"On a 2018 visit to the Balkans, Marocco secretly met with officials...working for years to defy their nation’s constitution and undermine the American-backed peace deal in an effort to promote a Christian Bosnian Serb state." www.propublica.org/article/usai...

This is fascism.

If you've ever used the Polity data, read this from Monty Marshall. tl;dr Polity is coding recent US events as an executive self-coup and an adverse regime change.

Treasury folks: Call FBI Washington Field Office. Report an intrusion into the agency’s system. Let them know what you are seeing. Use a burner phone if you have to. It is better than nothing (screenshot from www.crisesnotes.com/day-five-of-...)

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

If we replaced “Bosnia” and “Sarajevo” with any other atrocity site, would Baudrillard’s critique still hold? No Pity for Sarajevo (1996) argued that Western engagement with suffering is more about moral absolution than real intervention. 1/2

Shot from Serbian regime TV shows US Amb Hill on the back of a Serbian govt bus, seated behind Pres Vucic & Deputy PM, to speak at a highway opening. A stark illustration of how much of a pawn Hill has become for Vucic’s regime. A humiliating scene for State Dept & Biden’s failed admin.

The best investigative news media outlet in Bosnia and Herzegovina, @istragab.bsky.social, is now on Bluesky. Give them a follow, especially today, when its editor in chief is the target of death threats by transnational criminal clans. Journalism is not a crime; it is integral to democracy.

"It is time we drop all the euphemisms that help Israel shield itself from accountability and start calling what’s happening in Gaza what it is: a genocide." — #AJOpinion by Othman Moqbel ⤵️

Plenkovic’s govt has taken an increasingly reactionary & revisionist position twd 🇧🇦, its constit reform process but also re: history of 🇭🇷 aggression vs 🇧🇦 during the 90s. 🇪🇺 ignores such radicalism among a member state at its own peril, I tell “Slobodna Bosna”. www.slobodna-bosna.ba/vijest/38795...

New comic, EURO TRIP, now up at @jewishcurrents.bsky.social: jewishcurrents.org/euro-trip First panel:

Israel is allying to ISIS affiliated criminal gangs to starve Gaza. You can read about this in the Israeli press. Why isn't this splashed on front pages in the West? New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/israel-all...
