Just in time for the #WitchingHour : on #Halloween we often feature stereotypical #witches with pointy hats & warts on their noses π§ββοΈbut letβs spare a thought for the many 1000s wrongly accused of #witchcraft, in Early Modern Europe, and TODAY in many parts of the π #WitchHunts
Hunting for #witches: then and now.
Witches are a fixture in pop culture, but being considered a witch can be dangerous even today. Reporter @khelmst investigates the history of witch hunts for @dw_culture on DW.

With 90% of the vote counted, it's clear the democratic opposition in Poland just defeated the national-conservative autocratic ruling party.
I know that there are a lot of terrible things happening right now, but this, finally, is actual good news:

I am 34 y.o. Belarusian living in exile in Poland.
FIRST time in my life I will see a peaceful transition of power. To opposition. After democratic elections. With 73% turnout.
My message to you - value and protect your democracy. You can't even imagine what a miracle you have.

Five years after Jamal Khashoggi's brutal assassination sent shockwaves around the world, the path to justice for his killing remains fully blocked.
Instead, Saudi authorities continue their crackdown on freedom of speech.
An investigation must be conducted into his killing.

I hate doing this, but I am desperate for sales, as currently a few hundred pounds short of being able to cover my bills this month.
Please, if youβve ever thought about buying from me, now would be a great time. Even if all you can do is retweet this, Iβd be so grateful (1/2)
