The official results are expected early Monday, with voter turnout on course to be the highest in decades.

Franceโ€™s left-wing parties projected to finish first in parliamentary elections, keep far right at bay

Against all odds, the socdems beat the liberals and reduced a surging far-right to an embarrassing third place. French fascists are stomping on their berets and cartoonishly snapping baguettes in half.

Irish college agrees to divest from Israeli firms following student protest
  • The double-speak on the divestments in the US is insane, youโ€™ll see a journalist say โ€œthe investments toward Israel are usually smaller than the investments towards the state of Coloradoโ€ and then in the next breath will state โ€œDivestment from Israel will result in higher tuition for the students!โ€โ€ฆ usually theyโ€™ll just offer something pathetic like tuition to like 4 Gazans.

  • NATO starts deploying troops as Russia races to win
  • Honestly, it probably would. This makes me feel dirty to typeโ€ฆ but the liberals are right about Trump, heโ€™s a lot like Putin and is willing to shut out the EU allies in favor of him being an illiberal โ€œdemocratically electedโ€ quasi-dictator. Michael Parentiโ€™s son said Trump is preferable to Biden because heโ€™s willing to wreck the post-WW2 liberal order in his quest for individual power.

  • Senate Democrats split as the Biden rรฉgime eyes strict border move
  • You know there was a time when I legitimately thought the Democrats were at least less shitty than the Republicans but even at that low low bar, Iโ€™m not so sure anymore.

  • US agrees to withdraw troops from Niger amid Sahel regionโ€™s pivot to Russia
  • Thatโ€™s what itโ€™s looking like, if things escalate with Iran, the US will have to make some pact with Russia.

  • How will Latin America be decolonized?
  • The reason why Latin America was so threatening to the US is because so much share a similar culture and only two languagesโ€ฆ Spanish and Portuguese (which are also very similar) and have the revolutionary vigor of heroes such as Comandante Fidel Castro and el Compaรฑero Ernesto โ€œCheโ€ Guevara, then the new USSR will rise.

  • Angolan President: We know what colonisation is and the Chinese are not colonising Africa but cooperating with us
  • Let me explain the โ€œrules based world orderโ€ to you tiny brained turd worlders!

    โšช๏ธ = Good

    ๐ŸŸก = Okay but only if theyโ€™re a semi-colony like Japan or โ€œSouth Koreaโ€.

    ๐ŸŸค [Anything not white] = Bad

  • Gov. DeSantis signs bill requiring teaching of history of communism in Florida schools
  • Even in a very liberal university, whenever (outside of very niche courses) mentioned communism it was always the most insane propaganda. I can only imagine what madness theyโ€™ll teach in Florida. Hopefully itโ€™ll backfire like D.A.R.E. but letโ€™s see.

  • Are Russia and China Doing Enough for Palestine?
  • Directly, no. Indirectlyโ€ฆ absolutely. Russia is an ally of Iran and Syria and their presence looms large over this whole crisis in the region.

  • Cheap meal options? ๐Ÿฅบ
  • Super duper cheap (uses food thatโ€™s already going bad), Castilian Bread Soup. Old bread, garlic, oil, and if you want ham, salami or other meat bits that arenโ€™t their freshestโ€ฆ chop it up into tiny cubes, and throw it in.

    Iโ€™m out and about so Iโ€™d have to get you a good recipe later.

  • the tankies were right
  • When you realize how good the rich have it in capitalism, youโ€™d understand how they are willing to do ANYTHING to not lose their privilege.

  • The Papa Johns closest to the Pentagon was far busier than usual two days ago
  • I know Washingtonโ€™s food scene is better than it used to be but, for real? You guys donโ€™t have a good enough local pizza that your spooks have to choke down that shitty corporate pie?

  • General Discussion Thread - Juche 113, Week 16
  • Letโ€™s say for argumentโ€™s sake that Genocide Joe is too worried about reelection and decides to actually not send direct American assistance. Isnโ€™t โ€œIsraelโ€ potentially biting off way more than they can chew?

  • Iran sends dozens of attack drones towards Israel, say reports
  • Apparently itโ€™s over 100, now how many will get through Jordan and Israelโ€™s defenses, is unknowable right now.

  • In the latest episode of the US โ€œtellingโ€ China what to do:
    www.cnbc.com Yellen says U.S. plans to โ€˜underscoreโ€™ need for China to shift policy

    U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen wrapped up the fourth and final full day of her trip to China on Monday.

    Yellen says U.S. plans to โ€˜underscoreโ€™ need for China to shift policy

    The US and the Westโ€™s in generalโ€™s economy has been reliant on low cost manufacturing in the PRC for over 50 years and now Janet Yellen is conveniently instructing them not to โ€œdump cheap products into the market, driving down prices.โ€ Of course the Middle Kingdom have no reason nor incentive and the Westโ€™s vague threats fall on deaf ears.

    But itโ€™s obvious whatever โ€œtruce frameworkโ€ the US pretended to agree to last month was a load of steaming shit.
