Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Live: French Court bans far-right leader Marine Le Pen from running for office (www.france24.com)

A French court found Marine Le Pen guilty Monday in an embezzlement case and followed up the verdict with a sentence barring her immediately from running for office for five years. Le Pen abruptly left the Paris courtroom before hearing how long she will be banned from running for public office.

Le Pen and 24 other officials from her National Rally were accused of having used money intended for European Union parliamentary aides to pay staff who worked for the party between 2004 and 2016, in violation of the 27-nation bloc’s regulations. Le Pen and her co-defendants deny wrongdoing.

The biggest concern for Le Pen was that the court may declare her ineligible to run for office preventing her from running for president in 2027 -- a scenario she had described as a “political death.”

The Constitutional Council ruled Friday, in a separate case, that imposing the punishment immediately was constitutional.

Anything that puts an obstacle between Nazis and power is a good thing.

With the far right not being able to vote for their more popular figure it may give the french left an edge over macron since he wont be able to push the lesser evil in the future election

Macron would hopefully be the clear "lesser evil" then but im worried about the potential of sucdem shenanigans now within the two years until the election.

Oh no, is there going to be a trend of URLs with emoji now? Can’t wait to go to https://xn--ls8h.la/?si=%F0%9F%91%A9%E2%80%8D%F0%9F%94%AC%F0%9F%A7%AA%E2%9E%A1%EF%B8%8F%F0%9F%94%AC%F0%9F%A6%A0%F0%9F%94%8D%F0%9F%92%A5%F0%9F%98%A8%F0%9F%8F%83%E2%80%8D%E2%99%80%EF%B8%8F%F0%9F%92%A8%E2%9E%A1%EF%B8%8F%F0%9F%9B%81 so the tracking link gets info on which emoji is more likely to elicit a click and shove ads in my face.
