Anti-immigrant demagoguery is the hearth that keeps the embers of local ethno-sectarian and racial animus alive. We saw it in the US and France, we're seeing it in Northern Ireland and the UK. It's both replacement therapy and gateway drug.

Hitler planned to rebuild Berlin with buildings - including a "triumphal" arch - so massive they threatened to sink into the earth. Instead, the city was bombed into the ground in the war Hitler started. History does not repeat itself. But it does offer warnings.

There is mounting evidence that the scale of damage Iran has been able to inflict on the United States' military equipment and the accuracy of the strikes were made possible through Russia's geospatial intelligence supplied to Iran.

“Russian strategists threaten civilian economic and cultural sites with the aim of brutalizing European populations into surrender. Russian targeting of churches and hospitals in Ukraine with dual-capable missiles is meant to foreshadow a similar fate for NATO populations.”

And, btw, this is how Ru uses sports to push its agenda. Many hockey fans can’t bring themselves to admit Ovechkin is a Putinist because they don’t want to wonder whether the right thing is to then denounce him; instead, they blame Ukraine for getting invaded and parrot Russian propaganda.

Our Editorial Board in Opinion: When Florida created the Sixth District Court of Appeal in 2022, critics suspected Gov. Ron DeSantis wanted conservative judges to dilute the relatively liberal Second District. Four years later, its disregard for precedent suggests that was the goal all along.

A Florida court becomes a right-wing think tank | Editorial

In 2022, the Legislature created a new Sixth District Court of Appeals, despite the other five not being overburdened. Four years on, the point seems to be overturning precedent.

A clan of predators, supporting revolutionary allies from illiberal parties and nations, and getting rich in the process. A must-read @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu on this new, far worse United States.

administration's reckoning, he had two strikes against him: First, de Moraes's court was trying Bolsonaro; second, he had provoked the ire of Elon Musk, Trump's largest election donor. De Moraes "needs to leave," Musk said, comparing him to Voldemort, after de Moraes threatened to fine X and ordered it to block accounts accused of spreading disinformation.
The crisis was novel in other ways too. In normal times, the Brazilian government is reasonably well connected in Washington, regardless of who runs either country. The tenth-largest economy in the world, Brazil cooperates extensively with U.S. law enforcement and regional organizations. Yet at this crucial moment, with billions of dollars in the balance and Brazil's sovereign democracy under attack, Brazilian officials suddenly found that nobody in the Trump administration would speak to the formal representatives of their left-leaning president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Brazil's ambassador to Washington found herself isolated. The foreign minister, a diplomat who had known U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio for decades, could not get through to anyone. A junior official told me that even his graduate-school classmate at the U.S. Treasury would not answer his calls.

A truce was finally arranged, multiple people told me, with the help of Joesley Batista, a billionaire whose meatpacking company does business in both the U.S. and Brazil, and whose American subsidiary had donated $5 million to Trump's inauguration (more than the contributions of Amazon, Meta, and Google combined). Batista had no official government role, but his money may have given him the clout to influence Trump's meetings with Lula at the 2025 United Nations General Assembly, in New York City, and at a summit in Kuala Lumpur, where the two elderly populists, each with grievances against their respective establishments, hit it off. The tariffs were reduced.
The détente was temporary. When I visited São Paulo and Brasilia this past spring, the State Department had just appointed a new senior adviser on Brazil policy. Before working for the administration, Darren Beattie founded Revolver News, a website that promoted the "Fedsurrection" conspiracy-the belief that federal agents were behind the riots on January 6, an obsession that would naturally appeal to Brazil's election deniers and displease the elected president. When Beattie asked to visit Brazil for a minerals conference, the Brazilian government refused to grant him a visa, in part because it suspected that his true purpose was to visit Jair Bolsonaro,

Slowly, the Brazilians were learning the same lesson as other American allies around the
world: The United States of America is no longer the entity they knew. And American power is no longer deployed solely by trained diplomats and reliable officials, working through state channels. Informal envoys, private companies, online grifters, and hardened ideologues both inside and outside the government matter more.
Unlike their predecessors, these people do not talk about spreading democracy, and don't want to build long-term relationships.
They don't care about America's reputation.
They are deploying the tools of American diplomacy and government for their own purposes, to promote their own business interests or their own ideological goals, because, suddenly, they can.
