In Pokrovsk gingen russische Soldaten brutal gegen eine Familie vor, die in der Stadt geblieben war, um auf die russische Armee zu warten.

Das Video zeigt die Aussage der Stadtbewohnerin Viktoria Shvayko gegenüber dem leitenden Ermittler der russischen Militärpolizei.

The Soviet Union was a disastrous experiment that caused millions of needless deaths.

We must ensure that nothing similar ever happens again as authoritarian leaders grow more unhinged and take over traditionally democratic countries

This is a most peculiar thing to say.

Time to issue travel warnings about the USA, about risks of infectious diseases, about electronic surveillance, about having to provide detailed social media histories, and violent arrests and deportation to unsafe countries.

The President personally designing battleships because he wants them to look badass is not doing much to challenge the "everyone is 12 now" theory of American governance.

As I didn't intend to travel to the US, excuse my French: The US administration is

- intentionally spreading fake news and lies about EU laws.
- trying to coerce European states by threatening to reduce military support if it doesn't exclude US companies from EU digital rules.

Ob Rote Hilfe, DKP, HateAid oder EUkommissare. Eins dürfte klar sein! Diese Leute könnten bald kein Bankkonto mehr haben oder Geld abheben können. Das zeigt einmal mehr wie, wie wir uns in eine existentiell bedrohliche Lage gebracht haben mit verweigerter eigener Digitalisierung.
Krass: Die US-Regierung hat Sanktionen gegen Anna-Lena von Hodenberg und Josephine Ballon von @hateaid.org erlassen, dazu trifft es auch den früheren EU-Kommissar Thierry Breton, weil "These radical activists and weaponized NGOs have advanced censorship crackdowns by foreign states". Einreiseverbot

Invincible Russia might not be.
🚨Washington Post agrees: Russian economy could break in 2026

Risks noted:
🔻Bad loans risking systemic banking crisis and mass fund withdrawals
🔻Continuing collapse of oil revenue
🔻Consumer spending dropping
🔻Companies reducing hours, laying off, or just not paying workers

Gestern Abend gab es übrigens wieder einen Protestmarsch von Schüler*innen (Eltern/Lehrkräften) eines Gymnasiums in Novi Sad. Wenn eine demokratische Kultur erst mal aktiviert ist, hält sie an. Ein oft genanntes Ziel in #Serbien: dass diese aktive Gesellschaft anhält, unabhängig der polit. Führung.✊🏻

Merry Christmas to all my friends from Bluesky. At the Christmas Eve table, remember those who can't be with their families this Christmas because they're defending us at Pokrovsk, Kupyansk, or Huliaipole.

So the US administration considers hate speech and disinformation “American viewpoints“? 🙄
HateAid is an organization that also helps climate scientists to defend themselves against online abuse and threats.
Its founder was awarded the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany 🇩🇪 this year.
“Imran Ahmed, chief executive of Centre for Countering Digital Hate; Josephine Ballon and Anna-Lena von Hodenberg, leaders of HateAid, a German organization; former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton, who was responsible for digital affairs; and Clare Melford, who runs the Global Disinformation Index.”
US bars five Europeans it says pressured tech firms to censor American viewpoints online
The State Department is barring five Europeans it accuses of leading efforts to pressure U.S. tech firms to censor or suppress American viewpoints.

Meanwhile, NL is reeling from Nile Gardiner (Heritage) telling the Dutch public broadcaster in an interview he 'wants to see the end of the EU' (following an article he wrote a few days ago).

The Dutch are not strongly pro-EU, but they really dislike Trump - hoping for a rally around 🇪🇺 flag effect
It's not just Breton either, but also current directors of NGOs working on disinformation and to counter hate speech online in Europr. This will have a major chilling effect on European other NGOs and think tanks working in this space too. US admin showing the NSS means business.
In a major escalation against the EU, alongside civil society representatives the Trump Administration sanctions former Commissioner Breton for work he did in official capacity ↘️ www.state.gov/releases/off...

Das BMWE hat mittlerweile eine Erklärung zu den Änderungen am Monitoring-Bericht zur Energiewende gegeben. Doch wirklich überzeugend ist diese nicht - denn sie steht im Widerspruch zum internen Mailverkehr zwischen dem Ministerium und den Gutachtern. Dazu ein Thread: (1/10)

1‘400 Tage dauert nun schon die „Vergewaltigung“ der Ukraine durch die „Kulturnation russland“ und seine gleichgültigen Völker, denen jeder Rest von Menschlichkeit und Mitgefühl verloren gegangen ist.

Seit 1‘400 Tag morden und zerstören sie in der Ukraine ungestraft.

Meine diesjährige Reise ins Baltikum geht dem Ende entgegen. Und es ist mir ein großes Bedürfnis zu sagen, was alle längst wissen sollten.

Russland bereitet sich auf einen Angriff gegen die NATO vor. Der Kreml schlägt alle diplomatischen Angebote aus. Dieses Russland ist unser Feind.

Winterzeit, Erkältungszeit: Anne Verhoeven (Landwirtschaftskammer NRW) empfiehlt bei #Bioland Globuli für erkrankte Rinder:

Drosea C30.

Das Mittel enthält rechnerisch 1 Molekül der Pflanze "Sonnentau" in einer Wasserkugel von 150 Millionen Kilometern.

#Tierquälerei, staatlich empfohlen.

Jungtiere frieren schnell, da sie wenig Körperfett haben und ihnen in den ersten Lebensmonaten der Pansen, als Wärmequelle fehlt. Gut temperierte Ställe, Einstreu, Kälberdecken und vorbeugende Mittel ...

Mitt Romney said the quiet part out loud: the rich should pay more in taxes.
The Wall Street Journal attacked him for it.
But he’s right—and ignoring the math is how democracies crack.

Absolutely - there definitely are many things we can and should do to reduce the risk. That's why I keep talking about it :).

But in the long term, we also need an independent deterrent. Can't rely too much on the goodwill and sacrifice of others.
