Our Special Issue on "Religion and Democratic Theory" is now out in @democratictheory.bsky.social (co-edited with Iman Al Nassre @ialnassre.bsky.social)

Check out the articles by Cristina Lafont, Schirin Amir-Moazami, Aurélia Bardon, Tobias Müller, and the interview with Cécile Laborde!

Hungary’s Counter-Counterrevolution István Rév explains why Viktor Orbán fell after 16 years of entrenched illiberal rule – and how Péter Magyar toppled him.

'...big German companies, such as Bosch and Siemens, also availed themselves of the Hungarian government’s largess. In a sense, Orbán took Germany hostage, which guaranteed then-Chancellor Angela Merkel’s inaction. Orbán was just too important to the German economy to be allowed to fail.'

A starfield filled with thousands of stars and shining clouds of dust. The Milky Way\u2019s elegant spiral structure is dominated by just two arms wrapping off the ends of a central bar of stars. Spanning more than 100,000 light-years, Earth is located along one of the galaxy\u2019s spiral arms, about halfway from the center. Credit: NASA

Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

The only show I watch on CBS is the Adam Friedland Show

OH. MY. GOD.

THIS IS THE EARTHSET PHOTO FROM ARTEMIS II. IM SPEECHLESS.

A Retrospective on Bidenomics - The American Prospect Joe Biden listened to the left on full employment. But the lasting effects were wanting, and the politics were brutal.

For whatever it’s worth, I agree with more or less everything that @ryanlcooper.com says in this retrospective on Bidenomics. prospect.org/2026/04/07/a...

Irankrieg: Exkommunizieren ist auch eine Lösung Ein Kirchenoberhaupt hat mal die Mafia aus dem Verein geschmissen. Wäre es da nicht längst an der Zeit, dass Papst Leo den Katholiken in der US-Regierung droht?

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

The Reckoning • EQUATOR Hormuz and the end of American hegemony

"Hormuz has exposed both the fragility of the fossil fuel system and the limits of American power... Yet it would be naïve to expect American power to collapse suddenly, leaving a clean space for something better." - Mona Ali in @equatormag.bsky.social

Interesting from @javierblas.bsky.social on Odd Lots that "East of Suez" and "West of Suez" is still the clearest way to think of world petroleum markets. Long shadow of empire.

verstehe nicht, warum irgendwer immer noch diese gramsci zitate rausballert, wenn wir von deleuze diesen banger haben: "There is no need to fear or hope, but only to look for new weapons."

There is 1 country whose leaders have used nuclear weapons. Out of impatience, trying to wrap up a war against a stubborn enemy they regarded as racially inferior. And that was during the adults-in-the-room era. And yet we've agreed to stay silent on the possibility of Trump deciding to nuke Iran?

Time for serious newspapers to call this by its name. This is a nuclear threat.

Christliche Tradition und der Opferbegriff – wie hat sich die Vorstellung von Opfer verändert? Ostern ist das Fest des Opfers, genauer: der Aufopferung. Heute dominiere eine Vorstellung des passiven Opfer-Seins, sagt die Philosophin Maria-Sibylla Lotter:

Dreimal wurde Simon Petrus gefragt, ob er nicht einer von denen sei, und er antwortete dreimal, nein; dreimal klingelte gerade im Dom von Catania während der Karfreitagsmesse des Bischofs das Handy der älteren Italienerin hinter mir, und sie ging dreimal ran.

Iran’s Long Game Decades of Preparation Are Paying Off

»The decapitation campaign has also created a problem for the United States that Washington appears not to have anticipated: the Iranian commanders who have replaced those killed are, in many respects, more dangerous than their predecessors.« reader.foreignaffairs.com/2026/03/26/i...
