Gave my vote early to the municipal election in Denmark next week. In #Helsinge, where they had this optimistic painting.
It will be summer again. Democracy will prove to be stronger than rule by crazy and criminal authorian leaders.

True.
During visit to Washington DC I one day saw Tea Party demonstration and the next day a much bigger demonstration of immigrants wanting to stay in US. (Photo)
But the scale of No Kings demonstrations even bigger.
Thank you to another and better US!

Jeg var en hurtig tur på Herlev for en uge siden - og er taknemmelig for et godt sundhedsvæsen

Evidence from #Frederiksberg Have
I try to walk every day, also when visiting new towns.
Now and then I run or take the bike, but walking is first priority

Gave a lecture today about Danish #communists - and a small group of Germans in exile - in the resistance during German occupation.
It was for Friends of our Museum of Libaration - but in the Museum of War.
1941-43 Danish communists were dominant in the resistance, then other groups grew 1944-45.

Biskops Arnö around 60 km outside Stockholm. Folkhögskola = young people from Sweden but also other Nordic countries coming to learn for instance to make documentary films or write fiction. Not so far from the city but on a beautiful island.
You can also come as B and B guest.

Tired of history-in-the-making in a bad direction.

So here some books about #history for the coming months.

Heute gab es leider zu viel Wind, so nur Berta hat gemalt. Ich warte auf ruhiger Tag.

3.000 followers - thank you
At the moment you will here mainly get reposts about history-in-the-making
Sometimes also about #history esp. about communists in the #Comintern Era 1919-1943/45. I’m occupied with the people active then, less with the ideology
Now and then also photos as guest in garden

Got for me new German-French books about #communists including about Elise Ewert and Rosi-Wolfstein-Fröhlich. But also Henri Barbusse and his efforts through #Comintern

Found them on zvab.de

Do you have this ship around 10.45 12 June South of Allinge on Northern Bornholm? Soon after a Danish F16 went down towards it.

On #Bornholm for Folkemødet = democracy festival #fm2025

First visit to the fine art museum on the island. Figure to the right might be inspired by not so democratic poltician in a former superpower

Inside the museum art from Bornholm, also from a German #refugee Herbert von Garvens here from 1936
