We can't have Russian citizens enjoying the freedoms of European life while the Kremlin continues its missile attacks against Ukrainian families and cities. Together with Sweden, we call on the Commission and Member States to uphold a stricter visa policy for Russian applicants.

Anyone else watching the RAFA docuseries notice Rafa switch to speaking Catalan, when he was alone in the car with his wife?

Putting an elephant into a convention hall like this is torturing it beyond the full comprehension of any human being, because we do not possess the sensory capabilities elephants do. Elephants have the strongest sense of smell in the animal kingdom. They can smell WATER from many miles away. Now imagine putting this poor elephant into an enclosed space with thousands of people, perfume, food, sweat, cleaning products, flooring, and equipment. This elephant was hit with a massive wall of biological information and sensory overload that we cannot begin to understand. Elephants also sense sound and vibration through their FEET, not just their ears. In the wild, they can communicate with each other from miles away just by sensing communication through their feet. Now imagine what that elephant is experiencing in a convention hall: thousands of human footsteps, sound systems, equipment, metal clanging, concrete, and more. A confusing hell. Finally, hard artificial surfaces, in this case the convention hall floor, are terrible for elephants.
The Texas GOP having an elephant at its convention means the Texas GOP enables animal abuse. And Governor @GregAbbott_TX’s name is on the banner, which also means he condones and enables the abuse of an elephant. It is scientifically and biologically impossible to have an elephant become controllable in this fashion without subjecting it to abuse. Elephants are not domesticated. In order to accomplish this sort of obedience, you have to break the elephant down. Absolutely horrific. And it is worth noting that Texas still doesn’t have a statewide ban on the use of bullhooks against elephants. x.com/serrano_alej/status/20…

The most advanced technologies in the world are trees, mycelium networks, river systems, and entire ecosystems. I’m personally tired of idolizing human made technology that destroys the very systems that actually sustain life and hold real wisdom.

So Russia is banned from FIFA because of their invasion of Ukraine, but America is allowed to HOST THE FIFA GAMES WHILE BOMBING IRAN??? HOW DOES THAT WORK?????
Community note

Récemment, j’ai beaucoup réfléchi au cas Swiatek Qu’est ce qui ne fonctionne plus ? Pourquoi un tel changement dans son tennis, pourquoi elle ne domine plus comme avant ? J’ai tenté de répondre à ça dans cet article n’hésitez pas à donner votre avis ⬇️ eurosport.fr/tennis/wta-iga-…

IOC needs to be looking at this World Cup fiasco and start immediately planning for moving the 2028 Olympics out of the US.

And the height of irony was the fact that they portrayed Sabalenka as the Real vicitim who suffers the most from the situation.

Friendly reminder, że możemy mieć dwie gwiazdy tenisa o zupełnie różnych charakterach, w tym samym czasie i naprawdę nie trzeba ich antagonizować. Doceniajmy Igę i obserwujmy, co Maja zrobi z tym boomem. I serio, śmiało - można kibicować obu!

Dużo to tłumaczy na temat tego, jak pokazano w tym serialu Sabalenkę
Ukrainian tennis star Elina Svitolina says Netflix’s tennis docuseries ‘Breakpoint’ stopped working with her in 2022 because she kept mentioning the war in Ukraine. At the time, she couldn’t think about anything else — tennis became her platform to raise attention for Ukraine.

Maja Chwalinska è la storia che nessuno si aspettava di raccontare in questo Roland Garros ✨ Partita dalle qualificazioni, la polacca ha vinto nove partite consecutive e si è spinta fino alla finale di uno Slam per la prima volta in carriera. Un risultato straordinario già di per sé, ma che assume un significato ancora più profondo guardando al suo percorso 💪 Da junior era considerata uno dei più grandi talenti del tennis polacco, tanto che molti la ritenevano persino più promettente di Iga Swiatek. Poi sono arrivati gli infortuni, la pressione, la depressione e la decisione di fermarsi per ritrovare sé stessa 🧘‍♀️ Negli ultimi anni Chwalinska ha ricostruito tutto, un passo alla volta. E oggi, a Parigi, sta vivendo il torneo della vita. Ha eliminato Zheng Qinwen, Mertens, Sakkari, Parry e Kalinskaya e Shnaider conquistando una finale che va ben oltre il risultato sportivo 🎾 A volte il tennis regala storie che valgono quanto un titolo. Questa è una di quelle ❤️ #Tennis #RolandGarros #Chwalinska

people wondering about Chwalinska and her composure under pressure… have you seen her parents in her box??!! It’s like they’ve seen this a million times- cool, calm, & collected- just like their daughter!🔥

"We invaded Ukraine 12 years ago because they attacked St Petersburg today" Surprised russia didn't blame Ukraine for the dinosaur extinction yet.
⚡️ The Kremlin stated that its full-scale war in Ukraine is the "systemic response" to Ukrainian drone strikes hitting targets near St. Petersburg. united24media.com/war-in-ukr…

Replying to @FoxNews
Remarkable. He’s compared a puddle to three skyscrapers and somehow made it sound like a moon landing. The Lincoln Reflecting Pool is 2,000 feet long because it’s horizontal, Donald. So is the floor you’re standing on, but we’re not putting that on a chart. And Fox just sat there and took it seriously. These are grown adults with broadcast licences and, presumably, a basic grasp of geometry. Any European journalist who tried to present this without bursting into tears of embarrassment would be out of a job by Friday. In Britain, a politician who pulled this stunt would be filleted live on Newsnight and served cold by morning. In America, Fox gives it a graphic and a theme tune. In 250 years, the United States has produced Lincoln, the moon landings, and the Marshall Plan. And now this. A man with a chart comparing a pond to the Freedom Tower, surrounded by people nodding like dashboard dogs. For god’s sake.

Berrettini's matches are so boring, even just looking at the score on the computer.
