Turns out I made a little thread with my first, semi-informed, thoughts about this excellent news. Of course, we live in a century where almost every bad political event is followed by a short reprieve and an even worse political event after that, so... let's not celebrate too early!

FINALLY! The dysfunctional far-right government Schoof has effectively fallen, after Wilders pulled his party from the coalition. Importantly, this happens as his PVV is in a (free) fall and centrist parties PvdA/GL-CDA-D66 are polling at 40% together. But is VVD still liberal democratic party?

One of the most beautiful and powerful poems of queer defiance out there. Rita Mae Brown wrote "Sappho's Reply" in the aftermath of Stonewall, amid a wave of organizing and confrontation. It's the origin of the rallying cry "An army of lovers shall not fail/cannot lose." Needed now more than ever

Just changed my schedule around again. Staying in Vienna for weekend of 21-22 June, for some really low division #groundhopping and seeing @goodriddancesc.bsky.social again! Can't wait!

Hablo hoy en @ctxt.es con @casmudde.bsky.social. "Para mí, el caso de la Alemania nazi me parece menos instructivo para comprender el momento actual que, por ejemplo, las dictaduras militares de los años setenta en Latinoamérica". ctxt.es/es/20250601/...

Big set-back for Europe and Poland, which will keep Tusk government weak and thereby increase chances of (full) PiS return after next election.

I’ve had more passive smoking in the first few days in Vienna than in 17 years in the US. There, I found something positive about the US!

Nope! It’s not.

From Abu Dhabi to Qatar 🤷‍♂️
