Starmer calls immigration policy over the past years a 'squalid' period. What a choice of language.

You are a "citizen of nowhere", they said. A "queue-jumper", they said. Now I am a "squalid chapter", they say. A risk as I might make this an "island of strangers", they say. I am "pulling the country apart", they say.

Armut ist und bleibt Faktor Nr. 1 für Bildungsungerechtigkeit in Deutschland. Schade, dass die neue ARD Doku #Versetzungsgefährdet relativ wenig differenziert zwischen Bildung, Wissen und Intelligenz. www.ardmediathek.de/video/story/...

Waarom staken we? In het kort: Het kabinet-Schoof brengt de toekomst van Nederland in gevaar. Door de bezuinigingen moet belangrijk wetenschappelijk onderzoek stoppen –onderzoek dat hard nodig om urgente maatschappelijke problemen op te lossen. Dit kunnen we niet laten gebeuren. #DoeHetNiet.

The #FederalElection 2025 in Germany shows a strong left-right polarisation among young people, under increasing consideration of smaller parties. #Bundestagswahl2025 www.tagesschau.de/wahl/archiv/...

Die Sprache ist ja gerne von "diesen jungen Leuten". Ein kurzer 🧵 zum Wahlverhalten nach Altersgruppen und meine Einschätzung zur Veränderung seit 2021. Wieder einmal zeigt sich, dass junge Menschen zwar volatiler wählen als andere Altersgruppen, vor allem aber eine sehr heterogene Gruppe sind!

Und Auswärtiges Amt so: tja, Pech gehabt. (auch wenn es - sehr spät - einen behördeninternen Kurierdienst eingerichtet hat) Ist ja auch nur durch das Grundgesetz geschütztes BürgerRECHT 😶‍🌫️ #Bundestagswahl2025 #Briefwahl #Ausland

Verantwortungsumkehr: Anträge, von denen Teile rechtlich kaum eine Chance haben, sollen "egal mit welcher Partei" durchgebracht werden. Dann sollen alle demokratischen Parteien zustimmen, da sonst die Rechtsextremen den Ausschlag geben. Wir brauchen Bündnisse, nicht Erpressung.

The two-child limit remains in place, and its impact will continue to grow as the policy affects an increasing number of children as time goes on. We estimate that an additional 63,000 children will become affected by the policy between now and April 2025.
