🏡 #Construction policy plays a key role in determining social cohesion in our country. Citizens and the construction industry are exhausted by rising costs and need real relief. The federal government's #ConstructionTurbo won't achieve this. We, the @gruenebundestag, will continue to fight to ensure that affordable and climate-friendly housing is no longer a luxury in our country. 💚🌻

On October 7, 1989, the first large-scale demonstration that the GDR regime could not prevent took place in Plauen. It ushered in the Peaceful Revolution and plays a pivotal role in the history of a united Germany and our democracy. Over 15,000 people took to the streets for freedom and democracy despite water cannons and threats. As a child of the fall of the Berlin Wall, I am infinitely grateful to these courageous people and bow to them with great humility – they made it possible for me to grow up in a democracy. When I was a child, my parents came to Germany as refugees, and I am glad that Plauen, with its helpful and down-to-earth people, became my home. The most important lesson of 1989 is to stand up against the enemies of democracy, always and everywhere. But German unity remains far from complete: East Germans are less likely to hold top positions and have less wealth. We can only grow together as a society if the East becomes more visible in our democracy. (Image 2 by wikswat)

@all.eyesongaza 🇵🇸🙏 A historic day. Over 100,000 people took to the streets of Berlin today to protest against the suffering in #Palestine 🇵🇸. The German government must finally recognize Palestine as a state, stop all arms deliveries to Israel, and pave the way for a two-state solution. #palestine🇵🇸 #gaza #berlin

All Eyes on Gaza ✊🇵🇸 @all.eyesongaza We must not leave the fight for human rights to the political fringes. A demonstration next Saturday is being supported by a broad civil society alliance. Many people who deliberately stayed at home two weeks ago to avoid being manipulated by Ms. Wagenknecht are now standing up for a democratic protest – and I support this protest. A humanitarian catastrophe is raging in Gaza. Tens of thousands of civilians have already been killed, and millions are displaced. International organizations are urgently warning that the situation will continue to worsen if aid remains blocked. I joined my party because I want to stand on the side of the weak – this includes the consistent fight against anti-Semitism. Above all, the visits to the Buchenwald concentration camp have had a profound impact on my political convictions. But even here, there is a tendency to remain silent about the situation in Gaza. We must not stop calling injustice injustice – otherwise we will lose credibility that we will not be able to regain for years. Humanitarian aid must reach Gaza unhindered. And Hamas must immediately release all hostages and clear the way for a political solution. Therefore, take to the streets: 🗓 Saturday, September 27, 2025 🕔 from 5:00 PM 📍 Grosser Stern, Straße des 17. Juni, Berlin 🇵🇸 #AllEyesOnGaza

🚨 LIVE on Wednesday at 8 p.m.! 🚨 She called Markus Söder a son of a bitch and now just wants to do "cool shit": I'm so excited that @jetteniz, the (still) head of the Green Youth, will be my next guest on my Twitch stream! 🎮 We'll not only test her console skills, but there will also be exciting questions about Jette's headlines, plans, and successes, which we'll discuss together. Don't miss it and join us live on my Twitch channel! I'm looking forward to seeing you! 💚

Tomorrow we'll be on the next round 🎮 @jakob_springfeld join me on my stream. We'll be on Twitch starting at 4:30 PM. You can find the link in my bio.

💚 One foot already in the upcoming budget week, my heart still in my constituency. My recent appointments in #Dresden show how this can be connected: ➡️ The Lieferando drivers' strike was about something very fundamental: fair wages, safe working conditions, and the right to co-determination. Without the drivers, our city would come to a standstill – which is why they deserve not only thanks, but above all respect and justice. 🌻 During my consultation with our city councilor @moritzknobel, we discussed the concerns and issues from the neighborhood. This direct feedback is essential to me because it shows that good politics emerges from conversation. 🏠 And the opening of the exhibition "You in the Mirror" focused on an issue that often remains invisible: homelessness. Half a million people in Germany don't have their own home – that's a scandal in a wealthy country. We must take the voices of those affected much more seriously. One thing is clear: we need more affordable housing, better support, and policies that leave no one behind. 💭 I'm taking these impressions with me to Berlin, where the #federalbudget for 2025 is finally set to be approved this week. Here, too, the question ultimately comes down to the same thing: What are we prioritizing as a society? Are we investing in social cohesion, fair work, and affordable housing? Or are we cutting costs in the wrong places? 💪🏽 I believe that politics must be made for the people who keep our cities and communities running and who are in danger of being overlooked.

✊🏽 Diversity unites – cohesion in a society drifting apart. At the ELBE 2025 Eastern Congress, I was able to participate in the panel moderated by @pegaheda, together with @helbienchen @gruene_sachsen, Britta Borrego @queeres.netzwerk.sachsen, and Quyên Vo @jugendstilprojekt, discussing how we can strengthen social cohesion in times of polarization, hate speech, and prejudice. Daniel Kubiak @kubiakda from the @dezim.institut provided academic input on the topic beforehand. 💚 One thing is clear: Diversity is not an imposition – it is a strength in our society. Especially in Saxony, there are strong alliances that counteract homophobia, racism, and exclusion – alliances in which people from different backgrounds organize themselves. 🌻 The @die_gruenen Eastern Congress also creates precisely the space for this: exchange, networking, and new perspectives – East German, all-German, in solidarity. #ELBE2025 #DiversityAllied #EasternCongress #Solidarity
