Proud to publish this piece from my former student, who writes that Russia's lawfare in the European Court of Human Rights is "transforming [it] into an unwitting accomplice in one of the most sophisticated disinformation operations of the modern era.”

Well nobody is stopping them or retaliating by blowing them out of the air space! So this is what you get. You got to stand up to a bully sooner or later or just keep handing over your lunch money! At the moment NATO is just handing over its lunch money sort of speak! #cdnpoli #eupoli #NATO

It CAN and WILL happen again if this keeps up. It already is.
The footage I’ve seen coming out of Germany of riot police straight up punching protesters. Like… the kind of punch that would break your nose severely. There’s so much of it.

While Western countries have been generous in supporting Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, their financial assistance can be used only for non-military purposes.

European armed forces are making the "major mistake" of focusing too much on equipment and not enough on training people to command them, says Fedir Serdiuk, the co-founder of MOWA Defence.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

My good God, reading about USA politics is both exhausting and scary.
Here in Australia, we should be both alert and alarmed.
Protect our precious and fragile democracy - with its checks and balances- to stop the contagion.

The overriding goal of too many journalists is to provide “balanced” coverage from a “neutral” position in equidistance to both sides. That framework is much easier to justify if you pretend to be dealing with “normal” politicians – as opposed to committed ideologues pursuing an extreme project.
