This Is What the End of the Liberal World Order Looks Like In a post-American world, greed and nihilism are destroying Sudan.

Earlier this year, I made two trips to Sudan, where a terrible civil war has displaced 14 million people. The state is absent, international institutions are weak.Outside powers, motivated by greed and nihilism, have stepped into the vacuum

In Kyiv, participants in the rally for the restoration of NABU and SAP independence honored fallen Ukrainian soldiers with a moment of silence.

Yusuf Al-Labbad walked into the Umayyad Mosque alive — and left as a corpse.

The official story? He “hit his head on hard objects” by himself in a guarded room.

No cameras. No witnesses. No medical report.

This wasn’t suicide.
It’s state violence — again.

How Syrian attackers killed: One hand on the gun, another on the camera Reuters verified three videos in which gunmen wearing military fatigues carried out the execution-style killings of 12 unarmed Druze civilians in southern Syria earlier this month. The footage was filmed by the killers themselves or people accompanying them.

SNHR says 1,013 people killed since July 13, including 47 women, 26 children, six medical personnel.

Not clear how many were fighters or civilians, SNHR says. Victims were mainly Druze. Vast majority died after the army’s arrival led to a sharp increase in fighting.

Public service media are not relics of the past. They are not slow dinosaurs in the age of TikTok. They can be the strongest pillar of media resilience if given independence, stability, and strategic development.

Intéressant de voir qu'une partie conséquente de l'opposition russe est en mode full fasciste assumé sur Gaza. Ils crachent sur les médias occidentaux, appellent à la haine, l'éradication des palestiniens, crient aux fake news à chaque crime de guerre. À faire passer les Z blogueurs pour des anges.

EU and US agree trade deal, with 15% tariffs for European exports to America US President Donald Trump and EU chief Ursula von der Leyen confirm the deal after

Ursula von der Leyen will have some explaining to do. Providing Trump such a triumph contributes to the expansion of illiberalism. Appeasing autocrats never works

La façon dont l'Europe s'est couchée devant les caprices de Trump est assez scandaleuse.

All These Stories About Trump Making the Epstein Files a Winning Issue Have a Funny Thing in Common Is Trump really turning the tables on this one?

The Times, Post, CNN, and Politico all ran stories this weekend or this morning about Trump getting his base back behind him on Epstein. The most prominent source cited to justify this claim _in all four publications_ was Steve Bannon. slate.com/news-and-pol...

The images and messages coming out of Gaza are so distressing. People are being deliberately starved to death by Israel and then shot at when they try to get food to survive.
It's an abomination that the world's governments are allowing this to happen.
Open the borders!

«Un choc terrible» : le monde chrétien bouleversé par une frappe israélienne contre l’unique église catholique de Gaza Au moins deux personnes ont été tuées ce jeudi 17 juillet par une attaque israélienne contre l’église de la Sainte-Famille, la seule institution catholique de l’enclave. Le pape Léon XIV s’est dit «pr...

L'indignation qui accompagne les trois morts du bombardement de l'église de Gaza illustre un atroce double standard. Une vie est une vie. Toute hiérarchisation est indécente.

New Russian law criminalizes online searches for controversial content Russia previously criminalized sharing such content, but with officials saying censorship during wartime is justified, restrictive digital laws are being tightened.

La Russie punit désormais d'une amende de 60€ le fait de chercher le mot "LGBT" ou tout autre mot "extrémiste" sur internet.

À la suite des récentes violences en Syrie, des militants ainsi que des figures civiles, sociales et politiques issues de différentes régions appellent à l’adoption collective de revendications nationales urgentes, destinées à rassembler tous les Syriens, sans exclusion.

Accusations portées pour crimes commis sous Assad : le siège de famine de Yarmouk.

Plot with the evolution of vote share for CH: 1.3% to 7.28 % to 18.06% to 22.08%

The Portuguese far right party CH has been growing spectacularly, shattering views of the country as immune to this phenomenon.

This has prompted a discussion about where their votes come from.

Some thoughts on this, prompted by newly released survey data:

Cherry picking et lecture complètement biaisée de littérature scientifique.

Quand le pseudo-expert de l'expertise et de la Science™ justifie sa collaboration avec l'extrême droite en faisant de la pseudo-science.

J'ai jeté un coup d'œil curieux.

D'emblée, la première source ne semble pas exister 🙃 (c'est pas la seule).
Et les deux suivantes ne soutiennent pas trop le propos.

L'auteur prétend “rendre compte de l’état de la littérature scientifique”… Mais ça a surtout des relents de pseudo-science. 🧵

1/ Igor 'Strelkov' Girkin is, perhaps unsurprisingly, gloomy about the prospects for Russia's push into the Sumy region. He says that the war is turning into a "grand mess" which may become "tragically analogous" to the course of events in World War I. ⬇️

There is no 'remembering Srebrenica' without remembering the basic political reality that the West rewarded the perpetrators with almost half of Bosnian territory. The genocide is not resolved, it's not the past. The sheer existence of 'RS' is a continuation of the genocide.
