🇷🇸 Belgrade now. Looks like the entire Serbian capital is out on the streets tonight protesting against the Vucic regime.

This is what happens when someone appeases barbarians. More bombs, more aggression, more victims. Another tragic night in Ukraine.

Historische Eskalation im Weißen Haus. Die Art und Weise, wie Trump und Vance mit Selenskyj geredet haben, ist einfach nur widerlich. Egal, wie man zu Selenskyj steht und zu seiner Rhetorik: Er vertritt ein Land, das angegriffen wurde und sich jeden Tag heroisch verteidigt. Dagegen kein Wort in Richtung Putin von Trump und Vance. Unfassbar.

Es reicht. Ich habe @elonmusk stummgeschaltet und blockiert. Die Menge an Eigenwerbung auf #X ist mir definitiv zu viel.

Shut up, Elon Musk! We don‘t want your fascism in Europe!

Huge anti-corruption protest in Belgrade 🇷🇸 tens of thousands are calling on Serbia’s president Vucic to resign: VUČIĆU ODLAZI!

I consider Zelenskyy one of the greatest leaders in modern history, and here's why: - Many thought he would flee Kyiv right after Feb 2022. Instead, he stayed and decided to fight against Russian barbarism - He's been a target of massive disinformation and smear campaigns: he's been called a Nazi, Zionist, warlord, drug addict, corrupt, beggar, etc. - He still delivers messages to his people on a daily basis, whom he watches die every day - He goes around the world and asks for politicians and governments to help Ukraine defend itself, usually without any good results - He's actually gone to the front lines to meet the soldiers, unlike the bunker grandpa - He's had to make some tough war-time decision over censorship, elections, mobilization, etc. Of course there's always room for criticism, and many Ukrainians have criticized him for domestic politics, decisions over the war, and so on. But I can't remember many war-time presidents or leaders who have done better. Unfortunately, it seems like the war fatigue, US domestic politics and time has turned president Zelenskyy into a somewhat negative figure, and the Kremlin will most probably keep pushing their smear campaigns against him (just watch as its lackeys come and swarm in the comments below). As Harvey Dent famously said in Dark Knight, "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."

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.

Quel accueil du Stade Vélodrome pour cet #OMPSG 🔥 #OM #PSG @FreeLigue1

We have an agreement! All EU 27 countries have approved the 50 billion EUR financial aid package for Ukraine. It again demonstrates EU unity and that together we can deliver. An important signal to Ukraine that the EU stands behind you long-term, until victory. #EUCO

👏🏻 Germany still knows: extremism kills ! Nie wieder Faschismus ! ✊🏻

The Battle of Moscow 2023 is about to begin. Never in my sorry-ass life did I think I’d ever write such a tweet.

Dass Selenskyj offb. das 1. Mal die 🇺🇦seit Kriegsausbruch verlässt und NICHT als erstes Berlin, Paris oder Brüssel besucht, sondern Washington DC, sollte uns allen zu denken geben. Fakt ist: Ohne die Hilfe aus den 🇺🇸 gäbe es die Ukraine längst nicht mehr!

Nous reviendrons. 🇫🇷🙏🏽

Volodymyr Zelensky and the spirit of Ukraine is TIME's 2022 Person of the Year ti.me/3VzTvEG

Ismaïla Sarr's goal celebration for #SEN in this World Cup has gone unreported. Sarr is covering his eyes and pointing a finger to his head, imitating a gun. It is symbolic of the world's disregard for ongoing atrocities in Africa, especially in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Ein deutscher Gepard-Flak-Panzer schiesst eine russische Lenkwaffe vom ukrainischen Himmel. Und die Schweiz erlaubt Deutschland aus falsch verstandener Neutralität nicht, uralte, aber dringend benötigte Munition für die Geparden zu liefern. Schande.

this man is a badass

Russia: Losing a war to a country 1/4 its size Iran: Massive protests China: Increasing protests, sputtering economy U.S.: Record low unemployment, election deniers lost midterms Europe, Japan, Korea: Economically resilient, politically stable Liberalism on its last legs, huh?
