A propos Hitze und Begrünung: #Berlins Kulturforum schreit danach komplett begrünt zu werden, quasi Teil des Tiergartens zu werden. Stadtgefühl wird zwischen diesen Solitären nie aufkommen, Parkgefühl schon.

Is democracy less important than military security? No says @anujuvonen.bsky.social security has a soft power dimension. I agree. The first battlefield is that of ideas. @glandsbergis.bsky.social #EPDAC2025

Es ist viel zu spät, aber immerhin. Es erfüllt meine Erwartung, dass #Merz im Gegensatz zu Scholz wie ein Kanzler kommuniziert (ob man die Inhalte mag oder nicht).

Update on our court case against X: An important precedent has been set. Today the Berlin Court (Landgericht) ruled that it is competent to judge this case. This is important news across the EU. A precedent that NGOs and researchers do not have to fight for their right for data access in Ireland.

Everybody says that Ukraine walked away from the 2022 Istanbul talks. Partly true. But Zelensky offered several times afterwards to negotiate with Putin personally. He does so again. But Putin, wanting to portray the elected Ukrainian leader as a problem, doesn't want to meet him as an equal.

It's legitimate to discuss whether the judge used her discretion well. The barring from office is not a quasi-automatic application of the law.

The US and Russia cannot "agree" on a deal involving another state. Avoid imperialist language. They can only propose something. @spiegel.de

It's a mystery to me how media keep buying the idea that DOGE could/may be about government efficiency rather than simple state destruction. No good faith effort for efficiency would just abolish agencies within weeks (often illegally). #DOGE

I agree with many things here, but I don't see that Merz maneuvering on asylum in January had a strong impact on voter intentions. CDU support melted in the months before. @jhillje.bsky.social @curdknupfer.bsky.social
