Mass protests and strikes for Gaza bring Italy to a standstill

Roads and ports were blocked and schools closed after unions called for general strike over Israel’s war on Gaza.

UniTo approva la mozione per Gaza: “È sterminio”. Ma in 500 chiedono: “Rompere subito con Israele”

Un solo voto contrario, della direttrice del dipartimento di Matematica: «Pericoloso precedente che rischia di aprire la porta a usi strumentali»

We see YOU, we hear YOU and this is the very least we can do for YOU #freepalestine #freegaza #stayhuman

The Italian people made us smile in Gaza

The mass mobilisation for Palestine across Italy echoed in Gaza. We are truly grateful.

It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.

Being seen as a loser is what Trump fears this most. The “loser” label undermines his status as an authoritarian figure, making it impossible to uphold his image as a “strict father” conservative.

The global outcry against authoritarianism transcends borders. Europe expresses solidarity with the American people in their pursuit of democracy, justice, and the well-being of all citizens.

Please tell people that they don’t have to stand out to do good work and be respected.

Doing honest research and taking care of your colleagues and your field can be as valuable.

We already have so much anxiety and fomo in the field, I’m not sure it’s making us better.

Tips to keep democracy alive in 2025:

1. Be Brave. Avoid helpless/hopeless talk. Authoritarians want you to feel powerless because it makes their work easier. Courage, faith, and optimism are essential. Fascism feeds on cynicism and pessimism. Starve it.
