I'm in Europe, which means it's very important to shield me from dangerous information online

Insane infringement on the First Amendment, brought to you by the same people who constantly pontificate about how they’re restoring Free Speech

What happened to basic principles of democracy? I loathe ultra-rightists like Georgescu. But I demand that we, progressives, defeat his like at the ballot box. The EU is now under the thumb of Totalitarian Centrists, the ultra-Right's greatest sponsors. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Watching a grad student with a Green Card be summarily detained by ICE -- for the crime of organizing campus protests against Israel's war on Gaza -- shows how rapidly this radical free speech attack in the US to protect Israel is escalating. He's been charged with no crime.

For an administration that claims to be "shocked" by Europe's overly censorial approach to free speech, this seems like a very European, and very un-American policy.

Remember when the Hillary Clinton campaign, with the help of the FBI and CIA, framed Trump, his campaign associates, and many other political opponents as Russian assets? The Trump White House is following a similar playbook in detaining and deporting a Palestinian permanent

I've seen relatively little coverage on this topic but geo-strategically speaking Starlink is one of the most important developments of the 21st century so far. Basically what we're talking about is a private American firm - whose owner is now part of the U.S. government - that

No Ishaan Tharoor, it's not a victory: it just further highlights that there are no rules in that "rules-based" order. When these so-called "rules" always punish some - often fundamentally for simply daring to put their country on a different geopolitical path away from the West

Is it the position of the Trump administration that it could deport Canadian citizens in the US protesting Trump's punitive tariffs and desire to include Canada in the US? Ukrainians protesting the Trump administration's policy reversal on Ukraine? Could I as a Danish citizen be

Do progressives bashing Trump II over the stock market and consumer prices understand that. . . . Industrial policy (which they claim they want) means: (a) emphasizing the real economy over the financial economy; and (b) getting the country to consume less and produce more ?

If you didn't speak out against *both* woke censorship and Trump's attempts to suppress criticism of Israel at universities, you're not a genuine free speech advocate. You're just a partisan hack who pretends to care about free speech when it suits you.

The flip side is that if business class passengers depart standard airplanes for supersonic craft; the economics of normal aviation fall apart. Without their cross subsidy, we then get Spirit Airlines and other budget carriers everywhere

If you proclaim yourself the True and Sole Guardian of Democracy, but you can't win elections, everyone knows what democracy requires: You just ban your most popular opponents from running, strike them from the ballot, and guarantee the establishment's "electoral" victory:

I'm seeing many terrible takes on Le Pen by people who obviously don't know the first thing about what happened, so here's a summary that's as neutral as I could make it. Consider reading it first before arguing one way or another. After a legal saga that dragged on since 2015,

The issue isn’t whether Le Pen is guilty of the charges — which, to be clear, don’t involve “embezzlement” in the traditional sense of stealing money for personal gain, but rather that some of her aides in the European Parliament also worked for the party outside of parliamentary

A political movement can spend a decade demanding no more wars in the Middle East -- so resources can be used at home instead for Americans -- but the minute you show them video of 30 Arabs blown up and dubiously claim they're terrorists, many will say: "hell yeah! kill more!"

One of the things I appreciate about America is that when the federal government attacks free speech there's instant pushback by civil society. People take to the streets. In Europe free speech has been in steep decline for years, but there's no real public outcry, no mainstream

Man kann die AfD für gefährlich halten und das Vorgehen des Verfassungsschutzes und der Ministerin ebenso. Es ist erstaunlich wie schnell vermeintlich aufgeklärte Zeitgenossen, die sich gerne als Verteidiger der liberalen Demokratie inszenieren, darüber hinweggehen, dass der

You realize now that the media could have been saying this the whole time, and editorial boards at papers like The New York Times and The Washington Post can publish the same thing right now. It’s a choice. They haven’t been “neutral” through 19 months of genocide, they’ve been complicit.
