Merci. Je crois qu’on manque cruellement de leaders actuellement. Les manifs sont minuscules, les gens ont peur. Aucune n’a atteint la taille de la marche pour les femmes.
Pour l’instant la sidération domine.

I am disgusted with my adoptive country. The bullies are in control, in full control. Watching Vance doing his little show (maybe tired of being in the backseat for too long), demonstrating that he can also be a total ass, like the favorite son Elon.

Je suis franco-américaine et j’ai honte. Votre commentaire est beaucoup plus juste que tout ceux qui montrent du doigt les États-Unis.
Si l’Europe s’était dressée comme un seule homme, unie, déterminée à arrêter Poutine, Zelensky serait peut-être arrivé dans une meilleure situation à ce meeting.

Stopping the asylum program does not help the price of eggs either. And the immigration in this case is a legal one, people have documents, authorization to work. Asylum seekers are not criminals. Time to be really clear on the agenda and the motivations of the agenda.

Dernière station avant le fascisme ? Levons tout de suite une équivoque. Je n’ai jamais été enclin à crier au fascisme pour stigmatiser l’extrême-droite, voire la droite la plus conservatrice. Cette paresse intellectuelle qui a caractérisé une partie de la gauche, allant jusqu’à une forme de pavlovisme idéologique, ne nous a pas aidés à comprendre les dangers du moment ni ceux de l’avenir. Pour ma génération politique, dans les années 1970-1980, Chirac était « fasciste », et son séide Toubon tout autant. Passons, surtout au vu de l’évolution…

And therefore, the knowledge of the past is unnecessary?
And by the way we still avidely consume the produce of slave work, everyday, including when we’re using our phones or computers. Now you can claim slaves are not owned by westerners, it’s just delusional.

That’s like saying there is little value in history or historical facts. Definitely a MAGA philosophy. Amnesia, poor reflection on the past, perfect recipe to manipulate people.

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image.

All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.

I suspect from other states too. I am French American living in Maryland but I’ll choose Canada if we get there… it sounds like a prank, but yes, if we get there U.S. citizens will have to seriously decide.

DeLauro: Musk.. clearly does not want to have to answer any questions about how much he plans to expand his business and businesses in China. And how many American technologies he plans to sell to the highest bidder.

Trump Names Charles Kushner as Pick for Ambassador to France The announcement elevated Mr. Kushner, the father of President Donald J. Trump’s son-in-law and the recipient of a presidential pardon at the end of Mr. Trump’s first term.

"Mr. Kushner, 70, pleaded guilty in 2004 to 16 counts of tax evasion, a single count of retaliating against a federal witness and one of lying to the Federal Election Commission"
and so now he will be US ambassador to France
