The verdicts in a high-profile, monthslong trial of Oath Keepers militia members were, as one defense lawyer acknowledged, “a mixed bag.” Leader Stewart Rhodes was found guilty on Nov. 29, 2022, of the most serious charge – seditious conspiracy – for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, and was acquitted on two other related charges.
Dès l’annonce de son intention de devenir le seul propriétaire de Twitter, il y a six mois, Elon Musk avait laissé entrevoir que sa gestion future de la plate-forme serait fortement marquée par une approche populiste. Les derniers développements en date le confirment clairement.
Depuis l’élection des premiers députés péquistes en 1970, la controverse entourant le serment d’allégeance au souverain que doivent prêter les députés québécois avant de prendre leur siège à l’Assemblée nationale soulève les passions et suscite de vifs débats.

For nearly three decades, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been embroiled in violence. Millions of people have been killed, and an estimated 5.6 million others displaced by civil wars, local feuds and cross-border conflicts.
If you fish in your pocket or purse for a U.S. quarter today, there’s a chance you’ll see Wilma Mankiller’s face. She was the Cherokee Nation’s first female principal chief, and she inspired generations of Cherokees and young Native people like me.
The world could still, theoretically, meet its goal of keeping global warming under 1.5 degrees Celsius, a level many scientists consider a dangerous threshold. Realistically, that’s unlikely to happen.
What do a cybersecurity researcher building a system to generate alerts for detecting security threats and vulnerabilities, a wildfire watcher who tracks the spread of forest fires, and public health professionals trying to predict enrollment in health insurance exchanges have in common?
Ever since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24 this year, the Kremlin has sought by every means to minimise the reality of war. The description of the invasion as a “special operation” and persecution of anyone who dared call it by any other name is intended to underline the supposedly temporary and limited nature of the armed conflict. It seeks to blur the boundary between war and peace. This principle continued in Vladimir Putin’s speech on September 21, in which he announced a “partial mobilisation”.
Depuis quelques mois, l’idée d’un boycott de la coupe du monde au Qatar fait son chemin. En France, plusieurs maires ont récemment annoncé que leur ville ne diffusera pas l’événement sur écrans géants comme de coutume. Des personnalités diverses annoncent qu’elles ne se rendront ni ne suivront l’évènement. Chaque jour, les journalistes invitent aussi sportifs et personnalités politiques à prendre position. Et au bistrot, les passionnés discutent de se passer – ou non – du plaisir de voir de bons matchs.
