Stellvertretende Bezirksbürgermeisterin von Hannover Linden-Limmer - des schönsten Stadtbezirks der Welt.
Deputy Mayor of Hannover Linden-Limmer - the most beautiful Borough in the world.
Even though the UK isn’t my home country, I’ll always feel connected to it through friends there and the experiences I’ve had there. Nonetheless, the most important thing for me is that we must not accept the rampant cruelty directed at our trans siblings in any country.

I have neither started a war nor claimed the territory of another borough since I’ve been in office. Where is my Nobel Peace Prize?

Krass, mit welchem Aufwand eine Demokratie ihre Totengräber schützt

On this German Unity Day, I want to point out that our country hasn’t been this divided since reunification. Not only between East and West, but also between rich and poor, and between liberal and far right politics. The democratic bond that holds our country together is wearing thin. 🇩🇪🇪🇺

Ich warte ja immer noch auf diese "Sozialdemokratische Handschrift" in der Sozialpolitik, die man uns versprochen hat...
Vier von fünf Menschen mit #Pflege-Bedarf werden daheim unterstützt, von Angehörigen, Bekannten, Diensten. Die Pflegestufe 1 unterstützt das, hilft bei der Vorsorge, entlastet Familien & fördert soziale #Teilhabe. Wenn hier gestrichen wird, werden die Folgen später teuer bezahlt!

Trump is a cunt.

Fuck his executive order.

When historians eventually analyse our time, they will call it the "Great Endarkment".

When trans people warn you of a threat. Take them seriously. They are always correct

They have been warning us about the rise of the far-right in UK, US and western Europe for years now.

One of the most rewarding parts of being a local politician is helping local groups grow and organize events for our neighbourhoods.

I'm currently in Ireland, and as a German, I find the Irish suspiciously friendly. I could get used to it.

It's a bit late, but here’s my draft for a Pride flag representing Linden-Limmer 😅

Well... that's... kind of... funny?

Russland hat den liberalen Demokratien den Kampf angesagt, verbreitet Fakenews um unsere Gesellschaft zu destabilisieren und finanziert antidemokratische Kräfte in Deutschland.

Frage an die Genossen: Welche Ideale und Freiheiten seid ihr bereit für Putin zu opfern? Wo zieht ihr die Grenze?

Kehrtwende im Umgang mit Russland? Zwei Wochen vor dem Parteitag eskaliert in der SPD ein Streit über die deutsche Außenpolitik. Für Vizekanzler Klingbeil kann das gefährlich werden.

A lesser-known fact about German history is that the Weimar Constitution, with its strong civil rights, technically remained in place during the Third Reich. The institutions meant to protect those rights were simply hollowed out and filled with fascists.
And that's why I'm so worried about the USA.

That’s the finest sight I’ve seen in years.

And as an old LARPer, I say: May our trans siblings in Canterbury find strength and safety beneath the shield of their knightess.

I recommend that those self-proclaimed Christians who are concerned about Pride Month read Job 13:5: "Oh, that you would be silent, and it would be your wisdom!"

Kind regards from a former member of a church choir.

The state of German politics:

I started out as a centrist Social Democrat 25 years ago and haven’t changed my core political beliefs since - yet now I’m often described as far left. Interesting.

One fact about my borough is that 43% of all residents have a migration background. The spoken language is German (it's in Germany), and it is one of the safest and most desirable places to live in the whole city.

Migrants aren't the problem. They are our neighbours.

Der Grund für unser abrutschen sind übrigens die selben die behaupten "Man dürfe nichts mehr sagen". Rechtsextremisten wollen Meinungsfreiheit -oder in deren Fall meistens Beleidigungsfreiheit - nur für sich selbst.
