An absolutely disastrous idea, which would be a total #surrender of #Ukrainian #sovereignty, rendering the #country little more than an #American #colony. Does #Trump think this would be acceptable to #Putin, let alone #Zelenskyy? Yet another example of Trumpist spontaneous #foreignpolicy, not to mention sheer idiocy.

Trump offers to take control of Ukraine's nuclear plants in call with Zelensky

President Donald Trump proposed that the United States take control of Ukrainian nuclear power plants to protect them from Russian attacks during a Tuesday call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelensky said Kyiv was "ready" to pause attacks on Russia's energy infrastructure, a day after Moscow agreed to halt similar strikes on Ukraine.

Left wins. Right wins. The bureaucracy grows either way.

Maybe the most honest question isn't which side to choose, but why the choice keeps producing the same result.

The Questions They Don't Want You to Ask

Somewhere, decisions are being made about your life. The interesting question is not whether this is true, but who is in the room when it happens.

The fatherland era in Nigeria was good, and I honestly don't understand why President Tinubu took us back to the "motherland" by giving us a colonial anthem. It feels completely backwards for a sovereign, independent country to throw away its own indigenously composed anthem and readopt one left behind by our former colonial masters.

To many of us, it feels like our sovereignty is being taken for granted. We are being forced to sing a song that many people don't even know, and honestly, I for one won't even try to learn it or sing it. I pray the next president reverses this decision, changes it back, and restores our pride.

Bring back our freedom! "Arise, O Compatriots, Nigeria's call obey," that is our true anthem, not this recycled colonial song. 🇳🇬✊

Dems in #Maine’s #2ndDistrict race tackle #tribal topics in #PresqueIsleME

By Cameron Levasseur, May 13, 2026

"The four Democrats competing in a June primary to face former Gov. #PaulLePage for Maine’s 2nd Congressional District met Wednesday night in Presque Isle at a forum put on by the #WabanakiAlliance to discuss tribal sovereignty and other issues facing the state’s native population.

"Hosted by the #MikmaqNation, one of Maine’s four #WabanakiNations, the event lasted two hours and covered a broad range of topics, from #WaterRights to gaming legislation to the teaching of #NativeHistory in Maine’s schools.

"The candidates — State Auditor #MattDunlap, state Sen. #JoeBaldacci, former political operative #JordanWood and social worker #PaigeLoud — agreed on nearly everything, chiefly in their wholehearted support of #TribalSovereignty.

"#Sovereignty has dominated the political conversation around Maine’s tribes for years, with majority support for its expansion in the state legislature countered by opposition from the state’s executive leaders, including LePage and then Gov. #JanetMills.

" 'Only when I worked on these issues federally … did I understand how wrong Maine has been to its tribes and the need to rectify that #injustice,' Wood said.
If elected, all four said they would reintroduce a 2022 bill put forth by U.S. Rep. Jared Golden, to amend the #MaineIndianClaimsSettlementAct of 1980 and give the Wabanaki the same rights under federal law as the 570 #FederallyRecognizedTribes.

"Golden currently represents the 2nd District but abruptly announced last fall that he would not seek reelection. His bill failed in the Senate after it was blocked by Sen. #AngusKing, another Maine politician who has expressed skepticism at tribal rights expansions."

A #smart move by #mistral to focus and #specialise their #models , answering to #sovereignty #industry and #confidentiality needs.
The #competition on cutting edge models is unbearable. #EU is missing fundamental pillars: #chip making, #energy sources, #investments and what is more important: a political coordinated #vision. Of course, while valuable, mistral contribution is a patch on a much larger #problem. But it can make the difference.

#OpenSource still in the EU mix, according to new reporting from @politico based on the draft of the European Commission's new strategy for technological #sovereignty.

"This ecosystem is key to boosting Europe's competitiveness by accelerating innovation, lowering technology costs, reducing dependence on foreign vendors and enabling local companies, researchers and governments to build secure, customizable and globally competitive digital solutions," the draft strategy document says.

The scale of the construction, which hasn’t been previously reported, points to a sweeping expansion of hardened infrastructure designed to protect & operate #China’s land-based #nuclear forces. Taken together, the network signals a significant upgrade in Beijing’s efforts to ensure second-strike [or first] capability, underscoring intensifying nuclear competition with the #US as tensions rise over issues such as #Taiwan’s #sovereignty.
