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.

"It's actually only called 'Sham pain' when it's sparkly fash tears from the election year in France"

INTO MY VEINS

Mathilde Panot, President of the La France Insoumise in Parliament which is part of the New Popular Front that just shocked the world, says that France will recognize a Palestinian state in the next two weeks.

SO DELICIOUS

Here's some fashy tears for your Sunday.

The French are used to run-off elections for President i.e. strategic voting for the least worst option, it’s that one cool trick for defeating fascists at the polls

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.

Omg left unity that rare unicorn

Today most of France said “oh wait what the fuck, no” 👌

Aahahahaha I'm going to Ali Wong tomorrow night - just checked her insta and she has already joined the ranks of NZ's greatest Asian stereotypes by travelling with an elderly Asian lady trying to smuggle prohibited food items into the country. How can we not embrace her.

Can I just point out that the accelerating pollution of the information commons makes the few remaining human-curated projects like Wikipedia even more valuable, and that’s why I relentlessly encourage people to double down on improving it.

Depressing that the entire promise of the internet was once that we would have all the world's information at our fingertips, and genAI has, in a very short space of time, completely nullified that idea.

Is 'rewatching Bridgerton for the fictional experimental 18th-19th century racial integration policy' the 21st century lady version of 'reading Playboy for the articles'

Stephen Miller now following Trump's lead and saying he has nothing to do with Project 2025. 1. His organization is on the Project 2025 advisory board. 2. He recorded a video as part of Project 2025 training tools 3. You can see Mandate for Leadership, the Project 2025 publication in the background

This is particularly important to understand because Trumpist authoritarianism is the descendent of Jim Crow far more than say Hitler or Pinochet or Orban, and it's going to look a lot more like 1930s Mississippi than 1930s Berlin.

For most of its history, America hasn’t been a democracy, by any meaningful definition of the term! This isn’t some It Can’t Happen Here shit, in a way, it’s already happened. It just may not have directly affected you.

I will bang this drum forever: in THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE: THE GERMANS, 1933-45 Milton Mayer interviewed 10 ordinary Germans after WW2 to learn how fascism took hold. There was never a moment when everyone woke up:

if you’re waiting for everyone around you to wake up, you’ll wait forever. this is how the people grinding our bones to make their bread WANT you to be. paralyzed, alienated & purposeless

turns out the villain monologue is actually incredibly realistic

Everyone watching any Bond movie: this is utterly unrealistic, no one would stand there and say exactly how they were going to do some awful thing, the Incredibles even made a joke about monologuing. Everyone experiencing reality: Oh. Oh, I see.
