Clearly.

Can someone do a top 10 (or 50?)? Surely that Azerbaijan one would qualify?

I mean this one alone. 💀https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3mf7vnyetia2o

I wonder how many "most embarrassing 20 seconds of television" JD Vance is able to count coming out of that Board of Peace meeting.

I'm just a girl desperate for editors of academic journals to stop delegating what should have been obvious desk rejects to peer-reviewers already. /rant

As Tumbler Ridge Mourns, Anti-Trans Misinfo Spreads | The Tyee No good will come from the conservative rush to weaponize the shooter’s identity in this story.

The response to the #TumblerRidgeShooting from far-right media, online commentators and even an elected official in Canada is another dark example of how pervasive anti-trans misinformation has become, even in Canada.

Mel Woods writes. #bcpoli #bced

Déclassement C’est un «ordre des choses» sous attaque qui alimente le mouvement MAGA, pas l’économie.

"C’est la poutre dans l’œil de ceux qui ont excusé le trumpisme par l’économie. Si la peur d’être financièrement précaire justifie le populisme autocrate, voire la violence politique, pourquoi les femmes afro-américaines ne sont-elles pas les premières à succomber à la tentation fascisante ?"

ICE is terrorizing Americans — Canada must not be complicit From shutting down ICE offices to cancelling corporate contracts, Canadians have real power to stand in solidarity with those targeted by Trump’s secret police

This is an important point.

Empathy—in and of itself—is anti-fascist.

The arts—and the project of higher education as a whole—teach empathy, enabling you to put yourself in other people’s shoes.

So to a fascist, they must be destroyed.

Someone remind me what Greek sources had to say about people living in the north and west of Europe.

And here I thought #notallmen. Which one is it? I'm confused...

In the last days, there has been an unprecedented attack targeting investigative journalists trying to seize their Signal accounts. This has gone largely unreported. I have been repeatedly targeted by phishing, and I learned that also colleagues from other outlets were targeted, with the attackers unfortunately managing to compromise at least one colleague’s account. What’s worrying: this doesn’t seem like an isolated case. A broader wave is apparently hitting journalists (and some civil society actors) via Signal. How it works: Attackers message you on Signal pretending to be “Signal Support,” warning about “suspicious activity,” and urging you to “re-verify” your account. Once you accept the chat, you receive a real Signal SMS verification code, because the attacker is actively trying to register your number on a new device. If you share that code, you’re handing them the keys. Signal’s extra protection is the Signal PIN. If an attacker also tricks you into giving up your PIN (or you don’t have strong protections enabled), they can see your contacts and networks, potentially join chats going forward, and lock you out by changing settings. Quick protections worth doing today: - Signal will never contact you via a two-way in-app support chat. Treat those messages as hostile. - Never share SMS codes, Signal PIN, or anything called “registration lock.” - Turn on Registration Lock (Settings → Account → Registration Lock). - If you see a “safety number changed” alert: verify the person via a different channel (call/video), not just Signal text. - Report + block suspicious requests, and review linked devices. If you work with sensitive sources: this isn’t just about losing an account, it’s about exposing networks. Please share this with colleagues who rely on Signal day-to-day.

WARNING, fellow journalists: As @nicoschmidt.io explains, attackers are trying to hijack reporters' Signal accounts by tricking people into handing over their 2FA codes. www.linkedin.com/posts/nicosc...

M'kay.

Carney said what critical voices - and most of the non-West - have being saying for years: the rules-based order is structurally unjust and unequal - and is decaying as a result.

Carney didn't say anything new. But he has granted the mainstream the ability to voice & accept this reality.

Tracking job cuts in the federal public service Workforce adjustment notifications have hit thousands of employees across dozens of government departments and agencies.

If I were a PM who had delivered a seminal speech on the global rupture and the need for new relations with the world, I probably wouldn’t send hundreds of layoff notices to my foreign affairs department the next day

"Stop making everything about gender."

I wish the world would stop spinning for a minute so I can catch my breath...I'm dizzy.

Damn, that's a good speech.

I've got a lot of thoughts to sort out about this, as I prepare to give a talk on the crisis of international order at @queenspols.bsky.social next week - my inaugural lecture as the Hardy Chair of Political Science.

I *might* come back here and share some later.

The Oligarchs Pushing for Conquest in Greenland Trump’s fixation on filching the island territory from Denmark may seem like the demented ravings of a mad king. But to a cohort of plutocrat weirdos, it makes perfect sense.

"Greenland isn’t only a treasure trove for [...] oligarchic forces to mine or to extract. It’s also a place for experimentation [...] in how to create a world in which all of these oligarchic figures’ utopian (or dystopian, for the rest of us) fantasies can come true."

ICI Radio-Canada Toronto had a panel on it this morning. Among other things, they said François Arnaud really wanted to do it but his manag team was sceptical re: how a "soft porn" Canadian niche series would help his international/US career. He ditched them and did it anyway.

OH!!! Amazing. Had no idea. And this 100% aligns with a project I'm working on right now so I'll file watching this under "research". I'm on sabbatical afterall. 😆

I've been meaning to block time to binge this series and you just added decisively to the incentive structure. :D

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Reuters: Two European officials assess U.S. military intervention is likely—possibly within 24 hours. An Israeli official says Trump appears to have decided to intervene, though scope and timing remain unclear.
