Wow! DIe Linke does much better than expected, while both CDU and AfD fall below symbolically important 30% and 20%, respectively. FDP might still make it, BSW less likely. Grand Coalition is possible but narrow margins... #BTW25 #GermanElection

Read this urgent op-ed by @jwmueller-pu.bsky.social in the @theguardian.com Things are no longer “pretty normal” So we need to start acting like we truly believe in, and value the pretty important things we are trying to defend

"...standard tactics – and the kind of consultant advice that ...worked for Clinton in the 90s – have a real drawback: they communicate that...things are still pretty normal. Citizens take cues from elites. If elites act normally, why should everyone else be that concerned?" Guardian column:

Not much going right in the world at the moment, when you care about protecting liberal democracy Knowing that rule of law defenders like @michalwawrykiewicz.bsky.social sit in the EP & will continue pushing for the issue to remain top of mind within the EU should give all European citizens hope

Protect our media against the manipulation from US tech giants. Unusual full page ad in national newspapers from stage/ theatre magnate Joop vd Ende. With a political plea to bolster public service broadcasting, allow for strong commercial media to have a civilized media landscape and country.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

Nobody wants this war to end more than Ukrainians do. It’s our homes that get attacked with drones every night. It’s our friends who get killed in battle. It’s our youth that’s been stolen by this war. But we understand that any compromise with Russia won’t be the end of the war.

READ EVERY LETTER: America is on the cusp of competitive authoritarianism. The Trump administration has already begun to weaponize state institutions and deploy them against opponents. The Constitution alone cannot save U.S. democracy ↘️ www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

Adrian Vermeule: “the separation of powers violates the separation of powers”

submitted 14 days ago • 3 comments

Just to say the quiet part out loud, the point of having unelected judges in a democracy is so that whether acts of state are “legitimate” can be decided by someone other than the people who are undertaking them. Vermeule knows this, of course. So does Vance.

Norms don't just "erode;" democracies don't just "slide." It's conscious destruction and direction. Actors have agency. Which means: One can hold particular people accountable. "Processes," not so much.

Lviv, 28 januari 2025 Een veld naast de officiële begraafplaats (die vol raakte). Hier liggen Oekraïense soldaten uit de omgeving Lviv die sinds 2022 het leven lieten bij de verdediging van hun land (voorlopig) begraven, 70 kilometer van de grens met Polen/de EU. Bijzonder indrukwekkend.
