🚨🇫🇷 UNE DÉLIVRANCE INATTENDUE À NANCY : interpellé et menotté, un jeune homme s’apprêtait à être placé dans un véhicule de police lorsque ses amis sont intervenus. Des tirs de mortiers ont alors visé les policiers, créant un mouvement de panique et de confusion. Le jeune homme en a profité pour prendre la fuite en courant, toujours menotté, et parvenir à s’échapper.

Blocking the road opens a new way. An ICE facility was surprised this morning by the quick construction of planter boxes and a community garden preventing access to staff. Blockade is still being held 3 hours later

As French left-liberals rally behind France Unbowed and its push for constitutional reforms, the Groupe Révolutionnaire Charlatan searches the uprisings of our time for an element that persists, as irreducible, in the refusal of power. illwill.com/1793
