Now, after the russian missile strike on Western Ukraine, the city of Ternopil, a residential building... it's just fucked up! Well, how are we to live next to these sick in the entire head russian bastards?!?

"Es war nicht eine kleine Zahl von Verbrechern, es waren Hunderttausende einer sogenannten deutschen Elite, Männer, Jungen & entmenschte Weiber, die unter dem Einfluss verrückter Lehren in kranker Lust diese Taten begangen haben." Thomas Mann 9. November 1938

De @vvdonline.bsky.social heeft de mond vol van vrouwenrechten en opkomen voor femicide, maar stuurt doodleuk vrouwen terug naar de Taliban. Hoe hypocriet wil je het hebben? Spoedkamervragen zijn in de maak. Dit gaat om mensenlevens. www.trouw.nl/binnenland/k...

In verband met de grote maatschappelijke behoefte aan een #elfstedentocht stelt het kabinet voor dat water voortaan bij tien graden bevriest. Invoering nog onzeker #politiek.

The war will continue to rise in intensity and spread geographically until the West gives democratic Ukraine enough military, economic and political support to be able to defeat fascist Russia.

OTD in 2015 Russia began bombing Syria. -we denied we'd do it -we then did it -we bombed lots of hospitals, shopping centers & schools to create refugees -we said it would be WW3 if NATO got involved -when NATO helped throw us out we just ran away Sound familiar?

That just went from Trump trying to trick Zelenskyy into getting ambushed again to Zelenskyy showing up with the entire squad instead. Assembled them faster than the Avengers.

Donetsk is Ukraine - and we’re not giving it up ⚔️⚔️⚔️

🇱🇻🇱🇹🇪🇪🇺🇦 The leaders of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia have warned that their countries could become Putin's next target, and have strongly condemned any attempts to pressure Ukraine to cede territory, — FT

What do you think? 👀

Excellent overview of the region that’s likely the next target of Putin’s murderous imperialism - and of nations that offer some inspiration and hope for confronting it. Well written and widely sourced, it’s sympathetic to the cause but presents the nuances and doubts fairly. #books

Charkiv zojuist weer aangevallen op klaarlichte dag. Aanval met zware bommen.

🇺🇦🇬🇧 Oleksandr Usyk together with Sir Richard Branson presented the recreated mosaic “Boryviter” in London.

🇱🇻🇺🇦 Zelensky: I met with PM of Latvia. We discussed defense support, financing through European instruments, drones, European integration, and the opening of negotiating clusters. I thank Latvia for readiness to allocate even more than 0.25% of GDP to support Ukraine.

Mehr als 200 Exponate machen auf rund 800 m² #Rilke in seinen verschiedenen Handlungsrollen und sozialen Bezügen sichtbar.

The math of the air war in Ukraine is simple. Yes, air defenses are needed but there will never be enough Patriots etc. The only way to stop Putin from bombarding Ukrainian cities is by helping Kyiv strike deep inside Russia, against the Russian defense-industrial base, air and missile installations

Lees de hele post: lisaweeda.substack.com/p/ik-weet-he... want wat een ochtend om wakker te worden met gruwelijke beelden van Kyiv en Odesa. Deze afgelopen weken zijn een absolute nachtmerrie.

The result of Trump’s call with Putin.

Morning in Kyiv. No sleep. Air quality is extremely bad. City is covered in thick smoke. This is Russian terror, aimed at people who chose to stay, resist and fight.

Kyiv today.

My city after the attack

This night is over, and the morning reveals the black traces of Russia's crimes. This is the home of Ukrainians, a home in the city of Odesa. As long as Russia continues to bring destruction and death to our land, we will speak out and tell the world about it.

Aggression is a crime, and indeed the inevitable punishment of Russia for this crime is in the global interest of everyone in the world who wants a peaceful life for their people.

Es sollen knapp 40°C werden, gegen die Hitze hilft es viel zu trinken, kühle Orte aufzusuchen, regelmäßig zu lüften und für einen Ausstieg aus Kohle, Öl und Gas zu kämpfen. 🤝

Zelenskyy emphasized this is the first time Berlin has so clearly signaled its support — a historic milestone. He stressed that the war has shown: only NATO can guarantee real security for Ukraine.

Ukrainian author Victoria Amelina died on July 1, 2023 from injuries sustained during a Russian strike on the city of Kramatorsk the previous week. Her manuscript, "Looking at Women, Looking at War" remained unfinished, leading her closest friends to do what they could to see it published.

Ik zit hard te typen, want in januari wordt mijn non-fictie kinderboek 'Mooi boek over Oekraïne' verwacht bij @blauwgras.bsky.social. Het is letterlijk en figuurlijk een hele trip. Ik ontdekte meer over plekken die ik de afgelopen 11 jaar bezocht en vond allerlei nieuwe dingen die ik nog wil zien.

Ich sehe mir die Bilder der Budapest Pride an und denke, es gibt doch noch Hoffnung. Was für ein großartiges Zeichen, gerade in Ungarn, trotz Repression. Also: Weitermachen, gegen Menschenverachtung kämpfen, dem Faschismus entgegen, für Solidarität und Vielfalt.

-Russia attacked Ukraine every day Donald was president the 1st time. -Russia has attacked Ukraine every day Donald has been president 2nd time -Russia is now attacking Ukraine with twice as many missiles & drones since Biden was president

Terwijl de rest van Europa geniet van een zomers weekend, gaat in Oekraïne de Russische terreur door. 477 drones, 60 raketten. Weer een nacht vol angst, een dag vol leed. Poetin kan aan tafel, maar kiest weer te bombarderen. Onze steun aan Oekraïne mag geen moment verslappen. 🇺🇦

I had the honour of reading from Victoria Amelina’s book, recently awarded the Orwell Prize. The passage ends with these lines: ‘Your survival instincts tell you to be happy. But you don’t want to be happy; instead, you want to remain human.’ Watch the full recording here: youtu.be/oK9QlhCKq24?...

Last night at De Balie in Amsterdam, we explored the role of literature in times of indifference. There was a shared sense that art has the power to awaken empathy, but empathy alone is not enough. It must be translated into action. 1/2

Schon 1951 entsteht die erste Buchreihe: die Bibliothek Suhrkamp – inzwischen mit über 1500 Titeln ein Zuhause für die Klassiker der Moderne. Ein Buch, das zu den ersten gehörte – und wie sich das ikonische Design über die Jahrzehnte verändert hat, zeigen wir Euch hier.

A big thank you to Katalina Rohovei, the Embassy of Ukraine in the Netherlands, Haarlem4Ukraine, Haarlem Central Library, and the Ukrainian Institute for bringing it all together. If you’re nearby, I’m speaking tonight at European Literature Night in Amsterdam: eunic-netherlands.eu/2025/06/euro...

Orwell Prize van dit jaar voor het aangrijpende boek van Victoria Amelina. Dit najaar verschijnt de Nederlandse vertaling van @wordsecho.bsky.social, met voorwoord van @margaretatwood.bsky.social en nawoord van @lisaweeda.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

I am now bombing Ukraine with twice as many drones and missiles as I did when Biden was president. Today, a train full of civilians.

Venetians know something about oligarchy.

Kyiv today

The 8th body is being pulled from under the rubble of this apartment building in Kyiv. The 9th in Kyiv region tonight. Russia murdered them for being Ukrainians.

🔴 At least 7 killed in tonight’s Russian strike on Kyiv. Search and rescue operations ongoing.

There are now 8 dead from the overnight Russisn missile attack on Kyiv.

This is what we literature buffs call doublespeak.
