Today the Italian Republic is 79 years old. It's survived Piazza Fontana, Borghese Coup, Italicus, via Fani, Ustica, Bologna, Rapido 904, Red Brigades, NAR, P2, Gelli, Gladio, Tangentopoli, Capaci, via D'Amelio, Riina, Bossi, Berlusconi & Dell'Utri, to mention but a few. Scarred but still standing.

UNBOUND AUTHORS: I’m speaking to a solicitor about our fine mess. If you have ANY correspondence with the company (beyond the “Dear Author” letters we all got) in 2024 about nonpayment or about the company’s financial stability, could I see it? I’m opening my DMs for this (don’t make me regret that)

Like the e-gates win which was not a win and it was not surely due to the EU-UK talks. He talks rubbish, such a pathetic liar!

This is the number of asylum seekers who arrived in 🇮🇹 in the last 10 years. I see today the RW Brits newspaper screaming their rage for only 1000 ones arriving on Brits shores. all of this is caused mainly by colonisation and wars for which UK is mainly the culprit so take your fair share!

I wrote about this when it first came out with some back of the envelope calculations and a reflection on how I probably wouldn’t be here if this were the pathway when I first came here. The whole policy is just unnecessarily horrible. #ukpol #immigration www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

aiwillybillhuman.substack.com/p/passport-t... Britain took back control, swapped fast lanes for folklore, and now queues with the rest of the world. The passport is blue, the air is humid, and the irony is suffocating.

Wow—this is what community looks like. It’s heartwarming to see locals rally around Buona Forchetta after it was raided by ICE on Friday. In the face of fear and cruelty, San Diegans are showing up with solidarity.

Important background, especially for people who think it’s obvious that the EU would be delighted to have the U.K. rejoin any time. It would be great if it eventually happens, but there is a serious basis for the EU’s wariness toward the U.K., which won’t be resolved just by superficial politeness.

The screeming of Brits saying the EU is punishing us without realising they imposed this self-harm on themselves. I would welcome any party or newspaper who told the truth rather than propagating these lies. @zackpolanski.bsky.social @labouruk.bsky.social @eddavey.libdems.org.uk @theguardian.com

This is how it’s done! FRIDAY: South Park, San Diego, neighbors weren’t having it. When ICE rolled up on an Italian restaurant in unmarked cars and started grabbing workers, the community hit the streets. (Sound up)

London’s world-class museum scene just got even better. The V&A Storehouse opens its doors today—offering Londoners and visitors a behind-the-scenes look at some of the V&A’s extraordinary treasures. Proud that City Hall helped bring this incredible free museum to life.

If I’m quiet when you meet me, don’t automatically assume I don’t like you. I’m an introvert, and I need time to open up to new people.

NEW: Day 600. Thousands of starving Palestinians walked for miles to an aid station in Gaza this morning. They were greeted by a drone overhead announcing there will be no food distribution today. A dystopian nightmare. A genocide. (🎥 Gaza photojournalist, Belal Abu Amer)

The idea that Britain has a military of such vast power that EU strategic independence can't be constructed without it is wrong and dangerous. Wrong bc the UK military, the nukes apart, has nothing special to offer and and dangerous bc it's intimately connected to the US's at every level
