"Voi che vivete sicuri / nelle vostre tiepide case ...": forse un giorno qualcuno, qualcosa, o semplicemente la vostra coscienza vi chiederà conto del vostro silenzio, non dissimile da quello che aiutò il genocidio degli Ebrei e dei Rom d'Europa
#GazaGenocide
37 prematurely born babies detached from their incubators at Al Shifa Gaza hospital under attack and siege due to lack of electricity and oxygen and now wrapped in blankets to avoid hypothermia. Kept alive with basic medical methods and at risk of death (2 died earlier today)
Dire che a Gaza è in corso un genocidio da parte dello stato di Israele non significa usare "parole forti". Questo termine fa parte del vocabolario del diritto internazionale, che ha preso forma dopo gli orrori della Seconda guerra mondiale. Accusare noi e chiunque parli di questo di antisemitismo è un cinico espediente per sviare l'attenzione di fronte a ciò che sta accadendo.

Today the Social Democrats committed suicide. At least in Germany, though this will also endanger this species of politics in other countries.
Why this bold claim? Today they announced that the coming CDU/SPD government will
- Abolish social security, only keeping unemployment money
- Abolish the 8-hour work day (in favour of a weekly limit)
- Pressure pensioners to keep working
Good luck pretending your party stands for social achievements in the tradition of the movements that won us the right to social security, pensions, and the 8 hour work day. There will be a mass exodus from the party. Workers don’t need the SPD; the SPD needs the workers. See you on the streets!
@vonderleyen no, the path to victory is strength, not the pact to peace. And we were not able to win even whe US support was in and Ukrainia still had enough human lives to spend
Farmaceutica, moda, auto e alimentare: i dazi ci faranno male.
La lista delle esportazioni italiane che rischiano di essere azzoppate dai dazi Usa al 25% annunciati da Trump dal 2 aprile contro i prodotti Ue è lunga. @nicolaborzi https://t.co/Oaqg6pN4Iq
Who funds the biggest US Think Tanks?
The Department of Defence, foreign governments and military contractors: "If think tanks are reliant on Pentagon contractors and there is no counterbalancing voice, it can lead to an entire sector singing in chorus for things that will benefit Pentagon contractors — most notably, ever-increasing defense budgets and foreign conflicts."

🚨 Uni of Lausanne now holds the sad title of being the first university in 🇨🇭 to fire (sorry "not renew the contract") of a professor, my colleague Prof Joseph Daher, for his solidary with the pro-palestinian students. Sign in solidarity here 👇 https://t.co/0u1hpEIb0f...
"Donald Trump’s demand for a $500bn (£400bn) “payback” from Ukraine goes far beyond US control over the country’s critical minerals. It covers everything from ports and infrastructure to oil and gas, and the larger resource base of the country."
What does this remind me of? Oh, yes, what the troika extracted from Greece. Not just "everything from ports and infrastructure to oil and gas, and the larger resource base of the country" but ALSO one million homes (collateral to NPLs that were handed over at 5% of face value to vulture funds) plus 70% of agricultural land.
Lest we forget...

“Where are the lawyers, the guardians of the constitution in Germany? (…) What is happening in Germany is not normal.”
It is indeed not normal. It reminds me of dark times, when the nice neighbors were looking the other way as people were taken away.
Germany is now, officially, a police state. The police told our organisers that in our meeting in Berlin, featuring a keynote by Francesca Albanese, that coppers will be in the audience, monitoring every word. Who needs the AfD to take power before fascism comes?
This is the end of my country: #Italy. A foolish increase in #MilitarySpending will kill the only reason why it is worth to live in Italy: its #WelfareState, i.e. its universal PUBLIC health system and education

The Secretary of Health and Human Services is a life-long Democrat and environmental lawyer, who spent his life fighting corporate waste dumping and regulatory capture by Big Pharma.
Yet every Dem voted NO, with Liz Warren upset that suing drug companies cuts their profits.🤷♂️
