Wangari Maathai was the first female professor in Kenya and the first African woman to be awarded the #NobelPeacePrize. Born on this day, she was a committed environmentalist and founded the Green Belt Movement, which led to the planting of millions of trees.

The slaughter continues

With support of the European Legal Support Center a criminal complaint against Johann Wadephul was filed at the Office of the Federal Prosecutor in Karlsruhe for aiding and abetting acts of genocide. The Federal Prosecutor must respect the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide and initiate investigations on potential crimes if sufficient grounds for suspicion are apparent. In over 100 pages long criminal complaint the lawyers provide extensive evidence for the predicate crimes under the Code of Crimes against International Law (CCAIL) namely the crime of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes committed by Israel. Furthermore, the complaint provides extensive evidence for aiding and abetting acts of genocide by German officials through the approval of arms deliveries. READ MORE: elsc.support/the-time-for-a…

Die aktuelle moralische Panik um die 'neue autoritäre Linke' ist vor allem ein weiterer Ausdruck der gegenwärtigen Faschisierung. nothing more, nothing less.

Election after election exit polls show that those who consider their economic security as poor vote for the neo-fascist AfD. We need an antifascist economic policy instead of a revival of 90s style neoliberalism. This has become only more urgent in face of the energy crisis.

To recap: I was sanctioned for pro-Palestine reporting, including documenting the repression of activists in Germany + the EU. The @EUCouncil labeled this as "undermining" & "threatening" EU stability, and used this to falsely frame my work within Russian disinformation efforts.

Wish I could be in Oxford for this.

I have said this for years: homosexuality is not foreign to Africa—homophobia is. Efforts to fund and export intolerance into our societies, endangering LGBTQ Africans, are largely supported by the West.

German FM Johann Wadephul basically admits it: international law is selective. Rules for some — none for Iran. The same people preaching the “rules-based order” are dismantling it when it stops serving them. @GermanyDiplo

Pro-Palestinian German activist Yasemin Acar told Al Jazeera about what she says was harassment at a Berlin airport where she recorded a border guard asking about her destination because of concerns over "hostility towards Israel."

Völlig normal, dass die Polizeipräsidentin von @polizeiberlin von Berlin an einem Event einer evangelikalen Sekte teilnimmt, die sich für völkerrechtswidrigen Landraub im Westjordanland einsetzt. Liebe Berliner*innen, wählt bitte endlich @cduberlin und @spdberlin ab!
