The problem didn't start with Trump, and it won't end after Trump.

I wrote about how Iranian women have pushed back the regime and are close to winning the battle over mandatory Hijab.

The mandatory veiling of women was once a pillar of the Islamic Republic. Now it’s almost gone.

Now this is how you detect whether an election was stolen. Humans choose rounder numbers.

by @TheEconomist

A scatter plot titled "Fair and square? Russian federal elections, 2000-21" which visualizes the results of Russian federal elections. The x-axis represents voter turnout in percentage, ranging from 0 to 100%. The y-axis represents the percentage of votes for Putin, Medvedev, or the United Russia party, also ranging from 0 to 100%. Each dot on the plot represents a polling station. A cluster of dots appears in the upper right corner, indicating high voter turnout and a high percentage of votes for the specified candidates. A dashed rectangle highlights a grid-like pattern of dots at numbers ending in zero and five, with an annotation suggesting this pattern indicates potential foul play. The source is cited as Kobak and Shpilkin (2021).

I stumbled across this visual shared by @DKThomp who commented that this chart explains a lot about the New York City Mayoral election. He is spot on. Young people around many Western economies feel the system isn't working for them. They will obviously vote for solution that break the system.

Ce que je conclus de la lecture de votre article c'est que le problème est surtout la faiblesse des syndicats. En conséquence de cette faiblesse, la gauche a fait de la redistribution par les allocations, alors que les Français estiment que la redistribution devrait se faire par le salaire.

Zohran Mamdani’s policies in the domain of housing, childcare or transports are not radical or ‘socialist’. They have been implemented by mainstream governments and cities across the world.

Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’

Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given

I agree with you, but I also think men should refrain from giving their opinion on this issue. We should let the women debate it amongst themselves.

What Zohran Mamdani pulled off in New York is already reshaping strategy on Europe’s left. From affordability to optimism to grassroots power: his surprise victory shows what happens when politics gets practical, joyful, and rooted in community.

You have to replace the nuclear material in nuclear warheads every 20 years. In some warheads every 5 years. It's a big for why reason nuclear arsenals are so expensive. I am willing to bet Russia didn't do that, and most of their arsenal is gone.

Tactical voting worked last year in France but in UK it will be harder because of "first past the post" system. To do tactical voting, voters will have to trust polling institutes, which are very often wrong for local elections.
