1. Granitiche certezze quelle di @matteorenzi da @corradoformigli: "dove si sono fatte le #patrimoniali, 8 ricconi su 10 se ne sono andati. C'è una vasta letteratura scientifica su questo". La letteratura empirica non è nè vasta nè granitica!! Fonte: #Ocse 2018 👇
Ho detto a Piazza Pulita che la patrimoniale non funziona. È uno slogan, non una legge. E ho paragonato Giorgia Meloni a Wanna Marchi, purtroppo.

Italian war reporter Francesca Mannocchi: “What Israel is doing in southern Lebanon is, quite simply, no different from what Russian troops have been doing in Ukraine. It’s the same thing... Since 2022, have we ever read a headline saying “Putin is building a security buffer zone in Mariupol”? No. We’ve always called it what it is: a military occupation. Yet when Israeli troops do the exact same thing in southern Lebanon, but we call it a “security buffer zone.” That framing clearly shapes perception. We are talking about the same dynamics, the same methods, the same displacement of civilians, the same destruction. And yet, on one side it is widely seen as a war crime; on the other, as a legitimate security operation. So why the difference? Because in recent years there has been a gradual erosion in how international law is perceived and applied. And it has its convenient enemies. Putin is an easy one: no one would seriously argue that the Russian Federation is a democracy. Israel, on the other hand, continues to be described, and accepted, as a democracy, even when that label is increasingly contested. Why? Because this implicates us. While we no longer feel allied, morally or politically, with Russia, many in the West still see themselves as morally and militarily aligned with Israel.”

🗽Our co-chair @JosephEStiglitz was clear: the super rich pay a much lower tax rate than the working class — and even lower than what they themselves paid in the 60s. "it's time they start paying their fair share", he said alongside @gabriel_zucman & #NYCMayor @ZohranKMamdani

Bombardare centri di ricerca, università e scuole non ha alcun senso da un punto di vista militare. Se lo fai è perché vuoi uccidere e terrorizzare i civili e cancellare il patrimonio collettivo e la cultura di un popolo. Non vuoi “vincere”. Vuoi annichilire una parte di umanità.
