Zelenskyj setter skapet på plass. Mens Russland feierer slutten på den tyske okkupasjonen med en militærparade samtidig som de selv har okkupert et naboland med en militær invasjone, og daglige krigsforbrytelser, går Zelenskyj på gaten og tar en selfie.
Today it has been 80 years since the liberation from fascist Nazi-Germany. That's a long time, and at the same time probably many survivors of that war would have thought it would take longer for fascism to return so prominently. Let us not forget that values like everyone's equal value and dignity don't defend themselves!

Today, May 8, 2025. On May 8, 1945, let us not forget the massacre that took place in Sétif, Guelma, and Kherrata, where over 45,000 Algerians were killed.
They took to the streets to demand a free and independent Algeria, and France did not hesitate to commit these atrocities.

One of the most important recent texts for me - by Masha Gessen. Held in honour of Hannah Arendt. Both Jewish, both defying categorisation. Today, more than ever, read this text. I say this as an anthropologist who knows how difficult comparisons are. #8May #May8 www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...
