Buen día para recordar que la ciudadanía europea lleva ya más de un año sufriendo la "labor intensa de explicaciones y pedagogía política" (=propaganda de guerra) que trata de convencernos de que la defensa europea pasa por comprar más armas y apostar por la confrontación bélica con Rusia.

The Crypto Strategic Reserve is more than a money scam. It's a plot to dismantle democracy and replace nation-states with "network states." Tech bros have openly discussed it for years. For the @newrepublic.com, I wrote about their scary and dystopian vision. newrepublic.com/article/1857...

I'm guess that the fact that men earned more than women for the last century was at no time described by this newspaper as a 'social crisis gripping young women'.

The obscene secret of patriarchal masculinity was always that the patriarch is an infantile subject, unable to care for himself and others, but infinitely demanding of love and care. Once these demands are denaturalised and refused, patriarchal masculinity becomes petulant, whiny, and irrational.

El lenguaje orwelliano alcanza su clímax en Israel. La limpieza étnica de Gaza que promueven será llevada a cabo por una "administración de migración voluntaria". Tan voluntaria como lo fue la de los judíos de Alemania en el siglo pasado. elpais.com/internaciona...

O Carnaval é na ordem subjetiva e afetiva o maior dispositivo antifascista criado na história da humanidade. No nível micro, o fascismo precisa produzir corpos tristes através do cansaço e da desesperança. O Carnaval é uma janela para lembrar o tanto de potência que corpos alegres são capazes.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

It's high time people understood that their political values can't be applied selectively. They either apply both here and abroad, or they're meaningless. You're either for democracy and equality everywhere, or you're not. The price of inconsistency is what we're seeing all around us today.

Tras 20 años de juez instructor, lo que he visto siempre es que la reincidencia delictiva afecta a españoles y a extranjeros en situación de marginalidad social. Ya está bien de racismo. El 98% de los migrantes no delinque: es pura xenofobia vincular extranjería y delincuencia.

Hope is Palestinians’ strongest weapon, & it’s what kept them going for 77yrs despite all the odds. I love it when our supporters share our optimism & aspirations, & when any pessimism & defeatism is kept in private because trust me we get it but we need to believe in dreams.
