‼️ The @eppgroup.bsky.social "centrists" are doing the far rights' dirty work on migration.
On Monday, they struck a murderous deal on the Deportation Regulation, allowing mass deportations and up to 2 years in offshore detention camps, even for children.

Es par to vēl varu piezīmēt, ka man ir personīgi tuvi zinām piemēri, kuri varbūt nebūtu nonākuši "alt right pipeline" bez Snaidera it kā akadēmiskā aizsega etnonacionālismam
Snaiders un Applebauma ir principā šis mēms, viņi ieguva popularitāti nevis ar akadēmisko kvalitāti, bet to, ka bija pieprasījums pēc etnonacionālisma ar labākām sabiedriskajām attiecībām, un viņu tagadējā labējo kritika ir, ka tas vienkārši ir gājis par tālu
Es ar to gribu teikt, ka Snaiders ir autoritāte par anti-autoritārismu tikai tādā veidā, kā salauzts pulkstenis reizēm rāda pareizu laiku, jo viņš bija atslēgas cilvēks, kas deva grūdienu tam, kas no "alt right" līdz mūsdienām palika par trampismu
Snaiders ieguva atpazīstamību ar to, ka reabilitēja Erstu Nolti, pasniedzot to pašu tēzi "caur puķēm", un viņš ir mēģinājis uz šo kritiku atbildēt, patiesībā vienkārši pasvītrojot, ka viņam nav substantīvu iebildumu Noltem, tikai viņa empīriskā metodoloģija it kā esot labāka
Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves
Mayor Mamdani and a child play with Legos while looking very serious and concentrated. The child is impossibly adorable and wearing tiny blue glasses.

Šī atziņa burtiski katru dienu iesit pa seju.
Two photos. The first shows Catturd tweeting: Name one US inspired regime change that hasn't ended in absolute disaster The next tweet shows him posting an AI illustration of Khamenei turned into a pile of dust. It says "I'm eliminated."
Two tweets. The first shows Laura Loomer promoting her show, where she says "A message has been sent that we are not interested in going back to the way politics were prior to Donald Trump, prior to 2016. We don't want warhawks. We don't want any more Neocons. We want American First. Period. End of discussion." The next tweet says: Today is a great day. Our military is amazing. @PeteHegseth is an absolute killer. Now you see why the Deep State worked so hard against him. It’s great having a Sec War who has Infidel literally tattooed on his body. He actually gets it. God bless him.
Two tweets. The first shows Will Chamberlain tweeting: The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars. If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position. The next tweet shows him posting "Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead." The tweet has a USA flag attached.
Two tweets. The first shows Gunther Eagleman tweeting: "Warmonger Lindsey Graham just rushed to Fox to advocate for U.S. involvement as soon as he could. He is also pushing for a US-backed regime change in Iran. I would like to renominate Graham to get a one-way ticket to the frontlines of every war he wants America involved in." There's an attached video of Graham speaking. The next shows Eagleman tweeting: UST IN! President Trump is HARD AT WORK all weekend after the massive strikes on Iran! He’s already on the phone with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte! Trump is a machine!" There's an attached video of a news segment about the war in Iran.

Dzīves padoms: ja ir jāsāk ieraksts ar atrunām, ka nefano par Trampu, varbūt nevajag
Kas mani uztrauc, pat ekspertu mutēs(piem.Rozenvalds), ir nu jau mediju diskusijās plaši tiražētais apgalvojums par Pro un ZZS savstarpējo apsaukāšanos, kas jau izgājusi no sliedēm. Varbūt esmu ko palaidusi garām, taču neesmu manījusi Šuvajeva, kas galvenikārt pārstāv Pro, runā apsaukāšanās pazīmes.
"Neesmu nevienā pusē" puse, kurai šī nebūšana pusēs gandrīz vienmēr sakrīt ar to, ka tas varētu izaicināt cilvēkus ar ietekmi

Democracy is an epistemic discipline, it only works if truth can constrain power. Without a faster, more transparent architecture for shared reality, the arc of democracy bends away from substance, through simulation, and toward authoritarianism. Without major action, it's the inevitable end state.
In “simulation,” the functions invert. Verification becomes loyalty testing. Deliberation becomes spectacle. Accountability becomes partisan punishment. Democratic form remains, but democratic function is gone. Sound familiar? 🇺🇸
As I've written before, people don’t trust institutions because institutions aren't doing the job. Democracy rests on three pillars: Verification, Deliberation, Accountability, which can be understood as being substantial, performative, and simulated.

A regime that finally backs down when confronted by a united Europe is still tough enough to kidnap a five year old after preschool.

1️⃣ He didn't say that.
2️⃣ He said it, but you misunderstood him.
3️⃣ He said what you understood, but he was just trolling.
4️⃣ He was serious but he's just negotiating, not going to do it.
5️⃣ He's going to do it for grand strategy reasons I've invented.
6️⃣ Look what you liberals made him do.
He says he will meet with Trump on Wednesday, accompanied by the Belgian monarch Philippe: "But it will have a different character than we had planned. It will probably be the message that we have to send: you're crossing red lines here. We either stand together or we will stand divided, and if we are divided, there is the end of an era, of 80 years of atlanticism, really drawing to a close. And you know, as Gramsci said, 'if the old is dying and the new is not yet born, you live in a time of monsters, and it's up to him to decide if he wants to be a monster - yes or no."

You're not beating the allegations that centrists are just shy right-wingers with this anytime soon
I’ve been reading Trump’s "Board of Peace Charter," and despite the name, this isn’t a multilateral institution, it’s a centralised structure built entirely around the authority of one person (Trump).

Tas viss skan ļoti, ļoti jocīgi, ņemot vērā, ka mūsu ārlietu ministre brauc vizītē pie galvenā starptautisko tiesību pārkāpēja pasaulē
The Nobel Peace Prize becoming so prestigious that wars are fought over a head of state coveting it is some real monkey paw stuff for Alfred Nobel.
Izklausās pareizi
ŠJ Kudors teic, ka Venecuēlas, Irānas un Kubas diktatoru gāšana ārpus starptautiskā tiesiskuma rāmjiem jebkuram "labas gribas" cilvēkam būtu ļoti tīkama, bet ar Grenladi esot citādi.

The images and stories coming out of Minneapolis are extraordinary. We can't say we did not know what was happening. Lots of people are putting their bodies on the line to make sure we do.
