« sans la liberté de blâmer, il n’est pas d’éloge flatteur » (Beaumarchais)
En 1826, @Le_Figaro se dit « satirique, spirituel et batailleur », tel le barbier de Beaumarchais à qui il doit son nom. De littéraire, il devient donc politique !

.@FCC @BrendanCarrFCC & Joseph Goebbels:
-1939 Goebbels banned comedians for mocking Nazi leaders
-2025 Trump allies silence @JimmyKimmelLive & @StephenAtHome
Authoritarians fear laughter as it punctures their power.
Censorship of comedy is about control.

@globeandmail Can’t the Government of Canada, or the Canadian Museum of History — or some similar national entity, recover this document, which is of historical importance for our country?

@bluhue123 YES!

[Frederick (Russ) Russell-Rivoallan @RussInNormandy]

So Kimmel expressed an opinion, protected by 1st Amendment & gets cancelled, while Kirk, who spewed hate, promoted violence, demeaned women & pushed racial discrimination is given national honours.
Whose values are out of line? 🤔
Help me understand.

“Genocide is occurring in Gaza. Responsibility for these atrocity crimes lies w/ Israeli authorities at highest echelons who have orchestrated a genocidal campaign for almost 2 years now w/ the specific intent to destroy the Palestinian group in Gaza.”

We have 217 of the 218 signatures required.

We just need one more Congressman to sign the discharge petition in order to force a vote in the House on a bill to release the Epstein files.

Victims deserve justice and Americans demand transparency.

@LucasSa56947288 For those who don’t know:

The phrase “I’ll see you in Valhalla” is a right-wing coded salute to violent martyrdom.

It’s not a casual mythological reference—it’s a way of sanctifying violent extremism, presenting death in the service of right-wing ideology as noble & enviable.

[Frederick (Russ) Russell-Rivoallan @RussInNormandy]

@DisavowTrump20 Trump’s admin ordered flags at half-staff & sent JD Vance aboard Air Force 2 to accompany the coffin.

This isn’t tribute—it’s ritual. A dangerous elevation of hate to the realm of state-sanctioned martyrdom.

History warns us-when hate is sanctified, democracy itself is at risk.

@StephenKing FYI @SwipeWright :
What about Mr Kirk’s own ‘extreme rhetoric’?
Kindly have a peek at some of what he has said in the past, which is documented…

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

One signature away. Call your representative and tell them to sign the Epstein files discharge petition now!

This is sick!
It would appear that the Republican administration is making a martyr of Charlie Kirk for their far-right cause, much like Joseph Goebbels did of Horst Wessel in the early days of Nazi Germany. https://t.co/aqQoRp1Gl5

@HillelNeuer @UNWatch Charlie Kirk’s hate-filled rhetoric didn’t just polarise—it poisoned the civic space. By fuelling division and scapegoating, he undermined the democratic values that hold American society together.

[Frederick (Russ) Russell-Rivoallan @RussInNormandy]

@WhiteHouse Don’t forget Charlie Kirk said: “It’s worth to have a cost of some gun deaths every year so we can have the Second Amendment”
His hate-filled rhetoric poisoned civic space. By fuelling division, he undermined the democratic values that hold American society together.

@NoLieWithBTC If the nation’s foremost military academy alumni association bows to partisan political pressure, what does that say about leadership at the highest ranks? Deeply disappointing.

[Frederick (Russ) Russell-Rivoallan @RussInNormandy]

I hope the @TheDemocrats, @SenateDems & @HouseDemocrats are keeping account of every act being undertaken by @Sec_Noem, @ICEgov & @DHSgov so when they take over in 2026 there will be FULL accountability of the horrific/authoritarian abuses of power they are committing.

« J'ai l'honneur de vous confirmer qu'à la lumière des engagements que
vous avez pris, la France procédera à la pleine reconnaissance de la Palestine comme État lorsque je me rendrai à l'Assemblée générale des Nations unies, en septembre prochain. »
@EmmanuelMacron

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

Fidèle à son engagement historique pour une paix juste et durable au Proche-Orient, j’ai décidé que la France reconnaîtra l’État de Palestine.

J’en ferai l’annonce solennelle à l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies, au mois de septembre prochain.

L’urgence est aujourd’hui que cesse la guerre à Gaza et que la population civile soit secourue.

La paix est possible.

Il faut immédiatement un cessez-le-feu, la libération de tous les otages et une aide humanitaire massive à la population de Gaza. Il faut aussi garantir la démilitarisation du Hamas, sécuriser et reconstruire Gaza. Il faut enfin bâtir l’État de Palestine, assurer sa viabilité et permettre qu’en acceptant sa démilitarisation et en reconnaissant pleinement Israël, il participe à la sécurité de tous au Proche-Orient.

Il n’y a pas d’alternative.

Les Français veulent la paix au Proche-Orient. Il nous appartient, à nous Français, avec les Israéliens, les Palestiniens, nos partenaires européens et internationaux, de démontrer que c’est possible.

À la lumière des engagements que le président de l’Autorité palestinienne a pris auprès de moi, je lui ai donc écrit ma détermination à avancer.

Confiance, clarté et engagement.

Nous gagnerons la paix.

Surprised—& delighted—to hear King Charles mention my former employer @UNESCO during the State Banquet in London 🇬🇧🇫🇷

“Enfin! Not too soon I would argue.”

The depraved #JimmySwaggart is dead! The so-called televangelist saw his empire crumble after scandals in 1988 & 1991 involving prostitutes. His hypocrisy, feuds w/ fellow “preachers” & lavish lifestyle led to public disgrace & defrocking.
