A quel point cette évidence semble échapper aux commentateurs qui oeuvrent dans les médias québécois est pour moi une source constante d'étonnement et, je dois avouer, d'inquiétude.

This isn't a subtle point. It's not a matter of opinion. It's a fact & should be reported as such: Trump says racist things & his regime pursues racist policies. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

Sixty-five years ago today, four first-graders desegregated New Orleans's public schools: Ruby Bridges at William Frantz Elementary School, and Leona Tate, Tessie Provost, and Gail Etienne at McDonogh 19 Elementary School. They faced violent mobs and threats to their lives. They were 6 years old. 🗃
