We express our deep concern about the situation of #Mohamed #Shahin, imam of the Omar Ibn al-Khattab mosque in Turin, currently detained following an expulsion order by the Ministry of the Interior.

His offence? Speaking for Palestine. Sign our petition: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Today we are striking. Against the Italian government's war budget. For Palestine. For a non-militarised society. We are doing this today so that we can continue to do it, and continue to fight for it.

Goodbye, Spotify! Goodbye to your CEO's billion-pound investment in drones and the development of artificial intelligence systems for military use. Goodbye to your ICE's ads.

For my listening and my HH music, everything else but Spotify. It's a simple, easy gesture. Necessary.

This work is part of a longer struggle. We hope it will be useful to those fighting the academic-military-industrial complex.

Today I am in Modena at the International Investigative Journalism Festival.

Together with Danilo Conte and Francesca Coin, we will talk about the fight against war in universities and workplaces.

And then I'll listen to the stellar Francesca Albanese, who will speak shortly after us.

To boycott everything Israel is the only way forward. But the coloniality of Western inhabiting is responsible for all this. To fight that, we need to get closer to our own homes.

For nothing stands in Gaza anymore, so that our rotten edifices can continue to stand.

...with "great humanity, technical precision and attention to shield civilians." For the relentless, ferocious, total annihilation of the 🇵🇸 people, history and place.

The USA are now sanctioning Francesca Albanese calling her fundamental investigative and justice-based work as "warfare".

The same people structurally foraging Israel's military industrial complex aka the Z!10n!st g3n0g1d@l machine.

Stay strong, Francesca. You're not alone 🇵🇸

In recent weeks, numerous cases have emerged of police officers infiltrating the structures of student-led political organisations in Italy.

What the State Police have deployed against them is a textbook strategy of terror.

What to expect from fascist regimes governed by resentment via the logistics of their military-academic-industrial-complex? Racist death as a tool of capital and patriarchal value-accumulation. Racist death on and on. Fuck them!

Today, the Italian newspaper Il Manifesto comes out with a 28-page issue entirely on G@z@.

I was interviewed about the work done with students all over Italy on relations with the military & P@lestine. A necessary, collective & formative struggle.
