Violent or destructive left wing protest is framed as delegitimising the protesters' stated cause.
Violent or destructive right wing protest is framed as emphasing the need for urgent action on the protesters' stated cause.
As always, right wing men are treated as elemental forces without agency.

I useful reminder that European energy from renewables won't be interrupted by geopolitics.

We need to separate bad faith leaders from misled or manipulated voters. Not to excuse, but to understand: if we don’t find a way to reach some of them, we can’t rebuild a democratic society. We’ll just have parallel realities in conflict.

📣 Journalists! There is a ceasefire agreement that was signed and agreed to by all parties. Israel unilaterally deciding to stop implementing its provisions and move the goalposts is a violation of that.
Cover the news accordingly.

If democracy relies on an informed public, then information disorder isn’t just a crisis - it’s an accelerant. We aren’t watching a controlled authoritarian takeover. We’re watching chaos unfold, driven by leaders who believe their own disinformation.
