The image depicts a woman seated on a cream-colored, ornate sofa with floral-patterned cushions. She is wearing a dark green, long-sleeved dress with intricate gold embroidery and a square neckline. The dress is complemented by a gold necklace with a star pendant and matching earrings. Her hair is long, wavy, and brown, adorned with a green headband featuring a pearl-like embellishment. She holds a golden object, possibly a decorative item, in her right hand. The background includes a dark green wall with framed portraits, adding to the historical ambiance. The woman's expression is serious, and she is looking directly at the viewer. The overall setting suggests a historical or fantasy theme.

Presentazione del primo volume del MANUALE DI STORIA CONTEMPORANEA curato dalla Scuola di Base A.S. Makarenko e pubblicato dalle Edizioni Rapporti Sociali
Domenica 25 maggio, dalle 10:30, presso Casa della sinistra, Via Nicola Antonio Porpora, 45, 20131 Milano MI
‼️ La lotta di classe è il motore della storia!*
Presentiamo il primo volume del MANUALE DI STORIA CONTEMPORANEA
curato dalla Scuola di Base A.S. Makarenko e pubblicato dalle Edizioni Rapporti Sociali
Ti aspettiamo
🗓️ Domenica 25 maggio 🕒 alle 10.30 🏡 presso la Casa della Sinistra di Zona 3| Via Porpora 45 Milano
📌 Un manuale che spiega i fatti e non si limita a elencarli con pedante nozionismo.
Un progetto per (ri)leggere la storia dal punto di vista della classe operaia e delle masse popolari.
Uno strumento per appassionare docenti, studenti, lavoratori in cui vive l'aspirazione a una società senza più sfruttamento.
🚩 Ripercorreremo i passi principali che hanno portato alla Comune di Parigi, le sue principali conquiste e i motivi che hanno portato alla sua violenta dissoluzione, per trarne insegnamenti utili per sviluppare oggi in Italia quel nuovo assalto al cielo, con cui classe operaia e masse popolari possono farla finita con il dominio dei padroni sul mondo, lo sfruttamento, la guerra, il saccheggio delle risorse e l'abbrutimento morale e materiale.
🥙 Alle 13.00 ci sarà un pranzo popolare a 15€ per raccogliere fondi per sostenere il progetto editoriale e la pubblicazione del secondo volume del manuale di storia contemporanea

Syria's Shift Away From Iran Sparks Media Backlash After Trump Meets With Ahmed al-Sharaa
US President Donald Trump's historic meeting with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, on May 14 has not gone over well with the hard-line media in Iran.Kian Sharifi (RFE/RL)
The UK’s Middle East minister dismissed concerns that a genocide was unfolding in Gaza as “obnoxious and hideous” during a fraught meeting with humanitarian organisations last year, it has been revealed.
The minister, Andrew Mitchell, is said to have been on his phone for most of the session.
Professor Nick Maynard, said he had brought laminated photos of injured children to try to get his point across, but to no avail.
Extremely alarming! Important to know what is happening at the federal level regarding AI regulation.
