Picaretas no comando

Um dos momentos em que Arthur Lira foi mais aplaudido pelos empresários presentes ao jantar promovido pela Esfera anteontem em São Paulo foi quando disse que "tudo o que a Câmara aprovou das pautas econômicas no governo Bolsonaro seria mantido, nada será revogado".

Fora com os 100 picaretas!

O Globo 27-10-2023
https://oglobo.globo.com/politica/noticia/2023/10/27/lula-justifica-acordo-com-pp-e-republicanos-partidos-do-centrao-eu-precisava-desses-votos.ghtml


Que o governo Lula seria refém dos “100 picaretas” do Centrão não é surpresa para ninguém. Do ponto de vista da estratégia lulista para o Brasil - que se deve discutir, evidentemente - trata-se de um custo inevitável.

O que espanta é que parlamentares, deputados e senadores, eleitos pelo PT, PSOL, Rede ou qualquer outro partido, que não têm cargos no governo nem dele dependem para exercer seus mandatos, deixem de cumprir sua obrigação elementar de denunciar em alto e bom som, e em caráter permanente, a venalidade visceral de Lira e sua tropa de chantagistas e a inutilidade, para dizer o mínimo, para a nação brasileira, de um Congresso Nacional controlado por essa gente.

Lula e seu ministério cortejá-los por achar que, como Poder Executivo, não têm alternativa, já é o bastante. Deputados e senadores autointitulados progressistas se deixarem paralisar pela cultura dos cambalachos parlamentares e dos currais eleitorais é uma vergonha. E uma tragédia.

Avebarna Domingo: O capital no século XXI

Project Syndicate 28-06-2021, por Yanis Varoufakis
https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/techno-feudalism-replacing-market-capitalism-by-yanis-varoufakis-2021-06

The claim that capitalism is being toppled by a new economic model comes on the heels of many premature forecasts of capitalism’s demise, especially from the left. But this time it may well be true, and the signs that it is have been visible for a while. 

Montagem: Avebarna

Varoufakis, que tem o meu respeito, parece confundir a viçosa flora parasitária do capitalismo putrescente de nossa época com o seu fim. Eu só enxergo dois cenários para a sua extinção: instituirmos, à vera e enquanto há tempo, a função social da propriedade - em geral, não apenas imobiliária/urbana - à escala planetária ou aguardarmos, mais ou menos resignada e confortavelmente segundo as possibilidades de cada um, o apocalipse sócio-ambiental.

O Rio Mar vai virar sertão?

NYTimes 17-10-2023

The planet’s biggest freshwater tank is in trouble. The Amazon rainforest, where a fifth of the world’s freshwater flows, is reeling from a powerful drought that shows no sign of abating. Likely made worse by global warming and deforestation, the drought has fueled large wildfires that have made the air hazardous for millions of people, including Indigenous communities, while also drying out major rivers at a record pace. One major river reached its lowest level ever documented on Monday, while others are nearing records, suffocating endangered pink dolphins, shutting down a major hydropower plant and isolating tens of thousands living in remote communities who can only travel by boat.

The Rio Negro, a tributary of the Amazon River, reached its lowest level ever recorded this week.

Led by progressive Jewish activists for Palestinian rights, dozens of demonstrators rallied outside Vice President Kamala Harris’ Los Angeles home Thursday morning calling for an immediate cease-fire as Israel continues its bombardment of the Gaza Strip in the days since the attacks by Hamas militants.

Around 7:20 a.m., about 50 people pulled up in cars outside Harris’ home in the quiet Westside enclave of Brentwood and walked to the front gate holding signs that read “Jewish ceasefire now” and “No war crimes in our name.” Some organizers wore neon green transit vests to make sure traffic was not blocked on the two-way street.

The Israel-Hamas war has spilled onto the streets of the US and Europe in the form of protests. Pro-Palestinian demonstrations are being held in several countries across the world, seeking an end to the Israel-Hamas war that broke out on October 7 after terror attacks in Israel. The protesters have been demanding an end to the violence in Gaza, resulting from Israeli counterattacks, and expressed solidarity with the Palestinian people.

About 100,000 people joined a pro-Palestinian demonstration in central London on Saturday, marching through the British capital to demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza following the Hamas attack on Israel two weeks ago. Chanting "Free Palestine", holding banners and waving Palestinian flags, the protesters moved through London before massing at Downing Street, the official residence and office of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Police estimated 100,000 people had taken part in the "National March for Palestine" demonstration, organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. (..)

Palestina democrática, laica e multiétnica!

The Guardian 22-10-2023, por Maria Rashed
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/oct/22/palestinian-citizen-israel-without-supporting-hamas

Let’s be clear: one can support Palestinians’ right to resist and end the occupation without supporting Hamas


One thing that unites Palestinians is that our journey is never easy or smooth. To be a Palestinian citizen in Israel is exceptionally challenging – especially at the moment, when people expect you to take a clear, one-sided stance. I am forced to constantly question where I truly belong, feeling nowhere and everywhere simultaneously.

I was born and raised in Nazareth in a Christian family. Later, I moved to Tel Aviv, living in a diverse community with Arabs and Jews. Although I was born in Israel, I struggle to identify fully with a country that views me as a second-class citizen, publicly speaks against Arabs, oppresses Palestinians – and the list goes on.

I do not condone violence in the name of religion. I cannot endorse or identify with Hama’a attack on innocent civilians on 7 October. Despite being a proud Palestinian who supports oppressed communities and actively speaks out against Israeli occupation and colonialism, this attack on Israeli civilians does not align with my beliefs – I condemn killing civilians and deeply mourn the loss of lives among Palestinians and Israelis.

Taking a stand as a Palestinian may seem complicated, but Hamas doesn’t speak for me. Hamas fails to represent Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, and around the world. 

(..)

Ultimately, the people pay the price from all sides. With rising global support for Israel, I fear for innocent Palestinians. Those in power are to blame. Now is the time for people to unite against oppressive governments. Palestine should be freed not only from the oppressive Israeli regime but also from the influence of Hamas, and its conservative, chauvinistic ideology.

Centenares de judíos detenidos en una protesta en el Capitolio que pedía el alto al fuego de Israel.


Una protesta dentro y fuera del Capitolio de Estados Unidos reclamó este miércoles a 
la Administración de Joe Biden y al Congreso abogar por el alto el fuego en Gaza y dejar de financiar el "genocidio" israelí en Palestina, según apuntaban algunos de sus carteles. La protesta fue convocada por las organizaciones progresistas If not now y Jewish voice for Peace, integradas por judíos estadounidenses movilizados en contra de la ocupación israelí de Cisjordania y la franja de Gaza, que estuvieron detrás de otra manifestación similar celebrada el lunes ante la Casa Blanca.
