The regime recently arrested & repressed #Wikipedia editors in #Belarus. As a result, Belarusian-language sections are now experiencing record lows in article growth.

In July, only 361 new articles were created - a dramatic drop from the usual 900-1100 per month.

Troops to Portland? Illegal and absurd. But the absurdity is the point. Trump policy is to ignore real threats to US security coming from abroad and use the armed forces to pursue imaginary threats from within, thereby creating an atmosphere suitable for personal rule. (1/2)

Yesterday was the opening of our major special exhibition "Foreign neighbours - Rome and the Germanic people" in our branch museum Limesmuseum Aalen.
A highlight of the exhibition is the presentation of prestigious grave goods from Germanic burials unearthed in Kariv, Western Ukraine, in 2017. 🧵1/3
