I’ve never had a Twitter account, and while I’ve thought about it…nope, I’ll deal with the evil of FB instead.

Yeah, best to skip it entirely. I ditched my account there and am much happier for it. It really is a cesspool.

Addendum: Le Pen obv. doesn’t read history, and therefore wouldn’t know how badly a financial hit France would take if all the Jews and Muslims left the country.

It’s hard to believe Le Pen doesn’t know exactly what she’s doing

If Ukraine had made a very public effort to deal with their own right wing extremists, perhaps even with NATO help, it really would have taken the wind out of Putin’s sails for his “de-nazification” excuse. Instead we carelessly arm them and make the situation worse.

Before her detention, Gulsen - who is viewed as Turkey’s Madonna - had apologised on social media and suggested her words were seized upon by those who aim to “polarise society”. Writing on Twitter and Instagram, the singer said that while she was “defending freedom of expression” with her “joke between colleagues” she apologised “to everyone who was offended”.
The singer, whose full name is Gulsen Colakoglu, has previously been criticised by conservative elements of Turkish society over her clothing and support for LGBT rights.
Many Twitter users condemned Gulsen’s arrest, with some contrasting it to the lack of legal action against a theologian who recently suggested killing those who do not perform prayers.

It is a momentous turning point for Swedish politics - the Sweden Democrats was once treated as a pariah by political parties, but has now won around 20% of the vote.
It vowed to “make Sweden safe again” by bringing in longer prison sentences and restricting immigration.
They were “once treated as a pariah” because they were founded in the 1980s as a white supremacist group.
