Neofascisti hanno picchiato del manifestanti dopo il corteo.
Guarda un po’, questo al Tg1 non lo hanno detto, i giornali di destra non ne hanno scritto e Meloni non ha condannato… che strano!

It is a deliberate policy: for two years now, Berlin’s mayor has chosen not de-escalation units but riot police – officers known for routinely unleashing extreme levels of violence against anti-genocide protesters; week after week, day after day.

Criticism of biased media coverage of Gaza is often discarded as baseless..

so we set out to study the coverage of Palestinian and Israeli victims by German press systematically!

The resulting study 'Hierarchies in Death' was just published #OA by Peacebuilding www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Twice, workers in Italy went on strike against the genocide. Twice, our department suspended its lectures. Not because professors joined the strike — most didn’t — but because the administrative staff did. A reminder: neither power nor morality are the prerogative of the elites. Quite the contrary.

In my experience, these are still not well-known:

1- Netanyahu’s intelligence ministry openly declared Israel’s intention to ethnically cleanse all Palestinians a few days after Oct 7.

Not even a week naa passed since the Hamas-
led attacks of October 7 when Israel's
(somewhat impotent) Intelligence Ministry, led by Gila Gamliel of Netanyahu's Likud Party,
published an official plan calling for the
"evacuation" of Gaza's 2.3 million residents.
The army began implementing a policy of destroying entire neighborhoods to prevent the return of the displaced not long after, and this became its primary mode of operation starting with the so-called "Generals' Plan" in late
2024.

Italian town of Santarcangelo revokes honorary citizenship granted to Mussolini 101 years ago. In 1924, 12 councillors deserted the meeting in an act of courage to defy the régime.
In 2025, Fratelli d'Italia councillors deserted the meeting in an act of cowardice to show their true colours.

Isee many people outside of Gaza saying the
flotillas are pointless. I'm here to tell you as a
journalist from Gaza that all of us here feel a sense
of hope from the 50 ships coming.
We are waiting for you and if they stop you, at least
you sacrificed and tried for our children

Italy was on strike in solidarity with Palestinians last Monday.
Hundreds of thousands demonstrated blocking roads, ports & railway stations. In Rome, many drivers found themselves stuck in traffic — & were happy about it, saluting demonstrators & condemning Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.

This is despite consistent obfuscation, banalization and both-sidesism by German media and politicians.

But it's no surprise - a very large part of the population has long been indifferent or hostile to the political, cultural and media elite's unconditional support for Israel.

Nearly 2 years. Nearly every single day of the past two years I find a video of a parent or anyone else looking for the corpse of a child in Gaza in the hope that the obvious is not true.

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like

"A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act."

fuck yeah

I'm glad Kimmel is coming back.

However, "free speech" where you can reverse government-coerced corporate censorship but only if your supporters make stock price influencing noise would be like a healthcare system in which you need a GoFundMe to go viral to afford treatment.
