‼️Die *gesamte* AfD gesichert (!) rechtsextremistisch. Also baut die Brandmauer wieder auf, entwaffnet die Kader, stärkt die Zivilgesellschaft und strengen wir endlich das #AfDVerbotsverfahren an. Wir haben genug Zeit verloren! Es gibt keine Ausreden mehr!

My last night in Wellington, South Africa. It's been a wonderful conference with fantastic practitioners and academics and plenty of proof that Christian Social Practice is fantastic 😊 For me, the country has been eye-opening, beautiful, bizarre and challenging. I'm so grateful for this opportunity.

Since I have defended and supported the WaPo in the months since the election and the infamous pulled endorsement, I feel obliged to say: this is very, very bad. A dear friend at a Post vet says it's the worst thing to happen to the Post in its long history, and I can't argue.

Franziskaner Maximilian Kolbe wird verhaftet
In #Auschwitz opfert er sich für einen Familienvater
Er geht für ihn als Ersatz freiwillig in den Hungerbunker
Wird dort ermordet
Kein Vergessen!
Nie wieder braune Willkür!
Nie wieder Faschismus!

I was a bit worried not to be able to vote in this hugely important federal election. But today, the papers for my postal vote arrived and are now on their way to be sent to Germany via the special courier of the embassy @uk.diplo.de . Danke für den Service. Democracy in action #GehWählen

Russischen #Matryoshka-Propagandaaccounts posten gerade massenweise KI-generierte Bilder von Menschen in Deutschland, die "muslimisch" aussehen sollen mit lodernden Bränden im Hintergrund. Massenhaft.
