100% - I think the sheer scale of the Trump 2.0 attack on so many aspects of international cooperation, peacebuilding, and aid is really underappreciated by the public (not that it’s really their fault, the reporters and media who can explain it are either captured or also in funding crisis).

Looking back to surges of elite anti-Semitic or anti-Slavic sentiment in Germany and Austria between 1848 and 1932, a key factor was how upward social mobility of once marginal communities fuelled a vicious response from established groups fearful of losing their monopoly on positions and power

Editor’s Pick: Christopher Nolan's “Odyssey” extracts a universal message from Homer's ancient text and laments a world where rules have collapsed and might makes right, writes @idreesahmad.bsky.social .

The Odyssey Wars
Christopher Nolan’s latest film is a commentary on a world where rules have collapsed and might makes right; it is also a repudiation of the right’s culture wars

Democrats should make 2 key points. 1) The illegal war in Iran has been a blunder & we are worse off than before it started. 2) There’s no good way out of a bad war. We should reject the talking points of those who cheered it on & want to drag us back into it. When you're in a hole, stop digging.

We have now joined W, a new European social media network. We’re present on 15+ platforms, and are especially happy to join one based in Europe and with the ambition to foster open and safer online conversations. Keep the conversation going - whether from W, Bluesky or other compatible apps.

The "W" has a 3D effect, with the left half in white and the right half in a light mint green. Five large, yellow five-pointed stars curve along the top, right, and bottom edges, reminiscent of the European Union flag. In the bottom right corner, there is a small, white institutional logo representing the European Commission.

21 years ago today, Samir Kassir — a Lebanese-Palestinian journalist and leftist intellectual — was assassinated in Beirut, by the Assad regime. Samir’s writing inspired a generation.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2026
Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Using US taxpayer dollars to bomb people and steal another country’s oil for oligarchs to sell to US taxpayers. Taxpayers pay twice, the rich get richer, and climate change from burning fossil fuels gets worse, spreading disasters globally. Murder, corruption, theft, terrorism, climate destruction.

Verhandeln bedeutet nicht automatisch verhandlungsbereit zu sein. Beispiel: die russische Delegation in Istanbul. Wer Maximalforderungen als Grundlage für eine bedingungslose Waffenruhe aufstellt und als Alternative einen ewigen Krieg androht, ist nicht an Frieden interessiert.

OTD in 1997 negotiations to end the 1st Chechen war began. as a result we promised to not use force, or the threat of force, “forever”. 2 years later we staged some false flags & invaded & killed over 100,000 civilians. So you can trust us in negotiations now.

Wenn man mir heute sagt: "Vorsicht, der ist Antisemit", weiß ich nicht, ob das bedeutet: "Er verprügelt in seiner Freizeit Juden" oder "Er findet, in Gaza sollen nicht ganz so viele Kinder bombardiert werden." Damit verliert das Wort seine Bedeutung und der Kampf gegen Antisemitismus wird unmöglich.

Trump’s response to Putin’s Palm Sunday massacre is to blame Zelensky. Disputing that Trump is Kremlin-owned is now like denying gravity. It ignores all available evidence. An international embarrassment and a national security crisis.

This idea that there is a god given right for fascists to always be allowed to run in elections because somehow democracy is threatened by not allowing fascists to run for office is profoundly stupid, dangerous and makes people sound patently insane. Fascists want to kill democracy. That is all.

All I keep thinking about is how Pete Hegseth raised questions of the competency of a Black four-star general and Air Force fighter pilot who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth asked did he get the job “because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt.”
