The Kremlin has accused the International Olympic Committee (IOC) of “racism and neo-Nazism” over its decision to bar athletes from Russia and Belarus from participating in the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics this summer.
🇧🇾 More than two dozen Nobel prize winners have signed an open letter calling for the immediate release of political prisoners in #Belarus, an opposition activist said on Wednesday.
Putin's "landslide" is a new totalitarian milestone

#Putin's election win is a dramatic expression of a new political reality
There is no longer room for even the illusion of opposition: this is part of a project to prepare the population for war
🇩🇰 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 #AndersPuckNielsen is a military analyst and Navy Commander at the Royal Danish Defence College. He studies #Russia's military since long before the 2022 invasion
#Putin's decision to win with such big numbers (87%) is a deliberate choice to shift from an authoritian regime to a totalitarian one, from putin demanding the Russians "Let me do whatever I want" to "You'll have to do whatever I want".
The prospects are grim, the protests were minimal (even in comparison to #Belarus): #Putin is now more emboldened to expand the war.
I was born and lived most of my life in a country just like this. #TimothySnyder is the only American writer I know who truly gets it. It's not just his experience, it's also lots and lots of empathy and willingness to understand other people. Every word of this essay is true and matches my lived experience in #Belarus to a tee. Americans, don't let you country decay into that. #Vote
Die in nationalistischen Kreisen populäre und bei der AFD nunmehr gar programmatische Idee eines #DEXIT wäre der wirtschaftspolitische Irrsinn die marktbestimmende Teilhabe am größten Marktplatz der Welt aufzugeben und sich von diesem zu isolieren-ein suizidal-putinöser Gedanke für eine Exportnation

Es ist offenkundig, dass nur ein geeintes Europa auf der Weltbühne eine Rolle spielen kann. Ein einzelnes Land, egal ob Frankreich, Deutschland, Polen, England, obwohl alle historisch einmal ernst zu nehmende "Weltmächte" waren, kann das nicht mehr.
Putins Großmachtpläne über ein russisches Eurasien, ist darauf ausgelegt, in Westeuropa möglichst nur Vasallenstaaten mir #putler|treuen Regimes zu haben, welche alle die Interessen des #russischen#Zarenreich|es vertreten.
In #putin|s hybrider Kriegsführung passiert das, indem Parteien, welche gegen ein vereintes Europa arbeiten, unterstützt werden. Ebenfalls, indem autokratische #putintreue Regimes in Europa gefördert werden, wie z. B. #Ungarn#Slowakei#Serbien - #Belarus ist schon ein treuer Satellitenstaat.
Demokratische Kräfte sollten das mit offenen Augen sehen. Auch linke Kräfte. Selbst unser Kanzly erkennt den Ernst der Lage nicht.
Es ist in der Tat so, dass in der #Ukraine die #Demokratie , die Idee der Freiheit der westlichen Welt, gegen die #autokratisch|e Idee verteidigt wird.
Before his arrest, Denis worked at a furniture factory, was a fan of the soccer club “MTZ” and was very fond of reading. Lately he has been especially fond of various Belarussian classics.
He was detained in September 2020 and sentenced to 6 years in prison for allegedly participating in mass riots during post-election protests and threatening to use violence against cops.
Denis is very responsive, when his friends needed help, they could always count on him. Now Dennis needs your support!
Please consider becoming a permanent supporter of Denis. Individually or by joining a group with your mates, you can cover the costs of Denis's incarceration on a monthly basis. This will take some burden off our collective.
A new wave of disinformation hit #Poland social media, as a 33-years old driver hit a group of pedestrians in Szczecin and was detained by police. Anti-Ukrainian accounts immediately started sharing claims he was an Ukrainian. After police stated he’s Polish, they started claiming he’s “holder of Polish citizenship but of Ukrainian origin”. Another account claimed that his car registration number indicated that the car was registered to a “person with Polish PESEL but without citizenship” which was so absurd, that even another popular anti-Ukrainian profile stepped in and said this is nonsense.
Notably, a few days ago another popular right-wing publicist Tomasz Sommer shared an information about a woman raped in Warszawa, unambiguously implying that the rapist was an unspecified immigrant (his followers correctly decoded it as an allusion to Ukrainians in the comments). Soon after police informed that the rapist was a Polish man with past history of sexual violence, and the victim was a #Belarus woman, who later died in hospital.
Today, we had a largish raid group of 11+ to take on an #OriginFormePalkia in - it turned out to be a good raid.
Just for fun, my strongest ditto was backing up my mega salamence who was in #1 position. Turns out that the ditto's shapeshift did not cancel out my salamance's mega form which was a happy surprise 😁
The first flight was made by a Swedish #GulfstreamS102B reconnaissance aircraft. It flew over #Poland near the borders of the #Kaliningrad region and #Belarus. The aircraft is equipped with various equipment capable of intercepting and analyzing messages and other electronic signals. #Ukraine
