They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

- Reposted by Simon ChauchardUnidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
- Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying. They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks. From WCVB: youtu.be/PuFIs7OkzYY

- Reposted by Simon ChauchardHere’s the reality: This government—despite what they’d have us believe—cannot simply do whatever it wants. The moment we accept that bullshit, we become complicit in this blatantly authoritarian move by the president and his administration. With a loud, collective voice, we must say: fuck this!

- Interesting piece. "the battleground over U.S. politics won’t be entirely in courts or in Congress — it’ll be in financial markets as well. And, it promises to be a hell of a fight." www.nytimes.com/2025/03/09/o...
- Reposted by Simon ChauchardVery happy that my paper has just been published at @apsrjournal.bsky.social! Do insurgents help or hurt genocide targets? Contrary to common belief, I find that insurgent presence reduced Jewish victimisation during the Holocaust in France. Here's what I discovered 👇 1/6

- Reposted by Simon ChauchardWhen Donald Trump threatens student protests, consider why: throughout modern history, student movements have repeatedly been the catalyst that toppled dictatorships. Authoritarian leaders fear campus activism precisely because it works. Below is a list of 36 student-led pro-democracy movements.🧵
- Reposted by Simon ChauchardAs another Trump-induced market crisis unfolds from tariffs, it's time we ask "What's the Matter with Billionaires?" I've run the numbers. Billionaires do better under Dems. So why do billionaires keep supporting GOP policies against their economic interests? See my latest piece on why. (TLDR 🧵⬇️)

- Exactly. We are now paying the tab for democratic elites' obsession with electoral strategizing, and their related distrust for the streets, student protests or any kind of contact with radical anything...

- Reposted by Simon ChauchardZelenskyy showed more courage and intestinal fortitude today than the entire Republican Party since 2016. It's shocking to see someone refuse to bend the knee and become a supplicant.
- Reposted by Simon ChauchardNo, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.
