Ecco.. Negli #StatiUniti il tema dei soldi per l'#Ucraina sta diventando tossico. I membri del #Congresso chiedono un controllo totale della destinazione di questi fondi giganteschi. E di dove andranno a finire le nuove decine di miliardi richieste dal vecchio e imbarazzante
#Biden, che a #CapitolHill è stato giustamente definito il vicepresidente dell'Ucraina.. Era inevitabile, è la legge della politica. I Repubblicani, più forti dopo le elezioni, stanno cavalcando un'onda più grande contro i democratici. I Democratici stanno reagendo. Non fatevi
illusioni, continueranno ad essere stanziati ingenti fondi per militarizzare il regime ucraino. Questo fa parte del consenso russofobico delle élite politiche americane.. La cosa importante è un'altra. Diventerà sempre più difficile farlo. E l'umore degli americani comuni
L'ULTIMA FOLLIA DI DONALD TRUMP

"Intendo grazia completa con scuse a molti", ha detto in un'intervista radiofonica #Trump, lasciando intendere che una mossa del genere sarebbe subordinata ad una sua nuova corsa vittoriosa alla Casa Bianca.

THREAD: Vigils across America demanding action against #Pakistan for its inhuman treatment of Hindus & other minorities. The @chingariproject calls on all communities to join this movement to bring an end to abduction, forced conversion to Islam & rape of young girls in Pakistan.
Every day, in #Pakistan, 3 girls from the minority communities are kidnapped, forcibly converted and "married" off, often as 2nd and 3rd wives of Muslim men.
Many of these girls are as young as 12 and the men they are married off to, in their 30s and 40s. 2/n

@MarietjeSchaake: The digital revolution has had a deep impact on public debate, including due to targeted advertising online that seeks to change user behaviour, especially voting choices.

@JJCarafano: It is important to distinguish between influencing voters -- a part of the regular democratic process -- and malicious activity manipulating voter choices. I do not see much empirical evidence for the latter.

EXCLUSIVE: The man who rammed a car into Capitol Police, killing one, has been identified as Noah Green. Green was armed w/a large blade when he was shot dead. He identified as a follower of the black nationalist Nation of Islam movement.
FB has immediately deleted his profile.
FB has immediately deleted his profile.
I only had seconds to look at Noah Green's Facebook page before it was deleted. He was living in Norfolk, Va.
From what I saw, many of his posts were of a religious (Islamic) nature. He appeared to be a deeply devout follower of the Nation of Islam & went by the name, "Noah X."

@AOC che critica #Robinhood perché non lascia comprare #GameStop ai piccoli investitori è l'ultimo nonsense di un sistema impazzito. Comprare #GameStop oggi è come spendere 4 m. euro per 20mq a Tor Bella Monaca ("per far perdere gli speculatori") e volerci anche fare dei soldi
Le trading app come #RobinHood o #eToro usano le commissioni zero sul trading azionario come specchietto per gonzi. In realtà sono molto costose su derivati, leva finanziaria, trading di crypotovalute (dove indirizzano gran parte degli utilizzatori)
Le trading app come #RobinHood o #eToro non sono il riscatto dei piccoli sui titani di Wall Street o gli hedge fund, ma l'opposto: un sistema ben dissimulato per aspirare soldi dal basso della scala sociale verso l'alto. Dai piccoli risparmiatori a #WallStreet. Perché? Semplice..
New: @FBINewYork report says "pre-operational planning" went in to Jan. 6 #CapitolRiot. Some "used amateur #hamradios & encrypted app, such as @signalapp, to communicate operational plans.”
“These individuals believed these communication methods were more secure than a cellular phone line. (Attackers) used call signs as opposed to their true names on these radios..."
"...The (attackers) programmed the frequencies of their radios prior to traveling to the Washington D.C. area. Accessories used with the amateur #hamradio included ear pieces, throat mic[rophone]s, and push-to-talk wrist buttons..."

Partiamo dal principio, inutile dire che l'avvento di internet prima e dei social ha cambiato radicalmente il ns. modo di rapportarci con i ns. simili, con i media, con la politica.

Partiamo dal principio, inutile dire che l'avvento di internet prima e dei social ha cambiato radicalmente il ns. modo di rapportarci con i ns. simili, con i media, con la politica.
Molto spesso sentiamo parlare del concetto di neutralità della rete #NetNeutrality ovvero obbligare i fornitori di connettività a garantire senza limitazioni di accesso e velocità a qualsiasi servizio o piattaforma internet e/o senza avantaggiare un fornitore rispetto ad un altro
Cosa c'entro questo con i social?
Mi sono chiesto tante volte se i social con le loro piattaforme dovessero anch'essi garantire una sorta di neutralità dei contenuti e far circolare liberamente il "pensiero" degli utenti.
La risposta che mi sono sempre dato è no, per una serie

Political Violence – a Perspective
The next time someone on the Left tries to take the moral high ground re: #CapitolHill riot, to pretend like #Republicans are the violent ones, please show them this.

Let’s go back, way back, and see what the Left has been up to.

Firstly, for comparison, lets look at the Right.
See below: all the Anti-Clinton and Anti-Obama and Anti-Biden protests.
4 listed against Hillary; None by Right-Wing groups.
9 listed against Obama; Only violence was in Greece.
1 (sortof) against Biden. Left-wing protest.

But this past Autumn, there *have* been many Pro-Trump protests. About 15. I can’t paste them all, but you can see a list here:

Every day, @Reuters photographers capture the news: the first vaccination; protestors in HK; a mob attacks the U.S. Capitol. I love the way many also spin patterns + even art from the events around them. Here are 5 pix from recent days that force you to look at the world afresh:

2. People in #Singapore watch a movie outdoors. The setup allows them to distance themselves and avoid catching the coronavirus. Edgar Su took this pic.

3/13 "Moments after voting on the Senate floor, Senator @amyklobuchar joins us from a secure location inside #CapitolBuilding and says the president is responsible for today's failed attempted coup, and she wants every person involved to be prosecuted."
There was a bizarre European conspiracy doing the rounds on far-right platforms in the hours leading up to the US #CapitolHill riots earlier this week, inexplicably drawing in one EU member state to the 'fraudulent' election claims. Bear with me on this one...
I spent some time trawling through social media networks as well as some of the more fringe platforms, and stumbled upon an outlandish story that had garnered a lot of attention from far-right extremists online.
This was the claim that an Italian civil servant, 'Stefan Serafini,' based in Rome, had colluded with former President Barack Obama, ex Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi & Leonardo SPA (an Italian aerospace defence contractor), to rig the 2020 US elections.

How has religion been used to fan the flames of insurrection on Capitol Hill? - welcome to the participants to our zoom briefing today! We'll be live-tweeting as we go along:
Bishop @Mebudde felt a range of emotions on yesterdays events such as shock outrage, deep confusion, and alarm at the ways they unfolded with some predictability #capitolhill #washington #briefing
Bishop @Mebudde highlights there was no protection for vulnerable people, the homeless and key workers in the #CapitolHill area during yesterdays events
OK so flag thread... amongst the usual suspects of US flags, Gadsden (Don't Tread On Me) flags, TRUMP flags there were Thin Blue Line flags OK not surprising, but hang on what's that green tree on a white background flag...? Well... #CapitolInsurrection #CapitolRiots #CapitolHill
That is the Washington Cruisers flag, or the Appeal to Heaven flag used by the nascent US Navy during the Revolutionary War. Is the person flying it trying to say this is a revolution. #CapitolInsurrection #CapitolRiots #CapitolHill
OK what's next... well as @LalehKhalili observed, we have non-Islamic Republic, Iranian flags (there are many iterations) denoting resistance/moarchist affiliation...
