Italy: Senegalese man hijacked a school bus w/51 inside & attempted to set it on fire. Teacher on board said suspect was angry about Italy's new hard-line policies against mass migration from the Med. Police able to smash windows & rescue the children. bbc.co.uk/news/world-eur…
Video footage of the attack where the Senegalese man attempted to set a bus full of kidnapped children on fire. Video is not graphic but you can hear the screams. I’m surprised that such a brazen hijacking in Italy is not getting wall-to-wall coverage.
Mugshot of Ousseynou Sy, the Senegalese man who attempted to kill 51 children in a hijacked school bus in Milan as revenge for Italy not allowing migrant boats from Africa to dock at its ports. The interior ministry is considering revoking Sy’s naturalized Italian citizenship.

I’m shocked that the conservative comedy @Deplorableshow came to Portland of all places. People are not happy about this here.
“Oregon Women for Trump” group. The woman on the left took off her jumper to show off her “Hispanic for Trump 2020” shirt.
Three young women sing a song about a border wall. This is the most un-Portland thing to have happened here in downtown.

Phew, I’m glad I don’t work with Clair Lemon, whoever that is.
The extent of my comments are linked above in this thread. I’m not sure how these two came up with this:

I had honor of meeting @JalehTavakoli last year. She’s an Iranian-Danish writer & critic of radical Islam who lives in hiding for her outspoken views. She & her husband have received notice that social services will remove their foster child of 8 years. Why? (1/2)
.@JalehTavakoli shared video of the Dane being killed by the jihadists in Morocco. She’s now facing charges for sharing it. Social services say her political activism makes her unfit to care for the child & will now revoke her foster parenting rights (2/2) berlingske.dk/samfund/forfat…
To set the context: The media had reported early on that the female tourists in Morocco had been found with “neck wounds.” The truth is that they were beheaded, which the video shows happening to one of the women. This is the video that Jaleh shared & is being punished for.

THREAD: We've been looking at populism in Europe over the past few months. If you've missed any of our reports you can see them here. Let's start with this one examining if Switzerland is the birthplace of populism bbc.in/2Olt5Hm

@ggatehouse | @maya_rstw | #newsnight
@ggatehouse @maya_rstw Sweden is usually recognised as being innovative, transparent and progressive, with good healthcare, welfare and gender equality.

More recently, however, a growing chorus of Sweden sceptics have emerged bit.ly/2xWHxve #newsnight
@ggatehouse @maya_rstw Earlier this month we travelled to Cottbus in Germany where the nationalist AfD party are leading in the polls bit.ly/2zC87f5

Daisy Osakue, a young talented Italian athlete, (👇🏻) was the case today in #Italy. There is a long recent list of allegedly racially-motivated attacks. Was Daisy attacked because she is black? Is #Italy racist? Or is #Italy becoming more racist, given the new government? THREAD
First of all, I must say that I will try to handle this thorny subject as much sensitive and deep as possible, trying to avoid easy and superficial simplifications, despite it is not simple given the Twitter shortness. But I will try to do my best.
#Italy
#racism
1. There is a very common saying in #Italy: “Italiani brava gente”, which means “Italians are good people”. This motto spread easily after the Second World War. It was mainly a way for Italians to subtly distance themselves from the German Nazis, former allies. But is this true?

How #Italy has plunged into the maybe worst political crisis of its recent history and why this man below, one of the most xenophobic & eurosceptic leaders, Matteo Salvini, is the real winner so far and might become the game changer of Italian politics in the future. THREAD 🇮🇹
1. Let's start from the second point. Why a far right leader like Salvini, who distinguished himself in the past for his rash and violent attacks against migrants and Europe, is supposed to gain more votes and getting more and more decisive in the next months? Let's see.
#Italy
2. First reason of all: the worldwide populist Zeitgeist. Ok, but there are many more specific reasons related to Italy and what happened in the last few months. In a few words, Salvini has won all his political bets, so far. And he is getting more and more influential.

Hello all, as this can be a crucial day for the new (populist) #Italy government I am now going to tweet a short thread on it, focusing especially on the (almost ready) M5S-LEGA agenda. At least 70 billions of additional debt are expected. How will Europe react? THREAD 🇮🇹
1. As I have been personally saying since the first election results (see here ) and despite a broad general skepticism on it in #Italy, a LEGA-M5S government was the only possible, given the circumstances after the vote. So, now we are very close to it.
2. Five Stars Movement (M5S) leader Di Maio and LEGA leader Salvini have been negotiating for days on a coalition contract (like in Germany). There have reportedly agreed on many points (we'll see later). But the big hurdle is: who is going to be the new Prime Minister?
