@ceciliasala Bentornata Cecilia!

[Liberi, Oltre le Illusioni 🇺🇦🇪🇺 @liberioltre]

Apprendiamo con sgomento dell’arresto della giornalista @ceciliasala a Teheran.

Condanniamo il tentativo del regime iraniano di silenziare i giornalisti indipendenti e chiediamo la sua immediata liberazione. Invitiamo le autorità italiane a intervenire per garantirne l’incolumità, affinché possa tornare presto a svolgere il suo prezioso lavoro.

1/10 Europe just got a brutal wake-up call about green energy math. When wind & sun disappeared in December, electricity prices shot up 20X. Our current plans for batteries and storage won't solve this for decades. Here's the real numbers 🧵

What's wrong with American higher education? Are colleges corrupt? Greedy? Woke?

I worked for 12 years to earn my BA, MA, and PhD in History. I'm now a professor at one of the more conservative Christian colleges in America.

A 🧵 on what US colleges get wrong. 1/27

Angela Merkel, Vladimir Putin, German money, Russian gas, and Ukraine - a (very long) thread based on Angela Merkel's memoirs and my article on this topic today in Frankfurter Allgemeine/FAZ:

Questa storia non è piacevole e per questa ragione merita di essere raccontata.

The peacemongers have failed.
Escalation was not managed, conflicts were not contained, people were not protected, laws were not respected. Now I hear victory is "unrealistic" and not even worth fighting for. But I see things very differently, and here's why. 👇🧵1/10

Why economists should refrain from making sweeping historical arguments, based on sophisticated calculations, when using statistics or data that rely on flawed, false, or misunderstood evidence from the past : a thread (1) 🧶

[Andrea Gilli @aa_gilli]

Seeing several comments claiming the failed attempt to kill former 🇺🇸 President Donald Trump would be staged, maybe it’s useful to clarify a few things.

1) terrorists always enjoy the advantage of striking where, when and how they want./1

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

The rescue operation after yesterday's Russian missile attack continues.

As of now, 38 people have been reported dead, including four children. My condolences to all the families and friends affected by this tragedy.

190 people were injured and are receiving assistance. There are 64 people hospitalized in Kyiv, 28 in Kryvyi Rih, and 6 in Dnipro.

All patients from Okhmatdyt have been transferred to other medical institutions.

In some areas where the missiles hit, rescue operations continued throughout the night, involving almost 400 rescuers. I am grateful to everyone who is rescuing and caring for our people, to everyone involved, and to everyone who is helping.

We continue our work to increase the protection of our cities and communities from Russian terror. There will be decisions. The world has the necessary strength for this.

I also thank all the leaders who supported us and are preparing new joint steps to protect lives from Russian terror.

A member of the @UN Security Council destroyed a children's hospital. The eternal question: what the fck is wrong with this world?

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital in Kyiv. One of the most important CHILDREN’S hospitals not only in Ukraine, but also in Europe. Okhmatdyt has been saving and restoring the health of thousands of children.

Now that the hospital has been damaged by a Russian strike, there are people under the rubble, and the exact number of casualties is still unknown. Right now, everyone is helping to clear the rubble – doctors and ordinary people.

Russia cannot claim ignorance of where its missiles are flying and must be held fully accountable for all its crimes. Against people, against children, against humanity in general. It is very important that the world does not remain silent about this now, and that everyone sees what Russia is and what it is doing.
