Brutal and compelling. #Cuba

The thing is, leaving Cuba isn’t something without haste, in fact it’s the exact opposite, a great urgency and people are losing patience.

If you've been following the Jason Aldean story & think he reps country music, DON'T. My @NewYorker story this week is all about the other side of Nashville—a wild, varied, joyfully creative community of country-music artists, fighting for a better TN: https://t.co/AhT2LJs9J0

Russische Fake-News-Kampagne auf Twitter, an einem Beispiel.

Unter Tweets von @CarloMasala1 sind mir Spam-Tweets von Bots aufgefallen, die auf Hetz-Artikel gegen Bundesregierung und NATO auf Websites mit kryptischen Namen verweisen.

Denen bin ich mal nachgegangen: 🧵

The keep telling us Brexit is done, that we need to move on. But Brexit is not done with US. It wasn’t a disabling event. It’s a degenerative disease, there’s more to come, and I decline to shut up about it. My @ObsFood column a few days early. https://t.co/yt0T7GClp6

Checking in first time at the renovated @Reagan_Airport. This is somehow supposed to be more efficient?? Not impressed. Cc @AmericanAir

El experto en Ciencia Política y escritor @tunkuv hace en @WSJBooks una reseña muy acertada del libro que @michaelreid52 ha escrito sobre España. Frente a nuestra afición al autoflagelo, la evolución de España desde 1978 ha sido una historia de éxito, y deberíamos creerlo.

This is infuriating, and so troubling: Dutch finance minister Sigrid Kaag will step down from the leadership of her party because of threats from conspiracy theorists & right-wing nutters. She's been confronted at home, her daughters begged her to quit.

On 3/2/22, Castro regime condemned Sayli Navarro (age 35) to 8 years in prison. Félix Navarro Rodríguez (age 68) her father, to 9 years in prison.Both are Cuban human rights defenders.

📊 What do the latest polls say about next Spanish Election? A data thread 👇

PP conservative is still first in our poll of polls, with around 34% of vote share, followed by PSOE socialdems (27%-28%), Vox -right win- (14%) and Sumar -left- (13%)... But figures are moving:

Interessant.

[Thomas Zimmer @tzimmer_history]

A major German newspaper asked me to write an opinion piece on the Supreme Court - then refused to publish it because they regard my argument that the rightwing majority stands in direct opposition to multiracial, pluralistic democracy and the modern state as too extreme. 🤷
