At the beginning of 1900 Italian women socialists campaigned hard against the war. They want through of WW1, and campaigned more. Fascism was on the rise, people starved and capitalists needed to make money. They kept advocating for peace in every number of the magazine, but we know how it went. 💔

Lately I have been reading about Anna Kuliscioff, Crimean-Italian socialist, doctor, activist, journalist, died 100 years ago on Dec. 29th, 1925. The archive of the magazine she founded Is online and it's too easy to draw parallels with today.

![Screenshot of a digitalized page of socialist magazine "la difesa delle lavoratrici" (in defense of female workers), published on Jan 2nd 1921. There is an illustrations depicting gallows on a rock amid the sea. From the gallows 11 men and women hang dead. From the clothing they look fascists, bankers, bourgeois and their women. The writing says: [this is] "what those responsible for the war deserve" .
In the foreground there's a small boat with a woman standing on it. She looks down, while holding a oar.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yi3mv6oyftjonzvd3sarkoeb/bafkreib4ynfs4wjdlazw3wpuijkn6d4faumacprro6no6mfctlmvdqlhua@jpeg)

Basic facts on #InternationalMigrantsDay:
👉 Migration is simply the movement of people from one place to another. Anyone who moves, whether across borders or within a country, is a migrant. That means a person who moved from Italy to Brussels to work in the EU bubble is a migrant too.

Academics and technologists are sounding the alarm about a growing crisis in scholarship as we know it: AI-generated citations of nonexistent papers that have infested real journals. Despite being fake, the sources are widely assumed to be authentic the more they appear in published literature.
