Poland halted asylum claims at the Belarus border and now wants Europe to follow its example

Ukraine's steel industry is nearing collapse — and calling for help from abroad

‘Working People Won’: Unions Score Deal to Shield Federal Workers From Government Shutdown Firings
The settlement announced Friday settles litigation stemming from the Trump administration’s actions during the 43-day government shutdown in 2025, which was the longest in US history. The administration had directed agencies to implement reductions in force (RIFs) targeting workers whose programs it deemed inconsistent with President Donald Trump’s agenda.

'Anonymous' sent 23 donations at the behest of Mayor Bass in under 2 weeks
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has filed hundreds of state-mandated “transparency” reports intended to disclose millions of dollars donated to third parties at her behest, but at least 23 filings reviewed by The Center Square show her requesting money from "Anonymous." Anonymous donations are legal in some circumstances, but they defeat the purpose of a California transparency system intended to let the public know who elected officials are soliciting for money and what their underlying motivations could be.

How big grocers have been limiting food access in California
As Albertsons protects its profits and gears up to close a handful of California locations — which would lower its operating costs — communities might not get a chance to see these grocery stores replaced. In addition to “lease squatting” uncovered by SFGATE’s investigation on “zombie stores,” companies like Albertsons can maintain their power by blocking competitors through the use of grocery restrictive covenants: stipulations written into deed and lease agreements that limit or completely prohibit the operation of a grocery store on a piece of property.

Ethiopia’s new rebel alliance faces an old problem
We have seen part of this story before, though this time the alliance took longer to form. In November 2021, nine opposition groups hastily announced the United Front of Ethiopian Federalist and Confederalist Forces. Tigrayan forces and the OLA advanced towards Addis Ababa, while the alliance’s leaders spoke of dismantling Abiy’s government and installing a transitional authority. By January 2022, the Afar Revolutionary Democratic Unity Front had left the united front, accusing the TPLF of killing Afar civilians. In December of the same year, the Benishangul People’s Liberation Movement signed a peace deal with the regional government. The federal army counterattacked, Tigrayan forces withdrew from neighbouring regions and the TPLF eventually signed the 2022 Pretoria agreement with the government. That pact required the TPLF to stop supporting armed groups elsewhere in Ethiopia. The same pattern could repeat itself. The lesson is not that 2026 will mirror 2021 exactly. The new alliance includes Fano, whose fighters stood with the federal government against the TPLF during the earlier war and now fight Abiy. The government is also fighting on several fronts. But the precedent shows how quickly a common enemy can stop being enough when battlefield fortunes change. Both Fano and the TPLF claim western Tigray, or what the Amhara call Wolgait-Tsegede. The founding statement offers no settlement. A Tigrayan leadership that abandons its claim risks alienating people displaced from their homes; a Fano leadership that concedes it risks losing the support of fighters for whom the territory is central. Calling the issue a matter for later negotiations buys time but does not create a compromise. The same problem reaches beyond the north: Oromo, Amhara and Somali movements do not share one vision of Ethiopia’s federal order, boundaries or distribution of power.

Not to be extra conspiratorial but Iran is a sophisticated country. I am sure that the fact that the opposition among foreign nationals and exiles is neatly divided between supporters of the bumbling failson and the wacko cult MEK both of which are deeply unpopular within the actual country is by design.

> protest for carrying an iranian flag
originally it is a safavid era flag.
>persian
it is a racial ethnicity coding, like people from england calling themselves british.
>started being called iran in the 1930
many historical books and old poetic songs calling iran, it is a plural words of aryan, they were a group that decenteralized to 3 main groups,parthisans,persians and maads.
persians controled the most parts of iran (considered the current region) and established a more powerful country compared to other two.
>zoroastrin
it is one of the oldest religions of the said region, predates the achameids even.
people have biased toward it because of national identity.
why should they accepted a foreign religion when mainly it converting system was with force of sword?
zartoshtianism also has the same exact principles.
duality of evil and good, a main God (ahura mazda - the source of goodness) and the satan (ahriman - the source of badness) , heaven (pardis) , hell (doozakh) and limbo (barzakh), end times prophecies, a saviour (soshiant)، afterlife punishment and judgement, same moral views etc

>I don't know how you could have direct democracy in a sprawling industrial society that requires highly specialized knowledge
This is an argument against democracy in general, not just against direct democracy as opposed to representative democracy (same as picrel, I fucking hate this image). The only requirement for being a professional politician is being of age and getting elected. Might as well have a technocracy if you're concerned about the competence of the people voting for this or that law.

Direct democracy would probably just mean replacing the current parliaments of the world with citizens elected by way of sortition. Of course, we would also want a dictatorship of the proletariat along with that.

>>2919869
This is funny because it's the literal argument for aristocracy from the man himself, the ship of state.

>>2919728
Direct democracy is just like gang rape.
Representarive democracy is just like oligarchy.

Senate narrowly votes down resolution calling for end to Iran war
All but four Republicans voted against the measure despite concerns that GOP candidates will face fallout in November’s midterm elections from the war’s economic costs. Some Republicans running in tight races have recently broken with President Donald Trump and called for an end to the war to bring gas prices down, a sign of potential voter discontent over the war’s impact on the economy. The Republicans who voted for the resolution were Sens. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Maine’s Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Rand Paul of Kentucky. Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania was the lone Democrat to vote against it.

Journalist and author Kylie Cheung joins us for a survey of abortion rights in the post-Dobbs landscape. We discuss the anti-abortion surveillance state, the medical establishment’s failure to meet the moment, and the right’s construction of a broadly pro-rape politics. We also discuss the Democratic Party’s failures in protecting abortion and their continual usage of reproductive rights to hold voters hostage despite funding genocide—including genocide of pregnant women—abroad.

A Union Feud Shouldn’t Sink California’s Billionaire Tax
While much of the discourse around Prop 40 has understandably been devoted to what it means to tax the billionaires, it is saving Medi-Cal — and not some vague notion of “punishing the rich” — that is the central purpose of the initiative. However, rather than support this pragmatic solution to a looming crisis, Service Employees International Union (SEIU) California has officially remained neutral on the initiative, which was put forth by one of their own member unions, SEIU United Healthcare Workers West (SEIU-UHW). Now investigations commissioned by SEIU California and the international union allege that SEIU-UHW’s president, Dave Regan, the man widely acknowledged as the architect of the tax, has attempted to “extort” support for Prop 40 from them, according to the inflammatory headline in the Los Angeles Times, a newspaper owned by billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong. Coming less than two months before the election in November, the allegations against Regan bear all the hallmarks of a politically timed campaign — an attempt to chip away at Prop 40’s popularity. Now SEIU will have to decide which path to take: save health care coverage for nearly fifteen million Californians, or surrender to the billionaires. The key allegations against Regan are that he attempted to “extort” support for Prop 40 from SEIU California by threatening to investigate governance issues at the state council, and that this action was part of a pattern of “bullying,” directed at women in particular. At issue are Regan’s interactions with SEIU California’s then president, David Huerta, and its executive director, Tia Orr, who claims Regan attemptedPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Woke idpol has lead to the highest ever numbers of people identifying as socialists and communists in the Anglo world. This theory is stupid.
What actually happened is that politics has become mostly about dispositional expression. Wokeness and leftism appeal to one underlying disposition, and right-populism and reaction to another. /Leftypol/'s traditional anti-idpol stance is just what happens when you pair leftism with the underlying autism and alienation of imageboard users, and not for nothing has leftypol become more progressive over time.
