By distinguishing external from internal self-determination, India maintains that Jammu and Kashmir is its integral part and that it inherited the borders drawn by the British. But this is a claim that has not been accepted by the people of Jammu and Kashmir. cil.nus.edu.sg/blogs/a-crit...

There is no 'congrats' loud or enthusiastic enough for the Penn State grad students, who didn't just win their union today, but did it by an utterly absurd 90 point margin.

Marxism has caught a lot of flak for some of its most aggressively modernist claims and practices. Some of the criticism was fair and some wasn't, and as a hardcore modernist I would like to see some self-reflection by those who replaced the critique of capitalism only with critiques of modernity.

Years of restricted trade, limited control over imports, and stunted development have made Palestinians in Gaza deeply reliant on humanitarian aid. This dependence has allowed the basic necessities—access to food, water, fuel, medicine—to be weaponised. cil.nus.edu.sg/blogs/the-la...

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman.
They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

Labour's lies were an insult to West Midlands Police.
But more important, their intent was to put the people of Birmingham in harm's way.
And I hope the people of this city never forget it.

It's a pity that there was no way predict that Thanksgiving was coming. But sometimes it's these kind of unforeseeable contingencies that matter for politics.
My read of it (with very incomplete information) is scoring more political points would have required destroying Thanksgiving travel and at least 10 Dem Senators don’t have the stomach for that.
