In case anyone is wondering what kind of Senator James Talarico will be, here’s him challenging the author of the Ten Commandments bill in the Texas house. He’s been fighting extremism and hypocrisy for a long time

James Talarico zaferini tarihe geçecek bir konuşma ile kutladı. En sevdiğim kısım olan aşk ve nefret hakkında konuştuğu kısmı çevirerek paylaşıyorum:
“İnancım bana aşkın evrendeki en büyük güç olduğunu öğretti. Aşk edilgen değildir. Aşk tarafsız değildir. Aşk zayıf değildir. Aşk, zorbayla zorbalığa uğrayanın arasında durmaktır. Aşk, kötülüğün gözünün içine bakmayı ve gözümüzü bile kırpmamayı gerektirir. İşte bu tür bir aşk, güç sahipleri için her zaman bir tehdit olmuştur. Bu tür bir aşk devrimcidir. Bu tür bir aşk yaratıcıdır.
Nefret ise öngörülebilirdir. Nefret sıkıcıdır. Nefret enerji faturalarımızı düşüremez. Nefret bir çocuğa okumayı öğretemez. Nefret bir gelecek inşa edemez.
Ama nefretin yapamadığı bütün bunları aşk yapabilir.
Aşk bir öğrenciyi bir bilgine dönüştürebilir. Aşk bir düşmanı dosta dönüştürebilir. Aşk, Amerika’nın bozuk düzenini onarabilir.”

A man “praying” as the plane goes down while the woman continues to work is actually the perfect metaphor for patriarchy

Hoy llega a librerías mi nuevo libro: "La vida entremedias", un diario que explora la vida entre culturas a través de mis recuerdos de 20 años en los Balcanes, los viajes por la región y mi labor difundiéndola. Os cuento un poco sobre él.

Canada just lit up Niagara Falls Blue showing their solidarity with Democrats and it feels so good to know that they stand with us.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Niagara Falls was lit teal on Nov 3rd for Alzheimer awareness, as per their illumination schedule.

Why is it ok to completely DESTROY a marine ecosystem for military testing?
We are such a sick society 😡

Congratulations to @oliviachow, who will remain mayor of Toronto. Her victory contributes to the uprising against right-wing populism we are seeing across the world this week. It recommits this great city to creating the conditions necessary for real human flourishing, together.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, who boasted of supplying Israel with vast quantities of ammunition as its bombs tore Gaza’s children apart, has fallen from power.
Another shameless accomplice in Israel’s genocide belongs in history’s dustbin.

Mayor Chow is change. She inherited a mess from Mayor Tory and in 3 years is turning things around and has had many successes. Councillor Bradford peddles and promotes fear. He weaponizes people’s insecurity. He’s rabid raw ambition and his record diverges from what he says now.

Serbia 🇷🇸: The capital of Belgrade tonight. People as far as the eye can see.
The Student List is ready to end 12 years of rule by Aleksandar Vucic and the SNS.

A vote for Bradford is a vote for Doug Ford.
Vote wisely! #TOpoli

There are valid critiques of Olivia chow - I’ve made them myself ! But Brad Bradford would be a complete disaster for this city, conservatives would run every single part of the lives of Toronto residents

PLEASE GO AND VOTE ON MONDAY. We cannot let this absolute loser win!!
A new poll finds Brad Bradford has taken a narrow lead over Olivia Chow in the Toronto mayoral race, with less than a week to go until election day.

Whistleblowers at Queen's Park are saying that if Brad Bradford wins, he 100% wants to help @fordnation open and build the casino on the waterfront.
The plans are still very much alive. Behind the scenes. #onpoli #cdnpoli
