“Non posso, non voglio tacere”. Le parole di Liliana #Segre in aula al Senato sulla riforma del premierato tanto cara a Giorgia #Meloni sono pesanti come pietre: “Questa riforma produrrebbe un drastico declassamento del ruolo del Capo dello Stato. E non tutto può essere sacrificato in nome dello slogan ‘scegliete voi il capo del governo!’ Anche le tribù della preistoria avevano un capo, ma solo le democrazie costituzionali hanno separazione dei poteri, controlli e bilanciamenti, cioè gli argini per evitare di ricadere in quelle autocrazie contro le quali tutte le Costituzioni sono nate". Parole che tutte noi democratiche e democratici dovremmo incorniciare. Grazie, Senatrice: Lei è un esempio, ogni giorno di più!

La strigliata di #Mattarella a Piantedosi ci dimostra che i poteri del capo dello stato non vanno modificati come vorrebbe invece la presidente #Meloni. con il premierato. W la Costituzione! W l' Italia antifascista che non usa manganelli contro adolescenti

Some of the worst crimes in history were committed in the name of fictional stories that people believed. Very few wars are about objective material things: it’s when people can’t agree on the story that conflict arises. How can we create good common stories that benefit people and prevent bad stories that cause huge misery? First, we need to understand that humans like us created the stories – so we can also change them.

Mass identities are based on fictional stories, not on scientific facts. Nowadays, much of the division of humans into massive groups still depends on religious myths. So in the 21st century religions don’t bring rain, they don’t cure illnesses, they don’t build bombs – but they do get to determine who are ‘us’ and who are ‘them’, who should we cure and who should we bomb. Most religions have a lot in common, but they are too often weaponized to generate division and conflict. #quote #identity #quotes #coexistence #religion #21lessons

#Meloni che attacca #Draghi è delirio di onnipotenza,mancanza di vergogna, perdita del senso della decenza,cecità.Un segnale di allarme per l’Italia e gli italiani,ma non tutti hanno la memoria corta come lei spera. #GrazieDraghi x impegno a favore del suo paese e dell’Europa!

È morta Marisa Rodano, la partigiana che scelse la mimosa come simbolo dell'otto marzo. Centodue anni, un lungo percorso in favore dell'emancipazione femminile. Sul voto alle donne diceva: "Ricordate che i diritti di oggi non sono sempre esistiti"

Every peace treaty in history has been based on compromise. Justice is essential, but the pursuit of absolute justice can lead you to perpetuating conflict indefinitely, never reaching peace. If you need to choose between justice and peace – choose peace. More on this idea here>> bit.ly/YNH-ChoosePeace #quote #peace #justice #choice

@KarenS_Carter Moms are always right 😉!!

My Mom gave me this for my bday a few days ago. It’s one of the last things she has from my Dad. A trophy he won in a talent contest when he was in the Air Force. She says to me “you are talented like your Dad”. I say to her “like you too Mom…like you too”. #Priceless #ThxMom

The best cure for loneliness is not more frequent interaction. It's more meaningful interaction. Many people enjoy solitude. They can spend up to ~75% of their time alone without feeling isolated. What matters most for well-being is the quality of connections, not the quantity.

Per chi non l’avesse ancora capito: al di là delle lacrime di coccodrillo, ecco i frutti di una diffusa cultura patriarcale.

@GassmanGassmann Vergogna!

How can we break free from the curse of history and embrace a peaceful future? Fixating on the past can prevent us from embracing the future. We cannot go back to the past to correct the wrongs that have happened - it’s impossible. But forging a path to future peace is possible. 80 years ago, Jews were massacred in their millions by the Nazis, but today Jews and Germans are good friends. If they can reconcile, then all wounds can heal. The key is to seek healing, instead of using the past as an excuse to incite more violence and conflict.

50 years ago today, on September 20, 1973, @BillieJeanKing defeated Bobby Riggs in the Battle of the Sexes, a tennis match watched by 90 million people worldwide. The impact of her victory not only permeated the sports world, but also advanced women’s rights and equality everywhere. Today, women tennis players are the highest paid of any sport and the effects of Billie Jean's win continue. The work is not done, but today we celebrate greatness. She won, we won. Thank you, Billie Jean. And today, viewers can watch our conversation about this historic anniversary - 1:45pm ET on @cnni and tonight on @PBS. 📷: @GettySport #BOTS50

Another #EqualPayDay . How many more shall we ‘celebrate’ until we will reach equal pay?

What can we do as European chemical industry to accelerate the pace to close #Gendergap ? Let’s discuss together @fontanaviva @EY and 150 participants in Vienna next week.

In the 90s, women were less likely to negotiate their salaries than men. Today, they're more likely to ask... but still get fewer raises. The solution is not to encourage women to advocate for themselves. It’s to change the stereotypes and systems that are biased against them.

Spain’s election. Irony of extreme right policies is they are also bad for business, innovation & long term growth. Of course bad for climate, equity & justice. Need more business ‘leaders’ speaking up, esp those who talk ‘purpose’ and stakeholder value. elpais.com/economia/2023-…

Leadership is not about pulling people to follow your path. It's about shining enough light for them to find their own route. Bosses aim to wield power. They issue commands to maintain control. Leaders strive to empower. They delegate authority to unleash potential.
