Auf dem Video sehen wir den mutmaßlichen Einsatz einer illegallen Schallkanone gegen die Demonstrierenden in Belgrad. Oder wie die Regierung es nennt, der "Was für eine Schallkanone, da istnichts passiert" Moment.

It isn’t just #SerbiaProtests today. People are taking to the streets across Europe to make their voice heard.

These were the scenes TODAY in:

Countries & capitals united against Russia and in support of Europe.🇪🇺

#GeorgiaProtests

Budapest today. People are demanding that PM Orban resign.

So thankful for my Austrian, Czech, German, & Ukrainian Fulbrights. Recently spent time helping evaluate Ukrainian Fulbright proposals. What kind of anti-intellectual know-nothings would put this spectacular program on hold? A plague on akk your houses until the seventh generation.

Thank you! Hopefully later this year.

Thank you Sara🙂
