Volt BEAT the AfD, and every vote mattered! In Darmstadt, just 1.3% of votes separated Volt from the AfD, and we came out on top! Every single vote counted to make this happen.
Bar chart showing Volt at 9.9% and AfD at 8.6% in Darmstadt. Text reads: "My vote doesn't matter in a local election." Subtext: "Thanks to just 1.3% of your votes, Volt BEAT the AfD in Darmstadt."Bar chart showing Die Linke at 10.2% and Volt at 9.9% in Darmstadt. Text reads: "My vote is just a drop in the ocean." Subtext: "And if just 0.3% more had voted for Volt, we would've beaten The Left in Darmstadt."

Scherzkeks. Tatsächlich beste Partei aktuell. (Bin aber biased.)

Twitter aka X has become unusable in recent days. The entire algorithm is pushing far-right extremists into the feeds, people fetishising mob law, glorifying nazi propaganda, and a level of hate that's unprecedented. I'm truly glad there are alternatives out there, including Threads and Bluesky.

Ich denke, ich weiß die Quelle. Eine Stadtrat-Abgeordnete aus Frankfurt hat vor ein paar Jahren dazu mal was geschrieben, wo furchtbar viel einfach ausgedacht war. Jutta Ditfurth heißt sie.

Immer wieder die gleiche Lüge. Dabei kann man das insbesondere bei Volt super easy nachverfolgen, weil keine andere Partei so transparent mit ihren Finanzen umgeht. Ich war der erste SoMe-Manager am Anfang, wie hatten nicht mal genügen Geld für Flyer-Aktionen oder digitale Werbung.

I was today years old when I learned that only a few pre-Indo-European languages are still alive today: several Caucasian languages... and Basque.

I can't even imagine, I'm sorry. But: Your children know. And your children will (most likely) have the option to choose. In that sense, I suppose this is something positive now.

Very typical for German schools to have this conversation. We had the same debate when I went to school (and we didn't have the same technology yet), and so did my mother, I bet. 😄 It truly is a difficult topic, but from the technological standpoint alone, it is amazing what humans can achieve.

Impressive. You can now screen embryos for >900 diseases and traits including cancer, heart disease, and alzheimer’s, before they’re even born. Makes me wonder about legal consequences if you purposefully choose a new human life to have a disease or short life span. mynucleus.com/embryo/press

I was today years old when I learned that the Jesus resurrection story is nowhere to be found in the original scripts? It's just people some centuries later making it up?? And most gospels agreed he just died? Christian mythology is so fascinating, yet so confusing.

Our civilisation is so close to the perfect artificially printed steak, and there are people out there who say "I only like meat if pain is involved". Insane.

310 Yes votes, 307 No votes: Friedrich Merz is the first leader of a parliamentary majority who didn’t become Chancellor after failing to reach the necessary majority of 316 votes today. Unexpected. Worrying.

🎉 Former President of the Republic of Estonia 🇪🇪 Toomas Hendrik Ilves joins Volt! 🎉 💜 Read our joint message: loom.ly/f1_LC3o @ilvestoomas.bsky.social @francescaromanadantuono.volteuropa.org @reiniervanlanschot.volteuropa.org
Toomas Hendrik Ilves joins Volt announcement photo.Portrait of Toomas Hendrik Ilves wearing glasses and a suit, looking to the side. A quote is overlaid:
"I have broken with my promise to avoid all party politics and have opted to join Volt, a party that today is still small yet to my mind stands for all of what I believe is vitally needed for Europe to make it through the multiple existential crises we face today. To join a political party means you share its values. I share the values embodied in Volt."
Text at the bottom: Image: Johannes Romppanen. Volt logo appears in the top right corner.

Purple background with white text and three green checkmarks. Title: "Why can’t we wait to start working with President Ilves?"
Bullet points:

A fervent European – he helped Estonia join the EU.

Turned Estonia into E-stonia, a global leader in digital government and society.

Lives by the values of Enlightenment: respect for fundamental rights and freedoms, the rule of law, free and fair elections.

Back in school I used to learn different countries deal with the risk of the downfall of democracy in different ways, and the USA use their checks and balances to have the Supreme Court stop the US president if necessary. Turns out the US president can just ignore courts now?

Tanzanians emphasise the 2nd syllable when mentioning their country. Tan-ZAH-Nia. I always did it like Google and various dictionaries recommend it, which isn’t correct after all.
