Das Parteienverbot steht nicht ohne Grund im Grundgesetz. Daraus erwächst uns allen ein Auftrag: Es anzuwenden, wenn und wo es geboten ist. Das Gutachten der GFF bestätigt eindrücklich: Die AfD ist eine gefährliche Partei. (1/6)
Ein europäischer Held.
Er kannte das Wunder der Zivilisation. Er wusste: man muss es verteidigen. Er verlor sein Leben im Kampf gegen dessen Feinde.

Kurzer 🧵 zur AfD
1. Die AfD ist heute eine „Höcke-AfD“. Eine Höcke-AfD aber ist verfassungswidrig. Sie darf keine Kontrolle über deutsche Bürger oder die Polizei bekommen, nicht in Berlin und auch nicht in Erfurt.
Darum geht es in diesem Sommer der Entscheidung, am 10 Juli in Berlin.
Wichtiger Bericht warum es auf diesen Sommer und mutige Demokraten in Deutschland ankommt, um die AfD zu bekämpfen. Ein konkreter Vorschlag.
Gerne in eurem Netzwerk teilen!
WIE verteidigen wir das europäische Wunder?
Vier Präsentationen in 24 Stunden in Hamburg und Lübeck. Darunter im
Gymnasium Süderelbe und im Marion-Dönhoff-Gymnasium.

1. Die AfD ist “demokratieschädlich, antisemitisch und völkisch” (@cducsubt@CDU@CSU) und deswegen braucht es eine Brandmauer. Einerseits.
2. Andererseits: fürchtet man den dann gebotenen Schritt zu dem Organ, das reagieren kann: das Bundesverfassungsgericht?
Das riecht nach Schwäche. Und wenn Wähler in turbulenten Zeiten etwas suchen, dann kluge Stärke.
Mut. Kein Verstecken.
Denn es geht um die Demokratie und die Zukunft des demokratischen Europas.

This is not a movie about meteor showers before the apocalypse; this is Russia bombing Kyiv last night. A city with several million people in it - children, the elderly, and normal families just like yours.
Last night Russia attacked seventy-seven places in Ukraine with more than six hundred drones and missiles. You can help protect Ukrainian life by donating here.

The moment of one of today’s Russian strikes on Kyiv.
I can see that fewer and fewer people are reading news from Ukraine. I understand that on a Sunday morning, people don’t want to read about war. They want to sleep a little longer, drink good coffee, and sit in the sun. I understand that. The algorithms on X limit content about war, destruction, and suffering. You have to make an effort to even see this information.
All of this is understandable on a human level. But unfortunately, if you remove Putin and the war from your information feed, they do not disappear from reality.
Putin is a sadist and a maniac. He is a threat to all of humanity.
There needs to be active resistance. News from Ukraine needs to be shared. People need to keep their focus.
Despite a sleepless night, I’m still here. And I’m grateful to everyone who continues to stand with us.
One day, we’ll drink morning coffee together in a beautiful, peaceful Kyiv.
Ukraine allows Putin’s May 9 parade to go ahead after Trump’s intervention and a promise to exchange 1,000 Ukrainian POWs. No prisoners have been freed, and Putin after his parade unleashed one of the biggest missile and drone barrages of the war. Here is a Kyiv high-rise where dozens were killed and injured last night, including children, and many more still remain under the rubble.
Kyiv drew its own long-range map — and threw it on the table. A great achievement for Ukraine. A lesson for others.
For years, Ukraine asked its partners for long-range weapons to strike deep inside Russia.
Guided by escalation concerns, some refused outright (Germany and Taurus); some provided them only in very limited quantities and long barred strikes against targets inside Russia (the US and ATACMS); while others agreed but supplied them in limited batches and imposed restrictions on their employment (the UK with Storm Shadow and France with SCALP).
It was a hard fight with friends.
Meanwhile, Ukraine did not sit still. It spent these years developing its own capabilities. Today, Kyiv produces enough long-range drones and missiles of sufficient quality to strike Russia regularly and deep behind the front lines.
This is not a turning point in the war. But it is a qualitatively new instrument of pressure on Putin at a time when Trump is unwilling to bear down on him and Europeans lack the ability to do so.
Most importantly, it is a powerful example of how a nation builds its own capabilities and reduces critical dependence on partners.
For Estonia, freedom came not in 1945, but in 1991.
Today marks the end of World War II in Europe. We honor the millions who sacrificed their lives to defeat Nazism and remember the immense suffering caused by both totalitarian regimes that devastated the continent.
But for Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, and much of Eastern Europe, May 1945 did not bring freedom. It marked the continuation of Soviet occupation, repression, deportations, censorship, and the destruction of national sovereignty for decades to come.
Remembering history truthfully is not revisionism. Erasing occupation and calling it liberation is.
Today, the Kremlin continues to weaponize WWII history to justify imperialism and aggression, especially against Ukraine, while ignoring the crimes committed under Soviet occupation.
