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

For the smuggler in the White House, even people's health is a private matter.

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!

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!

The natural understanding between statesmen, champions of democracy!
A true idyll...
No doubt about it: we are in excellent hands! 😱😭

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!

"VALORI"

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.

INACCETTABILE

«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!

THE JOINT STATEMENT by the leaders of the United Kingdom, France and Canada

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

US President Trump on Putin: Statements by a statesman (??!!)

"I thought there was a very good chance, about 50 per cent, that he would say, 'I want to take it all.' I didn't know what he would say, and then they have a different kind of problem. But I think he wants to stop."

A heritage of democracy increasingly threatened and violated, first and foremost at the heart of the “great democracies” of the West. Objective information and awareness remain absolutely irreplaceable for any hope of a future.

Some said they were shocked that #Trump could, “desecrate” a St. Peter's aisle, holding political talks with Zelenskyy. In many ways it is the most dignified thing he has done since his re-election, a feat for someone used to turning everything into a mockery, including people's human lives!

Great! The catastrophic Waltz, under scrutiny after putting up a chat on Signal and mistakenly including The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg, revealing discussions with senior national security officials, was dismissed from national security adviser, to become invaluable US ambassador to the UN!🤡👏

"We will also continue to collaborate with Italy in the fight against irregular immigration", guarantees #Erdogan to #Meloni. The latter thanks him, observing how cooperation is already "working very well". And a shiver runs along our back...

Europe’s highest court struck down Malta’s controversial “golden #passport” program, which allows people to buy citizenship, in a landmark ruling Tuesday. Passport in exchange for a one-off investment of at least €600,000 and residing in #Malta. Many countries do the same, not by declaring it!
