I don't usually sign online petitions, but this one, which is both international and based on #UnitedNations principles, is a good way of affirming a very basic notion: #sexnotgender! @WomenReadWomen @FemlnistCurrent @LMdiplo womensdeclaration.com

No more room for doubt: #fascism is back, with a vengeance. This article sums up the situation well. Il n'y a plus aucun doute : le #fascisme est de retour. Cet article résume bien la situation, aux #USA notamment. CounterPunch.org counterpunch.org/2025/08/29/dom…
French journalists and trade-unionists protest outside the HQ of Agence France-Presse #AFP, the national news agency, accusing it of failing to support colleagues killed by #Israel in #Palestine.
Nous avons pris la parole devant @afpfr mercredi pour dénoncer les assassinats de journalistes gazaouis par Israël. Nous nous apprêtions à appeler nos collègues journaliste de l’AFP à nous rejoindre dans la rue. Mais voilà ce qu’il s’est passé :

"Never send to know for whom the microwave pings; it pings for thee." - Dunn, A. I., poète anglais [Ma traduction : « n'envoie jamais demander pour qui sonne le four à micro-ondes : il sonne pour toi ».]
Ma traduction: "aucun homme n'a le droit de prétendre être une femme. Affirmer être quelqu'un d'autre que la personne que vous êtes constitue une usurpation d'identité, une fraude. Les femmes sont des êtres humains et non pas des fantasmes masculins." #sexnotgender
No man has the right to call himself a woman. Pretending to be someone you aren't is identity theft, and fraud. Women are humans, not male fantasies.
You may have reservations about Tucker Carlson—I certainly do—but this long interview with an Orthodox Christian nun who lives in Palestine is definitely worth watching! On n'est pas obligé d'être un fan de Tucker Carlson pour apprécier cette longue interview avec une réligieuse…

As I have the honour of being a #French citizen, I've just signed this all-important #petition, which has now received over 1.6 million signatures! En avant pour les 2 millions !
Alors que la pétition contre la #LoiDuplomb atteint un record de plus de 1,5 million de signatures, retrouvez ma lettre au Président de la République pour l’exhorter à une seconde délibération conformément à l’article 10 de la Constitution. Il est inconcevable qu’un texte…
“How to save Europe” (Comment sauver l'Europe). An important viewpoint that hardly anyone in the media wants to talk about: thomasfazi.com/p/how-to-save-…
"Nous, on est pour l'union, mais pas avec des gens qui trahissent leur parole juste après avoir sauvé leur siège". Séquence magistrale où @MathildePanot tire à balle réelle sur tous les pseudo-unionistes de gauche (Jadot, Roussel, Tondelier, Glucksmann...). 😂🔥
En effet, cela fait des décennies que les médias occidentaux font semblant de ne pas savoir qu'Israël possède des armes nucléaires. Un silence qui équivaut à une censure. Pourquoi ?
Easy to check. Search @nytimes for "nuclear weapons/Israel" vs "nuclear weapons/Iran" and come back with an answer.

Ironique : Trump constitue peut-être la plus grande force en faveur de la #mondialisation qu'on ait jamais vue. Mais ce sera un processus qui excluera les Etats-Unis.
One irony is that Trump might be the greatest force for globalization ever, but it will be a process that excludes the United States.
So, I have some news. A couple of months ago, I was granted political asylum in Russia. It was strange walking to the immigration office in Moscow. I didn’t think I’d feel like that. With my lawyer, Sergey. It was a rather uncharacteristically, grey, rainy summers day. And…
Thanks for that. FYI Franklin's comments on pride are also quoted in a recent TLS review: the-tls.co.uk/lives/biograph…

The first great American?
Benjamin Franklin was not a modest man. Pride was, he pontificated, the hardest human instinct to subdue. “For even if I could conceive that I had completely overcome it”, he confided to his notebook...
📜 Proud of My Humility The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is a masterpiece of English prose and American wit. I highly recommend it. I read this excerpt at least once a year to keep it fresh in my mind. imetatronink.substack.com/p/proud-of-my-…
