In 2019 Portugal was the only EU country w/ no far-right party. Yesterday, 1 w/ nearly 50% of MPs w/ criminal records became our 2nd largest. I’m sad and ashamed. Civil society needs to step in, it's clear we can't afford to wait for the politicians #portugueseelections #Portugal #extremeright

How is it possible that a party with almost 50% of MPs with known criminal records might become the 2nd political force in portugal , the last country in Europe to have the extreme right in the parliament? I am ashamed and so so angry #stopextremeright #civiceducationnow #civicmovements

To forget for 10sec the idiotic hara-kiri of those voting for the extreme right against their own self-interest, what about June's NY pigeon day when people dressed as them compete to see who is the best pigeon? #beapigeon #strotelikeapigeon #pigeons

Andry JosΓ© HernΓ‘ndez Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 43 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

This always annoys meβ€”US/UK people are β€œexpats”, everyone else is β€œmigrant.” and now illegal

The difference is planning to return home, So many so-called migrants are really expats.

Let’s be accurate and not allow language to promote prejudice (just heard an American calling himself expat...)

75% of US scientists who answered Nature poll consider leaving More than 1,600 readers answered our poll; many said they were looking for jobs in Europe and Canada.

75% of the American scientist asked by Nature say they are considering leaving the country - the French, never ones to miss an opportunity, are already thinking to offer "scientific asylum"

@cassiopeiaknits.bsky.social , @leonorb.bsky.social and @ @compassox.bsky.social one to see and pass if you do not know it. It's important to remember that the victims exist on every side and hate is a very effective weapon (as we are seeing in the UK, the US and everywhere else)

Defamation

Israeli filmmaker Yoav Shamir's doc "Defamation" should be indispensable view for the Israel-Gaza debate. This feeling of "being hated by the other" is a very effective weapon nurtured by both the Israel right and Hamas www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTAj...

Medical journal editors must resist CDC order and anti-gender ideology The news that on 31 January 2025 the Trump administration instructed scientists employed by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to withdraw or retract articles from medical and sci...

Trump ordering American scientists to RETRACT articles with words such as gender, transgender, LGBT, or transsexual, is a new dystopia.

Much worse than most of us could have predicted, and a serious attack on democracy.
Resistance needs to start

18 years ago Naomi Klein warned of shock as a weapon to leave us vulnerable to forced changes, which we do not want or anticipate.
Trump is doing exactly that.
Seeing that for what it is allows us to resist our primary reaction and push for a different outcome.
