Romanian Democracy Under Siege
Romania's recent political turmoil represents a stark example of establishment resistance to democratic change. The unprecedented annulment of presidential elections and subsequent targeting of nationalist candidates has raised serious questions about the health of Romania's democracy. This analysis offers a counter-perspective to Politico's recent article, "The shadowy warlord behind Romania's wrecked election," by examining the constitutional crisis through a different lens: one that prioritizes electoral sovereignty and questions the narrative of foreign interference.

🇵🇱 European Elections and Rising Nationalism
Election Season in Europe: National Identity vs. EU Unity As spring 2025 turns to summer, voters from Warsaw to Lisbon—and from Bucharest to Dublin—are filing into gyms, town halls, and makeshift poll stations for the most consequential European election season in a decade.

The Bondi Stabbings: how misogyny motivated a psychotic attack. Content Warning.
The Sydney Bondi Westfield shopping mall is one I know extremely well as I live ten minutes away. I would end up in there for an hour or two each week because my physiotherapist is nearby. Since my partner and I sustained life-changing injuries in a fatal tour bus crash, I would, after physio, as my partner had her treatment, walk slowly and cautiously around the mall. I suffer PTSD from the crash; so, crowds and crowded places, loud noise, are enough to cause a panic attack. Slowly, unknowingly, this shopping mall became a safe space for me. I would shuffle around, buy Pokémon cards, Squishmallows to rest my broken back on, and the occasional coffee and cookie combination. I made friends with a few of the store workers. The injuries from the crash left me socially isolated, I can’t do what I did before, I have chronic pain: the crash was life-changing. It is odd to say, but on reflection, the shopping mall became a haven for me; a place to get a little treat after painful physio sessions. On Saturday, 13 April 2024, when I heard the news of the murders, I had a devastating panic attack.

Trump & KSA: Power, Oil, and Politics
Trump & KSA: Power, Oil, and Politics Few alliances in modern geopolitics have generated as much intrigue, criticism, and speculation as that between former U.S. President Donald J. Trump and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is a relationship built not merely on diplomacy, but on towering stakes: oil, arms, influence, and ideology. From lavish state receptions in Riyadh to controversial arms deals and mutual interests in regional security, the Trump-KSA connection became one of the defining features of his foreign policy. As Trump reenters the global stage with renewed political ambitions, the echoes of his engagement with Saudi Arabia continue to shape the narrative of U.S. involvement in the Middle East—and may once again become central in his potential return to power.
