Notre université Paris 1-Panthéon-Sorbonne est littéralement sacrifiée. Avec 50% de coupes budgétaires affectant nos formations, unités de recherche, écoles doctorales, bibliothèques, nous ne pouvons tout simplement plus exercer notre métier d'enseignant et de chercheur cessp.cnrs.fr/communique-d...

This is also the logical conclusion of decades now of slow mainstreaming of far-right talking points Islamophobia, transphobia, anti-immigration discourses were never "legitimate grievances" that deserved to be aired. Their purpose was to prepare the way for this

This is Ceausescu’s Romania to the tee. Amazing that it took American evangelicals so long to get to where an atheist “communist” dictator was back in the 1970’s. Americans are truly behind the rest of the world in every way!

Imagine Mohammed bin Salman being the good guy in the room

time to dig up the @adamkotsko.bsky.social tweet

While these Democrat Senators take a long weekend I quote Ahn Gwi-ryeong, who showed the world how you defeat a President’s coup in the middle of the night: ‘Aren’t you ashamed?!’

1/ 🧵 Excellent new @TheAtlantic piece reveals shocking details about how Murdoch media handled #Brexit: Nobody actually thought it would pass – they were just “having a laugh” (including Boris Johnson)

“Multiple Realities: Experimental Art in the Eastern Bloc, 1960s-1980s”. What an incredible exhibition.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

The partitions of Poland between Prussia, Russia, and the Habsburgs in the 18th c are now widely seen as a hallmark of onshore big-power imperialism. What’s going in Ukraine now is approaching that paradigm, with two big imperial powers claiming land of what used to be the biggest country in Europe

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

This is like if the mob got to fire every federal agent investigating organized crime bsky.app/profile/make...

Spectaculaire illustration d’un système oligarchique mis en place par l’administration Trump au profit d’un homme : Elon Musk. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/u...

Look I agree that Elon Musk appears to be on a lot of drugs every time he appears in public. That's not very interesting to me. I'm more interested in how many drugs he can do at once. I think he could probably do more than anyone ever. I bet he could take way more than the doctors say is safe.

Mediapart a eu accès à un rapport accablant, enterré en mars 2024, visant le président d’honneur du syndicat des galeries d’art. Une affaire emblématique de l’omerta qui règne dans un milieu professionnel qui n’a toujours pas fait son #MeToo. www.mediapart.fr/journal/fran...

À titre de comparaison, il y a 1 an, tous les élèves du CP au CM2 ont reçu un livret pédagogique avec des textes d’Emmanuel Macron et de ses ministres pour les #JO2024. Coût : 16 millions d'€

Yeah the press actually can't report on this, in part because they're scared, but mostly because if they did they would have to admit that these people were a deadly serious threat for years and they spent the whole time whining about kids on college campuses instead.

This idea of an egomaniac, child-mind car-maker becoming powerful racist is not new. Henry Ford published the Dearborn Independent for 8 years which was closed because of lawsuits against its antisemitism. The problem is, nobody seems to be taking legal action against Musk's communication.

Courage aux collègues américain(e)s et souvenons nous qu’en France nous avons une pelletée de gens (philosophes etc) ayant accès aux médias qui pensent que le wokisme est la première menace pour la recherche

The richest man in the world has taken over the US government and his first order of business is taking revenge for the fall of apartheid in South Africa www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Vu la centralité de l'idéologie anti-genre et anti-LGBTQ+ dans la dynamique de fascisation aux États-Unis, en France et partout ailleurs, ça paraît essentiel de suivre (et lire) les chercheureuses qui travaillent sur les violences de genre. Si vous savez pas par où commencer, ça se passe ici 👇

we really have only bits and pieces of whatever Musk and his team are doing to the government we have seen almost no material effects of it yet, but they're obviously coming this is probably the most important story for the media to chase down right now

Dans "A Concrete Alliance", Vanessa Grossman (UPenn) explore les audaces architecturales de la banlieue rouge. Du point de vue américain, une "alternate reality, where the suburbs are known for radical class struggle and norm-shattering architecture instead of social homogeneity and tract homes".

Google spent billions of dollars on this shit.

this is hair on fire democracy in crisis stuff jfc

For people who need villains to wear shirts saying “I’m the villain,” here you go.

Today at 12, the Bundestag remembers the victims of the Nazi regime. Afterwards, the CDU/CSU will put forward resolutions for mass deportations, making German citizenship revocable for the first time since 1945, and the abolition of dual citizenship, and plans to pass these with Nazi votes.
