Claudia Zuno is running for office in Chicago. She says her top priority is fighting bike lanes
Imagine centering your political campaign on wanting more traffic, more noise and more crashes in the neighborhood.

Even tho LFI IS left leaning (far from being tankies tho),
In 2022, Finland 🇫🇮 and Sweden 🇸🇪, requested to join NATO due to threats from Russia.
It required a vote in the French Parliament.
Every political party voted "Yes". Except two:
🔴 Rassemblement National: Abstention.
🔴 LFI: Against.

After Montreal trip blocked, Rima Hassan arrested in France over social media post
She was denied a visa to Canada after she was asked two questions
-
Did any country ever deny you a visa? (Yes)
-
Did you ever face lawsuits? (Yes)
Instead of answering the truth, she answered "No" to both questions.
In an online post, she argued she did that because "I think these questions aren't legitimate".
That was a major mistake
Immigration Canada really doesn't give a shit about what you think.
You should never lie on a federal immigration form. That's called misrepresentation. Any foreigner who engages in misrepresentation will face denial of entry into Canada (Article 40, Canadian Law on Immigration).
When Immigration Canada discovered this, her visitor visa was automatically cancelled.

Sticking to a wholefood diet means you really can eat much more and be well-nourished but still consume far fewer calories, new research reveals
Reply in thread
this has always been true.
Yeah. But now we have more data to prove it.
For a long time, we had a group of people saying "Losing weight is extremely simple. Calorie in, calorie out. Just count calories".
Another group people argued that's a terrible idea. A calorie is NOT a calorie. Counting calories will make you absolutely miserable. First and foremost, you need to pay attention to the quality what you are eating. If you are eating processed food, you can eat a lot and still feel hungry. But if you are only eating veggies and fruits, you can simply eat until you feel full.
The second group of people were right. But now they have more data to prove it.

Lebanon President criticizes Hezbollah: "Negotiating isn't treason. Treason is triggering a war to serve foreign interests"
Daily reminder that Hezbollah actively supported the Syrian occupation of Lebanon.
An illegal military occupation that lasted until 2005, longer than the Israeli occupation. Israel occupied a bunch of shitty villages near their border. Syria occupied 70% of the country and every major city (Tripoli, Beirut). Syrians murdered countless anti-occupation figures.
They are traitors pretending to be patriots.

French vote tests polarised electorate with right hoping to win control of Paris
The main candidates.
-
Rachida Dati : Former french minister of justice. Former French minister of culture. Under criminal investigation for bribery and embezzlement.
-
Emmanuel Grégoire : The main candidate of the left.
-
Thierry Mariani : He praised Putin's war on Ukraine. He visited Assad on a regular basis. He spends his holidays in Moscow and St Petersburg. If he is elected, you better start learning Russian.
-
Pierre-Yves Bournazel : He is a nice man. The issue is that most people never heard of him.
-
Sophia Chikirou : Says Grégoire isn't really left, but she is part of the TRUE left™. Said she really admires Chinese political system. Under investigation for financial fraud.
-
Sarah Knafo : Actual fascist. Except this time, fascism is bubbly, cute and adorable 🥰. Campaigns like Zohran Mamdani. She was personally invited to Donald Trump's inauguration party (and she went there).
This is an absolute shit show
No one has an edge and the result will be a surprise

President Macron says several french peacekeepers injured in Lebanon, one french man killed. "Based on information I have, it's Hezbollah"
Reply in thread
Yeah, because Hezbollah would never harm anyone, right 🙂 ?
Go tell that to Syrians. They slaughtered thousands upon thousands of innocent civilians in Syria to save their daddy Bachar El Assad. People were celebrating all over Syria when Hassan Nasrallah was killed.
- The UN Tribunal for Justice in Lebanon accused Hezbollah commanders of organizing a car bomb that killed Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna43595858
- They blew up a bus full of tourists in Bulgaria
https://www.france24.com/en/20130205-bulgaria-accuses-hezbollah-bus-bombing-terrorism
- They sent threats to the judge investigating the Beirut Port Explosion
- A few years before that explosion, they got caught purchasing extra-pure Ammonium Nitrate in London
They are gangsters and thugs. Just because they fight Israel doesn't make them good people.
Bin Laden also fought Israel. Doesn't mean Bin Laden was a good guy

The Zionists have attacked Lebanon for decades
Actually, the border was largely peaceful until the 1969 Cairo Agreement.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo_Agreement_(1969)
This agreement allowed Palestinians to bring weapons to Lebanon. Then the Israelis started getting massacred non-stop
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avivim_school_bus_bombing

48 hours after the Coastal Road Massacre, they invaded South Lebanon.

Deadline passes for US blockade of Iran's ports, Tehran threatens to retaliate
Americans just discovered the weak point of Iran.
It's game over
CRUDE OIL: Iran was exporting 1.5 million barrels/day, earning $139M/day at wartime pricing ($87/barrel). A blockade zeroes this out overnight. Kharg Island, which handles 92% of crude exports, sits deep inside the Gulf with no viable alternative. That's $139M/day, GONE.
PETROCHEMICALS: Iran exported $19.7B in petrochemicals in 9 months of 2024/25, ~$54M/day. Virtually all of it ships through Assaluyeh, Imam Khomeini, and Shahid Rajaee, all inside the blockade zone. No overland route can move these volumes. Another $54M/day, GONE.
IMPORTS: Iran imported $58B in goods in 2025, ~$159M/day. A blockade chokes off industrial inputs, machinery, and consumer goods.
PORTS: Over 90% of Iran's seaborne trade transits the Strait of Hormuz. Shahid Rajaee (Bandar Abbas) alone handles 53% of all cargo operations. Imam Khomeini handles 58% of basic goods imports. Bushehr ports moved 57M tons last year. All deep inside the Gulf. Iran's options outside the Strait are negligible.
CURRENCY COLLAPSE ACCELERANT: The rial has already cratered from 42,000 to 1.5M per dollar. Banks are limiting withdrawals to $18-30/day. Overall inflation: 47.5%. A blockade eliminating all forex earnings pushes the rial into extreme hyperinflation.
If americans succesfully blockade Iran, the regime will collapse in 1 month.
