In the Andes, elections ride on political frustrations and social movements
The Andean Republics, like many nations in Hispanic America, have a historical tradition of electing charismatic presidents who use their electoral success to subjugate legislatures and dominate political parties. Over the last couple of decades, presidential candidates have extended this approach by abandoning legacy parties to create new political instruments that would be considered campaign […]

A 2016 civil lawsuit found in the Epstein files alleges that

Epstein raped her too.

Plaintiff and her family would be physically harmed if not killed.”<…

Fantastic warm speech from the Green's Hannah Spencer, who just smashed the English right wing parties with a 4k majority win 👏🏼

In many European countries, including Britain, Germany and France,
far-right parties seem ascendant.
And Donald Trump is doing what he can to undermine democracy in the United States.
Yet a closer analysis shows that autocrats are often running scared of their people.
And surprisingly, democracy these days seems sometimes to be held in higher esteem in the global south than in the democratic heartland of the west.
These trends show there is nothing inevitable ab…

"I feel increasingly alarmed by what’s happening politically in America. And yet, even in light of everything in Minnesota, some of my friends seem very apolitical. Instead of talking about ways to get involved, they’re going on with business as usual — hosting dinner parties...
My strong intuition is that we’re all obligated to play some role in this. But I don’t know how to convey that to them or how to articulate exactly what that role should be..."

Your friends are still acting like everything is normal in America. What do you do?
It’s not just Minneapolis — all Americans live in a “dual state” now. Here’s what that means.

The regularity of leftish political parties wondering why they lose voters after they've tried so, so hard to embrace centrism* is truly awe-inspiring
*centrism doesn't exist, it's right-wing politics with some lipstick and eyeshadow

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@thomasfuchs/116143024823038390
Software development these days really reminds me of what large political parties do—no shred of thinking about the whole, not even a little bit of conviction, just churning out mid ever more milquetoast "features" designed to eek out a little more compliance.
Moral stances and ethics be damned.

Living in a capitalist society makes me simultaneously hate and understand some things.
Back when the Sunday shopping ban was set in Poland by one of the right-wing parties (with some exceptions for petty capitalists, of course), I was outraged. Why are they forcing their religious customs on me?! But nowadays, I do realize that in a capitalist society, where employment laws are full of loopholes and employers explicitly punish employees for taking a day off, an obligatory no-business day is the only way.
On top of that, after living next to a supermarket for a few years… this is literally the only way to have a quiet day, without cars driving, and car doors slamming all the time. And of course night time deliveries, because you obviously can't lose day's business over such things.
And what I hate even more are these multi-day holidays and long weekends, where suddenly all my routine falls apart, and I can't really enjoy holidays while the train timetable is randomly punctuated. But then, I do realize that obligatory multi-day holidays are the only way for many people to simultaneously have a day off and be able to meet their families and friends.
I'm not really compatible with the world I'm living in.

I live in Bergen, Norway. I’m not a fan of political parties, and I really value living in shared, cooperative communities.
Lately, I’ve felt guilty for not taking part in the recent protests in solidarity with Rojava, I wish I’d done my part.
Don’t be like me, get out there, protest, support your community, and don’t stay quiet.
#Rojava

My inability to get a handle on the size of the crowd from inside the crowd is a metaphor for today writ large. In addition to the big downtown protest, there were multiple protests at the airport, clergy arrested for blocking the airport access road, at least two impromptu neighborhood protests I’m aware of near my house. There were food drives. There were street parties. Many businesses that were “closed” kept their doors open and offered free coffee, pancakes, warming spaces. Nobody really knows everything that happened.

My (Austrian) bank's online interface is rubbish (unless you download them every 3 months, you lose history data), but they do have other features I don't want to miss (online debit card use with TAN generator rather than app).

“Trump’s America is not merely indifferent to Europe – it’s positively hostile to it. That has enormous implications for the continent and for Britain, which too many of our leaders still refuse to face.

The motive hardly matters: whether the US regards the EU as an enemy for transactional or ideological reasons, it now sees it as an enemy.
