Noroña, silenciador en jefe Crecido en el estridentismo, el líder del Senado comienza a ponerle el pie a su propio partido

The president of the Mexican Senate, Noroña, rose to fame defending the working class—but he has changed.

Today, I’m writing about how he blames workers for their situation👇🏽

Quote: “For the Polish government, and for all democracy-minded legal actors in Europe, the legal and strategic solution has always been, and remains, to leverage international and EU standards.”

Restoring the rule of law in Poland without inflicting further damage on it is a vexing challenge.

JOHN MORIJN (@jmorijn.bsky.social) explains why the Venice Commission could have made this task even more complicated and sketches a way forward.

YouTube video by Alliance for Responsible Citizenship Why the West is waking up from a 70 year nap | Eric Weinstein [ARC 2025]

YouTube suggested this Eric Weinstein talk and I'm more depressed than ever. A wild mishmash that starts with anti-trans bigotry and emasculation fears (to frequent applause), concluding with...quantum gravity? I would laugh if people like this didn't rule the world.

There is a pending infringement action but for some mysterious reasons, the European Comm has failed to apply for interim measures... This is just a self-defeating strategy IMO. As if the Guardian of the (EU) Treaties is reluctant to do the job it was set up for while HU goes full authoritarian mode

Shortly before the elections, we wanted answers to this question 👇

Poland joins the Commission’s lawsuit against Orbán’s Foreign Agents Law—showing that the real threat to democracy isn’t Brussels, as Orbán claims, but those who erode it from within and serve Putin’s agenda.

𝗗𝘇𝗶𝗲̨𝗸𝘂𝗷𝗲𝗺𝘆, 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝘀𝗸𝗮! 💓

American Bar Association on Trump & Co: "These bold assertions, designed to intimidate judges by threatening removal if they do not rule the government's way, cross the line". On suggestions to disobey court orders: "These statements threaten the very foundation of our constitutional system"

Using a network of 15M users (56% of the platform) we find that the probability that the log-normal law is wrong wrt to the power-law is just ~7%

Why that matters? Pop 🧵 follows!

Congratulations!
Exciting news 🎊🔬

if you work on or with European Union law, here is a bit of hot-off-the-digital-press, open-access research. I look at the gaps between Curia and Eur-Lex to understand how much of a problem using only one is, especially in English. tldr: it's not trivial

I by no means support, condone, or endorse Chinese government! Yet any serious conversation of Climate Change has to take as an axiom per capita emissions, otherwise it denies human equality.

Is there a way we can leverage existing verification systems ? for instance there are institutional email accounts ? I think this would benefit the platform enormously.

I think that’s the hardest part.

When we realize some people genuinely spouse hatred, misogyny, and disregard for human dignity.

Hei Ian this chart does not reflect median voter, it shows percentage support based on political party.

So wrong conclusion drawn form this. Unless you do ideal points or map outcome variable as continuous you cannot infer this from the data.

Just wanted to let you know that I’m very glad to see you here!

I admire you very much.
