The evidence of Russia’s war crimes in Ukraine is plain to see.
Unpunished crimes encourage new atrocities.

Today, we are providing the first €10 million for the Special Tribunal to ensure that those responsible for the crimes of aggression do not escape justice.

Greetings from Kyiv!

Having a warcoffee after the workout.
It’s cold outside.
The heating season will start
on Nov 1 (usually Oct 15)
– delayed because of the attacks.

But it will start, and that’s good.
Have a nice week!

Obdachlosigkeit? Laut Merz selbstverschuldet. In Wahrheit ist sie das Ergebnis eines Systems, das Menschen fallen lässt und sie dann für ihr Fallen bestraft. Die „Neue Grundsicherung“ kippt noch Öl ins Feuer.⬇️

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

🚨Amazing:
🇳🇴 Norway’s drone detection system protecting Oslo Airport comes from 🇨🇳 Chinese company DJI Aeroscope, with system updates coming directly from DJI in China.

Unexpectedly that 🇨🇳 system was down for a full 19h from the evening of September 22nd, which is why the airport had to be closed.

Könnte es sein, dass Berlins Verwaltungskosten für Anwohnerparkausweise auch deswegen so hoch sind, weil diese noch immer (2025‼️) in Handarbeit ausgestellt werden? Selbst das Kennzeichen wird noch 👉handschriftlich✍️ aufgemalt➖und das bei💥tausenden💥Vignetten jährlich in so manchem Berliner Bezirk.

Dass ein Satz mit solch autoritärem Sound von der SPD fällt ist das eine. Dass ein Social-Media-Team sich dann hinsetzt und denkt: »Geil, den posten wir«, da fällt mir nix mehr zu ein.

🧵on the Nobel Peace Prize

Bjørn Ihler @bjornih.bsky.social · 2d

The Nobel Peace Prize is always (and should probably always be) controversial. I’ve worked with laureates, all controversial. This year’s winner is no exception.

Part of the challenge of the Peace Prize is the huge gap between what it is and what people think it should be.

Bjørn Ihler @bjornih.bsky.social · 3d

Congratulations to María Corina Machado on being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2025!
