Oui, mais on peut dire aussi peut-être que tout ce qu'on a dit d'une âge post-souverainiste avec le succès éléctoral de la CAQ restait sur une analyse trop court-termiste.

So do I, but I'm not sure simply affirming internatiinal law's continued relevance gets to the heart of things.

After more than 10 years of “the Danish Model”, nativism is hegemonic in the country, the far right polls near level highs again, and the Social Democrats lost Copenhagen and poll at historic low.

European Social Democrats should look at the facts, not the myths!

These are pretty standard arguments from jurists: violation of rules doesn't mean they don't exist; and large parts of intl activity are still rule-governed. Both are true but both look like consolation prizes.

It's telling that several of the collected articles place the US at the centre of the analysis but none of the articles deal directly with China.

Housing in Canada is a national crisis. Our plan takes homes back for people, not for profit.

We will protect tenants, build affordability, and create paths to ownership for tenants and young people.

Where America stands, one year after the election.

A fascistic movement controls the government; they are building an authoritarian state; but they have not been able yet to extend authoritarian rule across society. A democracy no more, but not a consolidated autocratic regime yet.

For no particular reason, reminding y'all that Brown U scholars estimate that U.S. led post-9/11 war & violence in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, & Pakistan from 2001-2023 resulted in a total death toll of at least 4.5-4.7 million people & counting, mostly Muslim civilians.

Still no WMDs though.🤔
