For two years, student-led protests have raged against Aleksandar Vučić and his corrupt government in Serbia. Today, in parliamentary elections, he was toppled. One of the most sustained protest movements in recent European history has succeeded. Resistance works.

The full story here needs told globally In 2024, students began protests. In 2025, the movement evolved into sustained, civil disobedience - from road blockades to mass demos. In 2026, the protesters formed their own political party. Weeks later, they turfed an authoritarian from office. Resist.

The images and footage from across Serbia tonight are genuinely inspirational. A protest movement taking its country back. This is Freedom Square in the city of Novi Sad. 🇷🇸👏 (🎥 192 RS)

The ballot box finishing what two years of bodies in the street started is the part worth studying. Vucic had the media, the money and the police, and still lost. Moscow just lost its cheapest Balkan voice, and now the students have to turn a protest list into a government.

Two years of bodies in the street, then a ballot box to finish it. Vucic spent a decade selling Brussels and Moscow as equal options while pocketing Kremlin gas money. The bill came due. Belgrade is the West's door again.

I feel you on this one. Our internet really can be a way to liberate ourselves from the teevee mind…but it’s going to take a LOT to get the reality tv mindset from turning everything into para- #socialmedia Keep stirring the pot, just remember to switch hands 🫡😅

weil unsere Machthabenden genau sehen, wo ihr wunder Punkt ist, der Gesellschaften mobiliiert: Korruption. Und die ist von CumEx über Erbrecht bis S21 und zum EEG so überbordend, dass sie natürlich Angst haben, es ginge ihnen wie Vučić. Und so muss es ihinen gehen.

The same machine that kept him in power for a decade couldn't deliver the result he needed. Students forced the vote, then beat him at it. Moscow lost its cheapest Balkan mouthpiece in the process.

It is amazing to me that Gen Z in the US isn’t out in the street every day. Their future is being made bleaker and bleaker every day by our criminal regime.

I feel so fucking impotent. When the Iranian schoolgirls were killed, I took my upside down flag and made a sign and walked down to a busy intersection near my house and stood there for a couple of hours. It felt good I wish we could do this. Huge crowds, sustained by shared anger and hope.
