Suite à la mort de Quentin Deranque, un narratif commence à émerger dans les médias mainstreams, faisant de Lyon une "capitale DES extrêmes".
C'est une distorsion de la réalité : ce sont les mouvements d'extrême droite qui se sont implantés et ont fait le coup de poing à Lyon depuis presque 30 ans

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis
Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.
We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

ICYMI: I asked AG Bondi if she would apologize to the Epstein survivors for the harm her DOJ has done to them. She refused — she wouldn’t even look at them.
I will never stop demanding accountability and justice for these incredibly brave survivors.

i think nominating Gavin Newsom will lose the White House again for Democrats. The party's left flank will stay home again because he's an empty corporate shell. The age of Democrats punching left to appeal to the center is over and it's now a matter of if the party as a whole realizes that or not.

Hi friends,
As many of you know, ICE is operating in ways that tear families apart, enter homes without warrants, and traumatize innocent people. This is not law enforcement — this is terror and an abuse of power.

States aren’t “agents” of the federal government. Amendment X: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States….” Also, our Constitution assigns to the states the administration of federal elections, dumb ass.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

Palantir reported $1.5 billion in losses from 2020-2024.
That allowed them to pay $0 in federal income taxes.
So how did they spend $64 million on stock buybacks and pay their CEO $3.3 billion over roughly the same period?
This tax code is a complete joke.

Walmart is officially a trillion-dollar company.
Today the retail giant joined the ranks of Meta, Tesla, Amazon and more to pass a $1 trillion market cap.
Meanwhile, starting pay at Walmart is as low as $14/hour, and thousands of its workers have to rely on SNAP and Medicaid.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.
