Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Gnegnegne “la Germania va a carbone”. Il Paese è prossimo a raggiungere il 60% di rinnovabili e le grandi città si liberano delle reti a gas per elettrificare gli edifici. Intanto, l’Italia punta ad aumentare la già abbondante quota di gas con forniture LNG da USA e Africa.

Amen to that.

ieri il giornale spagnolo #ElDiario ha rivelato che le armi USA per il #genocidio di #Israele transitano dalla #Spagna nonostante l'embargo spagnolo e ha citato #Sigonella, come vi avevamo rivelato con la nostra inchiesta www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/in-edicola/a...

"It's about trying to make white people feel victimised on the basis of their race in order to further the far-right's agenda. "What is that, if not a form of snowflakery?" Ash Sarkar tells Lewis Goodall about her new book, Minority Rule articles.globalplayer.com/7giHhfcW5Nfo...

Malcolm X was murdered on this day 60 years ago. If you haven't seen Spike Lee's monumental biopic of Malcolm X with one of the best performances ever by Denzel Washington today may be the right day to do that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sx4s...

NEW: Behind prison walls, Malcolm X developed his mind and his faith, honing his love for language. It was a formative time, best understood by considering what he read and appreciating what he wrote. newlinesmag.com/essays/a-new...

La sede di Fratelli d' Italia è in via della Scrofa, "l' unico quartiere generale di un partito che è riuscito a superare indenne il passaggio dalla Prima alla Seconda Repubblica". www.agi.it/politica/new...

🧵 I nostri media non si sono accorti che gli Stati Uniti sono in transizione dalla democrazia a un regime autoritario. Non il tipo di regime in cui esiste un solo partito e gli oppositori vengono imprigionati, esiliati o uccisi. 1/

Who's next? Vance? Rubio? Gabbard? RFK Jr?

Liar, liar, pants on fire. Once again, Italy had it first. Berlusconi was the prototype of the lying tycoon in politics; the difference was that he did not wield the same power on the global stage that Trump has. A month has passed, but it feels like a year has passed.

At least he tried to hide his impulses...

Isn’t it time for the folks on the left who aligned themselves with the “anti-woke” movement to admit they were conned?

In a small Italian port town, a far-right mayor has outlawed cricket in an attempt to erase Muslim communities from public life. But for the Monfalcone Tigers, the match isn't over yet. Stefania D'Ignoti reports. hyphenonline.com/2025/02/18/m...

Germany's far-right AfD has found a surprising source of support in the country's Turkish diaspora, 20% of whom are now expected to back the party. @jessicabateman.bsky.social reports on its divide-and-rule tactic & what it could mean for Muslims of all backgrounds. hyphenonline.com/2025/02/19/g...

At an elementary school at Fort Campbell in Kentucky, home of the 101st Airborne, librarians are scrubbing the shelves. They are removing books that even contain references to slavery or the civil rights movement. This is where "anti DEI" sentiment has brought us. They are whitewashing history.

There is nothing remarkable about a far-right politician calling for the normalization of other far-right politicians... except if you didn't realized yet that that politician was far right.

buongiorno a tutti! Avete presente la guerra che sta subendo #GiacomoSalvini e @fattoquotidiano.bsky.social per le chat interne di #FratelliDItalia? Beh,abbiamo intervistato un grande giornalista d'inchiesta:il neozelandese #NickyHager e leggete che dice: www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/in-edicola/a...

Friedrich Merz, almost certainly the next German Chancellor, is 10% less popular than his party!!

In November, Apple told @davidyambio.bsky.social he was targeted by “a mercenary spyware attack.” Yambio, an activist in Italy, has long criticized Italy’s dealings with Libya. He did not receive a notification from WhatsApp, so unclear what he was targeted with. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

One fascinating thing about this is I think basically everyone in Europe, including in the UK government, thought that this would be the role that Meloni would end up filling.

I am creating a dataset of "soccer politicians", i.e. soccer players who entered politics (successfully or unsuccessfully). We all know George Weah 🇱🇷 or, now, Mikheil Kavelashvili 🇬🇪, but there are many more at national and sub-national level. Do you know any? Names and links to info appreciated! 🙏

I'm very excited to be speaking soon with @rachelshabi.bsky.social about her brilliant new book and how we can have a constructive conversation about antisemitism. Join us on 19th Feb in London. Get your tickets..! www.jw3.org.uk/whats-on/whi...
