Given the current state of the contest, I honestly wonder whether there will be any entries at all. But yeah, Canada joining would seal its fate as part of the „progressive“ club, especially if the US isn’t allowed to compete.

Vor 25 Jahren stürzte die Protestbewegung Milošević – ein Symbol für Hoffnung und Wandel. Diskutiere mit beim EuropaCafé mit @krstorevic.bsky.social @philinebickhardt.bsky.social @openlybiased.bsky.social @ballaballa-balkan.bsky.social

Netanyahus Schweizer Kreuzritter
Wie evangelikale Christen für die Interessen der israelischen Regierung lobbyieren.
„Das israelische Lobbying ist eine Konstante in der Schweizer Politik der letzten Jahre. Doch Ende 2017 hat sich die Position der Lobbyisten entschieden verändert. Denn seither wissen sie: Der Chef des Aussenministeriums ist einer von ihnen“ @republik.ch

Zelenskyy did it.
And with that signature over eleven years of a conflict that has clearly been between an authoritarian, imperial power and a democratising nation, striving for self-determination
dramatically changed course.
A huge blow to 1000s who died for this cause.

Extraordinary scenes in Kyiv and Lviv tonight as young protestors defy martial law to protest against govt destruction of the independence of the country’s anti corruption agencies. First mass protest in Kyiv since martial law. This still from Ukraine Pravda video on X.

Unbegreiflich: Die politische Führung der Ukraine ist gerade dabei hart erkämpfte Reformen zurückzudrehen und über Jahre mühsam erarbeitete Strukturen zu zerschlagen. Die westlichen Partner dürfen hier nicht länger schweigen.

„Stop emulating right-wing populist parties. Instead go back to good old welfare policies“
That’s the main conclusion from our 3 year Horizon project on anti-gender politics.
We can say with confidence now that these parties do not tap into gender-based needs mainstream parties neglect.

Russia is paying schoolgirls to have babies. Why is pronatalism on the rise around the world?
Public opinion is split in Russia over a new move to pay schoolgirls who have babies.
On point @jgmaber.bsky.social „The world’s most prosperous states would be embracing immigration if pronatalist policies were driven solely by the need to ensure a sufficient workforce to support the economy and society“ @theconversation.com

Open letter to world leaders from jailed Russian dissidents
Here is the text of a joint letter from 11 jailed Russian dissidents, issued to international leaders via Reuters.
In a letter to world leaders, 11 jailed Russian dissidents call for a mass release of political prisoners and Ukrainian civilians held by Russia. “There are at least 10,000 of us […] We are all punished for one thing — for taking a civic stance.” www.reuters.com/world/open-l...

Why do authoritarian-leaning leaders target women’s and LGBTQ+ rights? Is there a systematic pattern that reaches beyond individual country cases, and how is this reflected in people’s attitudes and societal norms?
