I’m flying to Israel tomorrow night to vote on Tuesday. In a different year, I might have chosen differently. This year, I’m voting for the best chance to save Israel. Who, and why, in the video. If you can vote, go out and do it. 🗳️

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Thousands upon thousands of Israelis are gathered in Hostage Square, calling for change before the upcoming elections. We can have a better, more peaceful future.

Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine. Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.

Italian PM Giorgia Meloni tells the Senate: Trump’s diesel deal with Putin “legitimises Moscow while it bombs Ukraine”. “The surge in fuel prices is due primarily to the war in Iran, not the conflict in Ukraine.”

Trump just called off the livestream of the firing squad execution. Poll showed 80% of Americans opposed. This is another backtrack. The public pressure works, he’s scrambling before the midterms.

Any thoughts spared for the unfortunate crews who are pawns in a power game?

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

In meiner Geburtsstadt komme ich am Stolperstein von Karl Kovarik vorbei. Er wurde wegen Wehrkraftzersetzung am 17.7.1944 hingerichtet. Der Grund: Er hatte einen „Feindsender“ gehört. Ohne diesen Stein wüsste ich nichts von ihm. Ich bleibe öfter dort stehen. Das Verbot in Heidenau ist unsäglich.

Sachsen ist mehr als nur Heidenau.

Stadt Leipzig@stadtleipzig.bsky.social

Gedenktafeln, Stolpersteine, Ausstellungen: Erinnerungskultur in Leipzig hat viele Facetten. Wenn es nach dem Willen vieler Leipzigerinnen und Leipziger geht, soll Erinnerungsarbeit noch vielfältiger werden und weiter zunehmen ⬇️

Former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett: “We are committing suicide, and the coming government term is the last window of opportunity to save the State of Israel. “That's it. It's now or never. Because if we do not dismantle the anti-Zionist ultra-Orthodox state, we will lose the Zionist state.

When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

The concept of "reality as constructed by Donald Trump" is widely analyzed by political scientists, journalists, and psychologists as a distinct strategy of narrative control, media manipulation, and power aggrandizement.

The notion that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a suitable venue for international events is absurd. Neither has it built proper air defenses nor is its government transparent about what is actually happening. Being loaded with money hasn`t bought the Kingdom security.

“This is a perilous moment in Chicago.” 80% of religion-based hate crimes in Chicago 🇺🇸 targeted Jews in 2026. Jews reportedly make up only 2.67% of Illinois residents. When Jews say they are being targeted or feel unsafe, it is not to "play victim". We are humans, not a statistic.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz: “We take note of the agreement between the United States and Russia on diesel exports. Such a decision is out of the question for Germany and Europe.

Ukraine has repeatedly offered cease fires and Russia has always refused

The New York Times@nytimes.com

Hours after President Trump announced a deal to buy Russian diesel, a Russian attack in Ukraine, on Saturday killed at least 20 people. The Kremlin said there would be no immediate resumption of discussions to end the war. Trump said Ukraine should “get a new president.” trib.al/6soAOJj

Trump himself is toying with the idea of a third term in violation of the US Constitution.

Zelenskyy: "If President Trump really wants to have elections, tell Putin give us two months, 60 days of total ceasefire -- 60 days -- and we will organize elections. Of course, we will be ready for any choice of our people."
