Danke für die Nachfrage - und leider nein.
Die #Judikative wie das BVG kann hier kaum helfen, da die #Legislative wie der deutsche #Bundestag ja weiterhin #dejure alle Rechte auch nach Art. 38 #Grundgesetz hat. Die #defacto - Beschränkung ihrer Rechte durch GG-sinnwidrige Koalitionsverträge & Koalitionsausschüsse (seit 1961) nehmen die Abgeordneten ja bisher freiwillig hin! Das Aufbegehren der #JU gegen #Merz war daher wichtig.
How does #Taiwan use its relationship with #Somaliland to secure its #Identity on the world stage? This #study applies #OntologicalSecurity theory to explain why #DeFacto states pursue ties that offer narrative legitimacy rather than physical protection.

This article receives PolGeoNow's periodic tip of the hat for avoiding the news media standard of calling #Puntland state "semi-autonomous". Puntland as about as autonomous you can get, not even cooperating with #Somalia govt except when it feels like it.
Honored for our #Somalia control #map to have been featured in the second installment of The New Humanitarian's "rebel rule" series on #rebelgovernance in areas outside control of official govts.

Best/worst quote:
<<"We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," Kimmel said.>>
The excuse that it is a financial decision -- no fig leaf is big enough to cover the shame

NOW (as of yesterday) #Canada really does say it's planning to recognize #Palestine as an independent country (in Sept., like #France).

However, #USA veto at UN Security Council is already the only thing preventing #Palestine from becoming a full member of the #UnitedNations - last time it was considered, #France voted in favor and #UK abstained. https://press.un.org/en/2024/sc15670.doc.htm

#FactCheck: #Canada has apparently NOT so far followed #France in announcing plans to recognize #Palestine as independent country, despite today's Middle East Monitor headline claiming that.

#France says it plans to recognize #Palestine as an independent country in Sept. About 3/4 of world's countries already recognize it, but France would be the most powerful Western-aligned government do so yet.

In response to #Somalia's #Taiwan passport ban, 2 of US's 535 national-level legislators (a hardline Trump ally and a rep from #Minnesota, intl capital of Somali diaspora) made unusual threat of revoking US recognition of UN member Somalia's #independence for what they called "acting as...a branch office" of #China's ruling party.

Reports on #Somalia's new entry ban for #Taiwan passports fail to explain Taiwan's advice against citizens visiting #defacto independent #Somaliland too. Missing piece: Per UN's #ICAO, Somaliland airspace (but not airports, land borders) falls under #Mogadishu air traffic control.

4. Almost all media fall in this trap, but: It's wrong to call #Puntland a "semiautonomous region". Puntland is *entirely* autonomous (self-governed/controlled), now not even cooperating with #Somalia federal govt. It says it's part of Somalia in principle, but that's about it.

Gehört vertieft - fand Veronika Fillitz und hat deswegen mit Alexandra Ebert und mir darüber gesprochen, wie man Audio-Fakes erkennt. Und einmal schaut auch kurz Angela Merkel vorbei, aber nicht die echte.

I have been watching "Omar and Cedric: If This Ever Gets Weird (2024)" [0]. It really is a good wrap up of music that has influenced me more than half of my life. "At The Drive-In", "De Facto" and "The Mars Volta". Memories of concerts or listening to music that was ever so energetic, difficult to process, challenging, mindblowing and enjoyable.

Even when people, corporations, groups, +/ nation-states seem to operate in good faith, let's not forget to seek out
who benefits from executive orders, laws, policies, decisions, + actions, etc.
Let's not forget the difference that can grow between the letter of the law + how it is really acted out IRL.
