Lot of questions about why Macron called snap elections. One clear factor: By ordering speed campaign, he expected Left could not unite, & so they'd be knocked out in Round 1, helping his own party. Instead, Left united within days—& now surged to win biggest bloc in Assembly.

I just personally think Sage and Molly Shah are clowns that’s all

Please note the wildly incorrect polling in France. No matter what the cacophony of pundits keep saying, polls are not predictive, and are never the end of the story. Organizing, volunteering, engaging in conversation, and direct action are effective tools. Let's use them here too.

BREAKING NEWS: Voters turned out in numbers not seen in decades to stop the far-right National Rally from taking power in the French National Assembly. Polls predicted a first-place finish for National Rally, which instead came in third in initial results as polling stations closed.

OH, a big result: Marine Le Pen's *sister* has LOST her bid to join Parliament. She led 40% to 26% in Round 1. Her left opponent won by 0.5%. (Macronist, who came in 3rd, initially said she wouldn't drop out but then changed her mind. Ended up blocking Le Pen.)

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:

Fascists are always weaker than they seem. Do not give in. Do not. We have not lost.

OMG OMG OMG OMG vive la france

Info I hear from France suggests results may be very surprising. I had to double check I was reading right. Now appears to be confirmed by *EARLY EXITS* in Swiss media: RN weaker than expected. Fight for first between left & Macronists, though RN possible still in right for low plurality.

Artificial scarcity is an existential part of the Republican Party. Convince the working classes they must fight each other for pieces of the needlessly-small pie, while the GOP gets busy cutting taxes & creating new subsidies for billionaires.

The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer

Republican-led states are blocking summer food benefits for hungry familieswww.usatoday.com Money for food is especially tight for families in a dozen states where Republican lawmakers declined to accept federal food assistance.

That future us USians are fearing? Gazans are living. Let’s get ‘em out.

It's a heartbreaking feeling to witness your efforts to speak out and protect your family end in failure.I'm unsure if we can persevere or if we'll succumb like Zatar. 🔗 gofund.me/6d3bce17 #freepalestine #savepalestine #palestine Among the pictures is one of Zatar when he was young, at our home💔😭

Love Paolini so much. Heart broken for Keys. Not like that. “I’m feeling a little bit happy but also sad for her.” -Paolini

I actually think we can evolve to spot them sooner if people listen to survivors bc I saw this dude coming a mile away #sorrynotfuckingsorry

It's perfectly understandable to have not suspected anything before, but I honestly don't know how anybody can hear the recent news and think there's a chance it's not true instead of "oh, come to think of it, Gaiman did always have Faux Softboy Creepo 'Ally' vibes coming off him like stink lines."

Watching this Coco match I’ve gotten little Euros updates and it’s been a very pleasant experience.

Much respect to @auberon.bsky.social for beginning to organize a strike registering popular dissent against the Supreme Court. THERE ARE MORE OF US. We are legion. Find your bravery.

Happy Friday morning, Bluesky ☕️ I have taken some more steps toward organizing a 24 Consumer strike in protest of SCOTUS. Please reply yes, aye or whatever your choice of support in the comments, so I can see if this will be viable. Thank you in advance

Our normie neighbors were just extremely cool to the queer couple next door and these days you expect everyone to be a monster and sometimes that’s just not the case.
