Today in Labor History December 2, 1867: British author Charles Dickens gave his first public reading in the United States at Tremont Temple in Boston. He described his impressions of the U.S. in a travelogue, “American Notes for General Circulation.” In Notes, he condemned slavery and correlated the emancipation of the poor in England with the abolition of slavery abroad. Despite his abolitionist sentiments, some modern commentators have criticized him for not condemning Britain’s harsh crackdown during the 1860s Morant Bay rebellion in Jamaica. During his American visit, he also spent a month in New York, giving lectures, and arguing for international copyright laws and against the pirating of his work in America. The press ridiculed him, saying he should be grateful for his popularity here.

Going to let you know anyone ever in this country that's ever done anything decent in their life. They have a file on them for doing it. That's your reward in America. That's your reward under capitalism for not being a monster. A little man in a box somewhere waiting to put you in a filing cabinet.
This is what you're all having hissy tears over. Good riddance!

"L'exigence de responsabilité et la stabilité, vous l'entendez dans vos circonscriptions, je le sais", affirme Barnier devant l'Assemblée en déclenchant le 49.3. Une affirmation discutable, les Français sont plutôt favorables à la censure, selon les sondages, et encore plus à la démission de Macron

in reply to Nils Wilcke • • •oui un nouveau président va rien résoudre, vu que l'Assemblée est comme ça au moins jusqu'en Juin
Après j'ai vu que des journalistes improvisés constitutionnalists disaient que le CC pourrait autoriser le nouveau PR de dissoudre l'AN avant la fin du délai, mais j'en doute le texte est quand même très clair, il faudrait des trésors d'arguments fallacieux.
