I suggest you read this. Carefully. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

In Italia, destra, centro e sinistra hanno unanimemente deciso che nelle attuali circostanze la cosa migliore è fingersi morti; alla finestra e aspettare non sanno neanche loro cosa. È abietto, ma io non sono per niente stupito. I nostri politici hanno da sempre il coraggio di un tapiro.

If you want to read a very interesting book, I suggest this one: Roberta A. Adams, “Trumpism, Carl Schmitt, and the Threat of Anti-Liberalism in the United States: The Political Thought of Donald Trump and Trumpism”, Lanham, Maryland: Lexington Books, 2024.

Trump doesn’t want neither “peace” nor justice for Ukraine. He wants to exploit the war for an obscene “deal” with Putin. Moscow steals territory, Washington steals resources. Only the Europeans can now stand in the way of this act of gangsterism.

Dear Ukrainian friends: as an American, I cannot fully express how ashamed and indignant I am for a abject betrayal obscenely passed as “peace talks”. I have no words.

There’s more to the apparently frivolous discussion about Zelensky’s attire that meets the eye. kyivindependent.com/why-doesnt-z...

kyivindependent.com/russia-offer... In case you wonder why Trump is accelerating and increasing the pressure on Kyiv to accept his “deal”: here’s what the Russian offered in February.

It’s not Ukraine alone, of now being caught between a tyrant in Moscow and a mobster in Washington: it’s the entire Europe itself. Don’t ask for whom the bell tolls. This time is really tolling for you as well. Greetings from a palpably shell-shocked Warsaw.

Polish Nobel Peace Prize winner Lech Wałęsa and 38 other former political prisoners of Poland's communist regime have condemned Donald Trump's treatment of Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday, which they said reminded them of communist interrogation techniques

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.

so glad these two friends and great human beings won Oscar for Best Documentary, so well deserved please go and watch "No other Land" www.youtube.com/shorts/eBLKk...

“We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; for he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother”. -William Shakespeare. Henry V: Act IV, Scene III.

Time for Europe to finally use russia’s frozen assets to arm Ukraine

Today is a reminder of Zelensky's superhuman stamina and strength. He deflected deeply unfair vile attacks in his 3rd language and kept it together while two bullies threatened his country's existence and repeated the tired but infuriating propaganda tropes of the aggressor.

«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»

I think what makes this moment feel so big and groundbreaking is that even those among us who have been talking about the need/danger of a Europe without the US for a long time, were usually in the mindset of a US disinterested in Europe. But not a US actively hostile to Europe& European interests.

We have just witnessed an unbelievable scene at the Oval Office. Trump is a thug, Vance a moron, and this presidency will soon descend into chaos. It will be worse than the presidency of Buchanan, whose idiocy sparked the Secession and the Civil War.

Elly Schlein: “Noi non siamo con Trump e il suo falso pacifismo e non siamo con l’Europa per continuare la guerra”. Brava. E quindi con chi siete? Con il Grande Puffo?

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.

Gene Hackman played dozens of different roles in his career. But to me, the most memorable will always be the one of the cop in “Mississippi Burning”. A film now more relevant than ever.

I am not sharing the obscene video posted by Trump about his “Trump Gaza”, only a short commentary with selected images: it is a monstruos sell out of ethnic cleansing, disguised as a Las Vegas real estate development. Only a mentally ill person could do such a thing. youtu.be/rcUKp9a-s_4?...

Very tough day yesterday, with the US siding with Russia against Ukraine. But at least all of those people who told us for three years that Ukraine was just a US proxy will now admit they were wrong (no?)

This was the first time in their lives, I realized, that these boys and girls had been in an actual classroom. The Russian invasion began as covid was ending. Two years of covid seclusion had been followed directly by three years of war. The kids were buoyant. snyder.substack.com/p/my-favorit...

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...
