Zzzzz… russia wanted to “talk” after it had invaded and annexed a large part of Ukranian territory, partly succeeded with the same tactic in other parts and totally delegitimised the Ukrainian nation/culture. And you wonder why they weren’t taken seriously?

[Coup de ❤️] Mohamed 16 ans et khalid 17 ans. Ne partant en vacances et éprouvant des difficultés à trouver un travail car ils sont mineurs, Mohamed, Khalid et 7 autres ont créé leur entreprise dans les services aux particuliers (cours particuliers, déménagements, jardinage, cours particuliers, lavage de voiture, promenade d'animaux...). Ils se déplacent dans toute la métropole lilloise. Quelle belle expérience ! Quel courage ! Bravo à ces jeunes et au centre social @cjscheminrouge notamment Ilyes qui les accompagne dans leur projet !

Vladimir @vkaramurza Kara-Murza is in a prison hospital. His condition is unknown. After surviving poisonings and a 25-year sentence for opposing Putin, he may not survive this. 🧵1/8

Lawyers have finally been allowed to visit @vkaramurza in the prison hospital. But there are still more questions than answers. 🧵Here's what I know from my personal experience with Russian prison hospitals

Fascism is might over right, conspiracy over reality, fiction over fact, pain over law, blood over love, doom over hope.

Latest: An analysis of open source evidence, as well as multiple missile experts, have pointed to a Russian launched Kh-101 cruise missile being the weapon that struck a children’s hospital in Kyiv bellingcat.com/news/2024/07/…

BREAKING: CNN just released their fact check of Donald Trump throughout the debate. It turns out Donald Trump lied on just about every answer. Retweet so all Americans see this vital fact check on Trump’s BS.

When Putinism lies in ruins, Russians will remember the fearless moral clarity of this prison letter from Darya Kozyreva, a medical student first expelled from university and then arrested for her antiwar actions. 'Russia is wrapped in a heavy, impenetrable cocoon, a cocoon of silence. How many crimes the Putin dictatorship has committed, how many foreign cities it has seized and devastated, how many killings and tortures it has meted out, and the response to all these outrages is a deafening silence. Many prefer not to know what is happening, to close their eyes and stop listening. Many deceive themselves, wishing to be deceived - after all it is so easy to believe blindly what the television says, even if it is broadcasting the most monstrous lies. But many know perfectly well what this vile regime is doing. They endure the burden of their dissent, their outrage, their anger. And all the same, they are silent. Just as any crime is committed with somebody's tacit consent, so any dictatorship is maintained thanks to the people's silence. A colossus with feet of clay will be worthless if all the dissenters speak out. But they are silent. One person thinks that everything has been decided, and that there is no reason for them, a minor figure, to get mixed up in this. Another hopes that others will say everything - but those others also find excuses to remain silent. The real reason for this silence is human fear, visceral fear. No dictatorship can make everyone believe in it - therefore it constantly resorts to fear, its first and last instrument for subjugating the people. Germans in the era of Hitler obediently shouted 'Heil,' understanding the consequences of disobedience; Soviet people in the era of Stalin were afraid to whisper in their own kitchens for fear of being denounced. The steamroller of repression doesn't need to crush every dissenter, just a few demonstrative examples, and the rest will gag their own mouths. The absurdity of Putinist repression has reached such heights that any trifle can become a pretext for persecution - and no one knows what one can say. The criminal in the Kremlin is satisfied; that's exactly what he needs. As long as everyone is silent, his own skin will be safe. That is precisely why one cannot stay silent. No, human fear is understandable: it is very difficult to risk one's position, one's future, one's freedom. To say nothing of the fact that many have families - for these people, the fear is doubled. But will it be easier for these families to live under a dictatorship, under tightening screws, behind an iron curtain? A dictatorship can continue to wreak its atrocities, its lawlessness, as long as it feels strength and power. Nothing will change as long as everyone remains submissively silent. So perhaps the time has come to start speaking? Everyone who can speak, must speak. The individuals who dared to speak up are now too few to move anything. Everyone must speak, who does not agree with the Moscow regime. Individuals can easily be put behind bars for their words, because they are individuals. But there are not enough prisons for everyone, for all the dissenters in Russia. Even if the regime builds just as many especially for them. When, having overcome fear, everyone begins to speak out, it will time for Putin's gang to be afraid. No evil lasts for ever, any dictatorship will inevitably collapse. It can collapse of its own weight, like the USSR, or thanks to the uprising of the people. Don't let this dictatorship live any longer than it can. Speak out, people!

Jag konstaterar att jag tittar på hela säkerhetsinformationen innan planet lyfter, i huvudsak av sympati med personalen som levererar den. Ibland är livet komplicerat.

Mycket uppmuntrande siffror i det Svenska EU-valet. Tack för det 🇸🇪✊🏻

Gruppchattar avslöjade fotbollshuliganerna: ”Kaos är de enda alternativet” • Planerade upploppet på arenan i detalj – nu får de sin dom. dn.se/sport/gruppchattar-avs…

Väldigt bra och tankeväckande grafik i artikel om vänsterpartiet, beskrivande utvecklingen av terminologin i partiets program.

Att följa Trump nu är att ta ställning för något helt annat än det som har byggt de västerländska samhällena. ryssland är nog det närmaste exemplet på vad som komma skall i USA, vid en valvinst senare i år. Trump kommer att göra vad han säger att han ska. dn.se/ledare/peter-wolodarsk…

Viktigt inlägg från Institutet för mänskliga rättigheter. Som jag tidigare många gånger påpekat är det dags att stanna upp och utvärdera förslagens sammantagna effekter på rättssäkerhet, integritet och själva den liberala demokratin - innan det är för sent!🚨
