A war foretold: how the CIA and MI6 got hold of Putin’s Ukraine plans and why nobody believed them
Drawing on more than 100 interviews with senior intelligence officials and other insiders in multiple countries, this exclusive account details how the US and Britain uncovered Vladimir Putin’s plans ...

🚨 New symposium on “Abusive Feminism”🚨 ROSALIND DIXON kicks it off by unpacking the concept: how anti-feminist, would-be authoritarians use feminist ideas and language to advance and legitimate their own sexist, authoritarian projects. verfassungsblog.de/abusive-femi...
Quote from the piece by Rosalind Dixon: “[I]t is part of a project of superficial or selective implementation or rights, or else, the co-optation of female leaders into the anti-feminist, anti-democratic project.”

Poland has elected a new president: Karol Nawrocki, the PiS candidate, who now holds a strong mandate. What will his election mean for Europe? PAULINA MILEWSKA (@pamilewska.bsky.social) argues: more than you might think. verfassungsblog.de/what-nawrock...
Quote from our published article by author PAULINA MILEWSKA: “Narwocki may not serve as a mere extension of PiS leadership, indicating a potential shift in the dynamic between the presidency and the party.”

No words on the Tuesday’s freeze of trillions of dollars in federal money by Trump. The lack of foreign aid affected most of the NGOs in the region I know and people are losing jobs from one day to another… what a year and it’s just January.

Will Musk influence the outcome of elections in Germany?yes. The other problem is that we’re still focusing on writing reports on Russian trolls while it’s not the most pressing issue anymore. The main troll is the X owner and that’s his open political agenda. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
