Today I welcomed young peacebuilders from around the world to Mäntyniemi. To bring about change, we need new generations to promote peace, foster dialogue, and strengthen mutual understanding. https://t.co/ryiHk3dYAE #Peacebuilding #YouthLeadership #Dialogue #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedfromthetweet.

Θα μείνουν για πάντα χαραγμένες στη μνήμη μας οι στιγμές που ζήσαμε μαζί, από την κατάκτηση του UEFA Youth League μέχρι τις μεγάλες επιτυχίες της πρώτης ομάδας. Μεγάλωσες ποδοσφαιρικά μέσα από την Ακαδημία μας, φόρεσες την ερυθρόλευκη φανέλα και έγραψες τη δική σου ιστορία με τον Ολυμπιακό. Θα είσαι πάντα μέλος της ερυθρόλευκης οικογένειας. Σε ευχαριστούμε για όλα και σου ευχόμαστε κάθε επιτυχία στο επόμενο βήμα της καριέρας σου! Καλή τύχη, Χρήστο! 🔴⚪ The moments we shared will forever remain etched in our memories, from winning the UEFA Youth League to the great successes of the first team. You developed as a footballer through our Academy, wore the “red-and-white” jersey and wrote your own chapter in Olympiacos’ history. You will always be a member of the “red-and-white” family. Thank you for everything, and we wish you every success in the next step of your career! Good luck, Christos! 🔴⚪ #Ολυμπιακός #ποδόσφαιρο #επιτυχία

I can't agree with this. When young start cancelling stuff you don't like, how do you bemoan when you're not liked and cancelled? If you don't like it, ignore it. Maybe I'm soft but aren't we against cancel culture and for free speech? #CancelCulture #FreeSpeech #YouthVoices #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “CGAS (Clinical Gender Affirmation Scale) and related gender ideological-belief measures were strongly associated with left-wing authoritarianism” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “CGAS (Clinical Gender Affirmation Scale) was not simply standing in for being politically left-wing” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Support for coercion, punishment, and violence appears to be tied less to liberalism generally than to an authoritarian disposition organized around left-wing ideological content” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Gender ideology may function as an ideological accelerant” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Gender ideology may supply authoritarian psychology with a structured map of perceived outgroups, threat sources, and oppressor classes” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Dissent becomes not a legitimate position but a failure of professional duty or an act of harm” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “The same psychological machinery operates on the extreme left”- Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Violence can come to seem permissible or necessary” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Three findings pull in the same direction. People who strongly endorse gender ideology positions score dramatically higher on left-wing authoritarianism than their political identity alone would predict. Furthermore, both LWA (Left-Wing Authoritarianism) and CGAS (Clinical Gender Affirmation Scale) predicted support for political violence” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Together, these findings support the paper's core claim: gender ideology may function as an ideological accelerant, telling left-wing authoritarian psychology who the enemy is, why the situation is urgent, and—in those already disposed toward force—that violence is legitimate” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “One mechanism by which clinical content may translate into violence permission deserves note. Trans-Genocide Belief—the perceived likelihood that a genocide of individuals that identify as transgender is currently underway in the United States—is predicted to more strongly relate to CGAS (Clinical Gender Affirmation Scale) and LWA (Left-Wing Authoritarianism) than to political identity and to be associated with elevated justification for political violence” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “This prediction is consistent with broader research showing that perceived threat, existential threat, and collective victimhood can increase support for hardline, punitive, or exclusionary action against outgroups, particularly when paired with authoritarian dispositions or strong moral conviction (Armaly & Enders, 2022; Carriere et al., 2022; Hirschberger et al., 2016; Kljajić et al., 2025; Schori-Eyal et al., 2014; Skitka, 2010)” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Related work on moralization and violent intergroup conflict further suggests that when a political conflict is framed as a moral emergency involving dangerous or demonized outgroups, violence can come to seem permissible or necessary (Mooijman et al., 2018; Saguy & Reifen-Tagar, 2022)” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “The practical stakes are straightforward. Research frameworks for understanding authoritarianism have historically focused overwhelmingly on the political right, while analogous left-wing pathways have received far less attention. Yet federal agencies and public safety officials are concerned not only with ideology in the abstract, but with radicalization pathways: the content that tells people who to fear, why the situation is urgent, and when force becomes acceptable” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology “This study suggests that the same psychological machinery operates on the extreme left, and that it may be running through institutional channels—clinical guidelines, professional standards, credentialed expertise—that current threat-detection frameworks are not well designed to recognize” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Violence connected to gender ideology remains largely undocumented in the academic literature. This study provides a first systematic empirical look at the psychological infrastructure that makes such violence conceivable” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Both LWA (Left-Wing Authoritarianism) and CGAS (Clinical Gender Affirmation Scale) were significantly positively correlated with justification for political violence across all six targets” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Our main findings for youth starting treatment with blockers include: At baseline, about one-quarter of these youth had clinically concerning scores for depression and anxiety. About one-quarter reported having thought about suicide, and 8% reported having attempted suicide in the past. These numbers are on par with the population of middle school youth at large” - The Trans Youth Care - United States “Our main findings for youth starting treatment with GAH include: At baseline, about half of these youth had clinically concerning scores for depression and anxiety. About two-thirds reported having thought about suicide, and one-quarter reported having attempted. By two years after starting GAH, these youth showed increased scores for life satisfaction, appearance congruence (having the physical appearance of one's body match one's gender identity), positive emotions, and psychological well-being and decreased scores for depression and anxiety” - The Trans Youth Care - United States

Currently, 17, 18 and 19 year old workers can legally be paid just 70%, 80% or 90% of the minimum wage, respectively. Apprentices of any age can be paid even less than this - in their first year, only a shocking 56% of the minimum wage. It's why we introduced a bill to fix this. #MinimumWage #FairPay #YouthEmployment #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

Freerepublic: As a Greek-American, I went to see The Odyssey three weeks ago with eager anticipation. At the time, the Rotten Tomatoes scores had dropped into the 60s—significantly down from the high 90s where they started. I ended up walking out after 90 minutes. Two other couples had already bailed around the one-hour mark. Only one guy remained sitting up in high right corner of the theater. It was clearly the worst movie I have ever seen, and after 70 years of watching movies, that says a lot. My brother, who still lives in Chicago where we grew up, saw it the day before. He leans left but is a sharp, reliable judge of cinema. He thought it was downright terrible, but to his credit, he didn't say a word about it until I’d seen it for myself. I was furious and deeply disappointed. I felt like I was eight years old again and someone had just stolen my bike. I was so moved to speak out that I sat down and took the time to write a thoughtful, honest review for Rotten Tomatoes, giving it a well-deserved 1 star. I posted my piece here, too, and almost everyone in the thread agreed with me. Anyone reading my review would know I’d actually watched the film—I pointed out that the classic Sinbad the Sailor movies of my youth were far better than this snoozefest. In closing, I wrote that if I’m ever on my deathbed with only a few hours left to live, I’m going to pray to God to give me back the time I wasted on The Odyssey, including the drive to and from the theater. Now, to get to the point: the RT scores have somehow bounced right back up to the mid-90s. I went back to read the recent reviews, and they’re almost entirely one-sentence, 5-star fluff posts. And guess what? My detailed review was completely scrubbed. Has this happened to anyone else?

Almost every young person in Europe is online every day. They all deserve to be safe online. Today, together with @GlennMicallef, we launch #NotOnOurFeed, with resources and support to tackle cyberbullying and help young people stay safe online. ➡️ https://t.co/Nanh4N3qb1 https://t.co/JMxZ5SOGrJ #NotOnOurFeed #Cyberbullying #YouthSafety #EU

European Palestinian Youth Union, som tidigare stört statsministerns offentliga framträdanden, använder nu närmast stalinistiskt språkbruk och anklagar Simona Mohamsson för att vara agent för främmande krafter. Det är alltså så organisationen reagerar på att en svensk partiledare bär en davidsstjärna. #PalestinianYouth #Stalinism #Sverige

Danish teenage strikers: ☑️ Mikkel Bro Hansen (2009, Bodø/Glimt) ☑️ Chido Obi (2007, Man United) ☑️ Jacob Ambæk (2008, Brøndby) ☑️ Alfred Gøthler (2007, Leganes) ☑️ Oskar Fenger (2008, Brøndby) ☑️ Tobias Ekstrand (2010, Brøndby) Incredible depth and quality. Denmark have had some decent strikers in the 21st century, from Ebbe Sand and Jon Dahl Tomasson to Nicklas Bendtner. But this new generation could be truly special. 🇩🇰🔥 #DanishFootball #YouthTalent #SoccerStars

Custa sempre ver sair um dos nossos. Custa ainda mais ver sair um dos maiores talentos que o Olival já produziu. A verdade é que acaba por ser uma decisão positiva para todas as partes. No clube vendedor, é uma venda que do ponto de vista liquido andará muito perto do topo e possibilitará finalmente o ataque ao mercado. Do clube comprador, recebe um enorme talento pronto para espalhar magia em território italiano. Do jogador, desbloqueia uma teia difícil por cá e encontrará um treinador, sistema e contexto muito vantajoso para continuar a desenvolver o seu (muito) futebol. Muito se tem falado na critica a Farioli pela falta de variabilidade para incluir Mora e também no típico “bom treinador é o que sabe potenciar ao máximo cada jogador”. Podendo isso ser verdade, não é algo claro como se diz. Deve sim potenciar cada jogador mas, antes disso, deve priorizar o coletivo e alcançar os objetivos estabelecidos (neste caso, ser campeão). De nada vale um treinador capaz de espremer ao máximo 20 atletas se chega a maio e fica a ver navios. Aconteceu com Farioli e Mora, como aconteceu com Luis Enrique e Mbappé e outros inúmeros exemplos. Para concluir, para alguns não acharem que apenas defendo um lado, também acho que a aposta poderia ter sido ligeiramente diferente e ter sido testado mais vezes as opções alternativas como falso EXT ou falso AVA. Não aconteceu e ficará sempre a dúvida do “e se…”. Muito tranquilo em relação a este assunto pelo que tenho vindo a falar ao longo destes tempos. Desde que criei a página, Rodrigo Mora foi o jogador que mais marcou todo o conteúdo desde o 1.º tweet nos S17, na enorme Youth League 23/24, na estreia super jovem na B, explosão de magia em 24/25 e o titulo de 25/26. Ficarão para sempre as memórias do nosso mágico. 💙 Por fim, tentei sempre ao máximo evitar falar das 1001 formas de negócio que vieram a público porque, como é hábito, o Presidente não desiludiu e manteve os interesses do FC Porto sempre em 1.º lugar. Seguimos Juntos! #Futebol #Transferências #FC Porto

Rodrigo #Mora ha scelto la maglia numero 86 per la sua avventura all’#ASRoma. La stessa che ha indossato nelle ultime stagioni al PortoB e al #Porto. Eccezion fatta per la stagione 23/24 quando indossò la maglia numero 10 in Youth League. 🤝@Ale_Sbarbati @inforoma24 #ASRoma #Porto #calcio

Der in Berlin ansässige NGO-Verein Each One Teach One (EOTO) e.V., der im „Volksbad“ den Ausschluss von weissen Menschen unterstützt, bietet weitere rassistische Projekte an: - Mit dem Format „Afro-Tennis“ organisiert der Verein ein Sportprojekt, das sich gezielt an schwarze Kinder und Jugendliche richtet. - Sommerprogramm des Vereins. Dort heißt es: „Auch in diesem Jahr laden wir Black Kids herzlich zu unseren Sommerferienprogrammen ein. - Tonstudio-Session“: Dort wird ebenfalls nur die „Black Youth“ adressiert. „Lernt Musikproduktion und Audiotechnik kennen, nehmt Gesang oder Instrumente auf und genießt in künstlerischer Atmosphäre unter Schwarzen jungen Menschen die Vibes und die Musik“. EOTO wird von folgenden Stellen mit deutschen Steuergeldern unterstützt: • Bundesministerium für Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend (BMFSFJ) – vor allem über das Programm „Demokratie leben!“ (seit 2017 laufend, Strukturförderung zum bundeszentralen Träger) • Senatsverwaltung für Arbeit, Soziales, Gleichstellung, Integration, Vielfalt und Antidiskriminierung (Berliner Senat) • Senatsverwaltung für Bildung, Jugend und Familie (Berlin) • Open Society Foundations Weitere Förderungen kommen u. a. von der Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung (bpb) und aus anderen Bundes- und Landesmitteln (z. B. für das CommUnity Zentrum CUZ). Für das CUZ (Community-Zentrum) gab es 2024 allein aus dem Haushalt des Beauftragten der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien rund 2,7 Mio. €; insgesamt flossen in das Projekt (Senat, Bund, Lottomittel) ca. 10,5 Mio. €. Zusätzlich erhält EOTO private Spenden und Förderbeiträge (steuerlich absetzbar), die der Verein aktiv einwirbt. Der Umsatz lag 2023 bei ca. 2,58 Mio. €. #Rassismus #Bildung #Integration

Από τα μεγαλύτερα μυστήρια για μένα του #paofc Ξεκινήματα Αλαφούζου στον ΠΑΟ έρχεται αυτός ο άγνωστος στο ευρύ κοινό παίχτης. Μου είχε κάνει εντύπωση ότι ο ΠΑΟ τον έφερνε χωρίς κόστος μόνο με ένα ποσοστό μεταπώλησης αν θυμάμαι καλά. Ο παίχτης 20 χρόνων ερχόταν από ήδη 2-3 γεμάτες σεζόν στη Νιγηρία, ενώ ήταν αρχηγός της Εθνικής U20. Κάνει μεγάλο τουρνουά στο Παγκόσμιο U20 το οποίο τότε είχε μεταδοθεί από την ΕΡΤ καθώς συμμετείχε και η εθνική μας ομάδα (Κατίδης κτλ.). Όλοι οι συμπαίχτες του έπαιζαν με μεγάλα ποσά για ευρωπαϊκές ομάδες και εμείς τον παίρναμε κυριολεκτικά τσάμπα και χωρίς ανταγωνισμό? Στην πρώτη του χρονιά είναι αρκετά καλός και περιμένουμε βάση της ηλικίας του (20-21) να γίνει ακόμα καλύτερος. Δεν βελτιώνεται σε τίποτα και με τα χρόνια χάνει τη θέση του στο ροτεισον. Κάνε 2-3 τίμιες χρονιές ακόμα σε Ολλανδία και Βέλγιο και μόλις πατάει τα 27-28 χρόνια εξαφανίζεται εντελώς από το προσκήνιο. Είδα μετά ότι έπαιξε σε κάτι τελειωμένα πρωταθλήματα Σουδάν και Ιορδανίας. Το συμπέρασμα μου είναι ότι πρέπει να έλεγε ψέματα για την ηλικία του, να ήταν 4-5 χρόνια μεγαλύτερος και να το είχαν μυριστει στην Ευρώπη. Για αυτό και δεν υπηρχε κανένα ουσιαστικό ενδιαφέρον από ομάδες, ενώ ήταν ο καλύτερος παίχτης της εθνικής Νιγηρίας U20 με πολλά γκολ σε τουρνουά. Όπως επίσης ότι ουσιαστικά η καριέρα του σταμάτησε στα 27-28 χρόνια. Αυτά από εμένα που μέσα Αυγούστου θυμήθηκα τον Ατζαγκουν 🥲🥲 #PAOFC #football #youthtalent

Qualità atletiche e cambio di passo ben sopra la media, ma con Diego Moreira la Serie A e il Milan accolgono in primis un dribblatore eccezionale. Un dato: tenta circa 4 dribbling ogni 90 minuti; pochi in meno di un un’ala top come Kvara (4.74). Me ne innamorai in Youth League col Benfica, quando faceva svolazzare le treccine dribblando chiunque con le sue tipiche conduzioni palla al piede. Poi si è un po’ perso: testa caldina -si dice. Ma lo Strasburgo di Rosenior gli ha permesso di esplodere da terzino/estero di cc a sx; poi è tornato a fare l’ala dx con O’Neil negli ultimi mesi. Spetterà ad Amorim trovargli la collocazione più adeguata (a destra o a sinistra, ma la fascia è il suo habitat). Ha senz’altro ancora tanto da sgrezzare, ma mi prendo la responsabilità di sostenere che il Milan ha preso un talento di prima fascia. PS: tra Mora, Mastantuono, Moreira e Alajbegovic, forse, la nostra povera e vecchia Serie A torna a rendersi più godibile. Si dribbla! #SerieA #Calcio #Talento
