Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."
President Macron: “Europeans, let's wake up!

We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks.”

That they have lived with this trauma & pain for so long is truly heartbreaking. How anyone can support protecting the perpetrators any longer is hard to believe & a complete disgrace!

Trump, Vance and his election-rigging posse tried again in Indiana.

And they failed…again.

The GOP Indiana Senate just voted against having a special session, and voted NOT to return until 2026.

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

The Supreme Court should admit its error and restore the principle that no one, not even the president of the United States, is exempt from the rule of law.
The Supreme Court made a horrible mistake when it gave Trump absolute power

So many of us have been warning the public that RFK Jr. is going to take away access to as many vaccines as he can.

The December ACIP meeting is dedicating an entire day to reviewing “the safety” of the childhood vaccine schedule.

There’s not a shred of credible evidence that warrants this.

Absolutely no way to read this and not conclude that the Department of Justice has been deeply corrupted. And this is from a time when career lawyers were in place, pushing back against illegality. With firings and resignations, the politicization will just get worse.
