"Democracy can be restored as long as electoral routes for political change remain open. Protecting electoral integrity is thus a vital task for democracies, requiring whole-of-society coordination and investment." - @kevincasasz.bsky.social #IICDEM2026

I'd wager this is the angriest statement ever issued by the Nobel Peace Prize people...
As we know from his personal life, he's not good with the "No means no" thing.

Obama: "It's like every day is Halloween, except it's all tricks and no treats. And here's the thing -- it's not as if we did not see some of this coming. I mean, I'll admit it's worse than even I expected, but I did warn y'all. And you know what? Donald Trump warned you too."
This is nothing short of amazing.
Over two days, representatives of electoral management bodies, regional electoral networks & government institutions from more than 15 countries discussed experiences and ways forward for @internationalidea.bsky.social's Integrated Framework for #ProtectingElections. ⬇️

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.
Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.
The moment when it becomes most difficult, perhaps even impossible, to tell the truth, is the moment when it is most critically important to tell it.

I plan to post this ABC News supercut video of Trump calling Harris and Democrats "fascists" (and "communists"!) everytime I see a Republican on TV whining about Trump being called a "fascist" by the left.
Oh, the hypocrisy! Oh, the gaslighting!

I'm not sure who has to hear this, but it is NOT normal that the government sends the military into its own cities. In fact, in many countries, this has led to mass protests... 🙄
"Trump claims U.S. is the only country that uses mail-in voting. Is that true?
In fact, more than 30 other countries allow voting by mail for some or all voters, according to @internationalidea.bsky.social." - @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy

After working on elections for years, I must admit that I never thought of tapping into Putin's wisdom as an expert on electoral integrity. Next up I may start seeking guidance from Netanyahu on international humanitarian law or Bukele on modern prison rehabilitation techniques. 🤔
