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.)

Everyone predicted a far right victory. Take heart.

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.

People, my PSA for all re: Covid. Stay aware and stay vaccinated. Very worrying long-term sequelae after Covid infection continues to be documented.

More evidence about Covid's health toll, and a methodological argument about how we measure "long Covid": if people have organ damage but no reported symptoms, do they have long Covid or not?

If you click on the training section of Project 2025, the first person you meet is Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s national press secretary. You can almost see the concern in her eyes as she stands by Trump, hoping that no reporters will ask her if she is troubled that he does not know who she is.

Yep, they're here.

Seventh and eighth graders in Malvern, Pennsylvania, impersonating their teachers posted disparaging, lewd, racist and homophobic videos on TikTok. The incident is the first known mass attack of its kind by middle schoolers on their teachers in the U.S.

hmmlol

Trump said “I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it.” But Project 2025 is run by Trump's closest aides, raising concerns about cognitive fitness for a candidate who seems unable to recall those around him. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/troubling-...

You know what, I think I already detect the beginnings. And I was there, twitter 2016, and knew "something" (didn't know what at the time) organized was happening. Won't be caught off guard this time.

anyway, bluesky is absolutely not ready and not prepared for the flood of authoritarian-funded trolls that are already beginning to flood it, so, you know, block early, block often.

I now think it was a mistake BUT, he had no choice. And that's terrible. So cringe.

Watching the Biden interview, feels very disrespectful and intrusive. 100 questions from Stephanopoulos about his mental state and how many cognitive exams he's had. "Have you had a full neurological and cognitive evaluation?" WTF. Let the man speak and form your own opinion.

this is very sweet. used to be a favorite vacay spot for me. I know how to pick them.😘

The WHOLE of Cornwall is TORY free .

So it looks like we are actually getting the dreaded “technocratic” government 👻 Attorney General with long experience in domestic and international public law Housing secretary who actually lived in social housing Science minister who studied Geography as a mature student 😱

No wait the Telegraph wrote “free reign” in a (sub) HEADLINE?

it will just intensify the feeding frenzy with new bait

It will be a horror show and anyone who thinks this is a good idea is absolutely deluded.

Right. The problem with swapping Biden out as nominee is that it doesn't solve anything. The fundamental obstacle here is a media that *will* destroy any democratic nominee. I don't have a solution.

This is what victory means. An end to one of the most disgusting and anti-human schemes to disappear people ever dreamed up on British shores.

The Telegraph reports that Keir Starmer, on his first day as Prime Minister, is scrapping the "Rwanda scheme,' the Tory plan to deport all asylum seekers & undocumented immigrants to Rwanda wherever they are from. (This was a Starmer platform promise.) www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

Ah, memories.

Remember when he put out that photo of himself "working" at a desk at Mar-a-Lago, and there was nothing on the desk but like a phone and some blank paper? And it turned out it was actually the reception desk? Sometimes I feel like I dreamed the whole terrible farce

the fuck...

what

Right. This is how it has been for the entire campaign so far. Yet some people are somehow very confident that just subbing in another democrat will be any different.

Sitting at my desk working and hear a big splash in the pool and I know who it is! I hope he wasn't too freaked out by all of the fireworks last night, poor big buddy.

If you actually want to see anything like a curtailing of these robber barons owning your whole life you'll bring back the only president of my lifetime who actually took them on where it hurt them and has vowed to raise their taxes
