Welp, now seems a good a time as any to unequivocally state that I am an anti-fascist and that I oppose any form of authoritarianism from the right, left, or center.
We cannot allow supposed threats of being labeled as terrorists cow us into silence!

Reuters reports that the U.S. has threatened to cut intel sharing and weapons supplies for Ukraine to press it into agreeing to Trump's 28-point plan. Sources say Kyiv is "under greater pressure from Washington than during any previous peace discussions." Trump wants it signed by Thursday.

Fidesz underestimated opposition leader Péter Magyar so much that they realized too late that he posed a real threat to them. Direkt36 reveals how Viktor Orbán launched his spring offensive against Magyar and how this caused tensions within the government.

I cannot recommend the YurtJurt podcast enough.
Not only does it shine a light on a region often neglected (and even mocked at times), it also brings unique perspectives from fascinating intellectuals.
It is also a great listen for those who see the limits of borders and the nation state.

Less radical ≠ "moderate"
There’s a rift in the Italian far-right League, a party at the heart of Giorgia Meloni’s coalition government, as moderate Luca Zaia becomes a figurehead for opposition to the right-wing populism of firebrand Deputy PM Matteo Salvini.

Between a devastating corruption scandal and an unfavorable peace plan from 🇺🇸, it has been a rough week for 🇺🇦. Possibly one of the most challenging since the war began in 2022.

While this is great news, any bill that makes it past the Sejm, Senat, and Nawrocki will be severely watered down and be the BARE minimum. Also disappointing that only around 30% think civil partnerships should be fully equal to marriage. 🇵🇱🏳️🌈

The recent news of Democrats seemingly caving to Republicans poses an often under-discussed issue - even though the Republics are incredibly unpopular, that might be countered by the Democrats being rejected by their base due to their perceived incompetency.
