The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

One of the common arguments from so called "gender criticals", transphobes, is "what rights are trans people losing". The answer is so many. Just today we have seen in practice that trans people are being excluded from healthcare., to add to public spaces, education etc. It all costs lives.

The EHRC chair either does not understand the principle of rights, or has decided to gaslight trans individuals while stripping those rights. The EHCR code undermines, and, arguably in several ways, outright violates rights for trans individuals, including Articles 8, 11, and 14 of the ECHR. 1/

Zelensky questioned Trump’s diesel deal with Russia: “Why didn’t America make a diesel supply deal with Ukraine? We decide whether fuel tankers move. We decide whether Russian oil refineries will operate.” He argued Russia’s proposed volumes are too small to move global prices. #Ukraine

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

Maybe the most amazing aspect of the Russo-Ukraine War is that Russia is getting backing from both China and the USA, the two largest powers of the moment--and Ukraine could still emerge triumphant as long as Europe backs it stoutly.

Montenegro's PM Milojko Spajić confirmed the detention of Russian propagandist Zvinchuk, aka Rybar, saying "institutions are doing their job, Montenegro is protecting its interests, and no one will be able to threaten our European future."

I hope one day Belarus will be free too. They protested in overwhelming numbers against the stolen elections, they've sabotaged railways, they've joined Ukrainian units too. If not for Russian tanks Lukashenko would have been ousted aeons ago. I hope one day, two birds one stone...

Ukraine’s interior minister says nearly 4 tons of aid were delivered to occupied Oleshky for the second time. National Guard drone crews brought food, medicine, and children’s kits, with marines and border guards involved. A Perun UAV team also evacuated six animals.

Overnight Ukrainian forces used drones to deliver food to occupied Oleshky, 4,000 kg to 100 drop points. About 2,000 Ukrainians, nearly 50 kids, are still there without normal access to food, water, or electricity. Occupiers shoot down, seize, or resell the supplies, but some still get through.
