In Turin, in the last days, we have been fighting against the closure of one of Italy's most important social centres, Askatasuna. Teargas and water cannons from the Police. An entire city militarised. I wrote a commentary in Italian for Effimera, here: effimera.org/askatasuna-e...

Next year, AbdouMaliq Simone and I will launch the new research program of the @InhabitationLab. In this post, we recall the work our collective did in the first years of the project. Subscribe to our newsletter to hear about our future activities. beyondinhabitation.org/beyond-inhab...

We express our deep concern about the situation of #Mohamed #Shahin, imam of the Omar Ibn al-Khattab mosque in Turin, currently detained following an expulsion order by the Ministry of the Interior. His offence? Speaking for Palestine. Sign our petition: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Today we are striking. Against the Italian government's war budget. For Palestine. For a non-militarised society. We are doing this today so that we can continue to do it, and continue to fight for it.

Today 5pm in Venice & tomorrow, 4pm in Turin/Naples/Padova. www.michelelancione.eu/blog/2025/11...

Tonight in Turin, Casa del Popolo Estella with Potere al Popolo and comrades to discuss #militarisation and tightened #security measures.

Goodbye, Spotify! Goodbye to your CEO's billion-pound investment in drones and the development of artificial intelligence systems for military use. Goodbye to your ICE's ads. For my listening and my HH music, everything else but Spotify. It's a simple, easy gesture. Necessary. #boycottspotify

Everyday, since 1947. Yesterday was Mohammad, 11 years old, killed by the IDF while playing football, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank. This is Israel in Palestine. Within and beyond Gaza, within and beyond "you cease", "I fire". Everyday, since 1947. english.wafa.ps/Pages/Detail...

Today I am in Modena at the International Investigative Journalism Festival. Together with Danilo Conte and Francesca Coin, we will talk about the fight against war in universities and workplaces. And then I'll listen to the stellar Francesca Albanese, who will speak shortly after us.

To boycott everything Israel is the only way forward. But the coloniality of Western inhabiting is responsible for all this. To fight that, we need to get closer to our own homes. For nothing stands in Gaza anymore, so that our rotten edifices can continue to stand. [Ebrahim Hajjaj/Reuters]

I had the pleasure of reading the manuscript of Beyond Sanctuary for @dukepress.bsky.social months ago, and I am now thrilled to see it in print. Edited by Ananya Roy and Veronika Zablotsky. Read it, share it, it is really worth it. Free access: read.dukeupress.edu/books/book/3...

The Polytechnic University where I work has missed another opportunity to do the right thing. On July 15, 2025, the Academic Senate voted by a majority against the Motion for Gaza presented by a group of senators. Full story & political statement: www.michelelancione.eu/blog/2025/07...

...with "great humanity, technical precision and attention to shield civilians." For the relentless, ferocious, total annihilation of the 🇵🇸 people, history and place.

The USA are now sanctioning Francesca Albanese calling her fundamental investigative and justice-based work as "warfare". The same people structurally foraging Israel's military industrial complex aka the Z!10n!st g3n0g1d@l machine. Stay strong, Francesca. You're not alone 🇵🇸

Yesterday at Valentino Park, in Turin. Three hours of public debate and grassroots education against the militarization of our society. With people of all ages and social backgrounds. Avanti!

In recent weeks, numerous cases have emerged of police officers infiltrating the structures of student-led political organisations in Italy. What the State Police have deployed against them is a textbook strategy of terror. Please support our petition: www.michelelancione.eu/blog/2025/07...

A must read @972mag Since May 27, well over 400 Palestinians have been killed and over 3,000 wounded while waiting for aid, according to Gaza Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basel." www.972mag.com/hunger-games...

What to expect from fascist regimes governed by resentment via the logistics of their military-academic-industrial-complex? Racist death as a tool of capital and patriarchal value-accumulation. Racist death on and on. Fuck them!
