Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933.

I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

We are once again experiencing history repeating itself as a tragic farse. What a terrible time. I cannot understand how people will go out of their way to defend ethnic cleansing and genocides in mainstream media. Also, why publish this? Because we have to hear the other side justifying a genocide?
This is unhinged and sociopathic.

US Govt forced Indigenous people to relocate. It was genocide.

Nazis forced Jews to relocate to concentration camps. It was genocide.

Myanmar forced the Rohingya to relocate. It was genoicde.

WSJ is advocating for more genocide. Horrific.

Correct. Check what Lisbon did with the April 25th bridge (Ponte 25 de Abril), the Golden Gate twin. There is a lower deck where Trains run through (both commuter and long range).
There were even plans to double deck the Golden Gate Bridge!

Era o jogo mais importante da história do andebol português. Agora, será o próximo, contra a Dinamarca. Portugal assegurou, de forma épica, um lugar nas meias-finais. É certo que vai, pelo menos, lutar pela medalha de bronze.

Ontem, durante o jogo e perante mais um descalabro em campo, Rui Costa saiu do estádio a correr. Provavelmente ainda está a correr e já deve ir em Madrid. O objectivo deve ser chegar a Florença, fingir que tem 23 anos, e ignorar os últimos 17 anos de dirigente do SLB.

Portugal nos quartos de um Mundial de andebol é algo que há 15/20 anos era um sonho, ou uma coisa complicada de imaginar. Hoje é realidade. Uma aposta e uma ESTRATÉGIA séria & real no desporto poderia levar Portugal a outros níveis e medalhas. Veja-se o exemplo do crescimento no andebol...
Mais uma grande conquista para o desporto nacional. Portugal eliminou Espanha e apurou-se pela primeira vez para os quartos do Mundial de andebol de 2025. #portugal #andebol #mundial #vamosportugal #2025WorldMen'sHandballChampionship

Trump axed workplace protections for minority employees working for federal contractors. He wants to “forge a society that is colorblind and merit-based.”

You know, one that looks just like the Republican Party.

Looks like the next 4 years will be, in addition to all the horrible, creepy, and obscene stuff, a complete chaos of judicial battles across the nation such as this one. Every day we will have new battles and new democracy smashing events triggered by his creative destruction. Wonderful. 👍
This is what Trump wanted, and learned from his first term: get lawyers who will lie, and hope that enough members of SCOTUS are willing to go along with the lie.

Caro Rúben,
Se as coisas não melhorarem por aí (e espero que melhorem, pois mereces que assim seja), podes ter a certeza que todos os Benfiquistas te vão receber de braços abertos. ;) Um dia serás novamente muito feliz na tua verdadeira casa, o Estádio da Luz.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor Anne Hidalgo’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.

Good trade.

And also true- urbanism is mostly white, non-disabled, and not-primary-caregiver dominated. Getting other experiences in the room (and with decision making power) is critical.

Por vezes o futebol Português não faz sentido nenhum. Não sei o que se passou, mas não é um caso único. Coloca-se tudo em causa ao final de três jogos? E quem contratou, usou que critério? Em 2025 já não se deveria gerir organizações profissionais assim. É mau.
