The widespread media decision to frame international affairs as "will Donnie get the prize he wants?" is pathetic.

He's not the protagonist of human events. And to the extent he's a significant character in world affairs, whether or not he gets a prize is one of the least important things about it.

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year:

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

Doing politics the right way is when the far-right regime in power memorializes a fallen influencer by terrorizing an academic that the influencer's McCarthyist organization once baselessly singled out for abuse.

White people are producing mass shooters at an incredible clip, and this is what they’re trying to do about it.

A White Christian nationalist pastor argued recently on a right-wing podcast that the Bible--specifically Deuteronomy 21, about how a father must bring his rebellious son to the town square to be stoned--justifies state violence against Black boys and young men.

Lietuvā neiet labi. Varam tikai iztēloties kas notiks pie mums tuvojoties vēlēšanām. Bet parāk daudz iztēles tam nevajag, jo Stambulas konvecijas pseidoproblēmas radīšana liecina ka procesi jau ir sākušies.

Pēdējo nedēļu notikumu kontekstā gribu palaist zilajās debesīs dažas domas par to, kāpēc mums vajag pretvardarbības konvenciju, nevis opozīcijas piedāvāto pretvardarbības likumu.

Ja gribi uzzināt, cik saprātīgs ir politiķis, pajautā, ko viņš domā par medijiem. Īsumā par demokrātijas un žurnālistikas kvalitātes izpratni. 🤠
P.S. Diemžēl akūts sociālo zinātņu trūkums politiķu retorikā ir kļuvusi par ikdienu.

Te drīzāk nav problēmas ar izpratni, bet gan ar Trampa putru, kuru daudzi vietējie politiķi, šķiet, ir saēdušies.

Viņi neteica, ka konvencija ir tikai papīra gabals? :) Un tagad tās vietā viņi piedāvā… wait for it… papīra gabalu? :)

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Šodien pie mums viesojās Rumānijas Valsts kancelejas ierēdņi. Skaudīgi dzirdēt, ka viņi izmantoja Atveseļošanās mehānismu dažādu nozaru reformām. Atgādināšu, ka mums tas tika politiski sadalīts partijām "kam pietrūkās fondos".

NA, AS un ZZS izstrādājušas deklarāciju pret vardarbību, kurā tostarp ņemts vērā Stambulas konvencijas tvērums attiecībā uz vardarbības izskaušanu. Konvencija slikta, no tās jāizstājas, bet vienlaikus laba, tās ideja jāsaglabā. Man salūza smadzenes.

Aizrādi šoferim, ja nejūties droši! Ar šādu aicinājumu sākusies kampaņa, kurā pasažierus lūdz nedrošās situācijās aizrādīt šoferim, jo ne tikai autovadītāji, bet arī blakus sēdošie pasažieri ir satiksmes dalībnieki, kas var ietekmēt satiksmes drošību.
