How do we call a political system where police is deciding about how the city landscape looks like, against the young people from schools and universities? I forgot 😱

Paris today, Place de la Nation (photo Adrienne Surprenant). Kids are right about more or less all their requests – and yet the government sees here a leftist manipulation mostly. Where do they even take their PR advisors, it is such a shame that self-proclaimed liberals oppose quality education.

My University is closed today – students show their solidarity with the high schoolers, but also go on with their own requests. Will they manage something we all have been fighting against in 2019 & failed, i.e. "Bienvenue en France" programme making education hardly available to non-EU students?

French highschoolers go on the streets and ask for more budget for their sometimes abandoned institutions, but apparently this is not very well seen either. Solidarity with their struggle which meets a ridiculously disproportionate response of the police.

I feel that this whole Naza affair is really Netanyahu's last chance to stoke a fascist spirit in everyone and position himself as the nation’s only non-traitor. The "move" by Bibi that everyone dreaded is this public controversy. His team is on it 27/7. Looks terribly efficient.

Macron’s approval rating hits a new low: just 16% view his presidency favorably, while 81% are unfavorable. A dramatic reversal from the beginning of his first term. It's really a pity, it would be nice to have a slightly more popular head of state. I dare not writing "next time"... 😱

I’m writing about the tensions between the Bund and the Zionists: In response to [Zionist] ideas, the Bund—the General Jewish Labour Union of Lithuania, Poland, and Russia—was founded in 1897 in Vilnius, in so called "Russian Empire"; i.e. on Polish and Lithuanian territories colonized by Russia.

From today's readings: Pierre Roussel in 1775 not only gave an essentializing description of a "woman" (mostly "infantile"), but also of a man, who should be "tall" and "proud". So this is not a feminine fantasy, men's height and discrimination that follows, but it is masculine self-depreciation.
