1/ Russia may be preparing to announce a mass mobilisation, a bad peace deal with the US, or confiscate people's savings to fund the war effort, according to Russian warbloggers. They suspect that the government wants to ban Telegram to block public dissent over such moves. ⬇️ 
2/ Russian officials have hinted strongly that Telegram, which is currently being slowed down and partly blocked by the government, faces a total ban by 1 April 2026. 'Alex Parker Returns' writes (in a since-deleted post) that the government faces a dilemma:

After all, since 2019 [1] [2], i.e. much earlier than Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, as suggested by the @FT article [3], the dictator of the RF, V. V. Pootin, has been promoting a revisionist version of the history of WWII with reference to Poland.

The Human Problem: Mimetic Rivalry
Human beings imitate not only behavior but desire. We want what others want. This imitation escalates into rivalry. Rivalry spreads. Crisis follows. When crisis becomes uncontrollable, societies resolve it through a scapegoat.

The community converges on a single victim. The victim is blamed for the chaos. The victim is expelled or killed. Peace returns. The victim is later mythologized as either monster or god. This pattern, lies beneath archaic religion, myth, and even early political order.
Religion, in its ancient form, is born from this violent expulsion. It sacralizes the killing that restored peace. In myth Greek, Roman, Mesopotamian, etc. The victim is guilty. The mob is portrayed as justified. Violence appears sacred. The community’s unity seems righteous.
NEW: The Marylander Condominium needed millions in repairs after Prince George's County stood by as a nearby homeless encampment terrorized the condo.
One bank said it would lend if the county guaranteed the loan.
But the county refused—and now residents are being evicted.🧵

But the county refused—and now residents are being evicted.🧵
After members of the encampment allegedly vandalized the boiler room, 100 units were left without heat and in violation of local safety codes. The damage prompted building inspectors to deem those units "unfit for human habitation" in December and order their occupants to leave.
The situation made the Marylander toxic to lenders, who feared that it was all but guaranteed to default. Starved for credit and at risk of collapse, the condo found financing from a local bank that agreed to lend on one condition: The county would have to guarantee the loan.
@HellmerMitzi @Anna_Giaritelli It is not cruelty to encourage undocumented foreign nationals to return to their home countries.
America, by law, has not chosen to welcome the entire world to live in our country.
It was cruel for the Biden Administration to lie to them.

Stubb: Is it in U.S. interests that Finland, with its 1,340 km Russia border, has a strong army?
That Sweden and Norway defend the Arctic? That Russia creates no spheres of influence in Europe? Yes. Right now, interests matter more than values.

Stubb: Europe and America’s interests sometimes align, sometimes don’t — values are complicated.
One strand is MAGA, which sees Europe as too liberal, “killing itself with immigration,” and attacks places like London as multicultural melting pots.

Why is 🇸🇪 allowing Samidoun to expand while other gov'ts, including in Europe, are cracking down?
Last week, 🇬🇷 authorities detained Samidoun's Europe head Mohammed Khatib, citing “national security" concerns. The group is banned in the 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇮🇱 🇩🇪 for its affiliation w/ the PFLP.

NGO Monitor’s new report documents how Samidoun is expanding its operations in Sweden, organizing nationwide demonstrations that promote “armed resistance”. Samidoun members have publicly praised Hamas, Hezbollah, and the PFLP, declaring these groups “our comrades” and “our heroes”. >>
Samidoun’s recently detained European Coordinator Mohammed Khatib, a PFLP member, admonished Sweden at the 2024 Gothenburg radical book fair for not offering stronger “support for the resistance.” In 2025, 🇧🇪 revoked his status. >>

Let’s say you put 20% down on a $500k home…
Typically ~25% of the purchase price can be bonus depreciated into year one (because land value doesn’t qualify).
Here’s how much this can save you in taxes in 2025:

PEPTIDES are the best-kept secret in modern medicine.
They heal your body, boost muscle growth, and even slow aging.
They might even explain how celebs like Hugh Jackman and Jennifer Aniston still look 30 in their 50s.

First off, what are peptides?
They’re short chains of amino acids—tiny proteins made of 2 to 50 building blocks.
They act like messengers, telling your body to heal, regenerate tissue, and balance hormones.
But why should you care about them?

As you get older, your body produces fewer peptides.

📡 Russian forces had been running battlefield comms on hijacked Starlink terminals — routed through 3rd countries. Commercial access. Unauthorized. Systematic.
Not edge cases. Battalion C2. Drone ops. Artillery correction. All of it.

Every Ukrainian-authorized terminal registered.
Everything else: deactivated.
~90% of Russian front-line Starlink access went dark. Simultaneously.

The Guardian says it’s “searching for Palestine.”
What it’s actually doing? Searching for a verdict.
From the first episode, the conclusion is already written – Israel is guilty, context optional.

From the outset, every Palestinian interviewee rejects Israel’s legitimacy.
Only one state can exist, they say.
Yet when peace fails, the blame lands solely on Israel.
If one side rejects coexistence outright, that isn’t background noise.
It’s the central obstacle. You wouldn’t know that from this episode.

An interviewee claims Israel “came and cancelled everything” – culture, currency, identity.
But the footage shown includes the Palestinian pound from the British Mandate. With Hebrew printed on it.
That inconvenient historical reality? Left unexplored.
