The Iran-U.S. de-escalation framework has been signed. As always, getting a framework agreed is one thing, but preserving it from disruptive actors or malicious distortion of the text is quite another. Who knows how long it will survive intact? The MoU nonetheless constitutes an important phase – albeit one…
Germany’s Verena Brunschweiger, a self-described “radical feminist,” is promoting the slogan: “My lineage ends with me.” She says she hopes to encourage people, especially White people, to stop having children. She claims that Western pro-natalists only want to “control women, and keep refugees out.” The article…
Russia has now made the strategic decision in response to prepare for war in Europe. The de-escalation framework that unfolded in the U.S.-Iran Lucerne talks largely stayed true to the original Iranian 10-point plan.

I remember several years ago feeling a little dirty after watching a movie about an elite vampire lady-soldier (played by Kate Beckinsale) who learns that everything she’s been taught was a lie, especially regarding her kind’s long-raging…
Pauline Hanson’s National Press Club address last week has thrust the conversation of multiculturalism back into the centre of Australian politics.
