Yes these women are smiling, but think of all the things they are likely thinking about, behind those smiles.

Oh, I tremble just think about them...

This was not fun news.

#4  Nastya Krasilnikova, a women's rights campaigner, branded the event 'sad' and said it encourages people to see the contestants as mere objects - 'that can be admired, that can be lusted after, but that are not interesting in any other way.'

Really. Looks like they are having fun, have a talent to display, and are in good health and humor. Bet this sad sack looks like Grimace and the personality of a shrimp marshmallow grape jello mold.

I bet if it were some lame ass covid shot tiktok fuggn Daily Mail would be gushing like lena dunham after she gets a plate of shrimp marshmallow grape jello mold.

#5  "A women's rights campaigner." Isn't it strange that women are only allowed to do things approved by the Matriarchy? They don't own their own bodies --the Collective's Big Momma™ does.

Russian court tags Navalny, organizations as extremist
[TASS] The Moscow City Court ruled on Wednesday that the Anti-Corruption Foundation and the Citizens’ Rights Protection Foundation (the non-profit NGOs recognized in Russia as foreign agents) as well as the Navalny Headquarters public movement should be recognized as hard boy organizations, following a request from the Moscow City Prosecutor’s Office, the court’s press service told TASS.

"The Moscow City Court has upheld the administrative claim brought by the Moscow City Prosecutors’ Office against the Anti-Corruption Foundation nonprofit organization, the Citizens’ Rights Protection Foundation nonprofit organization, and the Navalny Headquarters public movement," the agency was told.

The press service added that the court disbanded the Anti-Corruption Foundation and the Citizens’ Rights Protection Foundation NGOs and banned the Navalny Headquarters public movement. The press service pointed out that the ruling is subject to immediate execution in terms of shutting those organizations down.

US State Department comments:
We condemn today’s decision by a Moscow court to designate as “extremist” three organizations affiliated with imprisoned opposition figure Aleksey Navalny. This designation puts staff members, volunteers, and thousands of supporters across Russia at risk of criminal prosecution and imprisonment for exercising fundamental human rights guaranteed by the Russian Constitution, and it further restricts the ability of opposition candidates to appear on the ballot in the September Duma elections. With this action, Russia has effectively criminalized one of the country’s few remaining independent political movements.

The European Parliament recommends disconnecting Belarus from SWIFT
Direct translation of the article. Edited
[REGNUM] Disconnecting Belarus from the SWIFT system "for Protasevich" was recommended by the European Parliament in its resolution, the document says.

The resolution adopted today, June 10, and bearing a recommendatory character, was approved by 626 deputies, 16 were against and 36 abstained. Minsk is convicted in it for the arrest of the founder of the TG-channel Nexta Roman Protasevich and a citizen of the Russian Federation Sophia Sapega.

MEPs demanded the release of these people, as well as other "political prisoners".

The authors of the resolution demanded that tough sanctions be introduced against Minsk, which, according to the MEPs, should be subject to a number of state and private companies. So, the oil, steel, woodworking sectors, as well as the sphere of production of potash fertilizers should fall under the sanctions.

In addition, it is proposed not to allow the state television of Belarus to broadcast matches of the European Football Championship. There was also a place in the resolution for Russia, whose “participation” in “terrorist attacks, behind which the Belarusian regime stands” , the deputies propose to conduct an investigation in the EU.
