…and ‘insulating’ for him means he never leaves power, because he knows that if he does, he’ll die in prison. #democracyFirst

“Anything I want”… yeah, that’s exactly the problem.

View the JFK Library Press Release.

Habermas, the philosopher who shaped Germany's post-war conscience Juergen Habermas, best-known for his theory of political consensus-building, shaped the discourse of post-war Germany more than any other popular intellectual.

“… Defending the uniqueness of Third Reich atrocities, Habermas believed that ‘Vergangenheitsbewältigung’, or coming to terms with the past, had to be central to the country's identity …”

Lords a-leaving: Britain is ejecting hereditary nobles from Parliament after 700 years Britain is ending the centuries-old tradition of hereditary aristocrats sitting in Parliament’s House of Lords.

With luck and some number of centuries, Great Britain may finally evolve into a republic, thereby ending misrule by monarchs and aristocrats “behaving badly”.

Leave big tech behind! How to replace Amazon, Google, X, Meta, Apple – and more A handful of companies monopolise the web, with unprecedented access to our data. But there are many more ethical – and often distinctively European – alternatives

Trade, visas, capital, prestige—every lever should press until pro-Trump strongmen exit public life. Reward rule of law; punish capture. Partnerships require principles, not fealty to demagogues. Pressure works when values are non-negotiable. #NoDealsWithAutocrats #DemocracyFirst
