Date palm (its fruit) cut in half and peanut butter spread inside, surprisingly

Choosing means losing a little, said by a teacher in highschool when I was struggling to decide what to do after I’d graduate, still remember it 12 years later

Why the aggressiveness, you asked about where they stood politically when it comes to the Palestinian genocide, and I gave you links to public statements so that you could form your own opinion on their leftist-ness.

The article reads:

The delegation included National Assembly deputies Francois Ruffin, Alexis Corbière and Julie Ozenne from the Ecologist party, Communist deputy Soumya Bourouaha and Communist senator Marianne Margate.

The other members were left-wing town mayors and local lawmakers.

17 of the 27 wrote a statement to AFP, calling for Macron to react, medias are reporting it as is (quoted below), there’s no conspiracy from nor against the other 10, they probably just did not make a statement yet or don’t feel like they have a big enough reach to warrant being included. The main point is that they are all being collectively punished from being associated with left-wing parties, by Israel who cancelled their visas. Meanwhile Israel invited the french fascists to a conference on antismitism.

“Invited by the French Consulate in Jerusalem, our missions for 35 years have helped strengthen international cooperation and the culture of peace. For the first time, two days before our departure, the Israeli authorities revoked our entry visas, even though they had been approved a month earlier,” wrote 17 of these 27 elected officials in a statement.

“We want to understand what led to this sudden decision, which resembles collective punishment. (…) This revocation of our authorizations to enter Israel 48 hours before our departure represents a major rupture in diplomatic ties with the French State and our mandates as elected officials of the Republic, which requires an unequivocal position from the highest authorities of our State,” they continued.

“For decades, we have been calling for and demanding that France recognize the Palestinian state. France is finally preparing to take the step of this recognition. It is a courageous act, which would pay tribute to its history and our vision of democracy, liberty, equality, and fraternity,” these elected officials added.

“Deliberately preventing elected officials and parliamentarians from traveling cannot be without consequences. We demand that this situation be clarified, that our delegation be received by the President of the Republic, and that he do everything possible with the Israeli authorities to authorize us to travel again as soon as possible,” they concluded.

This delegation will hold a press conference in Paris on Tuesday.

Important to note, the current First Secretary of the French Communist Party is controversial and not approved by the party’s activists (or the left in general, this is a complex issue with a hint of your usual power struggle between left-wing parties) [1] ; [2] ; [3] ; [4]

Depends on the stress, if its just a tense situation I try to keep my eyes open, think about the events unfolding and the options available to deal with it, if there is a need to deal with the situation. If its anger related stress, I get a rush of energy and feel the need to get up and walk, this allows me to let the steam off. If it becomes too much to deal with, I tend to retreat back into myself, take as little place as possible, lie down if possible, my brain usually can’t stop thinking but doing something autonomously (doomscrolling or anything else) helps.

Good analogy haha

Social democracy

In general the political system you grow up in seems to becomes a normalcy in your mind when in reality there’s so many different ways of governing

That’s scaled for me

How fast we went from first flight to space flight, on the scale of human existence it was in the blink of an eye, but from our daily perspective, it feels like such a gigantic feat

!lemmyvision@jlai.lu is hosted on jlai.lu, this particular post is a cross post from that instance, this might be the source of confusion yes haha

This is an event posted on a francophone instance, you should expect to see some french being spoken by coming here. If anyone shows up with a question in a language - other than English - that I can speak, I will automatically assume it’s easier for them that way and respond in their language if possible ; that has also been my approach in advertising this event.

Do you know which one ?

Oula non, normalement le bouton start te fait accéder à la suite du formulaire, tu es sûr que tu ne cliques pas sur la banderole “created with tally” ?

Thanks for sharing! 💕

Yeah, do it, Seth.

This was just waiting to happen tbh

Not really, the goal was disarmament and exchange of peaceful nuclear technology
