In un'aiuola creata da un muro di contenimento in pietra a lato di una strada, delle rose rosse che hanno perso del tutto o in parte i loro petali si stagliano di fronte ad un paesaggio collinare che, all'alba, è illuminato dai primi raggi del sole.

They’re marching to slaughter under Putin’s command - and every life lost is another indictment of his reckless ambition. 281,000 Russian soldiers killed this year. https://www.politico.eu/article/russia-lost-more-soldiers-ukraine-2025-alone/

Russia bleeds troops for microscopic frontline gains

Both Ukraine and Russia are finding it difficult to recruit new soldiers.

A ceasefire seems to be here, but make no doubt that the horrors inflicted on Gaza by Israel with U.S. support where a testing ground.

Not only have they proven governments can commit atrocities without consequences, they have a blueprint to bring those horrors home.

Be sure of this: many of the horrors the west allowed in Gaza will come closer to home | Owen Jones

History shows the crimes of empire were later mirrored on European soil. Dehumanisation and militarised terror both seem normalised now, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

The United States has eight warships in the Caribbean near Venezuela and 10 F-35 jets in Puerto Rico. It is the biggest force in the region since 1994, when the US helped oust a military regime in Haiti. So, many wonder: Will Venezuela, home to the largest proven oil reserves in the world, be next?

History Illustrated: Is the US eyeing its next Latin American target?

US warships massing off the coast of Venezuela raise the spectre of yet another military intervention.

Really good piece from Jane Bradley and co at NYT.

Earlier this summer Democracy for Sale revealed how anti abortionists, including ADF, were pumping money into the U.K.

Free Speech Union still hasn’t responded to our queries. Funny that…

Your regular reminder that, yes, the country is broken, and no, it wasn't immigration that did it.

The social decline in the UK was and is about ever-growing wealth inequality. For the sake of society's survival, we need a wealth tax. www.theguardian.com/inequality/2...

Lifetime of earnings not enough for UK workers to join wealthiest 10%, report says

Research finds it would take average worker saving all their earnings for 52 years to match wealth of richest 10th of society
