SCOOP: Sources tell me Donald Trump's name was added to the exterior of the US Institute of Peace building ahead of Thursday's peace agreement signing between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which will be held inside the building. Confirming if it's been officially renamed.

Once a leader on climate action, the EU has given in to the right’s green-bashing. From deforestation to carbon pricing, vital policies are being watered down in the name of ‘competitiveness’. But Europe is shooting itself in the foot. My piece @theguardian.com

Almost universal across the west. Voters have never had it so good. But they feel more was promised. And isn't just the cost but the difficulties of life, and the sense of a class that doesn't face these.

Two very telling graphs on the effects of social media on the public conversation - one from @skynewsrss.bsky.social showing how X is amplifying right-wing politics in the UK, one from Germany showing how TikTok is enhancing far-right _and_ far-left content.

Part of free speech is that no one is obligated to listen to you. Not listening is in itself a form of speech!
I’ve been extremely online since I was 8, and that experience has led me to pretty strongly believe that being able to choose not to engage socially with people in public settings - which includes the Internet - for ANY REASON is a fundamental human right

Eppure nel 2014 lo stesso Sachs descriveva Maidan come una “rivolta di massa contro un regime corrotto” e la Russia come una “grave violatrice del diritto internazionale”. Oggi sostiene l’esatto contrario. Cosa è cambiato?

How much clearer can Zagreb and Belgrade's shared malign agenda towards Bosnia be made than "Dodik's US lobbyist is advocating for Covic's third entity."
And if you're wondering if this "third entity" thing has ever been tried before? Yeah, it has.
