Le retour de Bruno Le Maire démontre que la littérature érotique conserve ses lettres de noblesse dans les plus hautes sphères de l’Etat. Je m’étonne que l’on ne s’en réjouisse pas plus bruyamment, notamment dans les casernes.

Happy Invincibles Day.

And yet another reminder that genuinely progressive, emancipatory politics must focus on places as much as on people.
No one lives in the liberal abstract contractual sphere. No one.

When the right broke, according to the right "That's what radicalized you all?"

I think this is very insightful and has come through in many right-wing narratives since the Tea Party.

Essentially, right-wing America accepted Obama under the condition that he would absolve them and the country of racism. When he didn’t, they felt victimized and went unapologetically racist.

Peut-être n’est-ce pas si surprenant. @jlmelenchon.bsky.social est-il vraiment autre chose qu’un national-populiste ?

Ses dérives traduisent sans doute la vraie nature de son projet.

On peut hurler être de gauche et avoir cessé, comme lui, de l’être depuis bien longtemps.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Un grand merci à @borisvallaud pour son soutien 🙏✨

I wonder how they’ll square this with the REF scores when only a fraction of 3/4 star work is externally funded, at least in SHAPE subjects.

UK research ‘trying to do too many things’, warns new UKRI leader - Research Professional News Ian Chapman wants funding emphasis on world-leading areas, but experts warn of system “inertia”

Hard to shake off the impression that this discourse is little else than an attempt to disguise shrinking budgets as strategic choices.

Who is going to decide what is not internationally competitive and how?
