A record-breaking December 1 tree. Feels like we all need a bit more sparkle and hope right now.



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.

Les heures sont comptées pour Barnier. Comme promis, LFI annonce qu'elle va déposer une motion de censure tout de suite avec le NFP. "La seule façon de sortir de l'impasse politique, c'est la démission de Macron et une présidentielle anticipée", affirme Panot. Mais la situation de l'Assemblée resterait la même...

Jusqu’en juin seulement. Et un président NFP pourrait nommer un premier ministre NFP, qui ferait le travail parlementaire de trouver des terrains d’entente avec les centristes, au lieu de se vendre au RN…

On va faire encore des heures cubes par chez nous si Macron démissionne. Les agents SUC des préfectures et ATE (dont je fais partie) vont vraiment claquer des fusibles.

Yes please.

Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin is taking steps toward a run to unseat current House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jerry Nadler.

Raskin's most notable encouragement has come from House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi.

This weekend, Raskin was calling colleagues to gauge support. axios.com/2024/12/02/raskin-na…



I think Trump's about to remove the FBI not going to lie. I'm sort of horny right now thinking about it.
Is it for all the wrong reasons? Yes. Are they still up my ass because I'm not a huge piece of shit? Absolutely. Bye Felicia 😘
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

"Et ces travailleurs que vous croisez et qui vous disent 'tenez bon', Michel Barnier, ils sont avec nous dans cette pièce ? Ils vous parlent ?"
