DT Marks DEFI LLC, controlled by Donald Trump and his family, holds 22.5 billion tokens and receives 75% of sales revenue, while the project lists Trump family members in prominent roles; World Liberty Financial maintains it has robust compliance measures with no evidence of wrongdoing.

Kross, a former Estonian intelligence chief, argued that the format erases Estonia's legal continuity during Soviet occupation from 1944 to 1991, a position shared by Baltic nations and backed by non-recognizing Western governments like the U.S. A recent Wikipedia consensus from late 2025 decided to list birthplaces as 'City, SSR, Soviet Union' for consistency with historical records, applied to figures like Prime Minister Kaja Kallas. Critics compare it to WWII listings and suspect pro-Russian influence, while the page remains semi-protected amid ongoing talk page debates.

Key Takeaway

Eerik-Niiles Kross, born in Tallinn in 1967, shared screenshots of editors quickly reverting his Wikipedia page from 'Tallinn, Estonia' back to 'Tallinn, Estonian SSR, Soviet Union.' He called it a denial of Estonia's occupied history.

London Assembly member Zack Polanski, 43, plans to contest a seat in Tottenham, Walthamstow, or Hackney at the next general election, likely facing Labour heavyweights like David Lammy, Stella Creasy, and Diane Abbott. These are safe Labour strongholds with majorities over 14,000 from 2024, but Polanski sees opportunity in the Greens' rising support, backed by polls showing up to 17% nationally and strong win odds in Hackney. His announcement highlights the Greens' push into urban areas amid voter frustration with Labour on issues like Gaza and public services, with the next election not due until 2029.

The Finance Bill 2026 ends tax exemptions on disability pensions for superannuated soldiers who complete normal tenure, limiting relief only to those medically discharged due to service-related injuries. Veterans like Lt Col Mohan Ahluwalia and Major D P Singh argue it discriminates against those who pushed through pain, sharing stories of lifelong health struggles and high medical costs. Analyst Rohit Agarwal notes the revenue gain is tiny at ₹125 crore yearly, just 0.073% of defence pensions, while critics highlight global norms offering broader exemptions without retirement distinctions. Under #KeepDisabilityPensionTaxFree, calls intensify for reversal before parliamentary approval.

Key Takeaway

Indian armed forces veterans who served their full careers despite painful injuries now face taxes on their disability pensions—a change they see as unfair punishment for their perseverance.

Alex, a Haitian-New Yorker, shared the encounter on February 22, questioning if the man's grandparents owned plantations and slaves—prompting quick corrections that slavery ended in Cuba in 1886. Replies poured in defending exiles as fleeing communist takeovers, not slave-owning, while others praised the revolution for land reforms, literacy jumps from 76% to near 100%, and health improvements like infant mortality dropping from 37 to 4 per 1,000 births. Skeptics highlighted Cuba's pre-1959 strengths in literacy and GDP, later stagnation, and divides in Miami's Cuban community, from the mostly white 'Golden Exile' of 1959-1962 to diverse later waves fueling ongoing political tensions.

Key Takeaway

A New York teacher asked a Miami Cuban-American if his family fled the revolution over owning slaves. The man's reaction opened a flood of arguments about Cuba's past.
