@darializaforny.bsky.social vient de gagner sa primaire !! TOUS les candidats soutenus par Zohran Mamdani ont gagné !

trying to imagine describing the last 13 months of NYC elections to any five random people in Zuccotti Park in 2011 (when I feel like I knew of maybe two DSA members who were under 50?)

Everything is just about marketing and it doesn’t help that we’re all becoming illiterate

One of the more depressing things I’ve noticed about covering politics since I started my career more than a decade ago (yikes) is I feel like the higher you go up in the chain, the less people actually talk about issues. It’s all about the style and tone and presentation.

You know what’s a great song? Corpus Christi Bay by Robert Earle Keen, just perfect, they should teach it in country music school

50% of American workers say they want to join unions, but 10% of workers are IN unions. Where’s the disconnect, you might wonder? The game is rigged. www.epi.org/publication/...

Every election cycle I’m reminded of the cardinal rule for LFI and polling. All the presidential polls are bullshit, they are not to be trusted, except the ones that show Mélenchon doing better. Then you’re allowed to talk about them as much as you want

Wrote this 4 years ago about Cyril Hanouna but I think it aged pretty well!

Vous vous souvenez du débat autour de la taxe GAFAM en 2019 ? À l’époque, j’avais déposé une demande d’accès à des documents publics aux 🇺🇸 et on vient de me répondre. Selon ces échanges internes, un haut fonctionnaire de Bercy aurait dit à son homologue 🇺🇸 que la loi avait des origines "populistes"

Journalism is always and forever locked in a power struggle with society's powerful people. Some journalist are just too stupid or craven to do their part. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/notes-on-a...

C’est ce soir à la fondation Jean Jaurès ! Je parlerai de mon livre et de la gauche aux USA (Mamdani, les socialistes, les progressistes et les populistes de gauche) www.jean-jaures.org/agenda/et-si...

Content d'avoir écrit sur le sujet car l'année dernière, à la même époque, j'étais vendeur en boulangerie, et j'ai donc vu de près la gueule du "volontariat", quand on est payé au smic.

Mike Johnson critique le pape quand il s'exprime sur sur des sujets « politiques ». C'est plutôt culotté de sa part ! Voici comment son collègue Tim Burchett s'adressait à des donateurs républicains dans le Tennessee en 2024. (Extrait de mon livre Le Miroir américain, p. 56)

Et si l’Amérique de Trump annonçait l’avenir de la France? Beaux échanges à #LeLivreAMetz: Cole @colestangler.bsky.social alerte sur cette possibilité. @nastasiahadjadji.bsky.social Hadjadji décrypte l’ascension des «technofascistes».

The French Left is divided (again). But @luciecastets.bsky.social, former PM nominee of the New Popular Front alliance and newly-elected mayor of the 12th arrondissement of Paris, still believes it can and should unite for the 2027 elections and beyond. From Ep 4 of What Do We Want?

In The Nation, @colestangler.bsky.social writes on what happened in France's local elections the other day: www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Great article from @phineasjfr.bsky.social about the strong performance of the French Communist Party on Sunday jacobin.com/2026/03/fran...

Claims from the center-left that deals with La France Insoumise cost them winnable races don't hold up. But neither does Mélenchon and LFI's narrative of a "historic breakthrough." www.thenation.com/article/worl...

For left-wing parties in France, the mixed bag of election results is all but guaranteed to fuel a fratricidal war, writes @colestangler.bsky.social. Intra-left bickering shows no signs of subsiding. It's a shame. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

My story for @thenation.com on France’s municipal elections. Left-wing parties had some big wins but there are plenty of reasons to be concerned. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

France's political & media establishment does not like LFI, the party is unfairly criticized, often in obscene ways, and its voters are written off. Yesterday LFI proved once again it has sway. But please do not abandon all critical analysis and gobble up LFI spin 100% either...

For @thenation.com, I spoke with Dominique de Villepin, France's fmr foreign minister best known for leading opposition to the Iraq War in 2003. He blasted today's illegal war, the timid response from 🇪🇺, and told me those responsible need to be held accountable. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

🚨2e épisode de WHAT DO WE WANT? 🚨 Quelques jours avant la primaire démocrate dans l'Illinois, @katmabu.bsky.social explique pourquoi elle parle autant de Gaza. Si elle est élue, elle deviendra la plus jeune représentante au Congrès de l’histoire des États-Unis www.youtube.com/watch?v=3G81...

In Lebanon people are sleeping in cars or sitting in front of schools, which have opened their doors to displaced, because there is nowhere else to go. I witnessed one woman begin screaming outside one school who said they had no more place. People sat along the walls or on motorised scooters.

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

Declaring a “War on Fraud” has long been a political smokescreen: target poor people, protect bigger corruption. @colestangler.bsky.social reported on the playbook in 2013, when SNAP fraud was tiny, while crop insurance fraud was far larger and expanding. inthesetimes.com/article/look...

La députée @delia.bsky.social, proche de AOC, Zohran Mamdani et Bernie Sanders, m'a expliqué pourquoi les élections de mi-mandat aux États-Unis devraient être favorables à l'aile gauche du Parti démocrate. 1er épisode de WHAT DO WE WANT www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXgA...

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

💡 En pleine glorification de l'extrême droite en France d'une campagne de caniveau à Marseille, cette interview relève le niveau et remet du baume au coeur. Merci !

1er épisode de WHAT DO WE WANT ? La députée Delia Ramirez, proche de AOC et Bernie Sanders, sur la résistance à l'autoritarisme, l'avenir du Parti démocrate, et la politique étrangère des 🇺🇸 après Trump. Regardez sur YouTube, il y a des sous-titres en français :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXgA...
