If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

Depuis plusieurs mois, Donald Trump menace d'annexer le Groenland. Ces ambitions, qui suscitent l’incompréhension dans le monde entier, s'inscrivent dans une longue tradition impérialiste américaine 👇

Marine Le Pen inéligible : loin d’un scandale démocratique, et si c’était juste normal ?

✍️ Le billet de @bouchetpetersen.bsky.social :
Marine Le Pen inéligible : loin d’un scandale démocratique, et si c’était juste normal ?
La peine dont a écopé la leader du RN est la stricte application de la loi, et le résultat des graves délits dont elle a été reconnue coupable.

I hear Chech in my oreillette.
Your French word of the day is "Cheh": slang to express mockingly that someone got what they deserved.

Example:
Marine Le Pen, far-right leader who pitched herself as virtuous and promised to clean French politics, became ineligible after being convicted of embezzlement.
Cheh.

MARINE LE PEN est déclarée coupable de détournement de fonds publics et condamnée à 4 ans de prison dont 2 ferme, 100 000 euros d’amende, 5 ans d’inéligibilité avec exécution provisoire

A priori, elle ne sera pas candidate à la présidentielle 2027

I have said since Trump starting laying the groundwork for the Big Lie in the first part of 2020 that he would not leave office willingly. I have been correct so far. And I'm telling you again he will not leave office willingly. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

Sophie Dubois était à la tête de Nestlé Waters lorsque les pratiques illégales des usines du groupe ont été révélées dans la presse. Pourtant, la dirigeante a assuré ne pas avoir été informée en amont de ces pratiques, ce qui n’a pas manqué d’agacer les sénateurs.

US citizens are in their “find out” era.
Matthew Platkin, Attorney General of New Jersey, is taking on Trump's controversial executive orders.

“We had a revolution, we didn’t want a king,” he tells Anne McElvoy on our Power Play podcast, “And right now this president is acting like a king.”

If you don’t have headphones, don’t listen to your phone on speaker. How is this something complicated to understand ? I am baffled. When I ask politely, nicely, with a smile, if please they could use headphones or turn the volume down, I am yelled at, insulted, or told I am the annoying one. Why?
