As people talk of reshaping of the Middle East in the light of breakdown in relations between the UAE and Saudi Arabia, nobody seems to be interested in South Yemen's separatist movement, at the heart of the dispute. So I thought I'd speak to them. Have a listen! open.spotify.com/episode/29y2...

Is the whole Greenland thing just Trump deliberately distracting European countries from Ukraine for a bit? Then there might actually be some logic behind it. Then again, Trump and his enablers don't seem to let a lack of logic stop them doing many other things ...

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

Wasn't that keen on the state visit for Trump, but if it kept the USA supporting Ukraine for a while longer it might have been a price worth paying. But given today we've seen that Trump has no intention of continuing support he can $@*! right off. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

“I do see a long-term ownership position and I see it bringing great stability to that part of the Middle East.” Yep - that’s what he said: an American colonial occupation of Gaza will bring “great stability” to the Middle East. This may be the stupidest thing he’s ever said.

Interesting argument in this piece that the Tiktok order is actually the most egregious in terms of pushing what the president can do. It unilaterally overturns an act of Congress that the supreme court approved 9-0. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/trump-resc...

This is a fantastic detailed look at how fascism is defined and whether Trump and Trumpism meet the definition. The conclusion is very clear.
