Se va del Madrid el entrenador más laureado de la historia del club. Con esto está dicho todo. Grazie mille, Ancelotti, por tu sabiduría, tu elegancia y tu madridismo. Siempre serás uno di noi. 🤍

“European nations face the challenge of a new world order as a matter of necessity, not of choice. Either they succeed in channelling a response through the EU, or countries’ individual responses will gradually sideline the bloc.” on.ft.com/3YEQTZY

Honor eterno a los republicanos españoles que dieron su vida por la libertad. ¡Viva España antifascista!

💙 ¡Viva Europa! 🇪🇺

NOW.

🇪🇺 United in Diversity. Europe, our home. 🌍 Today, we celebrate the European dream and the values that bring us together. Europe Day is your day! 💙 Enjoy the feeling with the new digital merch 👉 europa.eu/!VWYmRc

On this day in 1945, World War II ended in Europe. The unconditional surrender of the German Third Reich took effect on 8 May, bringing to a close six years of war across the continent. Just five years later, Europe began a new chapter, with the creation of what would become our European Union.

“We’ve crushed fascism before and we’ll crush it again.” That’s right. ✊

Somos Europa. 🇪🇺 Generemos un sentido de pertenencia europeo desde la educación y la pedagogía permanentes, pasando de sabernos europeos a sentirnos europeos. Nos vemos este domingo a mediodía en Callao. 💙

Stressing the importance of “building bridges and dialogue”, the new pope said he wanted a Catholic Church that would “always seek peace, charity . . . and to always be especially close to those who suffer”. on.ft.com/3EKkSsJ

Enhorabuena, @hayderecho.bsky.social, por 10+ años promoviendo una mejor democracia en 🇪🇸. ¡Que cumpláis muchos más! 👏 Y enhorabuena, @safiracantos.bsky.social+equipo, por haber juntado hoy a tantas personas comprometidas de quienes aprender: @estefmolina.bsky.social, @7silverio.bsky.social, etc. 🫶

Trumpists, get ready – the lion is coming.

Karl Marx lives on through his ideas.

“Ask DeepSeek v3 about Taiwan & it cheerfully begins to explain that it’s ‘officially known as the Republic of China’. But after it’s composed a few sentences, it stops itself, deletes its initial answer & instead curtly suggests, ‘Let’s talk about something else.’” economist.com/briefing/202...

💙 ¡Vamos, Europa 🇪🇺, sí se puede! 💪 Allí estaremos. 😊

🛑 Stop Israel’s genocide in Gaza!

‘Trump says he does not know if he needs to uphold the US constitution’ on.ft.com/4d2oHpL

Yep, “Donny 2 Dolls” Trump, “‘your family will have less, but it’ll be more expensive’ is definitely a solid economic pitch.” on.ft.com/44niEtC

Las madres que también se merecen poder celebrar su día son las de Gaza.

Feliz Día Internacional de los Trabajadores y las Trabajadoras. Solidarity forever! ✊

“They arrested me. What’s the reason? Because I raised my voice, and I said no to war, yes to peace,” Mohsen Mahdawi said. “Because I said, ‘Enough is enough. Killing more than 50,000 Palestinians is more than enough.’ ” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/n...

Qué interesante escuchar hoy a @andrea-rizzi.bsky.social explicar los revanchismos a los que nos enfrentamos en Europa, provenientes de Rusia, China, Estados Unidos y de nuestro propio continente. Y, contra estos revanchismos, qué inspiradora su llamada a la resistencia y la rebeldía.

“Trump, in his mangling of history & economics, is steering the US & the world to a dead end.” “Trump’s 1st term shows that tariffs did nothing to narrow the US’ trade deficit.” “A monomaniacal focus on the trade balance has no bearing on the economy’s real strengths.” economist.com/leaders/2025...

At work, “it’s not following instructions that matters but the ability to imagine & judge options/alternatives. This requires curiosity, initiative to think beyond obvious agendas, resilience when answers aren’t obvious & a love of learning to power new skills.” giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

GRAN APAGÓN 1. SEGURIDAD también es suficiencia, resiliencia, infraestructuras... 2. Las renovables muestran su fuerza y flexibilidad, aportando hasta el 90% de la generación cuando salíamos del apagón y copan la producción. 3. Fiasco nuclear: incapaces de reaccionar, siguen paradas 24 h después.

“Revolución tecnológica + feminismo + envejecimiento + crisis climática = modelos socioeconómicos han de ser revisados.

El viernes pasado tuve el privilegio de participar en un encuentro con Santiago Cabanas, quien fue embajador de España 🇪🇸 en Estados Unidos 🇺🇸. Fue una conversación extremadamente interesante y oportuna sobre el futuro de Europa 🇪🇺 y nuestra relación con EE. UU. y China 🇨🇳.

Hoy en la península ibérica se fue la electricidad. Pero no se fueron ni la luz ni la energía de la gente: en las calles se mantuvieron la responsabilidad, la solidaridad y el civismo. ¡Viva España! 🇪🇸 Viva Portugal! 🇵🇹

“US stocks have underperformed the rest of the world this year by the widest margin in more than three decades as Trump’s erratic policymaking sparks an investor exodus from US assets.” on.ft.com/42UAVft

Buona Festa della Liberazione! ✊ Gloria a todas las personas que lucharon por la libertad y la democracia en 🇮🇹. Larga vida a la resistencia antifascista. youtu.be/4CI3lhyNKfo?...

“If China stays close to the AI frontier, it could be the first to make the leap to superintelligence. Should that happen, it might gain more than just a military advantage. In a superintelligence scenario, winner-takes-all dynamics may suddenly assert themselves.” economist.com/leaders/2025...

Still standing with Ukraine against Russia’s crime of aggression. For justice, for Europe and for a rules-based international order. Slava Ukraini!

Es vergonzoso que la Unión Europea no sancione a Israel por el genocidio en Gaza y, por supuesto, es vergonzoso que España le compre/venda munición/armas a Israel.

📚 ¡Feliz Día Internacional del Libro! 🌹 #upcoming

Memories ✊ bring back memories 🗽

Larry David: “Imagine my surprise when in the spring of 1939 a letter arrived at my house inviting me to dinner at the Old Chancellery with the world’s most reviled man, Adolf Hitler.” And it goes on. This is genius. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/o...

Se han cumplido 50 días desde que Israel impuso un bloqueo total a la ayuda humanitaria en Gaza, lo que supone el periodo más largo sin suministros desde que comenzó la ofensiva israelí en octubre de 2023, que se ha cobrado la vida de más de *51.200* personas: www.europapress.es/internaciona...

«La revolución será siempre un crimen o una locura donde quiera que prevalezcan la justicia y el derecho, pero es derecho y es justicia donde prevalezca la tiranía». ——— Manifiesto Revolucionario de diciembre de 1930, emitido por el Comité Revolucionario Republicano-Socialista.

Pope Francis: “As long as the problems of the poor are not radically resolved by rejecting the absolute autonomy of markets & financial speculation and by attacking the structural causes of inequality, no solution will be found for the world’s problems or to any problems.”

“Trumpism is a multi-front assault to make the earth a playground for ruthless men.” “Trumpism is about ego, appetite and acquisitiveness, and is driven by a primal aversion to the higher elements of the human spirit – learning, compassion, science, justice.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/o...

“The key to challenging authoritarian regimes, @mariajstephan.bsky.social said, is for citizens to decline to participate in immoral and illegal acts. Stephan has a phrase for this mindset: ‘I think of it as collective stubbornness,’ she said.” www.newyorker.com/news/the-wee...
