France's far-right National Rally and its allies made gains in elections to the French Senate, according to RFI. The result reinforces the party's growing national standing and has prompted reactions from left-wing commentators, some of whom are calling on supporters to join anti-fascist groups and trade unions in response to the advance.

Online discussion of United States politics is trending across a cluster of hashtags including men in power, Christian patriarchy, trans rights, immigration, feminism, LGBTQ rights, antifascism and accusations of rape. The tags suggest commentary linking conservative political power in the US to positions on gender, immigration and far-right activism, though the specific event prompting the discussion is not stated.

A meeting of France's Rassemblement National was reportedly attacked with a Molotov cocktail by people described as antifascists, prompting criticism that the incident drew no condemnation. A commentator contrasts this with an 18-month prison sentence handed to identitarian activists who merely held placards against La France Insoumise, denouncing selective outrage in French political debate.
