Er moest me wat van het hart. Doe je mee? 1/2

Ukrinform: Former NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg, speaking at the WEF in Davos, emphasised that Ukraine’s best security guarantee is NATO membership under Article 5 of the Washington Treaty. However, if NATO hesitates, Ukraine should be armed "to the teeth" to defend itself and deter russia.

In today’s thread, I’ll break down why the West, from a purely pragmatic standpoint, cannot afford to let the Republic of Georgia 🇬🇪 slip into the hands of Russia, China, and Iran.🧵The stakes are high, and here’s why. 1/11

Elon Musk's and X's Role in 2024 Election Interference, a letter from an alleged X whistleblower. "What started as US election interference has now spread to other countries. We're currently doing the same thing in Germany and other European nations." theconcernedbird.substack.com/p/elon-musks...

Speaking at a European Defense Agency meeting on Jan. 22, EU's chief diplomat Kaja Kallas stressed that the bloc must act decisively to counter Russia's growing militarization. "We are running out of time. The Ukrainians are fighting for their freedom and ours. They are buying us time."

When Adolf Hitler came to power he released his imprisoned supporters from jail, ripped up labour laws protecting workers and crushed social security programmes in return for tax cuts for the rich... See any similarities?

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

🟥 The CEO of independent media outlets Batumelebi & Netgazeti has been refusing food in prison in protest. 🔴 Her lawyers and Batumelebi's editor-in-chief held a press conference, calling the case politically motivated and her detention unlawful. #GeorgiaProtests #ReporessionInGeorgia

🇷🇺🇦🇿“It is evident that our plane was hit accidentally, not as part of any deliberate act of terrorism. Acknowledging responsibility, apologizing to Azerbaijan,and informing the public were necessary steps. Unfortunately, in the first three days, we only heard absurd claims from Russia.” -Ilham Aliyev

1/ 🧵Col. Irakli Shaishmelashvili, former head of the Operational Planning Division in the Special Tasks Department, spoke to TV Pirveli about his decision to resign and the violent dispersal of protests. By the time the interview aired, he had already left Georgia with his family.

Brilliant strategy, of course, to push India further towards the West over some deserted areas where people, to the extent present, don't like you. Indeed it would not make sense to try and benefit from a developing Indian economy, for example. Xi is as brilliant as @darthputinkgb.bsky.social.

Masking isn’t an identity - it’s a survival performance. For many autistic humans, it stems from trauma - navigating a world that punishes difference. Let’s focus on building spaces where safety allows us to unmask and heal, moving from survival to authentic connection, so we can all unmask.

Disputed president Mikheil Kavelashvili has been sworn in as Georgia’s sixth president at parliament, while self-declared interim president Salome Zourabichvili addressed crowds outside her palace before vacating it, calling the inauguration a ‘parody’. oc-media.org/kavelashvili...

Zoiets wat nu in #Georgië gaande is, moet voor alle democratische partijen in Europa en elders 'n fikse waarschuwing zijn. Het kan overal gebeuren kijkend naar de populariteit van die Patriottenpartij van Orbán/Wilders.... Daarom steun aan de échte president #Zoerabisjvili! Zij toont gelukkig moed.

🇦🇿✈️ The plane that crashed in Aktau was damaged "as a result of shelling from the ground," — Azerbaijani President Aliyev ‼️"The plane was damaged from outside on Russian territory, near Grozny, and practically lost control. Our plane was rendered uncontrollable by EW," he said

Preparations are underway in Parliament for Mikheil Kavelashvili's inauguration. Meanwhile, dozens of people have gathered outside the Orbeliani Palace, where Salome Zourabichvili is present.

Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who agrees that it's time for EVERYONE to wake up to the hard, cold truth that the richest man on the planet does NOT give a fuck about us, he only cares about himself. Stop falling for his bullshit.

Even a system that calls itself a democracy can become an oligarchy if power becomes concentrated in the hands of a few very wealthy people.

🇦🇿🚫🇷🇺 "Admitting one's guilt, offering a timely apology to Azerbaijan - these were the measures and steps that needed to be taken. Unfortunately, for the first three days we heard nothing from Russia except delirious versions (!)," — Aliyev

"Legislation can neither be wise nor just which seeks the welfare of a single interest at the expense and to the injury of many and varied interests." -- Andrew Johnson, born #OTD 1808

This is is my friend Keti in the red jacket. She was dragged and arrested for no reason whatsoever, she was just standing on Rustaveli and not even blocking the road or anything. #terrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

❗️The 🇷🇺Russian Federation wanted to cover up the issue of the downed plane, - President of 🇦🇿Azerbaijan Aliyev.

@Zourabichvili_S: “I will come out from here [Orbeliani Presidential Palace], come to you, and be with you.”

A short while ago, the regime police just attacked people for no reason at Rustaveli Avenue. Likely, because there were few people passing by at that particular moment, they wanted to demonstrate some muscles. ~5 were arrested. #GeorgiaProtests #terrorinGeorgia 📷 @jezko.bsky.social

EU / member states, are you listening? ⬇️

"Liberalism is trust of the people tempered by prudence. Conservatism is distrust of the people tempered by fear." -- William E. Gladstone, born #OTD 1809

Today, Salome Zourabichvili is wearing the same outfit she wore at her own inauguration. 2024—2018
