2025.03.21 - Oggi Valigia Blu pubblica l'articolo che ho scritto con Pat Lugo sulla situazione in Ucraina. Vincerà la 'geopolitica muscolare' o la cooperazione? Chi sarà all’altezza delle incombenti sfide globali, prima fra tutti la crisi climatica? @valigiablu.it

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.

Il golpe della Silicon Valley: un lungo processo ideologico, culturale e politico - Valigia Blu La creazione del Dipartimento per l’efficienza governativa (DOGE) non è dunque solo un’impresa personalistica di Musk: è piuttosto il risultato di un lungo processo ideologico, culturale e politico ch...

La Silicon Valley non è mai stata "di sinistra".

Le sua corrente reazionaria parte negli anni '90 con le prime tirate misogine, si espande con il primo mandato Trump e trionfa con Musk e il DOGE.

Ora si sta realizzando il suo sogno finale: sbarazzarsi della democrazia.

‘Profits from fossil fuel production have to be shared with domestic governments in the form of royalties and other taxes. Few governments, in countries rich or poor, would willingly relinquish those revenues.’

Fear of war looms in Gaza as Israel wreaks havoc in occupied West Bank Palestinians in Gaza condemn Israel for threatening to resume ‘intense fighting’ if Hamas does not release all captives.

Hamas says it appreciates positions adopted by Jordan and Egypt that have rejected the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza and touted an Arab reconstruction plan.

Israel has threatened to resume war in Gaza if captives are not released this weekend, while Hamas insists it remains committed to the ceasefire deal and accuses Israel of violating it.

ENOUGH!
YouTube video by exit_lab ENOUGH!

"ENOUGH" 6.5 trillions US dollars spent on the 20 years (2001 - 2021) of "the war on terror". 3.5 trillions were ENOUGH to eradicate world poverty!

Banners at Farnborough Airport during a protest in February 2025, reading "Flying to Extinction" and "Private Jets = Public Deaths"

#ExtinctionRebellion with local campaign groups, councillors and residents voiced opposition to #Farnborough Airport's plans which would almost double the number of private jet flights to 70,000 a year - blatantly ignore the #ClimateCrisis.

Commission's compass requires calibration: EU needs a net-zero industrial strategy but not deregulation CAN Europe regrets that the Commission takes a dangerous misstep by framing regulation as the primary obstacle to competitiveness. It is not the rules that protect people, climate and the environment ...

🚨 Competitiveness Compass is out 🚨

Commission takes a big misstep by framing regulation as an obstacle to competitiveness. It is not the rules protecting people, climate & environment that hold companies back, but the lack of investment & high energy prices driven by the EU’s fossil gas dependency.

Here it is the follow-up to Mr Draghi's competitiveness strategy for the EU. But who really needs deregulation? What we need is a strong clear vision to ensure the transition... Definetely this is not a good start! #ClimateEmergency

🌍 Climate change isn’t just an environmental issue! It’s a threat that concerns us all.

🔥 400,000 lives lost yearly
🏠 26M displaced by disasters
💧 1B face severe water shortages

Those least responsible will suffer the most. 💔⚖️
