"Problem im Stadtbild"

Perfectly captures the hypocrisy of most "leaders" of the Global North. #Gaza #FreePalestine #Israel #illustration

It seems only the Marinette is still sailing toward #Gaza. All other boats have already been—or are assumed to have been—illegally intercepted by Israeli forces, sanctimoniously claiming that it's the brave people of the #FreedomFlotilla, not them, who are breaking international law.

Despite numerous illegal interceptions by the Israeli forces, it now appears that one of the vessels of the #FreedomFlotilla, the Mikeno, is less than 10 nautical miles (less than 20 km) away from the coast of Gaza, according to the official tracker. #FreePalestine #Gaza #SumudFlotilla

The primary concern of #Germany's so-called "ban" on weapons used in #Gaza isn't Palestinian life, but the preservation of Germany's self-image, so that its elite can continue a neo-colonial project in partnership with Zionism, writes Majed Abusalama.

An entire news crew working for Al Jazeera was killed by Israel as they sought to bring the world firsthand reporting from #Gaza. Among them was prominent journalist Anas Al-Sharif, who had been previously smeared and threatened by the IDF. #NotATarget Full statement: cpj.org/2025/08/isra...

#Korea is considered relatively safe, with gun violence rare and violent crimes in public spaces uncommon. However, violence against women is widespread and on the rise, yet authorities remain indifferent, writes @hawonjung.bsky.social. www.koreatimes.co.kr/opinion/colu... #VAW #femicide

#Korea: Employer fined 3m won (~$2,200) over abuse of Sri Lankan employee at brick manufacturing plant. Inspection found 12 labor law violations, incl. unpaid wages totaling 29m won. Accused worker faces up to 5 years in prison or a fine of up to 50m won. www.koreaherald.com/article/1055...

Couldn't have said it better: Cars and trucks are unpredictable around motorcycles, and riding somewhat faster carries less risk than staying in someone's blind spot or going slower than other traffic. #motorcycle #motorbike #traffic

Over the years, I've been surprised a few times when I learned that people who, unlike Haya Adam, didn't quite strike me as the kind were in fact graduates from my alma mater. Looks like #SOAS either changed a lot or—more likely—I never saw it for what it is. www.middleeasteye.net/news/soas-ex...

May the best player win, but I turned off the sound now. The audience is insufferable. There is a way to support your local heroine without being disrespectful to the opponent. #MontrealOpen #AllezNaomi #AllezVicky #tennis

It's sad that historical truths are being ignored in America. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

I was rooting for Vicky Mboko, simply because it's nice to see a young local heroine win against a higher-ranked opponent, but the audience's unsporting cheering for every mishit of Rybakina kinda wanna make me see her win now, not that it's the fault of Mboko who plays great. #MontrealOpen #tennis

"Maja symbolizes the increasing attacks on freedom and #humanrights today. Whoever stands for Maja also stands for democracy and the rule of law while simultaneously standing against authoritarian and fascist tendencies." – Wolfram Jarosch, father of Maja T. romea.cz/en/world/exc... #FreeMaja

A nonsensical false equivalence considering Gaza is the one under occupation.

There are ways to show solidarity with Palestinians (donate to gazasoupkitchen.bsky.social); express disgust at govts. and institutions enabling Israel's genocide (join protests; support @bdsmovement.bsky.social); and critiquing Emily Damari's statements without verbally abusing a traumatized woman.

Palestinian Odeh Hadalin was from Masafer Yatta, a community whose resistance to settlers was featured in No Other Land.

The world would be better off with Ehud Olmert as the Israeli Prime Minister. “Israel was already committing war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank, Olmert said, and construction of the camp would mark an escalation. It is a concentration camp.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

1/2 On a day on which the country's Constitutional Court justices demonstrated the strength of #Korea's democracy, I particularly enjoyed the interpreter's slip of the tongue at the key moment: "President Park Geun.. er.. Yoon Sukyeol is hereby removed from office." www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEl3...

#Korea's Constitutional Court voted 8-0 in favor of removing #YoonSukYeol from office, and much credit goes to young Korean #women who led the protests after Yoon's botched martial law declaration. Still a good ready by @allyjunge.bsky.social for @thenation.com: www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Chief justice really thoroughly reading the finding that Yoon undermined democracy and ignored the constitution, and that the lawmakers were only able to overturn his decree because members of the public stood up for democracy

Chief justice reading the findings - says the legal basis for martial law was lacking, and that the proper procedures were not followed. He says Yoon's explanation of a "warning" martial law does not fit the legal requirement of a national emergency that necessitates martial law.

Arirang News is providing an English language livestream of the Constitutional Court's impeachment ruling. www.youtube.com/live/yEl3VCr... #Korea #politics #YoonSukYeol

Yoon faces 5 allegations. If even one of them is proved to be a “grave violation” of the constitution, he will be removed. The 5 allegations: (short thread)

Less than 2 hours to go until #Korea's Constitutional Court will deliver its ruling on whether to dismiss or reinstate Yoon Suk-yeol over his imposition of martial law in December. 14,000 officers from 210 riot units across Seoul are deployed. Follow @myhlee.bsky.social for updates.

Meine #Wahlunterlagen sind dann gestern doch noch angekommen — genau 50 Tage, nachdem ich sie online beantragt habe, und 10 Tage nach der Bundestagswahl — aber der Stimmzettel leidet leider an Entzugserscheinungen. /s #BTW2025 #Bundestagswahl #Auslandsdeutsche #Wahlrecht #Berlin #Reinickendorf

Bei Frage 64. konnte ich nicht mehr. 🤣 Gut, dass man sich die Lacher für mehrere Tage einteilen kann, denn sie sind bitter nötig. #551Fragen #KleineAnfrage

CDU/CSU hat mit einer absurden Kleinen Anfrage an die BuReg gezeigt, dass sie endgültig bereit ist, demokratische Prinzipien über Bord zu werfen. 551 Fragen (!) zu NGOs, die sich gegen Rechtsextremismus engagieren. Warum? Weil sie ihnen unterstellen wollen, nicht „politisch neutral“ zu sein🧵

Another sign of gender polarisation of voting behaviours among young men and women. This time Germany. 27% of young men 18-24 voted AFD while only 14% of young women have. The latter voted largely for left progressive parties. If you break this down to east men vs west women the gap will be larger.

Wir möchten das ändern und sammeln dafür jetzt Daten zu den Versandzeiten. Diese Daten können dabei helfen, strukturelle Probleme zu identifizieren und den Verantwortlichen Druck zu machen: www.auslandswahl.de/umfrage

Alle #Auslandsdeutsche -n sollten ihr #Wahlrecht ausüben können. Schnellere Zustellung; moderne Wahloptionen wie beispielsweise in Estland oder Frankreich; und mehr Transparenz und Kontrolle, inkl. der Möglichkeit, den Status der eigenen Wahlunterlagen online zu verfolgen. #BTW2025 #petition

Ich bin nicht der erfahrenste Autor auf der deutschen Wikipedia-Seite, aber der Versuch von Friedrich #Merz, die Proteste gegen #Rechtsextremismus nach der Ermordung von Walter #Lübcke zu verleugnen, darf nicht unkommentiert bleiben. Konstruktive Änderungsvorschläge erwünscht. #BTW2025 #wählen

„Die Linke setzt sich für mindestens eine Halbierung des Pestizideinsatzes bis 2030 ein [...] und ist dabei noch etwas ambitionierter als die Grünen. ... Das BSW fordert ‚bezahlbare Pflanzenschutzmittel‘ [und geht in seinem Programm nicht auf den Ökolandbau ein].“ #Pestizide #Umweltschutz #BTW2025

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Germany’s attempts to “remember away” its Nazi past has instead paved the way for an extremist resurgence, explains satirist @janboehm.bsky.social. www.nytimes.com/video/opinio... Sharing this is NOT an endorsement of the NYT. ➡️ @wawog.bsky.social newyorkwarcrimes.com #BTW2025 #NoAfD #history

[People with a migration background] are supposed to… look after kids care for grandma tend to wounds keep everything clean stock shelves cut hair repair cars deliver pizza pick up trash build apartments secure prosperity but they're not supposed to live here. This double standard disgusts me.
