The US state of Tennessee is about to murder Christa Pike. She was just 18 — a teenager! — when she committed the crime for which she was sentenced to death. She is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and rape, and has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Another German state turns to the far right as the AfD comes out on top. These are dark and unsettling times. Perhaps the only silver lining in the West’s decline is that it creates more space for other civilizations to rise, giving them the chance to lead us toward a better future.

Nach mindestens 72 Toten fordert Europa erneut stärkeren Grenzschutz. Doch Zäune beseitigen weder globale Ungleichheit noch fehlende Zukunftschancen. Langfristig braucht es faire Handelsbeziehungen, Entwicklungszusammenarbeit und mehr legale Migrationswege.
#Ceuta - 72 Tote und Europas Ruf nach noch mehr Abschottung

Nach Ceuta geht es in Europa wieder um Grenzschutz. Mein neuer Beitrag im @migazin.de stellt die eigentliche Frage: Können wir eine Welt moralisch rechtfertigen, in der Lebenschancen weitgehend vom Zufall des Geburtsortes abhängen? www.migazin.de/2026/08/05/7...
Warum Europas Abschottung globale Ungleichheit nicht löst
Nach mindestens 72 Toten in Ceuta fordert Europa mehr Grenzschutz. Doch Abschottung beseitigt weder globale Ungleichheit noch fehlende Perspektiven.

After Ceuta, Europe is once again debating how to keep people out. My latest article argues that the real question is whether we can morally justify a world in which people's life chances are determined largely by the accident of birth.

Once again, people have lost their lives at Europe’s border, and once again, the real question remains unanswered.

Africans swam from one part of Africa to another part of Africa, and the Europeans (supposedly "former" colonizers) are up in arms, screaming about invasion. Make it make sense.

Excited to join animal advocates from across Africa and around the world at the AVA Summit in Ghana next month! The future is vegan, and it will be better for animals, people, and the planet. Let's build that future together. Every conversation, every campaign, and every meal matters.

Three months ago, the United States killed more than 150 people, most of them children, in a missile strike on a school in Minab, Iran.
As far as I can tell (and please correct me if I'm mistaken), no one has yet been publicly sanctioned, prosecuted, relieved of duty, or otherwise held accountable.

Pay attention to what’s happening in Germany. For the first time since World War II, a far-right extremist party could take power in a German state. The AfD is also leading national polls. This is not normal & not something the world should ignore. Germany is entering dangerous political territory.
