@FedExEurope I’d take a breather if you actially made the deliveries you are paid to make. Thanks for nothing, @FedExEurope. Better use DPD next time.

Marcellus Williams was killed today by the state of Missouri for a crime he didn’t commit. It’s a shameful day for Missouri, and a shameful day for Governor Mike Parson, who failed in his duty to protect an innocent man from injustice.

I read Missouri Governor Mike Parson’s announcement that the execution of Marcellus Williams will go ahead, with shock and dismay. @GovParsonMO

EU countries & other governments should send a clear message to Iran that even the execution of one protestor will have severe consequences: https://t.co/Z0OlqiEIA2

[Sister Helen Prejean @helenprejean]

Death sentences are rare today. Prosecutors think twice before pursuing death and juries are skeptical. Capital defense teams are robust. Just about every execution carried out stems from a death sentence imposed decades ago. Our society’s moral conscience is evolving.

Huge respect for the many brave women who are shedding their hijabs and cutting their hair on the frontlines of public protest in Iran. The young generation taking to the street are the country’s future. Read my thoughts on Iran: https://t.co/GOVNtzq7Lw

@LordHarndred @XiranJayZhao I haven’t read the book at the centre of this thread, but the premise of the story is quite plausible. Relationships between POWs and locals were not unheard of.

[Matthias Stausberg @MStausberg]

@LordHarndred @XiranJayZhao Many of these POWs, spread across the entire American heartland, were given farm work, much of it unsupervised due to the low risk of escape attempts.

Impressive speech by @bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz of Germany. New announcements mark a profound shift in German policy, and true leadership in supporting Ukraine. https://t.co/WFgljdiJty

The promise debate about #NATO enlargement is politically futile. This crisis is about #Russia’s position in Europe, its long-term #status and #power. 30 years of strategic failure, disappointments, and unintended consequences. A long🧵 1/x
