“Conversation in public, shared spaces has a special power in these polarised, lonely, even dehumanising times. A sense of community requires much more than a few chairs on the pavement, but it is a good place to start.” My opinion piece @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It’s great to see so much support for the value of ‘taking the breeze’ – the authorities must respect public space too, says María Ramírez, journalist and deputy managing editor of elDiario.es

Is the U.S. Becoming an Autocracy?
Other countries have watched their democracies slip away gradually, without tanks in the streets. That may be where we’re headed—or where we already are.

This ridiculous deflection is such a non sequitur. Due process is what distinguishes us as a people from the monsters who do commit heinous crimes. If there’s no due process, we’re a society that can just lynch people on an accusation, with no need to get it right.

Elias Law Group: “President Trump’s goal is clear. He wants lawyers and law firms to capitulate and cower until there is no one left to oppose his Administration in court.”
Marc Elias
@marcelias.bsky.social shares statement from Elias Law Group on Bluesky:

"President Trump is attempting to dismantle the constitution and attack the rule of law in his obsessive pursuit of retribution against his political opponents. Today's White House Memo targets not only me and my law firm, but every attorney and law firm who dares to challenge his assault on the rule of law.
"President Trump's goal is clear. He wants lawyers and law firms to capitulate and cower until there is no one left to oppose his Administration in court.”

"Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf.”

"Our democracy is in peril, and the decisions made by lawyers and their firms may
GROUP very well determine the future of the rule of law in the United States."

It's really outrageous that so many people calling for "substantive" discussions about politics and a turn away from "identitarianism" dismiss Jamelle as "woke" when he's been writing nonstop about US history and the constitution — what does his "wokeness" consist of exactly?

“The fact that Elon Musk, a de facto prime minister acting with the authority of the president, can cancel federal programs without a peep from the majority in Congress is a sign of constitutional rot.” Limp, lazy, and complicit, @thune.senate.gov. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/o...

In mere weeks, the Trumpists have managed to turn America from a democratic system – albeit one with significant flaws – into one that no longer deserves to be counted among the world’s democracies. America is something else now. We need to recalibrate our expectations.

The Democratic party began to lose its constituency (the working class), as early as the 70s. With Clinton it admitted that the markets where the best judges of policy. Obama bailed out a reckless financial sector, while the taxpayers bore the brunt of the crisis.

Europe has to pay more for its own defence. One debate is whether they should "Buy European" weapons or buy them from America or other allies. One really BAD statistic is polluting the debate: that the EU buys 80% of its weapons from overseas. Ursula von der Leyen repeated it today. It's wrong. 🧵

After Elon Musk has been insinuating to turn off Starlink in Ukraine, Poland‘s Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski is reminding Musk that Poland is paying for it, and he is making clear that if Musk follows through that Poland will abandon Starlink altogether for being an unreliable service.

Pfizer’s cancer drug commercial was beautiful, but their breast cancer drug Ibrance costs $10k per month and their prostate cancer drug Xtandi costs $22k per month. Beautiful commercials don’t change the fact that 42% of cancer patients exhaust their life savings in 2 years.
