"I have no words... I don't deserve it, it's the work of an entire movement."

#MariaCorinaMachado the emotional and incredulous reaction of the new Nobel Peace Prize winner. A lesson in civility for too many arrogant and incompetent leaders.

The "abuse of memory" is not forgetting but rather remembering in a way that perpetuates conflict and hatred, it makes the past a prison. The exemplary use acknowledges the tragedy of history without being defeated by it, transforming the weight of the past into a compass for the future

Kitsch Christianity with a sovereignist twist. It is the Trumpian version of Phariseeism transferred from the streets to Hollywood's “m(a)ega” convention centres. The Gospel, used as aftershave, for the supremacist self-promotion of a caste of decadent and out-of-touch rich people!

Cardinal Dolan has clearly never read the Bible!
Pathetic and, indeed, utterly shameful!
I love Pope Leo. A good, kind man who represents the Christian faith with honor. Contrast that with Cardinal Dolan who is a disgrace to the faith.. Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing we are warned.. smh

Cardinal Dolan hails Charlie Kirk as ‘modern-day Saint Paul’
“He was a missionary, he’s an evangelist, he’s a hero,” New York’s archbishop said of Kirk.

RESISTENZA CONTINUA
La Resistenza fu la scelta dell'umano contro il disumano. Ma per me il concetto di "resistenza" fa parte della condizione stessa del cristiano: egli può essere "nel" sistema, ma non "del" sistema, è un resistente perenne. Perciò la resistenza continua sempre.

SUMMARY
‘Many points have been agreed upon, very few remain, some of which are not so significant. One is probably THE MOST SIGNIFICANT, but we haven't got there yet’ (Trump)

A meeting between two clowns who promoted each other, making fun of Ukraine and the world!

POLITICHE SOCIALI
Dopo 1sparatoria nella metropolitana Navy Yard - Ballpark, con arresto di 1sospettato, a Washington DC è stata istituita zona con coprifuoco x i giovani (!?), dopo che oltre 100 giovani si erano radunati lanciando fuochi d'artificio, guidando moto da cross e monopattini elettrici!

For money, you can even expose yourself to Chinese espionage, but the poor are “criminals a priori” so they have to be evicted for... “security reasons.” The world and politics according to the world's leading power: stinking rhetoric from unscrupulous businessmen voted in by the “people”!

GLOBAL DEFICIENCY
#Trump arrives in #Scotland: “Stop immigration, it's killing Europe. Stop this terrible invasion. And enough with the wind turbines, they ruin the beauty of your countries.”

The art of politics, trampled on by a cheap golfer: power to the worst!

AN INDIGESTIBLE MEAL

Netanyahu, at dinner at the White House, forcefully nominates #Trump for the #NobelPrize. It may sound like a joke (and a rather vulgar one at that), but it is a further glimpse of politics reduced to a sideshow where criminals exchange pleasantries over the world's skin!

La FINE TURBOLENTA DI UNA RELAZIONE porta con sé inevitabili strascichi e riversa spesso le sue conseguenze sui membri più fragili del nucleo familiare...

Apprendiamo con sollievo che il giudice, con rara umanità, ha imposto a #TottiBlasi, l’affido congiunto dei...ROLEX contesi!

NIENTE, FA GIA' RIDERE COSI!

In Libia avrebbe dovuto incontrare il presidente e il governo per chiedere maggiori sforzi nel bloccare le partenze. Hanno fatto di più: hanno bloccato anche il suo arrivo! La credibilità internazionale della politica italiana di "propaganda".

SIPARIO!

Now unrestrained, the US President's ravings highlight the urgency for those who enter public office to undergo a preventive psychiatric examination. Americans and others may regret the increasingly out-of-control consequences.

«Questa mattina l'ospedale da campo della Croce Rossa a Rafah ha ricevuto un numero elevato di morti e feriti. Ciò è indicativo del crescente pericolo per i civili di Gaza e delle sfide che ogni giorno devono affrontare».

Arm wrestling

A federal appeals court has temporarily reinstated the more extensive duties imposed by President Donald Trump, just one day after a US trade court ruled that Trump had exceeded his powers and ordered the measures to be stopped immediately

IL PICCOLO TRUMP

La Commissione UE chiede all'Ungheria di ritirare il progetto di legge che mira a limitare i finanziamenti esteri alle ONG e alle organizzazioni dei media, in 1nuova campagna politica contro le interferenze straniere, x reprimere la stampa e le voci critiche della società civile!

Placid morning awakening, after more than 60,000 victims, since 7 October 2023 alone, and almost eighty years of occupation.
