

Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer met with opposition leader Yair Lapid on Wednesday, where he told him that chants supporting Hamas, including calls like “from the river to the sea,” will become a criminal offense in Austria.

The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas ruled yesterday that portions of Texas Senate Bill 1, adopted in September 2021, violate the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The court found that parts of S.B. 1 require officials to reject mail-in ballot applications and mail-in ballots based on errors or omissions that are not material in determining whether voters are qualified under Texas law to vote or cast a mail ballot.

“The District Court’s decision affirms what the Justice Department has argued for nearly two years: these provisions of Texas Senate Bill 1 unlawfully restrict the ability of eligible Texas voters to vote by mail and to have that vote counted,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “The Justice Department will continue to defend against unlawful efforts that undermine the right to vote and restrict participation in our democracy.”

“In requiring rejection of mail ballots and mail ballot applications from eligible voters based on minor paperwork errors or omissions, Texas Senate Bill 1 violates the Civil Rights Act,” said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “This ruling sends a clear message that states may not impose unlawful and unnecessary requirements that disenfranchise eligible voters seeking to participate in our democracy. The Justice Department will continue to use every available tool to protect all Americans’ right to vote and to ensure that their voices are heard.”

“The right to vote is one of the fundamental rights in our democracy,” said U.S. Attorney Jaime Esparza for the Western District of Texas. “This important ruling protects the rights of eligible Texas voters to cast a vote and have it counted consistent with federal law.”

The court issued a preliminary ruling yesterday in favor of the United States’ motion for summary judgment, which asserts that two provisions of S.B. 1 violate Section 101 of the Civil Rights Act by requiring rejection of mail ballots and mail ballot request forms because of paperwork errors that are not material to establishing a voter’s eligibility to cast a ballot. The first provision requires that early voting clerks “shall reject” mail ballot applications that do not include a Texas driver’s license or ID number that identifies “the same voter identified on the applicant’s application for voter registration.” The second provision provides that a mail ballot “may be accepted only if” the ID numbers on the carrier envelope or signature sheet identifies “the same voter identified on the applicant’s application for voter registration.”

Section 5.07 requires that early voting clerks “shall reject” mail ballot applications that do not include a Department of Public Safety (DPS) number or the last four digits of a Social Security Number (SSN) that identifies “the same voter identified on the applicant’s application for voter registration.” Section 5.13 provides that a mail ballot “may be accepted only if” the DPS number or last four digits of an SSN on the carrier envelope or signature sheet identifies “the same voter identified on the applicant’s application for voter registration.”

The United States presented evidence to the court that S.B. 1 has resulted in Texas election officials rejecting tens of thousands of mail ballot applications and mail ballots cast in elections since the bill was enacted in 2021. The Department asserts that these rejections violate federal law, denying Texas voters the statutory right to vote protected by Section 101.

Yesterday’s preliminary ruling from the court grants the Justice Department’s motion for summary judgment, which the Department filed in May 2023, in its entirety. The decision addresses the Justice Department’s sole pending claim in La Unión del Pueblo Entero v. Abbott, No. 5:21-cv-844 (WDTX), a case in which the United States and several private parties are challenging various aspects of S.B. 1. The court noted that the ruling will be followed in the coming weeks by a final written opinion and order. A group of private plaintiffs will be going to trial on the remaining claims in the case, which have not yet been resolved. That trial is scheduled to begin on Sept. 11.

Complaints about discriminatory practices may be reported to the Civil Rights Division through its internet reporting portal at www.civilrights.justice.gov or by calling (800) 253-3931.

Additional information about the Civil Rights Division’s work to uphold and protect the voting rights of all Americans is available on the Justice Department’s website at www.justice.gov/crt/voting-section.

I thought that the mantra of most western worlds was ‘we don't negotiate with terrorists.’ So why is everyone expecting Israel to negotiate with them?

Nisha Sharma is doing THE MOST to romanticize Indian clothes and jewelry in Marriage and Masti and I'm loving it so far— the mangalsutra, choora, him draping her dupatta for her, the chiming of her anklets while he's like, UNDER her lehenga skirt, him helping her with her baliyan earrings afterwards........

🇨🇵 French President Emmanuel Macron Has Announced the Recall of the French Ambassador to Niger, Says Military Cooperation with the West African Nation is "Over"

"France has decided to withdraw its ambassador" President Macron told French television in an interview today.

"In the next hours our ambassador and several diplomats will return to France."

Macron added that military cooperation between the two countries was now "over" and French troops would withdraw in the coming weeks and months.

"In the weeks and months to come, we will consult with the putschists because we want this to be done peacefully."

France currently has an estimated 1'500 French soldiers in the Sahel region of Niger.

Previously, the Military junta in Niger had asked the French Ambassador to leave their country and was issued a 48-hour ultimatum to leave or face arrest. Still, the Macron Government refused to recall their ambassador who refused to leave the country of his own accord; a childish episode by an imperialist brat, witnessed the world over.
