The political discourse in the EU and it's member States is turning public opinion into an unimaginable reality. How would you act if you saw someone drowning? Why don't you when you know thousands drown?
No more indifference. No more deaths at sea.

Achref, @SOSMedIntl rescuer, explains his feeling about the detention of #OceanViking: "It’s inacceptable to be detained for doing the right thing. For me this decree is inacceptable. I don’t know how long we will face again this fear of detention each time we rescue people." 1/2

Even poetry is criminalized. So write write verses that forge unanticipated openings and wavelengths beyond the conceits of the heartless and inscribe these imaginations in the souls and souks of the unknown.
The Palestinian Gazan essayist and poet, Mosab Abu Toha, was kidnapped by the Israeli army while fleeing to southern Gaza. Last month, he was in the USA on a tour. He has been recognized with several awards, including the Palestine Book Award 2022. He also received the Arrowsmith Press Award, was a finalist for the American Book Award 2022, and a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. Additionally, he received the Before Columbus American Award.

Another migration politics is possible! This is the message that solidarity cities from 7 different EU countries are conveying in Brussels today. From 10-11 October, we'll be debating with cities, Members of the EP and Commission for a common cause: #ReshapingMigrationBXL

Our #Seabird sighted, @MVLouiseMichel rescued, and all persons in distress survived. One civil fleet 💙
The Louise Michel completed a rescue of 19 people in distress from a fibreglass boat. Seabird informed our crew about the boat which had been adrift for several hours. Louise Michel is now on her way to the assigned port of #Pozzallo. #humanrightsforall

To eradicate #homelessness by 2030, our President underlines the importance of #EUfunds & how they should not be a temporary plaster on a society wound. Do we have the right infrastructure & how can cities & housing associations team up? @madsenbent #ISHF2023 @SolutionHousing

‘Housing is considered as an asset, a speculation, legitimised by the public administration & this is what we need to change. We must ensure the full accessibility to housing & the opportunity to contribute to society. The 1st thing is to change the paradigm.’ @AdaColau #ISHF2023

Per il centenario di Don Milani eviterei di usare questa sua frase perché ad oggi è tutto invertito: l'operaio spesso ha fatto tutto il ciclo di studi, magari anche laureato a differenza del Padrone di turno. Che spesso è solo figli degli stessi Padroni.
