The Oscar goes to «No other land», a norwegian- palestinian production (Antipode Films) made by an israeli and palestinian collective. Best documentary at Berlinale and European Film Awards. This is historical, and a poweful political message.

My thoughts on the disastrous meeting between Zelensky and Trump. Trump is beginning to realize that his peace plan is failing, and he tried to bully Zelensky into submission. It didn't work.

I wish Donald Trump good health for the next 3,5 years His narcissistic amoral chaos is child play compared to the evil which JDVance's resentful, cunning, organized and deliberate malevolence could unleash on the world if he'd become POTUS

«Ho scoperto che il mondo va diviso non in buoni e cattivi, ma in vigliacchi e non vigliacchi. Il novantacinque per cento dei vigliacchi a un accenno di minaccia è capace di qualunque bassezza, di bassezze letali.» V. Šalamov, «Cosa ho visto e capito nel lager»

"We’re witnessing the self-sabotage of the United States" from @davidfrum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

It is indeed easier to believe the lies that harm others than to have the guts to stand up for the truth.

I hear about heroic pledges to boycott Amazon today. I boycott Amazon every day. I have bought 2 (two) books om Amazon years ago. That was before I learned about working conditions and environmental impact. I buy (or order) from local shops. No effort on my side. I live well. Boomers do it better

Today on my way to work the bus driver started singing, in a beautiful tenor voice, «You’ll never walk alone» on the microphone. The whole bus applauded. There is hope, and goodness.

An unvaccinated child died of measles in the Texas outbreak. Measles kills 1 in every 1,000 people in developed nations, more where healthcare is scarce. The measles vaccine has never caused a death. It ALSO prevents deaths from measles. Anti-vaccine lies are killing children. 1/

In times where crime, blackmail and treason seem to rule the world and being evil, and showing it, has become a status symbol, being good to someone is being subversive. Be good to someone, every day. Be resistant. Be different. Make the difference. Don’t give up, ever. Be proud of being decent.

The only war that Putin is winning is inside Trump’s head. Putin only wins the war on the ground by setting American policy, through Trump. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Anyway - what the Trump government is doing to Ukraine and to its european NATO allies has a name: treason

Just felt like it.

Three years of war in Europe. «Ukraines future is entirely its own. At the same time, its destiny lies both in its and in our hands. We must do what we can to support those who are giving everything, every day. Slava Ukrajini. » Jens Soltenberg

I really don’t know who I’m reposting this for, for it seems to me these are well established facts if you’re in good faith. But if I look at italian media, for example, I see that good faith in some country has become a privilege for the few who can read english. So here it is.

Bundestagswahl in Germany today. Look at Sachsen. Brace brace brace.

Europe can fairly easily replace American military support for Ukraine, but it will require massive investments to replace U.S. in NATO. Interesting assessments from @kiel.institute. www.ifw-kiel.de/fileadmin/Da...

On February 24, G7 is to publish a joint declaration. Italy’s PM Meloni has announced she will NOT participate in G7. It’s hard to be a right wing european politician when you are unwilling to take sides. Best to wait and see «who’s winning» and only then join the winning side.

On monday, three year after the criminal and unlawful imperialistic aggression to Ukraine, Putin will probably declare «victory». All russian media have been instructed to do so. You can create imaginary history, but not imaginary peace.

No, we are not playing around

The UK is not playing around www.gov.uk/government/n...

Maksim Eristavi "500 million Europeans are waiting for 340 million Americans to protect them from 140 million russians who haven’t been able to win against 40 million Ukrainians for 3 years. what happened to our confidence?"

Lately I am reviewing my personal belief that there is no demonic entity. (This has a profound existential impact for myself, but is totally irrelevant for most people.) What should be evident and relevant for everybody, though, is that we are facing something very evil.

This is going to be interesting, since, somehow, the narrative of Israel supporting Ukraine is still alive and kicking in some circles, especially in Italy. That has never been the case - but now it’s growing more difficult for Israel not to take sides.

NEW: The Kremlin said it was unaware of “new elements” in Washington’s negotiating position, adding that it expects “to receive further clarification” from White House officials.

If Trump and Bibi are going to wipe out the palestinians and get Gaza to be a resort anyway, what would be the motivation for Hamas to keep the ceasefire? What’s in for them? Nobody cares if poor people die anyway.

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

The richest man on earth, Elon Musk is trying to kill a department, USAID, that helps the poorest people on earth Because USAID has been investigating Musk and his Starlink company — and their ties to Vladimir Putin and Russia THAT is why Musk is attacking USAID

RFK Jr has NEVER encouraged people to adhere to expert recommendations for vaccine schedules. His organization is selling these for $25.99 a pop (chdstore.org/product/53f199…) while measles outbreaks threaten children’s lives. Senators who vote for him to lead HHS are complicit.
