Lily Lynch (@lilylynch.bsky.social) on Sanna Marin’s memoir: ‘Throughout Hope in Action, Marin invokes ‘the collective’ – sometimes to illustrate the qualities of the Finnish soul, at others to give her lust for power an egalitarian sheen.’ newleftreview.org/sidecar/post...

Interesting to read "...the cocktail of heightened geopolitical tension, sudden acts of violence, intensifying ethno-nationalist rhetoric, and irresponsible politicians with large media platforms does warrant elevated concern." From @lilylynch.bsky.social's substack. 1/2

In post-Cold War CEE/Eurasia, there hasn't been a popular protest movement as important as the current one in Serbia that wasn't cultivated and coopted by outside powers. Which explains why the latter are literally speechless about it. By @lilylynch.bsky.social newleftreview.org/sidecar/post...

A must-read - whether or not you care about this part of the world. There is also a lesson here for America (and beyond), it's easy to slide into total corruption and impunity, but takes ages, and is really, really hard to exorcise it. "This is not a revolution but an exorcism."

This isn't some dystopian piece of fiction. This is @lilylynch.bsky.social describing the reality of living with climate change and bad air pollution. And higher temperatures = more air-conditioning = burning more fossil fuels...
Young people are leaving, and those who remain are having fewer children; these trends have brought the Balkans to a point of population collapse. @lilylynch.bsky.social surveys this “demographic oblivion” in our new issue.
