@jotajordi13 Spanish football is a disgrace for all the racism Vinicius has had to endure. Hope you decide to join us the 21st century sometime soon

[Lucia Assunta @LuciaRuggiero20]

Jose Mourinho’s comments totally unacceptable after the match today. Embarrassing! Blaming the victim who has been racially abused at least 16 times in matches like it’s his fault?
Justice for Vini

YOU WANTED A WALL, TRUMP? YOU’LL HAVE ONE.
Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, responded to Trump’s threats:
“So you voted to build a wall.
Well then, dear Americans — even if geography isn’t your strong suit, and you see America as a country rather than a continent — you should know that on the other side of that wall stand 7 billion people.
And if the word ‘people’ doesn’t resonate with you, let’s call them ‘consumers.’
Those 7 billion consumers can switch from iPhone to Samsung or Huawei in less than two days.
They can trade Levi’s for Zara or Massimo Dutti, and within six months replace Ford and Chevrolet with Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault, or BMW — brands that are already more popular in many places.
They can cancel DirecTV.
And even if they choose not to, they can stop watching Hollywood films and turn instead to higher-quality productions from Latin America or Europe — with richer storytelling and better filmmaking.
Believe it or not, people can skip Disney and visit the Xcaret resort in Cancún instead — or explore destinations across Mexico, Canada, or South America.
Even in Mexico, you can find better burgers than McDonald’s — with higher nutritional value.
Have you ever seen pyramids in the United States?
Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, and Sudan have ancient wonders — none of them in the U.S.
If they were, Trump would probably have bought and resold them by now.
We know Nike isn’t the only sneaker brand. There’s Adidas — and even Mexican brands like Panama.
We understand economics better than you think.
And we also know that when those 7 billion consumers stop buying American products, unemployment will rise, and your economy — trapped behind its own self-imposed wall — will begin to collapse to the point where you’ll be begging for help.
We didn’t want to do this.
But you wanted a wall?
Well.
You’ve got one.”
Her approval rating has reached a historic level — according to a recent poll, it stands at 85%.

@_TheLondoner @BellRibeiroAddy what are we doing about this? This news agent has been in Brixton station longer than I’ve been alive. How can we let this happen?

[The Londoner @_TheLondoner]

After 36 years in business, Brixton News will close on Friday. TfL tripled their rent demands to £120,000 - but since reduced the figure to £85,000, after failing to find a willing tenant.

We can reveal TfL are still yet to confirm the new vendor — and in promo materials envisage the retail unit to be coffee shop.

@_TheLondoner @MayorofLondon what are you doing about this? Pushing out a South London business that has been in Brixton station longer than I’ve been alive. My mum has been buying her newspapers there for 30+ years. How can you allow something like this to happen?

Don’t listen to rhetoric about “drugs” or post facto liberal cover about “authoritarianism” or “freedom,” Trump explicitly stated his motive in June 2023. He wants their oil, he doesn’t like that the largest oil reserves on earth are in our ‘neighborhood’ and not under US control

[Lula @LulaOficial]

Os bombardeios em território venezuelano e a captura do seu presidente ultrapassam uma linha inaceitável. Esses atos representam uma afronta gravíssima à soberania da Venezuela e mais um precedente extremamente perigoso para toda a comunidade internacional.

Atacar países, em flagrante violação do direito internacional, é o primeiro passo para um mundo de violência, caos e instabilidade, onde a lei do mais forte prevalece sobre o multilateralismo.

A condenação ao uso da força é consistente com a posição que o Brasil sempre tem adotado em situações recentes em outros países e regiões.

A ação lembra os piores momentos da interferência na política da América Latina e do Caribe e ameaça a preservação da região como zona de paz.

A comunidade internacional, por meio da Organização das Nações Unidas, precisa responder de forma vigorosa a esse episódio. O Brasil condena essas ações e segue à disposição para promover a via do diálogo e da cooperação.

@gemmaubasart Gemma, me acuerdo cuando estuvimos en Barcelona con mi padre hace muchos años…recuerdos muy especiales. ❤️

Se’n va un dels grans de la criminologia europea. Un italià a Middlesex. Mestre, intel.lectual, compromès. La notícia ens omple de tristesa, el recordo amb molt apreci. Ens deixa una extensa i trencadora obra, el millor homenatge serà rellegir-la. Abbraccio @LuciaRuggiero20

@TimNewburn @DrAbuZaman Thank you for posting this ❤️ we miss him terribly already.

[Tim Newburn @TimNewburn]

Apart from the fact that he's not smiling here, this is how I remember Vincenzo. A deeply serious man with a wicked sense of humour. An original. Always working on something new. Always keen to discuss/argue. All the better if a glass of wine was available. Top man.

[Lucia Assunta @LuciaRuggiero20]

@DrAbuZaman @elenavacchelli He actually has a book coming out later this year that he finished even while he was unwell! ❤️

@S_Xenakis Thank you for sharing

What a loss. Remembering the ever prescient and ever inspiring Vincenzo Ruggiero, gone too soon. This from Capital & Class, 1985. https://t.co/ZF9ypUXnsZ

Vincenzo Ruggiero’s recent book CRITICAL CRIMINOLOGY TODAY: COUNTER-HEGEMONIC ESSAYS forces the reader to consider rarely addressed alternative perspectives in the field of #CriticalCriminology.

@criminology Another criminology giant gone… Rest in power, Vincenzo Ruggiero.
