Today a popular and beloved Italian cartoonist, Sergio Staino, passed. His insight and humanity are well summarised in this old cartoon about people fleeing from north Africa to Europe across the Mediterranean sea

+ Why do you go to sea if you know that maybe you'll die?"

- Because of the "maybe"

Today, April 25, in Italy we celebrate the liberation of our nation from the Nazi occupiers in 1945. On that day my city, Milan, joined the general insurrection that forced the German troops to retreat and effectively ended the fascist regime of the clown Mussolini.

Let's all celebrate with these lovely decorations the partisans put up just four days later in Piazzale Loreto, not far from where I live.

Long live the resistance, fuck fascists everywhere.
