Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.

Per questo, per altro, per tutto.

For decent working conditions in healthcare & education, for #GKN, for #FreePalestine, for an education sector free from the military-industrial complex, for #RamyelGaml, died at the hand of police officers in Milan.
For all of this, and so much more.

Don’t pile on Jack Smith for voluntarily dismissing charges against Trump without prejudice. It means the new Trump AG can’t come in and kill the cases on Trump’s terms. Smart move by Smith that preserves options for later.

As part of the ceasefire that just went into effect in Lebanon, it would be great if Israeli forces would cease firing.
Day 1 of the ceasefire and Israeli forces occupying south Lebanon have already shot towards journalists and continue to destroy public infrastructure

Because that’s what the Israelis do

Yesterday, Egyptian activist Alaa Abdel Fattah turned 43 years old, marking his 11th birthday behind bars, away from his family and friends.

May it be the last one apart from his loved ones.

Thinking of him as he is held illegally in custody beyond the completion of his sentence.

Free speech is a beautiful thing, but when a billionaire thinks his voice is more valuable than yours and steps on your opinion using their vast wealth it creates an inequality that we really need to address.
