Ideology matters more than facts

In the above message in French, he ironizes on a RightWing representant calling him a "hater" #Ciotti and his party friends talk publicly & repeatedly about the wedding of the #FarRight & the #Right in France (ZERO COMPARISON with #Portugal where the #rightwing seems to have #republic at heart)

Media coverage of net zero is more than twice as likely to be negative than public attitudes and is driving a false perception that net zero policies are unpopular with voters, according to an analysis that identifies rightwing media narratives as fuelling a false backlash against climate action.

The Guardian

"Discourse about #antisemitism in #America has become a hopeless, meaningless mess. Particularly in the last few years, pro-#Israel and #rightwing organizations and politicians have insisted that anti-#Zionism is a form of antisemitism, minimized the threat on the right while exaggerating the threat on the #left, used the charge of antisemitism to deflect legitimate criticism of #Israeli actions, and weaponized #Jewish fears in their #kulturkampf against higher education, the press, and #progressive activists of all kinds.

It is thus understandable that #progressives’ reflexive response to accusations of antisemitism is to dismiss them. But to do so would be a mistake. Antisemitism does exist on the left; ask any Jewish person active in progressive spaces. Moreover, the failure to condemn and root out real antisemitism enables #nationalists, #racists, and #fascists to defame and delegitimize progressive movements. It is also a betrayal of progressive values."

Why #GiorgiaMeloni's '#AntiProtest' law has divided #Italy

Italy’s new security law, pushed through by PM Giorgia Meloni’s #RightWing government, is stoking nationwide outrage. From harsher protest penalties and a ban on cannabis light to legal cover for police, critics warn it criminalises dissent and threatens #CivilLiberties. Protests, international concerns and Senate drama have all followed

"A new security decree introduced by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s right-wing coalition government has divided Italy.

"Approved by the Senate with 109 votes in favour, 69 against, and one abstention, the legislation has sparked a backlash from opposition lawmakers, human rights bodies and legal groups, who argue that it undermines fundamental freedoms and disproportionately punishes marginalised communities.

"The decree expands legal authority for law enforcement, imposes stricter penalties on demonstrators, and introduces a variety of criminal provisions touching on #protests, public order, #cannabis regulation, and social #housing.

"While the government insists the law is a necessary measure to safeguard security, critics see it as a repressive attempt to #CriminaliseDissent and curb civil liberties in one of Europe’s major democracies."
