The answer the the issue of medical bills in #USA

Друзі, а ви памʼятаєте Дмитра Шаповалова, кадри з яким, де він їсть яблуко після полону, облетіли весь світ. Сьогодні я хочу, щоб ми згадали і вшанували цього відважного воїна, бо рівно рік тому, 9 червня 2025 року, його життя обірвалося… Після полону він міг залишитися вдома, поряд із рідними, почати жити тихим мирним життям. Але не зміг дивитися, як ворог топче його землю. Тому знову став до лав ЗСУ. Знову пішов захищати Україну. Він витримав kатування, біль і нелюдські випробування в полоні і все одно повернувся до побратимів на передову. Та, на жаль, серце воїна не витримало, надто важчі знущання пережив він в полоні… Його слова: «Я про нього рік мріяв», сказані про звичайне яблуко після звільнення, тоді торкнулися мільйонів людей. Бо в ту мить кожен зрозумів справжню ціну простих речей: свободи, дому, життя… Сьогодні боляче усвідомлювати, що тієї щирої усмішки більше немає. Єдиний син. Єдиний онук. Добрий. Світлий. Справжній. Відданий своїй країні. Світла пам’ять Герою… Твою усмішку, твою силу і твою любов до України ми не забудемо ніколи. Спочивай з миром, Дмитре…

🚨 Big update from the #Alumina21 team: We’re evolving into #Alumina22! The fight isn’t over — it’s entering its next, even stronger phase. You might have noticed things have been a bit quieter on the posting front the last few days. That’s not because momentum has slowed. Far from it. Behind the scenes, we’ve been extremely busy: -Holding direct conversations and follow-ups with MEPs across multiple countries -Engaging international journalists who are now picking up the story -Coordinating with media outlets ready to amplify the message The 21st sanctions package didn’t include alumina, so we’re immediately pivoting to make sure it’s front and centre in the 22nd package. The foundation we’ve built — the MEP support, the evidence, the global awareness — is rock solid. Now we turn that into concrete action for the next round. This campaign started as grassroots and has grown into a serious international effort. Thanks to everyone who’s emailed MEPs, shared posts, translated materials, and kept the pressure on. Your work is making a difference. We’re not slowing down. We’re reloading. Keep those emails to MEPs going.
Stay tuned for more updates.
#Alumina22 is coming — and we’re ready. 💪🇺🇦 More info & resources: alumina21.com or alumina22.com

It’s Weekly Fella time. Read about russia burning, Zelenskyy trolling Putin, Armenia says f-you & the Alumina21 campaign gains momentum. Please don’t forget our fundraiser thread below. #WeeklyFella #DailyFella #DailyFellaNews #SlavaUkraini #NAFO

Hope you don't mind if I use the Irish EU Presidency logo as a way to illustrate the support for the #alumina22 campaign. Please keep sending emails to MEPS More at alumina22.com

‼️German Fellas! Estonian owned KAMILLA of Hansa shipping (previously delivered Alumina from Ireland to Russia) is currently on her way to occupied Viipuri (Vyborg), Russia from Lübeck in Germany What is she carrying and why is Hansa involved? 🤔 This is one for German NAFO 🫡

Time to combine the efforts #alumina22 & #copper22 to include both in the 22nd EU sanctions package so that neither Alumina from Ireland nor Copper Matte from Finland feeds the Russian war industry! rte.ie/news/2026/0609/157746…

Pleased to have a cartoon in the latest Private Eye. Here's one of mine from a previous issue.

Recherche von @LarsWienand von @tonline, offenbar ein Netzwerk aus alten DDR Seilschaften und neuen prorussischen Strukturen agiert aus Brandenburg heraus. Der Verein „Friedensbrücke Kriegsopferhilfe“ aus Wandlitz, geführt von der nach Russland geflohenen Stasi Tochter Liane Kilinc, steht im Visier des Generalbundesanwalts. Es geht um den Verdacht der Unterstützung einer ausländischen terroristischen Vereinigung. Der Verein sammelte rund zwei Millionen Euro Spenden für angebliche „humanitäre Hilfe“ im Donbass. Tatsächlich finanzierte er die Logistik für Transporte, bei denen prorussische Milizen und russische Soldaten gezielt mit Ausrüstung wie Drohnen, Nachtsichtgeräten und Kameraequipment versorgt wurden. Zwei Hauptakteure, der Leiter eines ehemaligen DDR Atombunkers sowie ein russischer Geschäftsmann mit Hintergrund im Militärgeheimdienst GRU, sitzen bereits in Haft. Sie sollen die illegalen Finanzströme nach Russland abgewickelt haben. Das Schlimmste daran ist nicht nur, dass dieser Verein unter dem Deckmantel humanitärer Hilfe das russische Militär im Krieg aktiv unterstützt, sondern auch, dass er offenbar jahrelang unbehelligt arbeiten konnte. Diese perfide Struktur der „Friedensbrücke-Kriegsopferhilfe“ darf keinen Tag länger geduldet werden und gehört verboten. Vielen Dank an @ThoessMarkus und @jan_wiebe

Before I leave Ireland, I want to place on record that in the last 24 hours I have received constant stalking and death threats for my reporting. However I will not be intimidated. What I have uncovered is deeply troubling, and the effort to silence it only makes that clearer.

🚨Don’t be an idiot lads. Focus on emailing your politicians and MEPs and avoid any physical interaction with the plant. Peaceful online action brought us this far. thejournal.ie/aughinish-alum…

Trump/Kushner family reincarnation of Epstein island in Albania is effectively dead in the water following weeks of mass public protest. Albanian state security forces have reportedly now taken over Sazan island from foreign security and other foreign entities. A criminal probe has been started and all the assets and accounts have been frozen while the corruption investigation is on-going into the Trump/Kushner $4 billion development.

This should have been America over the Epstein files

BREAKING: HELL YES! Albania strikes a crushing blow against Jared Kushner's corrupt private island development by FREEZING the bank accounts of a major company tied to the project. And it gets even better... According to Albanian reporter Lindita Cela, the nation's anti-corruption prosecutors have frozen the accounts of a landholding company involved in Kushner's $4 billion luxury resort plans. The move comes as massive protests sweep the country, with local residents incensed at the idea of Ivanka and Jared gobbling up coveted real estate to create a vacation spot for the Epstein Class. The slogan “Albania Is Not for Sale" has been spreading like wildfire and clashes between police and protestors are increasing in intensity. The asset seizure was ordered by the Special Prosecution Against Corruption and Organized Crime and is part of a broader investigation into possibly fraudulent property titles. Suspiciously, the company in question is owned by Qatari oligarchs Moutaz and Ramez Al-Khayyat. Kushner's ties to dirty Gulf money are well-established. They blossomed during his time in the first Trump administration, where he twisted American foreign policy to benefit specific actors in the region in return for massive investments and business advantages. This deal is rotten all the way to the core. The Al-Khayyats have snatched up property along a protected stretch of coastline of the Adriatic Sea and it's here and on a nearby island that Kushner intends on erecting his resort for the top 1% of the top 1%. Given what we know about the Trump family, it's safe to presume that the development will serve as a paradise for pedophiles, war criminals, and human traffickers. But this time, Jared bit off more than he can chew. Albanians are a proud, defiant people. They've survived centuries of larger regional powers seeking to divide their land, rewrite their history, and erase their culture. They're not going to let one greedy businessman defeat them now. We stand with Albania! Kushner out! Ivanka out! Do you stand with the Albanian people? Please ❤️ and share to demand more investigations into Kushner!

Great reporting, as ever, by @ConorGallaghe_r @IrishTimes on ownership of Aughinish Alumina plant. Like many EU states, Ireland spent most of the last two decades in denial about the nature/extent of the Russian presence in the country. We should have changed approach in 2022.

The President of the United States is asleep at his desk. Again. Behind him stand seven grown adults in expensive suits, and not one of them is doing anything about it. One is mid-sentence. Another is gazing sideways with the haunted look of a man whose pension depends on never acknowledging what he can see in his peripheral vision. The rest of the world is watching, and the rest of the world has noticed something. Americans are terrified of authority. That fear has settled over this administration like a fog, and it turns otherwise functional adults into warm furniture. Nobody moves. Nobody speaks. The paralysis is total. In any European parliament, in any boardroom from Oslo to Ljubljana, someone would have leaned over by now. Tapped a shoulder. Said, quietly but clearly, that perhaps this isn’t the moment. Somebody would have done something, because the alternative, pretending a sleeping man is running a meeting, would have been too absurd to sustain. Not here. Here, seven men have collectively decided that the correct professional response to the President losing consciousness in the Oval Office is to carry on as though he were a particularly demanding houseplant.
