(...) I want to remind us that it was Dr. King who said that we cannot capitulate to finite disappointments, and what we do is we confront those finite disappointments with infinite hope. And that is what we are in the process of doing." - Angela Davis

We’ve always confronted waves of conservatism. And while we cannot create the conditions for the struggles in which we engage, we can bring our determination. We can bring our vision for a better future. (...)

"A lot more is happening in the world than the inauguration of someone who represents fascism in this country and the world. And if we look back at struggles for justice and equality, we find that there aren’t often propitious moments for those struggles." 1\3

Molto di quello che penso Γ¨ riassunto nelle pagine della Trama alternativa. Questi appunti quasi solo per la difficoltΓ  di tradurre la parola accountability. Non solo da una lingua all'altra, ma dalla cultura dei media alla realtΓ .

β€˜We need a cultural revolution’: femicide victim’s family seek change in Italy After Giulia Cecchettin was killed by her ex-boyfriend, her sister shook the national conscience when she challenged a β€˜society steeped in rape culture’. She is still speaking out

Elena, 25, criticised the minister’s comments on social media, saying: β€œGiulia was killed by a respectable, white Italian man,” while also asking: β€œWhat is the government doing to prevent violence?”

So, you can't tell the truth: it's offensive. And the feeling of the offended person is worth more than the person killed by the truth.

β€œFor many the truce is worse, because Palestinians get to die slowly and in silence.” Dr Refaat Alareer - RIP, my friend

Ceasefire? Yes. We need an immediate ceasefire right now in Gaza. But the blockade must be lifted. Refaat knew that being alive was not the same as living.

Title: The exceedingly tiny bookshop

It is no wider than its own narrow door but is easy to find as there is always a  queue of eager customers outside.

One at a time, they enter to find themselves uncomfortably close to the proprietor. His impeccable suggestions are mote than worth the indignity.

In the miniature stockroom a professional contortionist is employed to unpack deliveries and replenish the display.

The shelves can accommodate only eleven volumes, but each is chosen with such care that nobody leaves empty handed.

On Saturday mornings, a local author reads stories to as many small children as can be wedged into the shop.

How can an extreme right-wing government deal with combating gender violence if patriarchy is part of its foundation?
