JUST IN: Polls closed in France. Exit polls show surprise: —Left coalition (New Popular Front) projected first. (!) —Far-right (RN) has lost its bid to take power. Anti-RN front appears to have worked very well. —No bloc close to majority. Follow this 🧵 for results and more:

The 2nd leading pollster projects a similar result—if anything a higher range for the Left coalition. This wld be a much stronger result than expected for the Macron bloc. If confirmed, key takeaway: Left & Macronist voters transferred onto each other much more than expected. Clear anti-RN front.

We focus on "what we DO for a living" as if our life must be earned by activity. We have devalued ourselves to our activities instead of our existence. Under capitalism: life itself is a commodity with ever increasing costs out of reach by a growing percentage of the population.

As the daughter of a Black Vietnam vet who suffered life long pain from a service related injury but was constantly turned away from care by the VA I can’t even bring myself to read this. My father eventually died of a treatable condition at 62 b/c he was sent home to take ibuprofen by a VA doc.

A 2017 internal Veterans Affairs report shows Black veterans were more often denied benefits for PTSD than their white counterparts. The analysis crunched claims data from fiscal year 2011 through 2016. And disparate treatment started after WWI when it was still called shell shock. It continues.

Black veterans were denied VA benefits for PTSD more often than whiteswww.nbcnews.com “Ever since I came back from Vietnam, I knew that I had a problem, but I didn’t know what it was," said one Black veteran.

Look at this beautiful scarlet ibis (Eudocimus ruber)! Its colour comes from its diet of shellfish, and can be found in parts of South America and the Caribbean. Stunning bird. Photographed at London Zoo (ZSL) 📷 🪶 #birds #nature #photography

Am I cooler than the least cool thing imaginable? Yeah, probably.

Somewhere some Marianne Williamson voter is watching all the angst over Biden erupting in the last week and a half and suppressing the urge to scream, “I TOLD YOU ALL SO!”

This, along with the “get knocked down, get back up” talk is so distressing. This is not a Chumbawuma song! It is the presidency!

The most fun part of this is that yesterday I was called “a nasty piece of work” (lmao) for saying the right was objectively more dangerous. Today I’m on a list made by a cartoon character of “leftists who want 45 to win.” FUCK I LOVE THE INTERNET.

Michael, did you ask for a list? You're welcome! 💗 @mattlav83.bsky.social @poopertricks.bsky.social @ohrobin.bsky.social @4thwallguide.bsky.social @annaleighmaria.bsky.social @theferocity.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/mtsw...
