@arkadiusz it was ao fun to poke around with the old camera, thank you for showing me how it worked and being brave enough to even let me snap some pictures with it 😇
S.O.S. #România and its two MEPs, Diana Iovanovici-Șoșoacă and Luis Lazarus, have allied with the right-wing Alternative for #Germany ( #AfD) in the new bloc, ”The Sovereignists”.
Other members include Mi Hazánk (Our Homeland) from Hungary, an irredentist party which claims #Hungary's pre-Trianon borders, the Monarchist-Libertarian, Konfederacja from #Poland, Se Acabó la Fiesta from #Spain, NIKH from #Greece and Hnutie Republika from #Slovakia.
#Fascists all over #Europe creating a united front against our #democracy, while stupid liberals and centrist suck up to them and pushing for a disastrous military conflict with #Russia.
@faab64
Naaahhh, you got me a bit wrong there. I'm one of those "Russia is killing and plundering and raping in occupied #Ukraine and wouldn't it be great sending weapons to those people fighting really hard to push the imperialists back out?".
You're zero for three on those things you're sure of, so maybe you want to adjust your approach somehow?
"The #Ukrainian president, Volodomyr Zelenskiy, exchanged a warm embrace with a veteran at the 80th anniversary of the #DDay landings in #Normandy. The veteran kissed Zelenskiy's hand and told him 'you're the saviour of the people', to which the Ukrainian president replied 'you saved #Europe'. The anniversary of the turning point in the second world war took place while the #war rages on between #Ukraine and #Russia"
A tiny selection from recent pro-Palestinian student protests in Warsaw.
Students at several Warsaw universities loudly demand them to cut ties with Israeli institutions supporting genocide in Palestine. Since the university authorities seem not be listening despite rounds of negotiations, the occupation protest at a park near the university goes on. More universitities across the country are joining in as we speak.
For me, a noob documentary snapshotter, it's a huge lesson on activism, solidarity and principles. I've never received a lesson like this when I was their age.
🇧🇾 🇵🇱 The number of attempted illegal border crossings from #Belarus into EU-member #Poland has shot up in recent months to almost 400 a day — from only a handful a day earlier this year, Polish officials say.
#Poland is technically capable of protecting the skies over #Ukraine's western regions with its air defenses, but this requires "political will," Air Force spokesperson Illia #Yevlash said on April 29.
"Theoretically and technically, it is possible since Poland has long-range air defense systems, namely #Patriots. However, this would require political will, and this is already a topic for our diplomatic services," Yevlash said on television.
Today in Labor History April 19, 1943: The 50,000 Jews remaining in Warsaw began a desperate and heroic attempt to resist Nazi deportation to extermination camps. Their armed insurgency became known as the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. There had been over 3 million Jews living in Poland prior to the Nazi occupation. The Nazis rounded them up and forced them into crowded ghettos. The Warsaw ghetto had 250,000-300,000 Jews living in abominable conditions. Roughly this same number of Jews were slaughtered at the Treblinka concentration camp within the two months the Nazis started deporting them. The Jews managed to stockpile Molotov cocktails, hand grenades, military uniforms, and even a few pistols and some explosives. However, the resistance was crushed by the Nazis on May 16.
@RhinosWorryMe very heroic!
One participant said they knew they'd die, but they preferred to die fighting back, in their terms, than be cattle to the slaughter
