The real #Bangkok sinkhole is not in the roads, but in Thai politics and erosion of democracy! Great cartoon by Stephff showing the symbolic Democracy Monument under threat from military and conservative elements.

Clueless, wannabe warrior Kirsti Noem

The real Anutin revealed ;-)! Great cartoon by Bangkok-based cartoonist, Stephff. People's Party need to watch Anutin like a hawk to make sure he doesn't betray the deal to dissolve the Parliament in 4 months & return power to the voters to decide.

Stephen Colbert nails Disney to the wall for its abrupt & outrageous cancellation of the @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social show. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMGD...

For the first time, one country out of the UN's 193 members -- the United States -- has refused to participate in the periodic review of its human rights record. Even the worst rights violators regularly submit to this process, and the US now sets a terrible example. thehill.com/opinion/inte...

The Republican Party motto is apparently "do what I say, not what I do" as they trample free expression in the wake of the #CharlieKirk assassination.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker speaking about the wave of political violence in America, and Donald #Trump effort to fan the flames rather than heal the divisions. Very thoughtful and considered answers to tough questions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObSS...

This illustrates the contradiction precisely. H/t @reaproy.bsky.social

Outrageous & unacceptable actions by UK PM Keir Starmer's government. They should enable the artwork to be moved to another, more permanent place - not just erase it.

Urban pigeon camouflage technique, NYC

The very weird Thai political aquarium through the eyes of editorial cartoonist Stephff. Not surprising that the eel, known to be the slipperiest of fishes, got the PM's chair. #WhatsHappeninginThailand #Thailand #Anutin

‘In what Wilderness Australia described as “the most significant outcome for forest conservation in NSW in 25 years”, the government has committed to the full 176,000 hectares.’ www.smh.com.au/environment/...

Time for Marcos to get tough on #Myanmar in discussions with #Cambodia, b/c the Philippines will be the next ASEAN chair that must wrestle w/massive headache that Myanmar is causing for the region. Should issue statement that any election in #Burma under military rule will be illegitimate!

What the fuck does ICE need snipers for though?

The new Prime Minister of Thailand.

Great article by my friend Ben Rogers of @fortifyrights.bsky.social about the "Davos of Dictators" recently organized by Xi Jinping and the authoritarians of #China. www.ucanews.com/news/beijing...

Birds of a feather flock together. War criminal #Myanmar military chief Min Aung Hlaing getting cozy with human rights pariah North Korea supremo Kim Jong-Un. Both of these people belong in a prison for their crimes against humanity.

The fascist front in Beijing.

The man behind the scenes of Paetongtharn's fall. What say you @hunsenseye.bsky.social?

Conservative #Thailand trying to sink the Shinawatras once and for all. Lawfare redux on the back of the undemocratic, military drafted 2017 Constitution (which should be scrapped).

Massachusetts in Bangkok?

How the world looks like -- from Cape Cod.

Israel is massacring journalists in Gaza. This must stop now, and those responsible must be held accountable. Thanks to Bangkok-based Stephff for this great cartoon. See the statement from the FCCT about the latest round of killings. www.fccthai.com/club_news/103

Our CEO @uzraz.bsky.social was quoted by @washingtonpost.com in a review of leaked draft docs of the State Dept's annual human rights reports: "Rubio is seeking to 'weaponize & distort human rights policy' in a way that rewards rights-abusing allies while targeting political opponents & critics."

Trump’s renewable energy program 😉 😉

Hearing disturbing news that Hanoi police raided the home of Vietnamese journalist & HRD Doan Bao Chau before charging him in absentia with "propaganda against the state", in apparent retaliation for his legitimate work. These unjustified charges should be dropped.

Thurs: Talk "History of Thai-Cambodian Relations: Examining the Past to Understand the Present" at Chulalongkorn University Fri: Screening of "Paper Airplane" & two shorts films & panel w/ Moses Marks, Sompong Srakaew & @reaproy.bsky.social @ FCC Thai & Trif Trans Bar @newbloommag.net in Taipei 5/

Thailand/Cambodia: Protect Civilians Amid Border Clashes www.hrw.org/news/2025/07...

Full press conference of Malaysia, Thai & Cambodian PMs at Putrajaya this afternoon, announcing immediate & unconditional ceasefire between #Thailand & #Cambodia. Bizarre Hun Manet mis-speak at 6:56 mark, thanking the Republic of China (which is the name Taiwan uses)! www.youtube.com/watch?v=tawp...

In the boxing ring of stupid nationalism, everyone gets bloodied. Yet another great cartoon by Stephff. #Thailand #Cambodia #ThailandCambodia #CambodiaThailand

Speaking to ARD German public radio about the twists and turns in recent #Thailand politics, including the continued lawfare waged against elected Thai politicians by the conservatives & the courts empowered by the NCPO's undemocratic 2017 Constitution. www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de/thailands-da...

Speaking to @abcnewsbot.bsky.social radio about the #Thailand vs. #Cambodia conflict, and the fact that this border war is likely to go on for some time because neither side wants to look weak, for their own political reasons. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Talking to Al-Jaz, making predictions that sadly, for a whole host of reasons, the Thai/Cambodian border conflict is going to drag on for awhile. "The gloves are now off between the two sides" and "neither side wants to be seen as conceding any ground to the other." www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/...

Inflating a resume should be responded to with laughter & ridicule, not criminal charges & the possibility of prison time. #Thailand's NCPO military Constitution is dangerous & needs to be scrapped. #WhatHappeninginThailand

We're grateful to the 128 historians and scholars who are urging Congress to support the Protect America's Workforce Act, the bipartisan legislation that would reverse President Trump's union-busting executive order and restore collective bargaining rights to federal workers.

Old vs new in #Bangkok. Love these kinds of contrasts that seem to pop up almost everywhere you go in the city.

Is this the Trump letter to Epstein?

More on Trump, the ultimate scumbag.

Sen. Adam Schiff to Donald Trump: "Donald, piss off..." Exactly what needed to be said. www.youtube.com/watch?v=E76-...

Talking to Nikkei: PM Hun Manet is formulating his latest charade by making big proclamations that are a mile wide and an inch deep. The Cambodian government wants to be seen as cracking down when there is actually little likelihood they will do so in a meaningful way asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/So...
