DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

Vlanx s'est suicidé il y a deux jours de n'en plus pouvoir de la fatigue, de la douleur et de l'errance médicale du covid long. Lisez ce thread. Le covid long tue. Le déni généralisé tue. Le non port du masque tue. Chaque perte est terrible. Appliquez et faites appliquer les gestes barrières.

don't have to lie on any of this

Will be interesting to see how a state that shreds its own capacity to collect taxes can sustain global power status

Hard to top the news from the US, but this is nothing short of disastrous. An oil major expanding fossil fuel output while cutting investment in renewables, under shareholder pressure, means public decarbonisation policies are not working. on.ft.com/4hT8sNq

Dans la série "qui a besoin de Bolloré pour se bolloriser ?", le quotidien berlinois Tagesspiegel, après les élections, déroule interview et portrait avantageux au député AfD Gottried Curio, mais s'inquiète de la victoire de "l'extrémiste" Ferat Koçak, élu Die Linke de Berlin-Neukölln.

À dérouler.

a (very timely) reminder of the legacy of germany’s partition:

Bernie sanders fait seul le job de l’opposition démocrate, visite les états pro Trump pour tenir des meetings bondés où il dénonce le pillage des aides sociales par Elon musk et Trump. Un message anti oligarchie et anti corruption qui recoit un écho sans précédant.

1/12 Oren Cass makes a very important point here. While most economists agree that trade intervention is always contractionary (i.e. it reduces the total value of goods and services produced by the intervening country), their agreement is based... www.understandingamerica.co/p/the-one-wo...

"Nous sommes trop délicats": qualifiant les civils palestiniens de "déchets" et de "sous-hommes", Nissim Vaturi, président adjoint de la Knesset, appelle à "tuer tous les hommes adultes" de Gaza www.newarab.com/news/israeli...

Above is what happened to AfD’s support after Musk zoomed in to their rally, below is what happened to the Left’s—if you’re wondering about his ability to play global puppet master.

Poverty rates in Germany in 2023 after the structural reforms (Agenda 2010) introduced by the SPD and the Greens in 2005: 20.7% of children, 18.1% of the elderly, and 16.6% of the population are exposed to the risk of poverty. What they promised was the opposite. The result: AfD 20%.

Un écart impressionnant entre hommes et femmes chez les 18-24.

I wish more people knew about the 1920s Klan because they—perhaps more than European fascists—are the model for Trumpism. This is a good summary and a nice reminder that they do a lot of damage, but in the end, fascists always lose.

I present to you the next deputy director of the FBI!

For the first time in over 20 years, Israel has deployed tanks in the West Bank, after expelling 40,000 Palestinians from refugee camps. This is a prelude to full annexation, and makes a mockery of the ceasefire agreement that Israel continues to violate. [1/3]

Ce scénario reste à peu près crédible. Ce qui aurait été vraiment invraisemblable aurait été que «l’individu sans scrupules» soit ensuite nommé ministre par un chef de l’État «disruptif».

Genuinely frightening to see a conspiratorial extremist who urgently desires vengeance against the regime's enemies and whose only loyalty is to Trump elevated to such a position of power. I don't see how anyone can confidently declare America is not accelerating towards outright authoritarianism.

Victoire par forfait, semble-il. Et ce n’est que la première manche.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

Sheryl Crow has sold her Tesla to protest “President Musk” and donated the money to NPR. “There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with,” she writes.

📌 Vote RN et abstention : une analyse croisée On oublie trop souvent quand on analyse les résultats des élections d’intégrer dans la réflexion les taux d’abstention, d'où des erreurs potentielles d’interprétation. Démonstration avec un croisement vote RN et taux d'abstention. 1/12🧵

There was a shocking report yesterday regarding Yoon’s insurrection. Roh Sang-won was once a general but was dismissed for sexually assaulting a female subordinate. After his dismissal, he became deeply immersed in shamanism and eventually declared himself a shaman.

Politicians in Berlin, @kaiwegner.bsky.social & Ina Czyborra have pressured the FU Berlin to cancel Albanese's & Weizman's lecture. @christinebinzel.bsky.social, @michaelbarenboim.bsky.social and I condemn this in the strongest terms. Below our letters to the politicians in EN & DE, plus a 🧵 1/4

February 12th, 2012. A long thread. Contrary to what most continue to believe, the attempt to put an end to the unprecedented fiscal discipline that destroyed the Greek economy and society did not end with Syriza’s embrace of austerity in 2015. It ended on this day, back in 2012. 1/

Ok sorry but I can’t believe the news coming from the US anymore. This cannot simply be true. No one can be so mind-numbingly stupid to think that deleting an intelligence file that contains the term “confirmation bias” makes any sense whatsoever.

It could mean that the world financial system melts down when investors realize that Elon Musk may selectively default on US debt. Just saying.
