RT @KirstenKappert: Legaler, kontrollierter Cannabisanbau in Californien in gut gesicherten Gewächshäusern. Hohe Qualitätsstandards, pestizidfrei, klar deklarierte Inhaltsstoffe, energieeffizienter und nachhaltiger Anbau. Sehr überzeugend. #legalize #cannabis

RT @ojala_annika: Last night, I found that my hotel room had been broken into.

I had to make the choice of staying there, afraid of falling asleep, or going to the city at night, where members of my community had just been violently attacked.

These are #LGBTI realities in 2022.

RT @JHahnEU: Therefore, the @EU_Commission proposes a suspension of 65% of the commitments for 3 operational programmes f. #Hungary under cohesion policy, amounting to an estimated EUR 7.5 bn.

In addition the prohibition to enter into legal commitments w/ the public interest trusts. 2/3

RT @HNeumannMEP: 1 year of school ban for girls in #Afghanistan.
1 year full of lost hopes and potential.
1 year of tears and worry.
1 year of false promises.
1 year lost for Afghanistan.

No, we will not look away, we will not forget.

RT @daniel_freund: ‼️BREAKING‼️

EU-Commission proposes cutting 7.5 billion Euros (!) in EU funding for Hungary due to breaches of the rule of law.

Case will now be forwarded to the Council.

🐦🔗: https://nitter.eu/TerryReintke/status/1571430961081978881

Suspending 7,5 billion Euros of EU money to Hungary.

This is huge - and overdue.

Finally, the Commission reacts to the corrupt system of Orbán.

No European money should go to governments that do not respect #RuleOfLaw.

Now the Council must deliver.

RT @LydsG: Incidents of violence against #lgbt activists reported at #EuroPride2022 in #Belgrade #Serbia. I spoke to one activist who was part of a group of 7 attacked by 10 hooligans after leaving Pride. Incident reported to police. Authorities should investigate w/o delay

So I want to end by thanking everyone who made this @EuroPride possible.

The organisers.

The activists.

The civil society.

All the people who came.

All the people who supported from afar. Who tweeted. Who wrote letters. Who signed petitions.

THANK YOU 🌈✨💕

Sometimes I think to myself:

The world does not deserve this community.

The resilience. The strength. The absolute will to make things better. But also the kindness and omnipresent love are breathtaking.

I LOVE YOU, BABES.

💗✨💕💖🌈😘💪🏼

They show signs with political demands - even when what we are asking for should be self-evident.

They sing. They dance. They smile - even when religious fanatics are chanting their vile hatred at us.

And finally:

What does this community do?

Thousands of activists in cold pouring rain yesterday.

After years of being marginalised, traumatised, silenced.

They march - even though the route was considerably shortened.

They discuss - even when they are being humiliated.

They attack us.

But what they are really aiming at are our democratic institutions, separation of powers, press freedom.

So watch out. And stand with us.

Because we are defending more than ourselves here.

The anti-LGBTI* legislation in Hungary goes against our community, but at the core it is about freedom of speech.

The Far Right authoritarian movements talk about “traditional values” against “rainbow ideology”.

When this is actually about autocracy against democratic values.

Eventually, this is not only about our rights.

This is a battle for democracy.

Yesterday in Belgrade, we did not negotiate about same-sex marriage (however important the demand for it is).

We were faced with an attack on the fundamental right to peacefully assemble.

You could say: Ah well, then these minorities will have to suffer a bit, who cares?

You.

At least you should. Because the bullshit they throw at us will affect you in the end.

And that leads me to my main point.

And when the crises will hit harder (and they will) and political solutions to growing problems will be more tricky to find, this will get worse.

Suddenly, some people will tell you that stuff is difficult because of trans rights or some other “wokist nonsense”.
