The mediocrity of evil

Many of the leaders held up as representing the epitome of evil were extraordinarily and spectacularly untalented, incapable and incompetent.

True people power in Libya

Gaddafi and his corrupt ‘jamahiriya’ may be gone, but Libyans should not give up on the dream of a direct democracy for the masses.

I am glad that Belgium links salaries to inflation. It makes this period of rapid price rises a little more manageable and less stressful. Economists who are fearful that this will fuel spiralling inflation should ask corporations, not workers, to keep their prices down.

A workshop with a view. Had an invigorating few days at a mentoring event in Ghent with allies from the climate movement. It was both fun and worthwhile. Change is in the air. Thanks, Anton and the ECF, for inviting me. twitter.com/_antlaz_/statu…

Hi @TwitterSupport Hi Twitter, I received a suspicious DM claiming that my account was inauthentic and allegedly spreading hate speech. I assume this is phising. Could you confirm that there is no problem with my account or advise me on what to do? Thanks

It is worrying and outrageous that Sweden appears to have thrown the Kurds under the bus in order to gain Turkish acceptance of Swedish membership of NATO. #NATO #NATOSummit

With EU environment ministers offering freebies to heavy industry to pollute with impunity, it's almost as if we're not in the throes of a climate emergency and energy crunch. twitter.com/CarbonMrktWatc… pic.twitter.com/Cmn5SuWvqs

The overturning of Roe vs Wade will deepen the already massive class divide in America. Poor women will be forced to perform unsafe backstreet abortions while wealthy women will be able to travel to do the procedure abroad or to a state where it is legal. #RoeVWade #AbortionBan

"We're here, we're queer, we won't disappear." After a suspected Islamist extremist killed two and injured 21 at a gay club in Oslo, the city's LGBTQ+ community defiantly marched in pride, countering ugly hate with beautiful love. #oslopride bbc.com/news/world-eur… pic.twitter.com/x8uacKEQq3
