"Il faut l’écrire en toutes lettres pour en réaliser la folie [...] : après trois défaites électorales, dont la dernière a mis ses soutiens en minorité à l’Assemblée nationale, et trois démissions gouvernementales, Macron a reconduit à Matignon l’homme qui venait d’en claquer la porte."

Ce mépris venu de l’Élysée

La reconduction de Sébastien Lecornu à Matignon, cinq jours après sa démission, est stupéfiante parce qu’insensée. Le président de la République a définitivement renoncé à aligner ses décisions sur les aspirations populaires. Seule compte à présent la conservation du pouvoir.

Le Nobel de la Paix va à une des plus fidèles alliées de Trump au Venezuela

Le comité norvégien du Nobel a choisi María Corina Machado, une opposante historique au régime chaviste, « pour son travail inlassable en faveur des droits démocratiques du peuple vénézuélien et pour sa lutte pour une transition juste et pacifique de la dictature à la démocratie ».

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists.

It’s really hard to post this. I know that there are a lot of other important issues asking for money but things have gotten to the point where we need to open ourselves up to your support.

Thank you for your consideration.

We never incited violence, we just called this guy a member of antifa who funded terrorism and told our followers to pay him a visit ha ha and then a totally unrelated group of people threatened to murder him in front of his students ha ha

"The petition to disband our Turning Point chapter is blatantly defamatory," Ava Kwan, outreach coordinator for the Turning Point USA chapter at Rutgers, told Fox News Digital in a statement.
"The accusations of 'inciting violence' and 'making threats' are complete lies," Kwan said. "The same people claiming we're suppressing their free speech are actively trying to silence us for speaking the truth. It's not just ironic, it's hypocritical and absurd."

tpusa_rutgers Do you want to become a socialist? If so, make sure to pay this professor a visit!!!! All jokes aside help us report this professor who has ties to Antifa which now is designated as a domestic terrorist organization. DO YOUR PART AND HELP MAKE RUTGERS A PLACE FOR ALL STUDENTS TO LEARN WITHOUT BECOMING A RADICAL SOCIALIST

La filiale allemande du groupe Havas (contrôlé par Bolloré) a reçu près d'un million de dollars d'une firme israélienne proche du régime Netanyahu pour diffuser de la propagande en soutien au génocide.

Yossi Bartal @yossibartal.bsky.social · 10d

"Bridge Partners, a firm working for the Israeli Foreign Ministry, sent a series of invoices for its “Influencer Campaign” to Havas Media Group Germany. The invoices detailed a sum of $900,000, starting in June and slated to end in November, for a cohort of 14-18 influencers to create content."

Israel is paying influencers $7,000 per post

Netanyahu referred this week to a 'community' pushing out preferred messaging in US media — and boy are they making a princely sum

The Trump admin’s offer to give preferential treatment to institutions that toe the party line reeks of bribery in exchange for allegiance to a partisan ideological agenda.

This is corruption.

Adherence to ‘loyalty oaths’ would usher in a new era of thought policing in American higher education.

L’armée israélienne a par ailleurs annoncé mercredi avoir pris le contrôle du corridor de Netzarim, isolant un peu plus la ville de Gaza, où la Croix-Rouge ne peut plus intervenir.
