    Donald Trump's last stand for 'apartheid America'

    News, Published on 29/10/2020

    » The ferocity of the 2020 presidential election in the United States is not about Donald Trump per se, but about what he represents: the racist structures of power that have persisted in America for centuries, though sometimes in mutated form. The long history of America's state-sponsored racism will draw to an end in the coming generation, which is why Mr Trump is so strikingly reactionary in his attempts to prolong it. Yet the damage that Mr Trump's brand of white nationalism could still cause to the US and the world if he wins a second term makes the election easily the most important in modern American history.

    Lindsey Graham is Trump's most vital friend

    News, Eli Lake, Published on 21/09/2020

    » Lindsey Graham may be the most misunderstood figure in Donald Trump's Washington. For the #Resistance, the Republican senator from South Carolina is the lickspittle who abandoned his principles for access to a dangerous populist. For the populists, Mr Graham is an interloper, worming his way into the president's inner circle and persuading him to keep fighting the endless wars Trump campaigned against.

    Is the new Twitter just like the old?

    Life, James Hein, Published on 01/02/2023

    » The Twitter situation is complex and somewhat confusing. On the one hand, all kinds of people from The Babylon Bee satirical website to former US president Donald Trump have been allowed back on the platform. The stated aim is to allow freedom of speech to be supported by Twitter once again. On the other hand, you can be banned by linking to a public photo of a public person on a public platform. The rule for the latter appears to only be for friends of Elon Musk. A YouTube channel I enjoy watching, The Quartering, did this after someone else had been banned and was also almost instantly banned himself. This is of course wrong in every respect especially given the individual in question, apparently now hypocritically, is always banging on about freedom of speech. Update, the ban is permanent.

    Light flickers in US, fades in Thailand

    Life, Melalin Mahavongtrakul, Published on 30/11/2020

    » For a good part of November, the world was gripped by a tumultuous fanfare that is the US election. And even before the very last votes were counted, relief and joy were already felt in many communities, not only in America but perhaps across the world. For better or for worse, Donald Trump's reign is coming to an end, and the world now looks to President-elect Joe Biden in the hopes that his win will let voices from the marginalised LGBTI community become louder. Biden promised to enact the Equality Act, a civil rights law that will protect LGBTI people from discrimination within his first 100 days in office among other things.
