This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.
And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

Die USA und die Ukraine sprechen von „konstruktiven“ Friedensgesprächen in Miami – eine Einigung gibt es weiterhin nicht. Der Diplomat @weissmartin.bsky.social sieht klar, dass „Russland auf der Bremse steht, die wollen einfach nicht“. Und Donald Trump spiele dabei mit. #ORFIIIAKTUELL

EU agrees to indefinitely immobilise €210 billion of Russian assets
The EU has decided to keep the assets of the Russian Central Bank immobilised for the foreseeable future. The ban, which is based on a provision for economic emergencies, pushes back against external attempts to release the €210 billion in assets before Ukraine is compensated.

Not sure which Europe the US National Security Strategy is talking about. Not the one I am living in!
Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇

'Leistbarkeit' ist im Deutschen ein sperriges Wort, 'affordability' klingt da schon besser. Letztlich geht es aber darum, ob sich die Menschen ihr Leben noch leisten können. Denn wenn nicht, dann wird es für die Politik eng. In den USA genauso wie in Europa.

Wenn sich der „Faschist“ und der „Kommunist“ einig sind
„Affordability“, also Leistbarkeit, beschäftigt sowohl New Yorks Bürgermeister Mamdani als auch US-Präsident Trump. Letzterer tut sich aber schwer damit.

Oh the chutzpa: Putin invades Ukraine in a blatant violation of international law. Then, after four years of war, he demands that Ukraine give up some more of its territory for the war to end....I have a revolutionary idea: how about Russia withdraws it's troops from the territory or it's neighbour?
