Oś zła raczej się nie zmieniła, ona nadal istnieje. Zmieniło się to, że Stany Zjednoczone zdecydowanie nie są już "arsenałem demokracji". Europejczycy muszą uświadomić sobie jedną rzecz: dzisiejszej Ameryce nie wolno ufać pod żadnym pozorem. @wpwiadomosci.bsky.social

"You are brazenly violating the law every hour or every day. . . .Sending migrants with pending asylum claims into a war zone just because it's cruel is so deeply disturbing." Thank you @chrismurphyct.bsky.social for your eloquence, directness, and moral clarity 🙏

"Autocrats rarely entrench themselves in power through force alone; they are enabled by the accommodation and inaction of those who might have resisted. Appeasement, as Churchill warned, is like feeding a crocodile and hoping to be the last one eaten."- @lucanway.bsky.social @dziblatt.bsky.social

I am delighted to see Prof. Slobodan Markovich, an astute observer of Serbia and one of the people who made Belgrade home to me, on @timothysnyder.bsky.social's Substack with a fantastic elucidation of Serbia's protests – and why they merit our measured optimism. snyder.substack.com/p/the-studen...

We try to expose what’s hidden, but that is perhaps a 20th c. method better suited for 20th c. fascisms. Today much more threatening than whatever remains concealed is what has been normalized. Europeans keep asking me, disbelievingly: but can this really be happening in America?

Nous essayons de révéler ce qui est caché, mais c’est peut-être une méthode du XXe siècle, qui convient mieux aux fascismes du XXe siècle. Aujourd’hui, ce qui est normalisé est bien plus menaçant que ce qui reste caché.

I can only hope that someone like Jon Stewart at @thedailyshow.com brilliantly juxtaposes this tweet with the Trump-Gaza video. It calls for a whole new genre of political satire.

Read what was done to this young journalist in Russian captivity. And then think about what it means for Trump to look at Zelensky and say to Americans: "You see the hatred he's got for Putin. It's very tough for me to make a deal with that kind of hatred. He's got tremendous hatred.”

This is why just handing over Ukrainian territory to Putin is not morally viable: it means handing over human beings to a reign of terror. Ukrainian soldiers are fighting so that Ukrainians are not tied to boards and tortured with electric shocks.

I really wish reporters would stop saying that there is an effort by the Trump administration to combat antisemitism. It is quite the opposite. There is an effort to foment antisemitism. forward.com/fast-forward...

Ce régime se fiche de protéger les juifs. Il se fiche des juifs. Il se fiche de tout le monde. Il se fiche des gens. C’est ce qui donne carte blanche à des gens comme Poutine et Trump. Si la vie des autres n’a aucune valeur à vos yeux, vous n’avez aucune contrainte.

Je peux comprendre pourquoi Hegel et Marx ont captivé les gens. Mais là, on se trouve en réalité face à un abîme nihiliste. On se dit qu’il n’y a même pas l’illusion qu’il existe des valeurs réelles. Et pourtant, cela fonctionne quand même sur les gens.

This essay was especially important to me--an act of communing with two searing writers across time and space, death and generations. With special gratitude to @stanislavaseyev.bsky.social for being my--and Lev Shestov's--interlocutor even, and literally, from the trenches.
