Caroline Darian’s book is such an honest account of the traumatic discovery that her father Dominique Pelicot was a uniquely depraved criminal
But “chemical submission” is far from unique
Now she is on a powerful mission to change how justice works

Finally got around to reading Fahrenheit 451
It’s so prophetic and not necessarily in the ways I expected…

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social The Invisible Doctrine is 🔥🔥🔥
Whats the difference btw #Canada + now #Australia, where #elections show voters rejecting Trump-like self-destruction
& #America + #Britain, where they're running towards it?
We're seeing difference btw countries that have a sense of hope and self-belief vs those embracing their terminal decline

Ironically African liberation is always helped by French arrogance and failure to acknowledge past wrongs
A history #Macron keeps repeating
As former French President Jacques Chiraq, no left-winger, said in 2007
"Without Africa, France will slide down into the rank of a third world power"
When Sembène and assistant director Clarence Delgado were filming Camp de Thiaroye decades after the events, the French military refused to cooperate and spied on the production. Then banned the release of the film in #France

If you haven’t seen Camp de Thiaroye, by the legendary Senegalese director Ousmane Sembène
you need to
This 1988 classic depicts the true story of how, even after serving France, black African troops were met with racism and brutality by the French state

#Macron says Africans forgot to say thank you for French imperialism
Nope. It’s the other way around

Musk is weaponising the real trauma of sexual violence to groom low information social media consumers, sniffing out their vulnerability to disinformation abuse, and exploiting it.
It's also predatory. And very, very dangerous.
