Watching every Russian, Israeli, and US right-wing grifter, along with a wave of bot accounts across multiple countries, screech in unison about Tusk’s actions in Poland only further confirms that he did the right thing and who PiS really represents.

Przywracanie rządów prawa jest naszym obowiązkiem. Po latach pisowskiego bezprawia to proces trudny, czasem bolesny i wymaga zdecydowanego dziaƂania. Innej drogi nie ma.

NON, il n’y a pas de « coup d’État » en Pologne. Depuis quelques heures, des comptes militants diffusent des images de policiers devant le Tribunal constitutionnel polonais en prĂ©tendant que Donald Tusk aurait fait prendre la Cour par la force. C’est faux. Voici ce qui s’est rĂ©ellement passĂ©. Le conflit remonte aux annĂ©es de gouvernement du PiS, entre 2015 et 2023. Le parti avait placĂ© ses proches au Tribunal constitutionnel au terme de procĂ©dures gravement irrĂ©guliĂšres, transformant progressivement cette institution en instrument politique. Ce constat ne vient pas seulement du gouvernement Tusk. La Cour europĂ©enne des droits de l’homme a jugĂ© que certaines nominations avaient rendu des formations du Tribunal illĂ©gales. La Cour de justice de l’Union europĂ©enne a Ă©galement conclu que les nominations de plusieurs juges et de l’ancienne prĂ©sidente avaient violĂ© des rĂšgles fondamentales et que le Tribunal ne rĂ©pondait plus aux exigences d’indĂ©pendance et d’impartialitĂ©. Depuis son retour au pouvoir, la coalition de Donald Tusk tente donc de remettre cette institution en Ă©tat. Le Parlement actuel a Ă©lu de nouveaux juges, mais le prĂ©sident Karol Nawrocki, soutenu par le PiS, refuse de recevoir leur serment. Ces juges ont effectuĂ© une prestation de serment de substitution, dont la validitĂ© est elle-mĂȘme contestĂ©e. Le 30 octobre, plusieurs de ces juges sont entrĂ©s dans le Tribunal. Anna Korwin-Piotrowska, qui se considĂšre comme la juge possĂ©dant la plus grande anciennetĂ©, a suspendu pour un mois le prĂ©sident Bogdan Úwięczkowski et son vice-prĂ©sident. Elle leur reproche notamment d’empĂȘcher les nouveaux juges de siĂ©ger, de refuser de rĂ©unir l’assemblĂ©e gĂ©nĂ©rale complĂšte du Tribunal et de composer certaines formations de jugement en violation de la loi. La direction liĂ©e au PiS refuse cette dĂ©cision, affirme rester en fonction et accuse les nouveaux juges de commettre un « coup d’État ». Concernant les images de policiers : la police polonaise affirme ne pas ĂȘtre entrĂ©e dans le bĂątiment et ne pas avoir pris le contrĂŽle du Tribunal. Elle a sĂ©curisĂ© les abords Ă  la demande d’une juge et du procureur gĂ©nĂ©ral en raison des manifestations, des risques de violences et des menaces pesant sur le personnel. Trois personnes ont Ă©tĂ© interpellĂ©es aprĂšs avoir franchi la clĂŽture. Des objets ont Ă©galement Ă©tĂ© lancĂ©s sur les forces de l’ordre. Il n’y a donc : Aucun dĂ©ploiement de l’armĂ©e. Aucun renversement du gouvernement. Aucune arrestation du prĂ©sident. Aucune suspension du Parlement ou de la Constitution. Aucune prise militaire du Tribunal. Il existe en revanche un conflit constitutionnel majeur entre deux directions qui revendiquent simultanĂ©ment la lĂ©gitimitĂ©. La mĂ©thode employĂ©e par le camp Tusk est juridiquement contestable. Pour suspendre les dirigeants du Tribunal, Anna Korwin-Piotrowska s’appuie sur plusieurs textes combinĂ©s et invoque un « Ă©tat de nĂ©cessitĂ© constitutionnelle ». Cette interprĂ©tation devra ĂȘtre tranchĂ©e par les juridictions compĂ©tentes. On peut donc parfaitement considĂ©rer que Tusk prend un risque en voulant rĂ©parer l’État de droit Ă  l’aide d’une procĂ©dure juridiquement fragile. Mais appeler cela un « coup d’État » reste une manipulation grossiĂšre. Le PiS a largement créé cette situation en capturant auparavant le Tribunal. Le gouvernement actuel tente maintenant de reprendre le contrĂŽle d’une institution discrĂ©ditĂ©e, avec une mĂ©thode qui soulĂšve elle aussi de sĂ©rieuses questions juridiques. La rĂ©alitĂ© est donc plus complexe que les vidĂ©os anxiogĂšnes diffusĂ©es sur X : Ce n’est pas un coup d’État. C’est une crise constitutionnelle trĂšs grave, nĂ©e de plusieurs annĂ©es de politisation de la justice polonaise et dĂ©sormais aggravĂ©e par une bataille de lĂ©gitimitĂ© entre deux camps.

Grindr culture trained a whole generation of gay men to treat each other like disposable inventory and call it liberation. Real masculinity is having standards, choosing one man, and building a home together.

So much conspiracy out there over Brazil. Here are the facts. 1. Both candidates requested extension of voting hours. Both! 2. Allowing everyone time to vote is democratic obviously. 3. Voting is mandatory in Brazil. 4. Bolsonaro got nearly four million more votes in second round versus first, despite claims he lost votes. 5. He was always going to lose as almost all voters for anyone else weren't going to touch him. 6. It was a relative landslide win for Lula. 7. Lula has issues but isn't communist. 8. Begging Trump to invade in the name of democracy because you lost isn't a good reflection of your intelligence. 9. The right need to learn to lose and stop whining. 10. X posts don't make someone who couldn't find Brazil on a map an expert on their society and politics. 11. Lula now needs to do far better for Brazilians than he has in past and I've huge doubts he will frankly.

Lula won by 4.4 million votes. The number of votes cast after the polls reopened was under 36,000. Anyone who tells you that this is why Lulu won or that it delegitimizes the outcome is pushing a completely fake narrative.

Zionism is a belief that the Jewish people should have a country, and supporting that country. Therefore anti-Zionism is believing the Jewish people shouldn’t have a country, and not supporting that country. To deny the Jewish people that homeland, is Jew Hate. No difference.

The 1947 plan wasn’t “rejected by Arabs” it was rejected by Islamist leaders who spoke for their people. Palestinians have a zealotry problem in their community, it’s really sad to see. If there was a secular Arab representative he probably would’ve accepted.

"See! A good guy stopped a bad guy with a gun --" Wrong. A parent had to kill a 16 year old child with a gun because even though law enforcement responded quickly, it wasn't enough to save the four people that were already murdered -- including THREE CHILDREN. The only thing your "good guy" stopped was further escalation and more unnecessary trauma. It's. Still. The. Fucking. Guns.

All decent people need to take back the label "Zionist". I am a Zionist. It's possible to believe that: (1) The settlements are wrong and must be removed. (2) Israel has a right to exist. (4) Grave injustices have been commited against Palestinians. (5) Hamas is pure evil.

Jews have a right to have our own country. Jews have a right to go to the land of our ancestors and connect to our history. Jews have a right to seek sanctuary when the world comes to slaughter us like they did our grandparents. And Jews have a right to fight back.

Israel’s valid military objective after October 7 was the rescue of its kidnapped people and the destruction of the military capacity of Hamas and the neutralization of the the threat to its civilians that Hamas demonstrated it represented on that day. That meant no more rockets launched from Gaza at Israel. No more tunnel network for transporting, hiding and protecting troops, munitions and kidnapped Israeli hostages. And no more standing army of tens of thousands of bloodthirsty paramilitary fighters right on Israel’s border training and planning to slaughter civilians and drag children into spider-holes. All of that had to be destroyed. Any action necessary to achieve that goal was proportionate. The collateral damage is unfortunate, but falls within parameters when balanced against Israel’s crucial security needs after suffering the atrocities of October 7, 2023. If the death, destruction and loss was too much for the Palestinian people to bear, on every single day of the war, Hamas had the option to surrender and release the hostages. If Gaza had voluntarily disarmed and transitioned to civilian leadership that would cooperate with Israel on the decommissioning of Hamas’s munitions and tunnel infrastructure, Israel’s security objective could have been achieved with zero loss of civilian life. Every single photo you see of the destruction in Gaza is something that Gaza chose. Every single death and every single destroyed building was proportionate and justified by the necessity of Israel’s security objective. “Never again” doesn’t mean peace at any cost. That is the policy of Neville Chamberlain. “Never again” means we will fight like demons before we will ever allow ourselves to be herded onto boxcars. “Never again” means what happened to Gaza will happen to anyone who does something like October 7, 2023. Gaza had the option not to do that. They are proud they did it and their supporters are rallying all over the world today to declare their intent to do it again. Gaza chose what happened and they are choosing what will continue to happen until they make a different choice.
Yes. I think the Israeli govt response to the horrendous Oct 7 attacks has been massively disproportionate - for which I blame Netanyahu and hard-right headbangers like Ben Gvir and Smotrich who don’t seem to care about the damage they’re doing to Israel’s reputation.

The world demonizes Israel 365 days a year. Perhaps, for just one day—October 7th—the critics of Israel could take a vacation from their hysterical hatred of the world’s only Jewish State and find it within themselves to express condolences for the thousands of Israelis murdered, maimed, mutilated, raped, and abducted at the hands of Hamas.
