#Turkey: Popular opposition Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, was arrested and jailed, effectively removed from the presidential race. In this brazen act of political suppression, Erdogan’s government has taken a momentous step toward full-fledged autocracy. www.foreignaffairs.com/turkey/turke...
In the last year, Erdogan has removed several elected mayors belonging to opposition parties and replaced them with government-appointed ones. Journalists, politicians, human rights activists, even the country’s top business group have become targets of bogus court cases. But Imamoglu’s arrest this week is a significant escalation. The terrorism and corruption charges are far more serious and thus carry far greater consequences than the charges in his pending 2022 case. And unlike Demirtas, who was popular but was never more than a third-party candidate, Imamoglu presents a direct threat to Erdogan’s presidency. By removing this rival from the field, Erdogan has shown that he is uninterested in maintaining the façade of competitive elections. Instead, he seeks the kind of autocratic system that Putin has, one with no real opposition and no electoral surprises. Erdogan is now dangerously close to achieving what he wants, and he is following a similar path to the one Putin took in Russia to get there. Two decades ago, Russia was not the tightly controlled autocracy it is today. The country’s economy was booming, and Putin was genuinely popular, so he tolerated some opposition and left parts of the democratic system intact. But after the 2008 financial crisis, as economic growth stalled and antigovernment protests erupted, Putin responded with repression. And in 2020, he fully cemented his rule as an unchallenged autocrat. Constitutional amendments were passed that allowed Putin to stay in power until 2036. His regime went into overdrive arresting, exiling, or silencing even its most marginal critics. In August 2020, Kremlin operatives poisoned the activist Αlexei Navalny, Putin’s fiercest opponent, in an attempt to kill him. (Navalny later died in a Russian penal colony in 2024.) Today, Russian elections are a mere formality. Real challengers are banned while Putin selects a few token opponents to create the illusion of competition. The outcome is never in doubt.

“Mistaken”
nytimes.com The New York Times @nytimes.com · Apr 6
The Israeli military on Saturday acknowledged that the initial accounts from troops involved in the killing of 15 people in Gaza — who the UN said were rescue workers — had been partially “mistaken.” The assessment came after a video appeared to contradict the military’s earlier version of events.
Israel Says Its Account of Rescue Workers Killed in Gaza Was Partly ‘Mistaken’
The Israeli military had previously asserted that the workers had been “advancing suspiciously” toward its troops. A video obtained by The New York Times on Friday appeared to contradict that account.

On BBC Radio 4 I take you back to 2019 when a teenager coined a campaign slogan for Istanbul Mayor Imamoglu, telling him: 'Everything will be fine'. Now they are both in jail; the boy a symbol of a movement which worries that everything is far from fine: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

The arrest of Istanbul's mayor sparked mass protests and a heavy response by authorities.

„Diversity friendly jihadist“ is my new favorite expression. My Christmas t shirt slogan. Goes well with my „ Merry crisis“ socks.

the music sector has already lost some of what it once had with spotify. most of us will continue working at our 2nd or 3rd jobs, while today’s heavy hitters will only earn a few million dolllars less.

I've spoken to a number of ppl who said they did not feel comfortable using the term "genocide" until a report like this came out. Here's hoping their reservations are done now and that we can stop arguing semantics instead of trying to stop the slaughter itself.
