I just learned Germany considers journalists "systemically relevant" during the #COVID19 pandemic, entitling them to free emergency childcare. Meanwhile, back home, the US president considers journalists the "enemy of the people."

“I don’t want to plan a future alone, but every day I wake up, I see that a rocket hit a house in Kharkiv.” One year into the war, Ukrainians in Europe are at a crossroads about whether or not to put down roots @LenoraChu@csmonitor#Ukraine#war#Europe https://t.co/R8yrHYdMuY
« It’s similar to the US, where you had the Republican Party and some elements playing footsie with the Capitol rioters. There will be questions about links between political parties and those involved in the plots. » @LenoraChu#Germancoup@csmonitor https://t.co/jAbsS4CrTW

Shifting identities in Latvia, where a quarter of the population is ethnic Russian. By @LenoraChu 'We need to go beyond ethnic identity. One needs to be a citizen. The notion of a political nation is the only future for a multiethnic culture in Europe.' https://t.co/AjdTsKg3CB
One of the many highlights of speaking at @dalkeybookfest: listening to Bono reading a brilliant and bittersweet passage about the death of his father from his forthcoming memoir alongside Pulitzer-winning poet Paul Muldoon…on Fathers Day. Few dry eyes in the room:
German Twitter in full schadenfreude after Zelenskyy's scathing address to Germany's parliament this morning in which he essentially accused those assembled of being complicit bystanders to Russia's war through their Russian business ties, indecision, & lack of leadership.

Read this awesome piece by @LenoraChu on the German chancellor's legacy. I have to say I'll miss Merkel. Even though I don't live in Europe anymore, I still look to her - most recently feeling more at ease since she too did #mixandmatch with her vaccines! https://t.co/cJV0EXAONX
