C'est du Sartre, ce n'est pas tout jeune, mais je trouve que cet extrait reste pertinent, surtout en cette période de "noyer la zone sous la merde" comme le stratégise Steve Bannon.
(L'extrait est de"Réflexions sur la question juive, 1946)

Ne croyez jamais que les antisémites ignorent totalement l’absurdité de leurs réponses. Ils savent que leurs propos sont frivoles et susceptibles d'être contestés. Mais ils s'amusent, car c'est leur adversaire qui est obligé d'utiliser les mots de manière responsable, puisqu'il croit aux mots. Les antisémites ont le droit de jouer. Ils aiment même jouer avec le discours car, en invoquant des raisons ridicules, ils discréditent le sérieux de leurs interlocuteurs. Ils se plaisent à agir de mauvaise foi, puisqu'ils ne cherchent pas à convaincre par des arguments solides mais à intimider et à déconcerter. Si vous les serrez de trop près, ils se tairont brusquement, indiquant haut et fort par une phrase que le temps de la dispute est passé.

Budget 2026 : qui paie le redressement des comptes publics ?

Tout le monde.
Les retraités, les classes moyennes, les malades, les chômeurs, les plus précaires…

Tout le monde, sauf les super riches et les grandes entreprises.
Une fois de plus.

On résume : Sur un réseau social tenu par un facho, les fachos reprochent à d'autres fachos d'avoir organisé une manifestation de fachos avec des fachos pas assez blancs. Donc pas assez fachos... C'est clair ?

C'est le preneur d'otages forcené de l'Elysée qui rêve de mettre le pays dans les bras du RN. Il préfère ça à confier la formation du gouvernement à la gauche. Quitte à ce qu'ils se plantent (ou que LFI les plante).

Democrats shouldn't let go of these Young Republican messages.

Have the right-wing defend it. The VP, JD Vance, already has, and the talking points have been delivered to the MAGA base.

They keep deflecting and doing both sides, but nothing is comparable.

Just keep it in the news.

Dans sa déclaration de politique générale, Sébastien Lecornu a réussi à faire pire que François Bayrou, en ne mentionnant pas une seule fois ni la crise climatique ni l'effondrement de la biodiversité.
En 2025, ça paraît assez incroyable, mais c'est le Premier ministre qu'Emmanuel Macron a choisi.

Not only them. See the piece reposted: they plan an "Office of Remigration" at the State department.

On en est à déclarer l'état d'urgence pour porter assistance aux gens impactés par les raids des milices fédérales de Trump.
Pour le contexte le comté de Los Angeles dont on parle ici, c'est le compté le plus peuplé des USA avec environ 9,6 millions d'habitants.

John Pfaff @johnpfaff.bsky.social · 4h

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

They're trying to prevent the student newspaper from printing news, period. Not just a particular story.

"The Media School directed us to print no news in the paper... nothing but information about homecoming — no other news at all, and particularly no traditional front page news coverage."

adviser amid push to control
student newspaper's content

The director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper.

As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat.

But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.

Trump is saying the quiet part out loud: he sent a $20B taxpayer-financed bailout to help his far-right buddy Milei cling to power.

Meanwhile our government is shut down, public servants aren't getting paid & we're barreling toward a Trump-made health care crisis. Sounds like Argentina First to me.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.
