The one political event that gives me some hope. Looking forward to the good news!

Lulaβs approval and the exchange rate β the strongest domestic predictor of voting behavior in our models.
Turns out, itβs still the economy, stupid.
Criminals
Thugs.
Netanyahu equates Palestinians with Hamas in a way that, if done to Jews, would be called antisemitism. There should be a name for that.
It is very annoying to see world media so easily replace βagreementβ with βdeal.β Words matter; politics is not business.

What happens while Trump brags about Aberbaijan
First law firms, then universities, now the media and NGOs. Those who lived in dictatorships know so well where this takes.
Aberbaijan and Albania, right? No wonder Trump and Bolsonaro get along so well.
The deterioration becomes more evident with each passing day.
GENOCIDE - "Indiscriminate bombardment making Gaza uninhabitable, the blocking of humanitarian aid, sexual and gender-based violence and a siege we concluded was designed to starve the population to death."

@ezrakleinbot.bsky.social could have written the exact same piece and still resist the temptation of calling Kirkβs stance βgood politics.β Good politics is about substantive proposals, not reinforcing minority stereotypes or fueling hate speech.

Jesus, this guy is a freak, nobody takes him seriously, go get informed
Yes, Mr Trump, the Brazilian democracy did to Bolsonaro what the American failed to do to you -- punish wanna-be dictators.
Great day for Brazilian democracy!
I wonder how aware Americans are about Trump's unabashed attack on Brazil's democracy.
Quintessencial colonial mentality, and the irrelevance of palestinian pain.
What a disappointment.

Is this still a democracy? Whoever lived under autocratic regimes knows it is not.
