Important Observer article on Scientology harassment tactics. The same tactics have been used by Lighthouse International Group towards myself, @catrinnye.bsky.social and many others. This must be stopped. The UK police must step up. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

@ruthbenghiat.bsky.social Your explanation of what a dictator and dictatorship is with real world examples is amazing.

Eastern Europeans have a long record of deposing corrupt autocrats through peaceful protest. Let's see if the Serbs succeed for the second time in 25 years.

“Wellness Wild West” and predatory cult leaders are a match enabled by lack of industry regulation. And this is also an example of why we should consider amending existing coercive control legislation to also include group-settings. #cult #wellness #uk www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Dear US colleagues, In response to the Trump administration, my university @univ-amu.fr is setting up a new program dedicated to welcoming American scientists wishing to pursue their work in France. There are several M$ in the budget. www.univ-amu.fr/en/public/ac...

A brave and exposing story about growing up in the Rajneesh communes, detailing the cultural normalisation of sexual abuse perpetrated by adult members. To me, this new-age setting feels familiar with its lack of boundaries and accountability. And the word “juicy” will forever make me want to barf.

EU har ikkje for vane å jobba særleg fort, men no er dei i gang med å byggja ein ny tryggleiksinfrastruktur for kontinentet. Dette burde Noreg vore del av.

As a relatively naive Northern European, I firmly support this direction, and find that Donald Tusk’s deep understanding of the Russian threat makes for credible and clear leadership at a time when we ought to pay particularly close attention to lessons from Polish and Eastern European history.

This point stands out to me as fundamental, and evokes cult memories of the inexplicable dynamics that arise when in a ‘shared unreality’. “Trump, Vance, and many of the people around them now fully inhabit an alternative reality, one composed entirely of things they see and hear in the ether.”

We need to make sure that Russia doesn’t attack again. And for that, we need to put political and economic pressure on Russia to stop this war, and at the same time, also help Ukraine defend itself. Extract from my interview at 'Face The Nation' ↓

Ivan Krastev to Europeans: "What kind of failure the Trumpian revolution will be, we do not know. But what history teaches us is that the best strategy is not to resist the revolutionaries but to hijack their revolution."

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

As an American and a faculty member at the university that awarded Vance a law degree, I want to express my deepest shame to President Zelensky and all Ukrainians for the disgraceful behavior of the American president and vice-president.

Reality vs unreality politics is where it’s fundamentally at. Timothy Snyder effectively distills this message at a time when it feels very very urgent. #unrealitypolitics

First an SPD chancellor who completely clung to US leadership and refused to do anything to support Ukraine without the US. Now a (likely) CDU chancellor who says Europe needs to decouple from the US. What a time to be alive

On the strategic use of spectacle, imagery, symbolism and language to facilitate an authoritarian shift. In other words, propaganda, as it operates now; ever-present, and increasingly hard to not internalise or normalise. #Propaganda #LoadedLanguage #howitworks

Yup. Dissemination of quality research on this would be helpful before every helping profession + school in the UK become uncritical ambassadors of mindfulness and meditation. It’s been a post-cult frustration of mine to watch these practices be so easily enshrined into the mainstream.

The hour requires decisive actions, establishing a real alternative strategy for the war, with clear objectives, resourced appropriately. If no one else takes the lead, the NB8 group should do so. Together, backed by Norwegian financial muscles, I think this could be possible.
