Il y a 87 ans, la signature du pacte Molotov-Ribbentrop ouvrait l'un des chapitres les plus sombres de l'histoire européenne.

En cette date marquante pour l'histoire de notre continent, nous honorons et rendons hommage aux victimes des régimes totalitaires du monde entier.

🇺🇸 JUST IN: ​CNN reports that 75% of Americans believe President Donald Trump should be impeached, tried, and imprisoned.

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

Israel continues to destroy civilian infrastructure as shown in this video, which captures the Israeli army destroying solar panels in southern Lebanon.

Amnesty International has previously documented extensive destruction by the Israeli military along Lebanon’s border before and after the November 2024 ceasefire. We called for reparations and the investigation into this for war crimes. So far, neither has appeared.

Since the more recent 2026 “ceasefire”, civilians in southern Lebanon’s border villages, many of whom are displaced, are continuing to witness their homes, land and infrastructure destroyed.

Israel must stop the unlawful destruction of civilian property across southern Lebanon.

[Jeff (Hot Type) Jarvis @jeffjarvis]

For years, I among many have called on the White House correspondents to cancel their conflict-ridden dinner. This year, they play host to those who would destroy them: Trump plus Hegseth, Miller, and now Carr, each invited by state media mogul Ellison. And no comedian; no truth. This is journalists inviting their own doom. Disgusting.

While the world’s eyes are on Iran, Israeli settler violence in the West Bank is rising. The Economist analyses how settlers are annexing more territory, empowered by tacit and explicit support from Binyamin Netanyahu’s government.

What a surprise …

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

The White House is completely silent as BBC confirms a consistent pattern of massive financial spikes occurring just minutes before Donald Trump makes market moving announcements. The administration is facing severe allegations of illegally profiteering off inside knowledge.

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

Omer Bartov is an Israeli professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University. His new book, “Israel: What Went Wrong?,” argues that Zionism has morphed into an ideology of extremism that led to genocide in Gaza following the Hamas attacks of October 7th. He joins David Remnick on #RadioHour to discuss. Listen to the full episode: https://t.co/N13NpruPW0

More than scary - monstrous. Disgusting. Despicable. #DOGE #scum

[PBS News @NewsHour]

A federal judge has ruled that deposition videos of two former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffers can remain online, rejecting claims that potential embarrassment outweighed public interest in the case. The former DOGE employees, Justin Fox and Nathan Cavanaugh, testified that they used OpenAI’s ChatGPT to identify grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) they believed violated President Donald Trump’s executive order targeting “radical and wasteful” diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

Determinations of which grants to cut were made by feeding short summaries of projects into ChatGPT and asking the chatbot if there was any connection to DEI, according to discovery materials released by the American Historical Association in March as part of a lawsuit against the NEH. The DOGE employees appeared to rely on the technology to compile a list of 1,477 grants to terminate, nearly every active award made during the Biden administration. The cuts clawed back more than $100 million, nearly half the federal agency’s budget, throwing organizations into turmoil and forcing some projects to shut down.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Trump is suspending sanctions on Iran and Russia, which will put over $15 billion in their treasuries to help them fund the wars against us. It’s stunning. We have never ever seen this level of war incompetence in American history.

“The biggest disappointment of 2025 may well have been not what Trump did but how so many let it happen.” @sbg1 reviews the year in politics.
