Amid anti-government boycotts in TR, Muse becomes the third act (after Trevor Noah and Ane Brun) to cancel an upcoming show in Istanbul due organizers' criticism of protests and ties to Erdogan.

Insightful analysis below by Turkish academics @berkesen and Şebnem Gümüşçü on what happened in Turkey and what could be next, includes all the nuance and context Western journos often seem to miss (e.g. CNN quoting known Gulenist Enes Kanter, recent piece in the Economist etc.)

At least 10 journalists detained in early morning crackdown, specifically targeting photojournalists who have been documenting widespread protests and police brutality.

Digital censorship and suppression continues in Turkey with X accounts of multiple independent news and civil society orgs (incl. Progressive Lawyers Association @chdgenelmerkez) suppressed and no longer visible to users in Turkey.

Bu kayıtla ilgili sanki ortada olağandışı ve artniyetli bir durum varmış gibi yorumlar görüyorum; bu yanlış. Bahsi geçen ve benzeri teknolojiler pazarlama ve kullanıcı deneyimi (UX) amacıyla her gün ziyaret ettiğimiz pek çok websitesi ve uygulama tarafından kullanılmaktadır. 1/5

Today, TR opposition party is going ahead with primary elections to nominate a presidential candidate where Imamoglu — arrested early this morning on “corruption” charges by a kangaroo court — is the only candidate on the ballot. Crowds lining up shows democratic appetite in TR.

[Hande @handeguven]

The verdict on the two cases brought against Imamoglu will be announced tonight so the Radio and Television Supreme Council of TR is practically threatening broadcasters with license cancellations below + reportedly calling news stations to stop live coverage of events.

Elon Musk is assisting Erdoğan’s efforts to move Turkey to a full authoritarian regime.

ICYMI, the Turkish president arrested the candidate who could beat him two days ago. He’s throttled the internet & shut down transit in & into major cities to stop protests for democracy.

[Foreign policy @ForeignpolicyWB]

Over 1 million people in Turkey are demonstrating against Turkey becoming a totalitarian dictatorship.

[ian bremmer @ianbremmer]

am not seeing much coverage of the massive (and, according to the govt, illegal) pro-democracy protests in turkey

[Hande @handeguven]

Hundreds incl elected officials, politicians, journalists jailed, protest bans in largest cities, entering/exiting Istanbul restricted if not fully banned if you are designated a “person likely to demonstrate” yet most Western media (@nytimes) dare say is “democratic backsliding”
