As I learned from @portnikov.bsky.social, Hungary is still stuck in 19th century, governed by fear of russian intervention and desire to rule and oppress neighbouring peoples.

Timely reminder that Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic negotiated an opt-out from the €90 billion loan.

Article 327 says that countries excluded from enhanced cooperation "shall not impede its implementation" by those included.

Have you heard these stories? Why the challenges of colonialism and sexism are so similar.

Eher zufΓ€llig habe ich am Wochenende einen Text geschrieben, der auch zum #InternationalenFrauentag gestern passt: "Have you heard these stories? "Why the challenges of colonialism and sexism are so similar."

Hintergrund war eine Ausschreibung der Uni Bochum, die Ukrainer:innen benachteiligt.

Instead of a thousand words.

This is Kyiv's central square. Each flag represents a fallen Defender who protected Ukraine and Europe from Russia.

Eternal memory and eternal glory to Ukrainian Heroes.

New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Dear NEH Grantee,
This letter provides notice that the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is terminating your federal grant (Grant Application No. FEL29509824) effective April 3, 2025, in accordance with the termination clause in your Grant Agreement.
Your grant no longer effectuates the agency's needs and priorities and conditions of the Grant
Agreement and is subject to termination due to several reasonable causes, as outlined in 2CFRΒ§200.340.
For instance, NEH has reasonable cause to terminate your grant in light of the fact that the NEH is repurposing its funding allocations in a new direction in furtherance of the President's agenda. The President's February 19, 2025 executive order mandates that the NEH eliminate all non-statutorily required activities and functions. See Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy, E.O. 14217 (Feb. 19, 2025). Your grant's immediate termination is necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government, including its fiscal priorities. Any objections or appeals to this termination will be managed in strict accordance with the President's Executive Orders,

Last year, this guy (left) from DOGE used ChatGPT to find NEH grants that were too β€œDEI” for Trump, and canceled them, including mine, as shown by the letter I received last April (right). Huge new NYT article on the back story link below

The death toll in Kharkiv has risen to 10.

Lives are being shattered. Homes wiped out. A family can laugh over dinner and never wake up the next morning because of a russian missile or drone.

Impunity always returns with more violence. russia supporters have our blood on their hands too.
