La circonscription consulaire de Genève élit 9 conseillers & 12 délégués (aux dernières consulaires la liste écologiste a fait élire 3 conseillers et 4 délégués mais il n’y a pas eu de liste PS comme c’est le cas cette fois-ci donc vos voix sont d’autant plus importantes en 2026)

Si vous voulez des supers sénatrices et sénateurs comme @Melanie_Vogel_ et @Mat_OLLIVIER, il faut voter aux consulaires. Assurez-vous d’être bien inscrit-e-s sur les listes électorales consulaires avant le 24 avril ! Lien ici : diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/services-au…

Très fier d’annoncer que je suis candidat aux élections consulaires fin mai sur la liste d'@EELV, de @placepublique_ et de L'Après dans la circo des Français de Suisse romande (cantons de Genève, Vaud, Valais, Fribourg, Neuchâtel et Jura), en 2e place derrière Ilham Chahdi.

On perd un grand homme d’État, un grand républicain comme on n’en fait plus beaucoup. Requiescat in pace Lionel Jospin.

Il y a une règle intangible en politique. Jamais un changement de mode de scrutin ne produit les effets escomptés.

@Endeuilleur @datirachida @chikirouparis @egregoire Pas aussi moche que les casseroles de Dati !

@evanoconnell @datirachida @chikirouparis @egregoire La gauche c'est vraiment devenu un truc de moche.

Et c’est enfin la défaite de la magouilleuse @datirachida. Honte à ceux qui se sont ralliés à sa candidature, honte à @chikirouparis qui a risqué la défaite pour la gauche, bravo à la fois à ceux du camp Bournazel qui ont refusé de fusionner et surtout à @egregoire et sa liste.

❤️💚💛💜

Il aurait fallu choisir un candidat pas corrompu pour tester cette hypothèse

Ou à Marseille

Là où la gauche refuse la fusion avec LFI, elle gagne. Comme à Paris…

On dirait que le principal enseignement de ce 2nd tour, c’est le rejet du radicalisme. À la fois le RN qui ne gagne pas à bcp d’endroits, mais aussi les listes d’union entre la gauche raisonnable et LFI qui sont rejetées à beaucoup d’endroits (comme quoi @rglucks1 avait raison)

Ireland’s population chart remains a wild one to look at. The country has still not recovered from the Great Famine (1845-52).

Turns out any weather is bearable with the right playlist #rainySunday #classickitsch

The news that Orbán’s people inform Moscow about EU Council meetings in every detail shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. We’ve had our suspicions about that for a long time. That’s one reason why I take the floor only when strictly necessary and say just as much as necessary.

There are growing concerns that Russia could attack the Baltic states within the next 1–2 months. Preparations for a potential invasion of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia are reportedly in their final stages. A scenario similar to Ukraine in 2014 is also being discussed — starting with information operations and internal destabilization, followed by possible military action. We already understand that Russia is preparing for escalation. But here’s what’s happening inside the potential target countries: • Social media groups have appeared calling for autonomy in Estonia’s Narva region and the broader Ida-Viru area. • They are sharing a “flag,” a “national anthem,” and even mock plans for a “militia.” • Many posts frame this as “protecting Russian identity.” • Authorities have warned that participation in such activities could lead to criminal charges. Meanwhile, amid growing public concern, Latvia’s State Security Service chief, Normunds Mežviets, made a stark statement: “They will kill us all.” ❗️Some analysts warn that a Russian offensive against the Baltic states could come as early as May 2026 — echoing what happened in Ukraine in 2022. Notably, similar warnings were published in late 2021, shortly before Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. At that time, reports that Russia planned to seize large parts of Ukraine — including Kyiv — were widely dismissed. In hindsight, those warnings proved accurate. Now, similar projections are being made again — this time focused on the Baltic region. Whether this is coincidence or a troubling pattern remains to be seen. But one piece of advice for people in these countries is simple: stay alert and be prepared with basic emergency supplies. There are also signs of tightening control inside Russia. Restrictions on mobile internet and platforms like Telegram are increasing. For years, little was done — but now controls are being actively strengthened. This is unlikely about preventing protests — there is little organized opposition left. Instead, it may be part of broader internal preparation. For example, Russia re-established the Moscow and Leningrad military districts in early 2024 — likely to improve mobilization and military administration. Preparation appears to be ongoing and serious. And unfortunately, Ukraine alone may not be able to significantly disrupt it. When a regime feels cornered, its actions can become less predictable — and more dangerous. Yes, the media can sometimes exaggerate threats. But given recent developments, this no longer looks like simple fearmongering. Whether these forecasts come true remains to be seen. But the risk is real. History may one day define this period as the beginning of something much larger. It’s better to be prepared than surprised.

i worry that tehran interprets this level of incoherence/inconsistency as panic.

Yet another case of “Pas mal, non ? C’est français.”
