Every Trumpian day you wait for something to come along in which stupidity unites with immorality and inhumanity but he has outdone himself with his Gaza realtor plan, turning it into Levantine Florida emptied of Palestinians and guarded by US military.

God, please save these beautiful people! They've suffered and see so much, but their spirit is so strong and inspiring! They deserve life

Tomorrow is the official publication date of NO ESCAPE by @nuryturkel. Anyone interested in the future of autocracy should buy it. Turkey uses his life story, and the stories of others, to tell the recent history of the Uighur people. Every chapter is shocking.

You need to watch this immediately.

I already called upon the EU's HR/VP at the end of March to propose sanctions against Patriarch Kirill, together w/ many other MEPs.
His icon failed to give the Russian army easy conquest of Ukraine. Now Putin's altar boy cannot take his poison to the EU.

Zelensky on Biden’s request for $33 billion for Ukraine: “This is a very important step by the United States. And I am grateful to the American people and personally to President Biden for it. I hope that the Congress will quickly support this request for help to our state.”

I’ve heard that not only Hungary but also Austria and Germany are ready to pay for the Russian gas in rubles. Are they still in eurozone or in rublezone?

Bravo Pres. @EmmanuelMacron pour cette incontestable victoire. Le plus difficile commence : réconcilier la France avec elle-même.

Note to Chancellor Scholz: When your top priority is to avoid a confrontation with an aggressor, you will eventually suffer that confrontation in the worst possible terms.

Το πραξικόπημα της 21ης Απριλίου αποτελεί μια μαύρη σελίδα της ελληνικής ιστορίας που οφείλουμε να θυμόμαστε γιατί είναι διδακτική. Ιδιαίτερα, σε μια εποχή όπου οι δημοκρατίες απειλούνται από τις σύγχρονες μορφές φασισμού και ολοκληρωτισμού.

Once-in-decade event is underway in Istanbul ahead of Orthodox Easter: Sanctification of the Holy Myrrh. Prepared & blessed at Orthodox See, oil is sent to churches worldwide for confirmation rites. This is @EcuPatriarch Bartholomew’s 4th time blessing the myrrh; last was in 2012

But after WW2, nobody talked about the mass rape, thefts carried out by the Red Army. After 1991, there was no broad exploration of the crimes of communism either. Instead, the same practices were taught to a new generation of soldiers. We saw them in Chechnya, Syria, now Ukraine
