Bien avant lui, ce fut Élie Decazes.
Oublié par les livres d’histoire, #Decazes a pourtant dirigé le pays de 1818 à 1820."
Inventeur de la "politique de la bascule" entre la droite et la gauche,
puis s'affichant comme seul recours à l'#extrême#droite (les ultras),
il l'a crédibilisée comme seule alternative #politique... et lui a permis d'accéder au pouvoir.

A l'heure où la France recule dans les index démocratiques, où les idées de l'#Extrême Droite gagnent l'Extrême Centre, les contre pouvoirs sont plus que jamais essentiels.
Tomorrow night, next concert! Finally!
Extreme playing at the Live Music Hall, Cologne.
Pretty excited, though they're not my all time favourites; but still a great world-class band I wanted to see for a long time.
Also brings up memories of so many awesome concerts there: Skyclad/Subway to Sally, Iced Earth/Nevermore, Pennywise/Heideroosjes/Beatsteaks, Transatlantic, Porcupine Tree, Knorkator, Volbeat, etc...
To Defeat #Fascism, We Must Recognize It’s a Failed Response to #Capitalist Crisis
Few would disagree in light of recent events that the #Trump regime, its most diehard #extreme-right, #white#supremacist supporters, and elements of the #Republican Party are bidding for a #fascist putsch. Whether this putsch remains insurgent or is beaten back will depend on how events unfold in the Nov 3 election and its aftermath, and especially on the ability of left and progressive
#Emmer (MN), the #House maj whip, was elected as the #GOP pick on a 5th ballot in an internal race that drew 9 #Republicans. It’s not clear, however, that he has enough support to be elected on the House floor. To prevail, Emmer would need a majority of the full chamber.
Emmer, who has been in #Congress since 2015, previously chaired the #National Republican Congressional Cmte — the House campaign arm — for 4 yrs.
The Midwest US could be a hotspot for deadly ‘moist heat stress’ as global temperatures climb
Large parts of the world, including China and the Midwest US, are on track to become too hot for humans to handle as accelerating global temperatures expose billions to heat and humidity so extreme their bodies will no longer be able to cope, according to a new study.

"At 3 degrees — which the study authors say is the most likely level of warming by 2100 if no action is taken — there is a sharp increase in people exposed to life-threatening heat and humidity. 'It’s really incredibly disturbing,' Huber told CNN.
"Humid #heatwaves will affect swaths of the world not used to such #extreme conditions.
"The #Midwest US will become a 'moist heat stress hotspot' at 3 degrees of warming, according to the report. The Midwest is susceptible to this kind of heat stress in part because its climate walks the line between dry and humid, Huber explained, allowing the region’s heat to push into the danger zone on very humid days.
"Another factor that makes the region vulnerable is its agriculture and the phenomenon called 'corn sweat,' Huber said.
"'The plants that we eat are sweating through evapotranspiration, and that may be adding to the humidity above what would normally be there,' he said.
"So-called 'hot hours' — times where heat and #humidity are especially life-threatening — will be concentrated in the #Missouri and #MississippiRiver valleys but also elsewhere in US including the #GulfOfMexico coast and the #AtlanticSeaboard according to the study.
"At 4 degrees of warming, the study’s worst-case scenario, researchers found that 1.5 billion people around the world would face a month of moist heat stress each year, and roughly 2.7 billion people will experience at least a week of these extreme conditions.
"Parts of #Yemen could experience heat and humidity that exceeds human tolerance for more than 300 days a year, making it virtually uninhabitable."
"Extreme #weather displaced 43,000,000 children in past six years, #Unicef reports - At least 43 million child displacements were linked to #extreme weather events over the past six years, the equivalent of 20,000 children being forced to abandon their homes and school every single day, new research has found.
#Floods and #storms accounted for 95% of recorded child displacement between 2016 and 2021, according to the first-of-its-kind analysis by Unicef and the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). The rest – more than 2 million children – were displaced by #wildfires and #drought."
In the year since #RoeVWade was overturned, the #Republican Party has tested out constantly changing talking points & messages on #abortion in an attempt to make its anti-abortion policies sound less #extreme. #Conservatives are even considering moving away from the term “#ProLife,” fearing that voters have newly negative associations w/the label.
Excerpt from President #Biden's speech on #democracy scheduled to start 2:45PM ET:
“…there is no question that today's #Republican Party is driven & intimidated by #MAGA#extremists. Their #extreme agenda, if carried out, would fundamentally alter the institutions of American Democracy as we know it."
Pres Biden will announce federal funding for a #library & community facility at #Arizona State University to honor the late AZ Sen #JohnMcCain.

Extreme El Niño weather switched off South American’s carbon sink
Tropical forests in South America lose their ability to absorb carbon from the atmosphere when conditions become exceptionally hot and dry, according to new research.
