Israël est entraîné dans une course en avant mortifère où ne règne que la force. Cette loi, c’est la consécration officielle et décomplexée de l’apartheid.
While Ukrainians are dying, Russians should not be vacationing on European beaches.
In a joint letter, Estonia and 10 other countries have proposed new measures to limit the issuance of EU tourist visas to Russian citizens.
At today's @WaysMeansCmte hearing, I challenged @SecScottBessent on the growing affordability crisis facing American families.
He said inflation would be temporary. It wasn't. And the evidence is everywhere: higher prices for gas, groceries, electricity, and other necessities that families rely on every day.
President Trump said he doesn't think about Americans' financial situations. The American people deserve leaders who do.
Families, farmers, and communities across Iowa are being hit hard by rising costs — and they deserve a leader who isn’t afraid to fight for them in Washington. That’s @Turek4Iowa, because he understands exactly what they’re going through. Let’s make him Iowa’s next U.S. senator.
Got it. If Irish aluminum is used to kill Palestinians, it’s shouldn’t be sold, but if it’s used for Russian missiles killing Ukrainians, we just need to think about local jobs first.
"Last I checked, Egypt is in Africa. ... I'm going to sound like Martin Luther King: 'I'm tired of having people deny the intellect of Africans in Egypt 5,000 years ago.' ... Denial of dark skin people having that ability." - @neiltyson
Trump the idiot... thought that Massie, Cornyn and Cassidy were "immediately" "kicked out of Congress" after he defeated them in the GOP primaries.
He didn't realize they can still vote until the Christmas recess.
So did a lot of the MAGA morons.
This month and every month make sure you take care of your mental health.
Every morning I wake up and tell myself it’s going to be a great day.
Then I hit the gym, even 15 or 20 minutes if that’s all I have, because I know if I do that, I’ve already accomplished something before the day really starts.
Watch what you put in your brain too.
If you fill it with garbage, it starts reacting to the world through a garbage prism.
Practice gratitude by telling the people around you that you love them.
Getting two or three real things done at work.
And every so often — disappear for three days.
Read a book, go to a spa or just stare at a wall.
You have to take care of the mind. Nobody else is going to do it for you.
In 1965, a 17-year-old girl in Sicily was kidnapped, assaulted, and held captive for over a week.
Then her attacker offered her a deal:
Marry him, and everything would be “forgiven.”
At the time, Italian law allowed rapists to avoid punishment if they married their victims.
It was called “reparatory marriage.”
The logic was horrifying:
A woman’s “honor” mattered more than her consent.
If she married the man who violated her, her reputation could supposedly be restored — and the rapist could walk free.
Most women had no real choice.
Families pressured them.
Communities expected obedience.
The law itself encouraged silence.
But Franca Viola said no.
At 17 years old, traumatized and publicly shamed, she refused to marry the man who assaulted her.
That single word changed Italy forever.
Her decision sparked outrage in her town.
Neighbors turned against her family.
Their vineyards and olive groves were burned in retaliation.
But Franca’s father stood beside her and supported her decision to press charges.
In 1966, Franca testified publicly against her attacker in court.
At a time when most victims were expected to stay silent forever, she spoke openly in front of the entire country.
Italy watched in shock.
Her attacker, Filippo Melodia, was convicted and sentenced to prison.
For the first time in Italian history, a woman had publicly rejected “reparatory marriage” and won.
The case became international news.
But the law itself still remained.
For another 15 years, rapists in Italy could technically still escape punishment by marrying their victims.
Then finally, in 1981, Italy abolished the law completely.
And many activists pointed to Franca Viola as the moment the country first began confronting the cruelty of that system.
Years later, Franca married a childhood friend who had stood beside her through everything.
Not because she needed her “honor restored.”
But because she deserved love, dignity, and a life defined by her own choices.
That’s why her story still matters.
Franca Viola wasn’t just resisting one man.
She was resisting an entire culture that treated women’s suffering as something to hide rather than something to fight.
At 17 years old, she stood against her attacker, her community, and even the law itself.
And eventually, the law changed.
Sometimes history moves because powerful people decide to act.
And sometimes history moves because one terrified teenager quietly refuses to surrender.
So let me get this straight.
Donald Trump wants his personal lawyer and the architect of a corrupt $1.8 billion slush fund to be the Attorney General?
Get lost.
