Can the “Red Wave” Stop Austerity in Finland?
Last Sunday’s local and regional elections in Finland saw a big defeat for the hard-right Finns Party. Its leader called the gains for left-wing parties a “red wave” — but it’s less clear that this will halt the government’s austerity agenda.

Framing social issues as 'civil rights' can sometimes backfire
Framing is a powerful tool in communications: It can help people grasp complex ideas, but it can also distort or mislead. A recent sociological study suggests that framing social issues as "civil rights" can sometimes have surprising and even negative consequences.

This is a good analysis of what's happening in America, right now.

The best proof of how the modern #democracy works is how often people support initiatives going against their own interest. In particular, whenever they vote for politicians that openly claim that these people should not have the right to vote.

Politics, elections — idea
How about we ban candidate banners entirely? Like, they can campaign any way they want, but they can't put these smiling nazi faces all over the place, and then leave lots of junk.

Jean-Luc Mélenchon: “We Need a New Civic Morality”
As he visits the US for the first time, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of La France Insoumise, writes about the collapse of triumphal capitalist narratives and sets out an alternative vision for humanity that can save us from a dystopian future.

I've started making a concerted effort to avoid using the terms "left" and "right" when talking about #politics.
Calling politicians/parties by more specific names (for example, social democrats, liberals, conservatives, fascists, corporatists, etc) makes everything far more clear and prevents so much confusion.

Remember when George W claimed in 2003 that we needed to invade and occupy Iraq despite any evidence of bioweapons labs because he claimed that they were in RVs, traveling around desert? Mango Mussolini is giving a similar energy, here.

The irony is if the Twitter Nazi splits the Republican Party in two to make a National Republican Party to counter #TheAmericanFascist Republicans “Big Beautiful Bill” then that could open up more room for the Democratic Socialists to make their own party split from the Democrats and all of a sudden the USA could have 4 viable parties. Imagine that. A multiparty system! The most democratic shift in the US Congress since 1776?! Initiated by a 21st Century Fascist.
But of course… that’s way too optimistic…

Can Zohran Mamdani Expand the Left’s Base?
As Zohran Mamdani mounts a surging campaign for NYC mayor, his bid is becoming a model to replicate for the next wave of the US left. Can he expand his appeal to working-class demographics the Left has so far struggled to reach?

"In Boston, between 1709 and 1713, townspeople protested vigorously and then took extralegal action when Andrew Belcher, a wealthy merchant, refused to stop exporting grain during a bread shortage in the city...he chose to export grain to the Caribbean, at a handsome profit, rather than sell it for a smaller profit to hungry townspeople, his ships were attacked and his warehouses emptied by an angry crowd...Bostonians of meagre means learned that through concerted action, the powerless could become powerful, if only for the moment. Wealthy merchants who would not listen to pleas from the community could be forced through collective action to subordinate profits to the public need."
- Gary B. Nash, "Social Change and the Growth of Prerevolutionary Urban Radicalism" in The American Revolution (ed. Alfred F. Young, Northern Illinois University Press, 1976), pg. 11

New study challenges assumptions linking racial attitudes and political identity in U.S. cities
Nearly 40% of U.S. cities analyzed in a study in NPJ Complexity diverge from the common narrative that Republican-dominated areas have high levels of implicit racial bias while Democratic strongholds are more tolerant.

This repugnant tax bill that the GOP is trying to push through will hopefully be the end of the GOP.

At this moment, who do you believe most likely to use a nuclear weapon in their current conflict?
I put India and Pakistan together because one would likely trigger the other and because I only had four slots.
