Des députés Ensemble qui affirment qu’EELV (!!!) ne fait pas partie de l’arc républicain alors que l’on vient d’apprendre qu’Edouard Philippe est allé tranquillement dîner avec Marine Le Pen. Folie.

Of all the Zelensky clips circulating, this one is the best. Zelensky in “Servant of the People” receiving a call from Chancellor Merkel to tell him his country had been admitted to the EU… and then “oh, this is Ukraine? I meant to call Montenegro”

There are a lot of calls for military aid to #Ukraine at the moment. This might well be morally justified. But it will have little impact on the situation on the ground.

Je dois malheureusement exprimer mon désaccord avec le Président de la République : en quatre saisons Emily n'a toujours pas su s'intégrer, sa place n'est plus en France, nous devrions nous réjouir de son départ en Italie et ce sera désormais à Mme Meloni de s'occuper de son cas.
Macron s'est trouvé un nouveau cheval de bataille: empêcher la série "Emily in Paris" de partir à Rome: "Nous allons nous battre. Et nous allons leur demander de rester à Paris!", déclare le président. Enfin, un combat à sa mesure variety.com/2024/global/feat…

I’m so sorry to see my friend @neeratanden abandon the OMB nomination on the basis of ludicrous double standards. She’s an incredibly qualified and profoundly decent person and I’m sure she’ll continue to serve her country in other ways.
President Biden: "I have accepted Neera Tanden’s request to withdraw her name from nomination ... I have the utmost respect for her record of accomplishment, her experience and her counsel, and I look forward to having her serve in a role in my Administration."

When it comes to vaccinating vulnerable populations against #COVID19, no country should be left behind. Glad Afghanistan is now receiving #COVAX vaccines - thanks to support from @EU_Partnerships (with @EIB, EU Member States, Norway and Iceland), @USAID, @FCDOGovUK and others.

The first batch of 468,000 COVID-19 vaccines under the #COVAX initiative has arrived. This is exciting news and big congratulations to @MoPHofficial. 👏 👏 👏

As a dual French-US national: look, France has seen two ex-presidents *convicted* for wrongdoing — Chirac on corruption, Sarkozy on illegal campaign financing — and the country didn’t blow up because people realize that even ex-presidents should have to answer for crimes.

As with far right movements everywhere, the American hard right is fueling the current anti-immigrant wave on Irish social media (though I’d imagine Russian bots are also responsible). Doesn’t mean there isn’t domestic anti-migrant sentiment but it must be taken in context.

The most ridiculous thing about the sudden conservative obsession with trans athletes in women’s sports in the US is that they generally did not care one little bit about women’s sports before they became a way to bash trans folks
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) introduces an amendment to the COVID relief bill about ... trans athletes in sports?
"Under this amendment, educational institutions would prohibit from receiving funding if by biological males are allowed to compete in women's athletics."

If you’re a Russian resident and you haven’t lifted a finger to oppose the war that your taxes are financing, then you’re complicit. If you have family in Russia paying Russian taxes that fund bombs and shells, and you haven’t tried to talk sense to them, you’re complicit too.
I still can't get over how a Russian girl (who used to be my good friend) told me that she didn't want to read/see what her country is doing to Ukraine because she "can't do anything about it."
She is more concerned about the Russophobic messages she gets, says it's "not fair."

Now official. And absolutely horrific. Abortion is a basic human right. Roughly 1 in 3 women have had or will have an abortion at some point in their lives. And everyone should have that choice. Yet the U.S. Supreme Court has just enabled states to turn them into criminals.

Excellent news. Know lots of great people have been pushing for this — chiefly among them @avalaina. One day, Russia will be forced to answer for its crimes against humanity in Ukraine.
EU Justice Commissioner Reynders announces the international centre for the prosecution of the crime of aggression will be operational in The Hague as of *July*. It will gather evidence which could one day be used in tribunals, not yet established, over the invasion of Ukraine.

The new soft “forget Ukraine” discourse seems to be: we aren’t showing compassion for other places and people in the world facing humanitarian crises so we shouldn’t care about Ukraine either, as if we shouldn’t care about Ukraine, Yemen and Afghanistan all at the same time.

I’m not one for idolizing leaders. Politicians are imperfect human beings, like all of us. Plenty of friends of mine voted against Zelenskyy in 2019. But whatever you think about his record *up to* February 24th, 2022, Ukraine couldn’t have dreamt of a better wartime president.
500th day of full-scale war. President Zelensky publishes a beautiful and impressive video of his visit to Snake Island. This man is a leader of historic proportions.

This is all that matters to them. Not rebuilding the city they’ve just flattened, not actually doing anything to help the inhabitants of the city Russia destroyed, living in rubble without access to water or electricity — just erasing any sign of Ukrainian national identity.
