🤝 Ovationné lundi 13 octobre par la Knesset, Donald Trump se présente désormais en “président de la paix”, et annonce un “nouveau Moyen-Orient”. Mais pour @karimbitar.bsky.social, il ne faut pas "aller trop vite en besogne" sur l’avenir de la région. ➡️ https://l.lexpress.fr/Z1d

I’m still digesting the recent events in Syria and, like everyone, I have no idea what happens next. But when I see video of political prisoners freed after decades, it feels like a real unraveling of something so deeply rooted in the country that few imagined they’d witness it in their lifetime.

So I joined Bluesky to see if it was different from the Twitter lunacy and tonight I received my first private message here: an invitation to join the Illuminati 😅.

There is no escape!

With great engagement comes great responsibility, which means Bluesky CEO @jay.bsky.team has a lot to do. She sat down with WIRED to talk about it.

"Repeat after me: there was no 'landslide'. There was no 'blowout'. There was no 'sweeping' mandate given to Trump by the electorate. The numbers don’t lie."

My new Guardian op-ed on the new GOP election lie - and why it's important to rebut it! I brought (lots of) receipts:
Donald Trump didn’t win by a historic landslide. It’s time to nip that lie in the bud | Mehdi Hasan
In 2024, we have a new post-election lie – Trump didn’t just win, Republicans say, but he won big. He won a landslide. That’s false

⚖️ 🇮🇱 BHL claims to be a liberal internationalist but succumbs to what Hannah Arendt called “tribal nationalism.”

“The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them.”
