Advocates of liberal democracy tend to veer between triumphalism and fatalism nowadays. But neither perspective really captures the politics of countries like Poland, Serbia, Hungary, Italy and the United States. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/14/world/is-democracy-stalemated/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #hungary #poland #serbia #viktororban #karolnawrocki #democracy

"Unidentified vandals defaced two #Jewish sites in #Dolka, #Poland, over the weekend, spray-painting anti-#Israel slurs and #Nazi #swastikas on the remains of a local #synagogue and a memorial at the Jewish cemetery.

The synagogue, located in southeast Poland, was destroyed by the #Nazis during the #Holocaust, while the cemetery’s memorial, built in recent years by townspeople, symbolizes pre-Holocaust coexistence between Poles and #Jews."

1. I cringe a bit sharing Ynet, but I dont see this anywhere else yet. Important to be aware that it's a right-wing rag if you dont follow Jewish media outlets.
2. This story is why you see some Israel-critical Jews squint at gentile anti-Israel rhetoric and hesitate to take it at face value. Particularly when its presented alongside clearly fucked up stuff.

Ukrainian refugees "generated 2.7% of Poland's gross domestic product (GDP)," according to a recent report by Deloitte and UNHCR, which said that benefit would be "lost" if refugees were to disappear. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/07/world/ukrainian-refugees-poland-economy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #ukraine #russia #russiaukrainewar #immigration #poland

[repost The Left EU] What does an illegal abortion clinic look like?

In Warsaw, just steps from the Polish Parliament, stands the country’s first abortion clinic. A colourful place of care, resistance, and solidarity. Run by courageous feminist activists, it offers what the state refuses: access to safe, self-managed abortions.

A delegation from The Left visited the clinic and brought abortion pills in solidarity, but it is not enough. The need is relentless, and the supply cannot keep up.

This is not freedom. This is not democracy. It’s a systematic violation of human rights.

We want safe and accessible abortions — for everyone, everywhere.
