AfD’s historic win splits European opinion.
Alternative for Germany won 43.8% of the vote in Saxony-Anhalt, more than double its showing five years ago in the region of 2.1 million people west of Berlin.
AfD’s landslide victory has drawn celebration from Europe’s populist right and a sharp condemnation from Poland’s prime minister.

Jesse Jackson could do something most politicians can't even imagine.
He got conservative dirt farmers and inner-city families fighting the same enemy: corporate profiteers running roughshod over us all.
That's not (just) oratory. That's vision. And it's exactly what we need right now.

I recently read a couple of Elmore Leonard crime novels -- "Riding the Rap" and "Out of Sight".
I don't read that much contemporary fiction, nor do I have a deep background in crime fiction as a genre, so you'll have to make do with the remarks of a relatively ill informed reader.
I can see why Leonard is a both popular and respected writer. He knows how to structure a gripping narrative, and his dialogue rings true.
On a more critical note, I can imagine these two novels providing future students of US culture with material for a study of the anxieties and aspirations of middle class white men in an America seemingly riven with disorder.
In "Riding the Rap", Leonard's background as a writer of westerns comes across; the US marshal protagonist brings order to a lawless frontier by acting on his own initiative rather than a mere agent of a federal bureaucracy. Here though, the frontier is no longer in the west, but in Florida, and the threatening nonwhite others are no longer American Indians but a Puerto Rican hitman and a Black Bahamian immigrant who, as part of his assimilation to Black America, adopted an Islamic name.
Leonard's depiction of racial attitudes intersects with his representation of socioeconomic class distinctions. The two nonwhite criminals act for a while as henchmen to a drink and drug addled wealthy white playboy, whose kidnapping plan drives the plot forward. His exploitation of his senile mother's wealth and the revelation of her ugly racist attitudes point to the class and status tensions that exist between a decadent white upper class and the Appalachian coalmining heritage of the US marshal protagonist.
These racial and white populist themes recur in "Out of Sight", where middle aged, middle class, white bank robbers are contrasted with African American home invaders, the latter being characterized by their cruelty, treachery, idleness, lust, and greed.
In both novels the middle aged male protagonist beds a much younger female character; some readers might find these glimpses of the fantasy life of ageing men unintentionally ludicrous.
I think I'll reserve final judgment on Leonard until I've read another of his books. "Swag" is supposed to be good, but neither my local second bookstore nor my libraries have it available at the moment, and I don't want to pay full price for it.

#EcoPopulism - I don't like the sound of that. #populism means promising false simple "solutions" to complex problems. And these days it is basically a euphemism for #fascism, and we don't want to be seen near that. looks like Zack wants to join labour and the tories in trying to out-reform Reform. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/may/05/green-deputy-zack-polanski-launches-leadership-bid-with-uk-eco-populism-vision #GreenParty #UKpolitics

Pierre Poilievre already limits journalists to one question with no follow up so as to control rhe narrative and record clickbait for his fascist “X” followers.
His vitriol for left wing “radical woke” media now has him banning all press but his loyalist partisan groups.
Make no mistake, this is straight out of Trump’s playbook. Pierre will defund the #CBC while boosting right wing #RebelNews and other partisan media as our only “acceptable” Canadian news sources.
#PierrePoilievre has fully embraced the populist division of Canadians as his key winning strategy.
Those of us who continue to question his motives or intentions are soon to be ignored and banished from his palace if he is given power.
Under Poilievre’s Canada, those deemed “woke” will be targeted and discriminated against as part of Conservative policy, with no questions allowed.
This is not my Canada. This is not my Prime Minister.

Holland, see on mingi igav maa, kus on tulbid, puukingad ja tuuleveskid, eks? Noh, võib-olla. Küll oli aga viimaste provintsivalimiste tulemuseks BoerburgerBeweging ehk lühendatult BBB ehk Farmer-Kodanike Partei võit, mis tähendab, et nad võivad ka senatisse saada. Veel hiljuti marginaalne partei võib hakata riigi suunda muutnud. Milline on aga BBB agenda?
Täpsemalt:
"Hollandi valitsus kavatseb 2030. aastaks kärpida mürgiste heitmete, eelkõige nitraatide ja muu põllumajandusega seotu kogust poole võrra. Muu hulgas tähendaks see ilmselt ka Hollandi kuulsate kariloomade arvu vähendamist. Põldurid ja loomakasvatajad nägid selles plaanis BBB ärgitusel ja ka ilma selleta linnastunud eliidi otsest rünnakut maainimeste elatusvahendite vastu.
Protesti märgiks tulid tänavaile traktorite kolonnid, laotati asfaldile sõnnikut ja muud hea-paremat ning lõpuks hääletati BBB poolt. See erakond nimelt astus otseselt valitsuse kavade vastu. Ehk teisisõnu oli populistlikuks tituleeritud poliitiline jõud leidnud hoova, millega valijad enese poole kallutada.
Kaugemalt vaatajad kaldusid aga kohe järeldama, et populismi tõusul Euroopas on maha pandud järjekordne teetähis… Seda eriti Euroopa Liidu keskkonnakavade kontekstis. Eks meil Eestiski ole plaan panna riik ja rahvas suurt osa eluasemeid soojustama juba vastuseisu tekitanud. Jääb vaid oodata, kuidas see vastuseis erakonniti jaotub ja kuhu see kanaliseeritakse."

Dear #Elon: Alcuin wrote this to #Charlemagne (798). TL;DR he was opposed to #voxDei tweets.
