please send me your candidates for the weirdest things Eric Adams has done in 2025

Meanwhile, Pritzker who's talked a great game for weeks now, has his cops out at Broadview rounding up protesters.

Very interesting new polling data: The vast majority of French, Germans and Italians support strengthening European tech sovereignty and incentivising "Buy European" approaches. Another area where European voters are ahead of the policy debate. Source: legrandcontinent.eu/fr/2025/09/2...

Je me demande si c'est difficile de mettre en œuvre une petite appli qui enlèverait les euphémisations du Monde, en facilitant la lecture. "influenceur conservateur" -> "propagandiste suprémaciste." "trublion controversé" -> "néo-nazi." "au profil atypique" -> "habituel néomanager triste et gris"

Syriza represented an effort to provide a parliamentary obstacle to austerity. The defeat of the movements 3 years before led many to adopt this as a last ditch effort. But its eventual coalition with a far-right party & the acceleration of austerity radically de-legitimised the "Left".

what's good to read from this week on the mobilizations in paris and the upcoming generalization of the strikes? (U.S. left/ish media has been, uh, occupied elsewhere this week, but even CNN is making it seem like big things afoot...)

Holy shit. New article reports 150 THAAD missiles and 80 SM-3 missiles fired by the US military to intercept Iranian ballistic missiles during the 12 day war. That's about $4.3 BILLION dollars worth of missiles, and several years worth of production.

the image we chose for @navsa2025.bsky.social, which I learned abt from Philip Steer, shows the catastrophe on which white fantasies of domestic life have always been built. Ruined stumps & demolished landscapes; Indigenous people driven off or murdered; the normal family and its home.

Here's the link. And we have a follow up article coming very soon on the more 'what is to be done' political questions. Stay tuned for that. jacobin.com/2025/07/arti...

A good explanation of his purpose from the preface to the 25th anniversary edition of Edward Said’s Orientalism

The reason for lack of AC has nothing to do with what he’s saying though. I find it super odd people can’t engage with reality on this topic on either side of the atlantic. This is poorer countries can’t afford to retrofit older housing stock conversation not moralizing from UK elites conversation
