I admit, I don't understand the strategy here...

YouTube is absolutely bombarding my phone with these ads. Clicking on the "visit advertiser" link sends you an Israeli site with a 404 error.

I prefer this version.

You see, what people don't understand about Trump isn't that he hasn't updated his understanding of geography from the 1980s, but that he's just a big fan of Sergey Shnurov.

Someone needs to coin a term for a government "run by television hosts." Existing vocabulary just doesn't have the explanatory power.

Half of Democratic senators are *still* voting to send arms to Israel.

Angry reacts only 🤬

I'm resharing this portion of the report in the hopes that my colleagues in the US anti-racism field will pull their heads out of the sand and finally do their jobs and report on extremism when it involves Israelis.

New report from the Israeli human rights and anti-apartheid NGO B'tselem refers to what is happening in Gaza as "our Genocide".

You see, this is just amateur authoritarism. Everyone knows that in an authoritarian system, you want more opposition parties to potentially split the vote, not less. If he took a leaf from Putin and created 3 more Tisza-like parties and didn't try to repress them,they'd be winning in the polls now.

Support for Netanyahu isn't much better ...

Pew RC polling June 2025 shows that Netanyahu and the far-right governing coalition have tanked their levels of international support. Only in the US, Kenya, and Nigeria does support remain above 40%.

Extra disgusting to tout your history as a "good," "hardworking," legal immigrant," for what is possible under a Trump presidency, while the administration is literally deporting anyone and anything that moves, legal or "illegal."

This meeting will be about bullshit "White Genocide" won't it... If Ramaphosa had any sense, he'd get the hell out of there before they organize another Zelensky-style "gotcha" in front of the press.

The new Portuguese parliament. The Socialist Party took a big beating, and far-right Chega is tied for the position of the second largest party. The broader left is now marginal, while the right holds almost two-thirds of the legislature in total.

Turnout's also slightly up in Portugal as well. 😬😬😬

Already a record high turnout in the 2nd round of the Romanian election, driven by higher turnout among the diaspora.

I can see the poli sci titles now:

-"Towards a Theory of "Trump Derangement Syndrome"

-"'Trump Derangement' Defining an Elusive Concept"

-"Introducing the 'TDS' Scale"

-APSA panel on 'Trump Derangement', organized by Hillsdale College.

Academic grifters are going to have a field day.
