Did you hear about the buzz at La Maison des Etats-Unis last week? 🏛️🇺🇸

Professor Marion Pineau just wrapped up a packed talk on the intersection of ultra-wealth and political power in the USA. She detailed the emergence of the "broligarchy"—a sociological phenomenon where Silicon Valley billionaires (the "Paypal Mafia" and beyond) have aligned with the Trump administration to reshape American policy.

From the deregulation of social media giants to the aggressive restructuring of federal oversight under the newly formed DOGE led by Elon Musk, the landscape is shifting fast. Pineau highlighted how these groups are using their media control to normalize extreme libertarian ideas and challenge democratic institutions.

💬 Question for you: Do you think we are seeing a permanent shift in how technology capital influences US governance, or will the resistance movement mentioned by Pineau gain traction soon?

Let's discuss in the comments! 👇

✨ What an incredible evening in Rennes! ✨🇫🇷

Last Saturday, May 23rd, our Brittany chapter hosted a truly special fundraiser and community outreach gathering at La Paix, and the energy was unmatched! From longtime Democrats Abroad supporters to new faces meeting us for the first time, the room was filled with warmth, engagement, and a shared passion for our mission.

We dove deep into meaningful conversations about the political landscape back home, strategies for voter outreach, community building, and our upcoming GOTV efforts for 2026. It was inspiring to see so many Americans connect with our local organizing and leave ready to take action.
