Selbst der Queer-Beauftragte des Berliner Senats rantet gegen den Koalitionsvertrag. Das muss man erstmal hinkriegen, well done everyone.

Der #Koalitionsvertrag ist ein menschenrechtliches Armutszeugnis:
👉bedient rassistische Feindbilder
👉instrumentalisiert das Aufenthalts& Migrationsrecht
👉bläht die Überwachung auf
👉greift die Zivilgesellschaft an👇

Poland and the Baltics want landmines back. Finland just joined them. This isn’t strategy — it’s security theatre. And the ones who’ll pay for it? Their own civilians. @minefreeworld @MineBanTreaty @ICRC open.substack.com/pub/spoile…

Die Verteidigungs"debatte" in Deutschland bleibt strategielos. Man zäumt das Pferd von hinten auf und klopft sich auf die Schultern. Anstatt nach politischen Visionen zu fragen und daraufhin Analysen und Pläne zu entwickeln, ergeht man sich im arithmetischen Wettbewerb. 1/7

#Kazakh youth are driving #nuclear disarmament efforts, joining #UN talks in New York to push for nuclear justice. As the world marks 80 years since the first atomic bomb, the message is clear: end nuclear weapons before it’s too late. @uninkazakhstan @UN_Disarmament @nuclearban

🎉 Today, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons turns 55!
As former UN Secretary-General U Thant explained in 1970, the #NPT calls on parties to work toward ending the nuclear arms race.
Let’s end the nuclear threat before it ends us.

The NPT turns 55 today. Adopting the TPNW would be a good way to help the NPT avoid a mid-life crisis! @nuclearban @ican_australia @NukeDaveSweeney #3MSP #TPNW @jonletman @nuclearban_jp @CNDuk
#5March is the anniversary of the entry into force of the #NPT. Check out our 2017 "Looking Back at the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty" interview with Lawrence Weiler, who was one of the original U.S. negotiators of the treaty. ow.ly/EHAP50Vb79s

Mit 551 Fragen setzt die Union gemeinnützige NGOs unter Druck. »Diese Fragenkanonade gegen unliebsame Organisationen ist übergriffig«, sagt @sven_giegold und vermutet einen »Einschüchterungsversuch«. @derspiegel spiegel.de/politik/deutschla…

One section of NatSec bros is now arguing for elimination of the air-launched nuclear deterrent. Another section is arguing for elimination of ICBMs. It’s all just proof that the nuclear triad and strategic deterrence rests on really flimsy foundations. Nukes is a religion

"Today violations that were once considered abhorrent have disturbingly become normalised in conflicts around the world.", Mirjana Spoljaric, ICRC President, at the 58th session of the Human Rights Council.
Read full speech 👉🏽 ms.spr.ly/6010UfKIK
ALT Today violations that were once considered abhorrent have disturbingly become normalised in conflicts around the world. I stand before you to remind us of an undeniable truth: Every patient killed in a hospital bed Every family buried under the rubble of their home Every hostage stolen from their loved ones Every prisoner tortured and deprived of basic dignity, Every city levelled, and every village destroyed, These are not unfortunate realities of war: They are a betrayal. We must not become numb to that fact, or we risk sleepwalking into a world where the barriers that once restrained brutality in war are removed.”

Glad this post was published. I am happy I was eventually able to share my work in Germany, despite the pressure, intimidation, and mafia-style tactics surrounding my visit. The scale and speed of repression of fundamental freedoms (surrounding Palestine), alongside the resurgence of unchecked racism, are truly alarming. And more despicable than censorship, is the widespread self-censorship.

I thought that Europe has nukes already. Like, the UK and France. They don't seem to do Europe any good.

Thanks to the #TlatelolcoTreaty, 600 million people in Latin America and the Caribbean have the privilege of living in a nuclear-weapon-free zone.
I am one of them—and for that, I am truly grateful!
Te quiero, #TratadoDeTlatelolco ❤️
