As an European citizen I'm imploring United States citizens to vote for Ossoff at ANY election cycle, until he retires from politics. Senate AND hopefully presidential elections. Not ready for a Jewish president? Shiver me timbers and get over it. I'd donate or phone bank for him if I could.

I've had this tab open since June. A WaPo article titled: "He’s studied procrastination for 40 years. Here’s what he’s learned." I've just read it. It's not good. Close tab. Job done. Much obliged for the nudge. archive.is/tj5RJ#select...

In the Netherlands, the government released a whole series of PSAs on exactly this subject: directing especially men to stand and "Speak UP!". Ex: group of old male friends make lewd comments about the waitress. One of them speaks up. Male co-workers in group text. This one is directed at young men

90 years ago, Parliament responded to the rise of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts by passing the Public Order Act, which banned political uniforms, private militias and the threat of force for political objects. The debates make very resonant reading today. Here's the Liberal Robert Bernays. (Short 🧵)
You cannot conduct a fair match when one side is playing with a ball and the other with bombs and, if democracy is to survive, it must be conducted according to definite and recognised rule. One of them is that no political party should resort to any weapon other than reason and argument. The introduction of private armies, as I see it, strikes at the root of democracy. I know it is contended that the Blackshirts are not armed and, therefore, are not an army, but I do not think that argument can be upheld. … Uniformed men in military formation suggest, and are meant to suggest, the idea of force. It is no argument to reply that at this or that demonstration no force is intended. It is an inescapable fact that a uniform in politics symbolises force, to be used either now or in the future.

Perfectly reasonable. By 1776 the Kingdom of Portugal and the Kingdom of England had been allies for 403 years. It's the oldest active treaty between nations, signed on June 16, 1373.

I know they are not allowed to speak of "war" but it's quite something to refer to it as "flying".

Isabel Sena @isabelsena.bsky.social · 18/06/2026
I just learned from a Dutch journalist that Russians use the expression "it's flying again" as a euphemism for "it's war" because they are not allowed to use the word "war". Have you also heard this?
