African officials express concern that the nuclear armed, ethnically volatile former British colony is sleepwalking towards a human rights disaster. #NewsIfUSAWasAForeignCountry
Tanks being moved into DC. National guard being mobilized in LA. Paramilitary thugs being unleashed across America. It's summer in America in fascism is in full bloom.

We’ve reached the point where “did the foreign dignitary pay proper obeisance to the Mad Emperor?” is apparently a perfectly fine basis for U.S. foreign policy.

Incredible first day of presentations at this year's HPE grantee conference. We kicked things off with Asensio Robles, @atrasi.bsky.social, Eric Helleiner, and Jamie Martin discussing the role of private banks in Spain's democratization, and neoliberalism in Thailand's "sufficiency economy"
