Kultūras ministrijas padotības iestādēm un kapitālsabiedrībām jāizslēdz krievu valoda no publiskās telpas - to paredz kultūras ministra Naura Puntuļa rīkojums. Krievu valoda nav izmantojama ne iestāžu funkciju veikšanā, ne reklāmās, ne atbalstītos vai īstenotos projektos, ne starptautiskos pasākumos. Tas nozīmē, ka Agneses Lāces laikā slēgtie absurdie krievu valodas izmantošanu veicinošie projekti nevarēs turpināties. Tāpat publiskajā telpā nevarēs atrasties teātru izrāžu reklāmas krievu valodā. Visas darbības īstenojamas līdz 30. jūlijam, rīkojums neattieksies uz profesionālu māksliniecisko darbību, ja radošā darba orģinālvaloda ir krievu. Latvijā ir viena valoda - latviešu valoda un valstij ir pienākums veidot vienotu informatīvo telpu latviešu valodā.

Skaidrs, ka nokavēts un bija jādara daudz agrāk. Diemžēl pretestība un sabotāžas līmenis joprojām ir ārprātīgi, Leila Rasima no Progresīvajiem pat pēc komisijas balsojuma uzstājīgi piedāvāja komisijai izstrādāt vēl kaut kādu alternatīvo versiju. Diemžēl juridiski agrāk nevar, jo valsts zaudēs tiesvedības šīm radio programmām. Taču es Jums piekrītu - sabotieru dēļ šis jautājums ir novilcināts maksimāli ilgi un šo sabotieru vienīgais mērķis bijis sargāt sev tik ļoti tuvo krievu valodu

Šodien ar Izglītības un zinātnes ministri Ilzi Indriksoni vienojāmies par kopīgu redzējumu kā būtu jāmaina augstākās izglītības joma attiecībā uz ārvalstu studentu piesaisti. Studijas nedrīkst kalpot par aizsegu ekonomiskajai imigrācijai - nepieciešama stingra kontrole attiecībā uz ārvalstu studentiem. Tikšanās laikā pārrunājām nepieciešamās normatīvo aktu regulējuma izmaiņas attiecībā uz ārvalstu studentu uzņemšanas un uzturēšanās uzraudzības mehānismiem.

How it feels in France right now.

Woke History

Remigration now.

Just like with anything else, getting AD-missiles to Crimea is really hard right now. Getting in enough is impossible, especially when you also have to secure Moscow. Crimea remains an open wound. Russia will at some point have to make the choice, die of blood loss or amputate.

And public health treated prevention as optional. No clean air mandate, mild reframed as fine, reinfection normalized. If this signal holds, we will have run an uncontrolled neurodegeneration experiment on the whole population and called it returning to normal.

Semmelweis showed that disease prevention is largely a function of physical habits (washing hands), which are downstream standards (whether doctors thought the current situation was good enough), which are downstream culture (doctors looking at data or the status quo). So, I'm not surprised that one of the probably largest improvements in disease prevention & public health will come from a culture that's very different from the medical establishment.

There’s so much research explaining the future health harms coming society’s way as a result of repeated Covid infections, now, and here’s another one, below. Yet there is so much denial that Covid is anything more than ‘just a cold’. The NHS is facing a tsunami of ill health.

Beijing just passed a terrifying new law that claims legal authority over what you say online, no matter where you live in the world. On July 1, 2026, China will implement the Ethnic Unity and Progress Promotion Law. Article 63 of this legislation explicitly extends legal liability to overseas individuals and organizations for actions deemed as destroying ethnic unity or creating ethnic division. This directly targets online criticism of the CCP's policies in Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong, or Taiwan. The international community is already sounding the alarm. According to reports from the Taiwanese news channel Mirror News and the Japanese publication PRESIDENT Online, a Japanese lawmaker slammed the law as the extremity of tyranny aimed at policing foreign speech and international business. The real strategy here is not mass arrests abroad. The analysis notes that the CCP wants to force self-censorship among academics, businesses, and Taiwanese citizens through symbolic prosecutions and travel risks. By chilling international engagement on sensitive topics, this law significantly raises the financial and operational risks of doing business with China. Will this law successfully force global companies and universities to censor themselves? #FreeSpeech #China #CCP #Censorship #Taiwan #GlobalBusiness #BreakingNews

⚡️ @Netflix has acquired rights to the Russian series Masha and the Bear, which incorporates pro-Kremlin, militaristic propaganda aimed at children. 🧵 1/15 ⬇️

Western media is quietly scrubbing the raw truth about China from your newsfeed, all to keep the CCP happy. Here is what is actually happening. The CCP is using a devastating silent weapon against global newsrooms: access. If an international news outlet exposes human rights abuses or elite corruption, Beijing threatens to cancel reporter visas and block lucrative corporate profits in the Chinese market. The concrete evidence is damning. Mega-outlets like Bloomberg have previously spiked deep investigations into the hidden wealth of China's ruling elite just to protect corporate revenue. Networks like the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation were forced to shut down bureaus entirely after Beijing quietly refused to issue visas to their correspondents. Even the BBC’s veteran reporter John Sudworth had to flee to Taiwan following severe safety threats over his coverage of Xinjiang detention camps. To save their bottom lines, other major networks are folding. They are choosing to engage in what experts call "linguistic laundering," swapping out accurate words like "authoritarian" for harmless euphemisms preferred by Beijing. University of Alberta Professor Reza Hasmath exposed this systemic blackmail in the current affairs magazine The Diplomat. The data completely backs it up. The Foreign Correspondents’ Club of China, a professional association representing international journalists, reported that an astonishing 98 percent of correspondents say reporting conditions fail to meet international standards, with 86 percent experiencing declined or canceled interviews. Corporate media is trading accuracy for access, letting an autocratic regime dictate exactly what you are allowed to read. #PressFreedom #China #Censorship #Media #CCP #FreeSpeech #GlobalNews #Journalism thediplomat.com/2026/06/how-…

My daughter's friend in grad school, upon being asked by a member of her dissertation committee why she didn't include a Marxist perspective. "I grew up in the Soviet Union. I don't practice recreational Marxism."

It's time for James Bond movies to have more diversity by featuring more Bond Villainesses. I've come up with the perfect Bond Villainess name--Marie-France van Heel of Octopus Energy, who would be married to Bond's boss's boss, the new Prime Minister. Oh, wait...Van Heel exists

My documentary on the Islamification of Birmingham has been demonetized on YouTube after reaching 600,000 views. So here is the entire video on X. In the video, I'm told that it's okay to strike your wife if she's disobeying you. I'm told that I would have to leave the grocery store and go to the city center in order to be able to find a white person. I'm told that all women in the UK who cheat should be executed. Thank you to @elonmusk for commenting on this video and allowing this content to be on X. If it weren't for X I genuinely think the west would have reached the point of no return already.

The right or center-right have now won 12 of last 15 presidential elections in Latin America. For those who argue it's merely an "anti-incumbent" trend, well, this list includes governing party victories in Costa Rica, Ecuador, DR & El Salvador. Every election is different because countries are different. Candidates matter. So does an incumbent party's willingness to break the bank in order to boost its electoral chances... But I think of this as a prevailing wind -- and the wind is blowing right, mainly because of concern over crime, which shows up throughout Latin America as the No 1 concern of voters. If the wave continues or not... well, that depends on whether this group of right-wing leaders can deliver actual results. h/t to @Zovatto55 who mentioned these numbers this am and @claudeai for the chart

Cik tā Rīga tomēr ir neliela... tik neliela, ka BBC und DW abas atrod vienu 74-gadīgo Gaļinu Nikolajavu, lai iztirzātu krievijas pilsoņus, kam jāpamet Latvija.🙈 Kā viņi to spēja, kas un kā koordinēja?😁

Occupied Crimea ❗ 🚌 A transport disruption has been reported at the railway station in occupied Simferopol. Trains are currently not operating, leaving passengers stranded amid large crowds. Travelers are being transported to Kerch by bus, but a shortage of buses has led to long delays.
