Inside the Mind of a Voter by Michael Bruter and Sarah Harrison is an in-depth look into the psychology of voters around the world, how voters shape elections, and how elections transform citizens and affect their lives.
Out now in paperback:
#France strengthens ties in the Indo-Pacific. Macron’s visit to Vietnam, Indonesia, and Singapore highlights French strategic role in regional security. Historic ties and new challenges shape France’s growing presence in a crucial global hotspot. #Geopolitics #GlobalPolitics #InternationalRelations
Jesus Christ this graph. Total and utter political failure.
Excellent, if chilling, read by @profsaunders.bsky.social
"Trump can now largely do whatever he wants when it comes to anything even glancingly related to foreign policy or national security. [... In these matters,] the presidency now has the characteristics of a personalist dictatorship."
🚨Stephen Miller gets his way. Just a few days after Ag. Sec. Rollins convinced Trump to briefly back down, quotas and indiscriminate raids are back.
Farms, restaurants, and hotels are now subject to ICE raids again, with intense pressure on ICE to hit 3,000 arrests a day. Miller remains in charge.
Any democratic nation that seeks to avoid its “negative history” rather than to learn from it will not be a real democracy very long
The internment of Japanese AMERICANS happened. It’s important to understand HOW — what was the fear, reality, panic of that time /1

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands.
Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵
For MAGA influencers (both in and out of office), right-wing violence doesn't exist. When those on the right commit it, they are either secretly liberal (Minnesota shooter), it wasn’t actually violence (Jan. 6 “tourists”) or their victims deserved what they got (the hammer attack on Paul Pelosi).
Democrats lost serious ground with young men in the 2024 presidential election. Now, some within the party are working to win them back.
🏆 to whoever came up with and coordinated the No Kings protest at Ocean Beach, San Francisco.
Don’t miss it…absolute fire.
The symbolism is rich, robust, and deeply un-American. <end>

Just met this man at the No Kings protest in Philly: Dan O’Neill.
Dan is an evangelical Christian, but says recently left a church bc its members were so uncritically supportive of Trump.
He says: “I have read the Bible recently, and everything I read in there, (Trump) is doing the opposite of.”
Houston. Showed. Up.
Lotta people at this Philly No Kings protest.
Like, a lot.
The Nashville #NoKingsDay rally has taken it to the streets…

The Guardian: Scared advertisers, flag bans and Trump: the US is in for a troubled Pride 2025. Event organizers in red and blue states have seen an exodus of sponsors amid an anti-LGBTQ+ political climate. They insist the show will go on.

The Cape Fear chapter of the Proud Boys posted a message on Telegram, asking members if they were “going to let grown men dressed as women shake their asses in front of children again this year? Or are you finally going to stop tolerating that in your town?”
🧵MEGA THREAD: I'm tracking the far right anti-LGBTIQ groups targeting LGBTIQ events during Pride Month.
Also, how are organizations, corporations, and lawmakers responding to the Trump Administration and Republicans' ongoing efforts to erase and criminalize the transgender and queer community.
They wanted max cruelty. Shock and awe for the cameras. But all they did was traumatize a bunch of poor kids who’ll never forget it.
An L.A. mom, US citizen, watched as unmarked vehicles rolled up. Masked, heavily armed ICE agents, guns drawn. And Cosplay Kristi Noem right there playing warlord!
Immigration protests against ICE raids spread across the U.S. as tensions continued to grow in Los Angeles.
In New York City and San Francisco, dozens of demonstrators were arrested, while rallies in Houston and San Antonio remained peaceful.

Counterpoint: "The West" is not a thing, and acting as if it is "in decline" relative to some Other and that this is bad is an extremely problematic framework.
It's the far right lunatics who are most invested in the idea of "Western Civilization."
