Definitely an overlooked point: The authoritarian far right, including its white nationalist iterations, are self-consciously global in scope and liberals need to adapt to that:

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Vaarallisen syvää Kiina-riippuvuutta ei ole helppo korjata, mutta eipä sitä ole oikeastaan edes yritetty. Kannattaisi nyt, kun meillä on vielä joitakin valtteja käsissä.

Newsletter: Crypto’s latest “infinite money machine” is the digital asset treasury company — a publicly traded firm that exists primarily to accumulate crypto. For a while, these stocks traded at hefty premiums to the underlying assets. But now, the trade is unraveling.
Digital asset treasury companies are running out of steam
Convincing traders to pay $2 for $1 of bitcoin worked — for a while. As premiums evaporate, an unwind could be painful.

We know this is a bid for authoritarian governance and at this point it is clear it is failing

We know in other countries, such failures generally end with "and then he fled to Russia" or "and then he went to trial" or "and then he and his entire family were murdered."

Why would we be different?

Halituksen arvosana yhteiskunnallisessa insinööriosaamisessa on heikko.. Yhtenä syynä tähän on, että sosiaalitieteet ovat ajautuneet kauas yhteiskunnan keskiöstä. Se pitää korjata.

We have a coalition of the willing because NATO is dysfunctional. Its largest member has been compromised.

NATO is unable to fulfil its basic duties such as defending Europe against Russian aggression.

The EU isn't a defense alliance. It could be but it needs to boot out the Quislings first.

Talouskasvun esteenä voivat olla liian isot tai liian pienet tuloerot. Suomen Gini-kerroin oli lähellä optimia ennen nykyhallitusta.
Silti kannatan ansiotulojen ylimpien marginaaliverojen alentamista.

I just dipped a toe in the cesspit that used to be Twitter, and I think the surest indication that the “28 points” were translated from Russian is the number of Russian mouthpiece accounts busy shouting, unprompted, that that is absolutely not the case and they were drafted in the White House.
keirgiles.bsky.social Keir Giles @keirgiles.bsky.social · 4d
There is plenty in the 28-point list of US/Russian surrender demands for Ukraine that is nonsensical, unenforceable, or so vague as to be meaningless. My favourite might be

“9. European fighter jets will be stationed in Poland.”

It could have been written for maximum vagueness to wrangle over -

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
“Prohibited words and concepts: Equity, diversity, & inclusion; anti-racism; Bias; Critical race theory; implicit bias; oppression; intersectionality; prohibited discriminatory practices; racial privilege; promoting stereotypes based on personal identity characteristics.”

"Ukraine must “enshrine in its constitution” a promise to never join NATO. Ukraine must shrink the size of its armed forces to 600,000, down from 900,000. Ukraine may not host foreign troops on its soil. Ukraine must hold new elections within 100 days, a demand not made of Russia, a dictatorship"

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.
