Most journalists aren't equipped to not fall into this trap. Keeping in mind, journalists have partisan biases, too. Journalists vote.

The voting cards for the European elections are in! More important than ever, for Ukraine, for nature, for climate, for the energy transition, and for democracy.

Elle a osé le dire: "Chercher un emploi, diplômé de HEC ou pas, ça prend d'autres formes que de rester rivé à son bureau", tente la députée macroniste Mireille Clapot pour défendre Ambroise Méjean. Et si la majorité présidentielle arrêtait de faire la chasse à tous les chômeurs? En attendant, big up à tous les chômeurs "qui restent rivés à leur bureau"!

"Mais qu'il est con", s'exclame une huile macroniste en voyant Ambroise Méjean se vanter de faire campagne pour Valérie Hayer tout en touchant 2500 euros de chômage. Son coup d'éclat a fait plus de 600.000 vues sur Tiktok au moment où Macron et Attal veulent serrer une fois de plus la vis pour les chômeurs. https://www.politis.fr/articles/2024/05/ambroise-mejean-patron-jeunes-macron-chomage-campagne-europeennes-2-500-euros-par-mois/

: "India’s ongoing elections are the world’s largest in history, with almost 1 billion people eligible to vote. They are so big that voting is being conducted in waves from April 19 to June 1. The BJP, which has been in power for 10 years, is widely expected to win. But in the process, both Modi’s administration and his electoral campaign have been criticized for stirring hate against Muslims and increasing polarization.

As millions of Indians vote, many of them will turn to WhatsApp for information. India is the Meta-owned app’s largest market, with 400 million active users — more than a quarter of the country’s population. India’s last general elections, in 2019, were labeled the “WhatsApp elections” because of the platform’s prevalence and influence. In 2024, politicians are redoubling their focus on the app.

Kiran Garimella, an assistant professor at Rutgers University who researches WhatsApp in India, told Rest of World the app reaches people that other platforms don’t, including remote communities. “There are a number of people in India who only use WhatsApp,” he said.

The scale of the BJP’s WhatsApp operations is incomparable to that of any other political party in the country." https://restofworld.org/2024/bjp-whatsapp-modi/

Tranquillou, Ambroise Méjean, 20è sur la liste de Valérie Hayer, admet qu'il profite de son chômage (2500 euros par mois) pour faire campagne. "Le choix de ne pas travailler n'est pas pénalisé en France", comme le répètent Macron et ses fidèles. Deux poids, deux mesures. Pour rappel, le papa du candidat est le cousin de l'ancien secrétaire d'Etat Cédric O https://tiktok.com/

'The [U.S.] Justice Department on Thursday informed House Republicans that President Joe Biden has formally asserted executive privilege over the audio of his interview with special counsel Robert Hur, a move that DOJ says effectively shields Attorney General Merrick Garland from any criminal exposure as the Republican lawmakers move toward trying to hold him in contempt of Congress."

ABC News reports the Justice Department has already released a full transcript of the interview. The White House believes the audio would be used for "partisan political purposes."

"Chinese American voters in the city have long supported Chinese American candidates, but that may be starting to change.

In recent elections, Chinese American politicians, who’ve tended to be more progressive, haven’t always won the support of increasingly moderate-leaning Chinese American voters galvanized during the pandemic due to anti-Asian hate, concerns about street conditions and crime, and public school closures."

FYI, someone just asked me, "Could you please put a CW on those US politics posts?"

I said no sorry,, just mute me.

I don't understand CWing political posts. And that doesn't mean you need to @ me explaining why. I know THEIR reasons, I just disagree with them and won't do it.

I respect CWs for other things, but not politics. Politics is news and people need to be aware of what's happening. It's not gory or violent, it's politics.

Kthxbye.

"Politics is not marriage.

You don't have to love the candidate you vote for.

Politics is public transportation.

If you don't vote, you are allowing those who DO vote to choose where you are going."

And if you don't pay attention to politics, you'll have no idea where the bus is going or where it can go. You're just letting those who do pay attention and vote control where your life goes.

Valérie Hayer dénonce le « piège » tendu par des neonazis qui ont réussi à faire un selfie avec elle dimanche à Paris. Louis Boyard s’est fait prendre lui aussi, Sandrine Rousseau avait également été trollée par des militants du PCF. « Je n’ai pas eu le temps de voir les inscriptions sur leurs tenues », précise la candidate macroniste. Espérons qu’elle regarde mieux ses intentions de vote…

What is the most effective action individuals can take to mitigate against #ClinateChange?

Most experts (76%) backed voting for #politicians who pledge strong climate measures, where fair #elections take place.

This is not possible in #England as neither of the only two parties represented by the #undemocratic FPTP system pledge strong climate measures.
