The radical right party that the Finnish ”moderate” right party took into coalition government as a junior partner in 2023, to form the most right wing government in Finnish history, now passed the “moderate” party in polls. WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED! yle.fi/a/74-20250396

Finns Party pulls ahead of NCP in new Yle poll
The last time the Finns Party was more popular than the NCP was at the beginning of this decade, when both were in opposition.

Heute ist #Weltfahrradtag! Schauen wir uns an, was während der geplanten Sperre vom #Steinitzsteg die laut SPÖ und NEOS beste Lösung für #RadliebeWien ist. Ein Thread zur geplanten offiziellen Umleitung über die Floridsdorfer Brücke. Wir starten von Döbling kommend auf der Donaukanalpromenade.
Abzweigung vom Donaukanal zum Steinitzsteg. Links durch eine Unterführung zum Steg, geradeaus zur Heiligenstädter Brücke.

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕
A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

• I cannot make any purchases
• I am a judge, yet treated like a criminal
• Judges, lawyers, and politicians are being intimidated
• A colleague told me my name won't be removed from the blacklist until Trump's term ends
