@DrSeanHanley In my piece, I offer a few thoughts on the position of Hlas in the post-election situation. It is not the central theme, though. https://t.co/euE0dqL5sS

Slovakia has joined a growing number of countries in recognizing the 1932-1933 Holodomor as genocide against the Ukrainian people. This act of historical justice serves as a stark reminder of our responsibility to ensure that abusers do not act with impunity. Thank you, Slovakia!

Albania’s Permanent Representative to the UN absolutely wrecks Russia in front of a full room.

He says the Russian Army clearly destroyed the Kakhovka dam and that there’s no point to listen to the Russians as they are a bunch of liars.

“How many times have they lied”?

@BDStanley @prezydentpl @Michal_Bilewicz Czech president Zeman did the same twice. One of the candidates apealed to the court and won, forcing Zeman to comply. Isn't that possible in PL?

[Marek Rybar @marekrybar]

@DrSeanHanley Good point. Some use it as a mental shortcut to make sense of candidates with little political experience and track record.

[Marek Rybar @marekrybar]

@DrSeanHanley Agreed. Also rooted in a broader image of the candidates: a retired army general (older, male) vs. an academic (younger, female), i.e., not created out of nothing. Also linked to some of their earlier stances and viewpoints.

[Marek Rybar @marekrybar]

@DrSeanHanley Sean, just curious what exactly do you mean by liberal/conservative branded? The emphasis here is on BRANDED.

[Marek Rybar @marekrybar]

@AnnaGBusse @PrincetonUPress Anna, this looks amazing. Congratulations! I can't wait to read it.

Imagine what would happen if the German Chancellor wore a scarf with the 1937 German borders (let alone the 1941 ones). What a pathetic, ridiculous autocrat.

Dictators love the #FIFAWorldCup. Today took me back to Argentina 1978, when the military rulers (later jailed for human rights violations) played hosts.

Back then some players, visitors, activists & media outlets did not stay silent about the regime.

They should not today.
