#Italy is negotiating to sell two FREMM frigates to #Egypt for around €1.2 billion ($1.3 billion). News of the deal drew criticism in Italy from politicians who have been concerned over human rights abuses in Egypt. defensenews.com/global/europe/… #FreePatrickZaki
The #Egyptian public prosecutor's office is pursuing a criminal investigation into Patrick Zaki, an Egyptian researcher studying in Italy on charges of spreading fake news nytimes.com/reuters/2020/0… #FreePatrickZaki
Zaki was arrested Feb. 7 when he arrived at #Cairo airport on a visit to see his family. A lawyer for @EIPR where Zaki is also a researcher has said that Zaki denied all charges and that his client had mostly been questioned about his human rights work when he was living in Egypt

You know that stage of writing otherwise known as rearranging your desk aka the dining table so that everything is in place - pens, notebooks, poetry for inspiration - and all that’s now left to do is to actually write so you make tea and find a book to read instead?
Clearly, I am thriving!
So, naturally: I’m flushing out my fountain pens and lining up the ink pots and refilling the pens because, you know, I’m writing!

cw: femicide

A week after the femicide of Ingrid Escamilla, 7-year-old Fátima was abducted and murdered in Mexico City; her body was found inside a plastic bag days later
eluniversal.com.mx/english/fatima… via @El_Universal_Mx
Relatives of the murdered girl said on Monday the government had failed to protect her despite their pleas, while President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador appeared to blame the crime on neo-liberal economics.

Feminist groups in #Mexico protested Friday against the murder of 25-year-old Ingrid Escamilla and the country's high level of #femicides, rallying outside the headquarters of several newspapers’ who published photos of Escamilla's mutilated corpse

.3/ The decision to assassinate both these commanders, is a clear #American message to escalate in Iraq & to draw #Iran into a military conflict.

El 27 diciembre 1974 #Queen aparece en el programa Top of the Pops para presentar el tema "Killer Queen". Voy a desvelar uno de los mayores secretos de Freddie Mercury. ¿Quién es la Reina Asesina y por qué la canción se titula así? A secret is something you tell one other person!
La mayoría piensa q "Killer Queen" trata sobre una mujer de clase alta q se dedica a la prostitución. Esta creencia procede q fue el mismísimo Freddie Mercury quien lo dijo. Pero no es así. Freddie nunca quería q nadie supiera el trasfondo de sus letras, su verdadero significado.
Hay tres historias o teorías predominantes detrás del significado de esta canción. La más aceptada o arraigada x los fans es la q dijo Freddie Mercury. Otros creen q trata sobre la propia banda y la 3ª q habla sobre drogas y la homosexualidad del cantante. Ninguna es la correcta.

Reading this much-recommended book now. It's about an American scholar's notes of his conversations with five judges of Indian Supreme Court. Looks exciting, will post interesting info in this thread.
Beginning with the blurb. This book's author has fashioned George H. Gadbois Jr's personal notes into a book. This man, the blurb says, was a young American scholar of the time. He met five judges of the Supreme Court.
They gave him vivid details of what they thought of their colleagues, the inner working and politics of the court, their interaction with the government and judicial appointments process.

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
