EQUATOR
Equator is a magazine of politics, culture and art.
I signed up for free for @equatormag.bsky.social when it launched but I have so consistently read & enjoyed the articles that show up in my inbox that I just started paying. Well-written and thoughtful and interesting pieces from around the world: www.equator.org

The genocide in Gaza has destroyed what remains of the illusion that the West should determine the future for the rest of the world. The United States and its satellites, having taken the centre stage of history to great fanfare after the fall of the Soviet Union, are now exiting in disgrace. A profound disorientation is the fate of the intellectual class that was created and sustained by the 'American Century. A legacy media whose authority to narrate the world depends on Western
assumptions of omniscience is now lost in a ruin of shattered concepts.
From the @equatormag.bsky.social mission statement and damn, was that ever proven 100% correct in short order.

Surrealism Against Fascism β’ EQUATOR
A century ago, artists who survived the trenches captured humanityβs capacity for destruction. What can they teach us about confronting the far-right in a new age of genocide?
"And what about all those books with checklists on how to spot your country sliding into fascism? Why did so many of the people who read themβand even some of the people who wrote themβfalter when a genocide was unfolding on their screens..." - @naomiaklein.bsky.social h/t @annfriedman.bsky.social

Surrealism Against Fascism β’ EQUATOR
A century ago, artists who survived the trenches captured humanityβs capacity for destruction. What can they teach us about confronting the far-right in a new age of genocide?
βThe Surrealists were willing to look into the abyss of so-called civilisation, admit to βpessimism all along the line,β and nonetheless wrench from that darkness a poetics of revolutionary change,β @naomiaklein.bsky.social writes www.equator.org/articles/sur...

@naomiaklein.bsky.social on how the Surrealists confronted the horrors of the First World War β and why their work speaks to us today: βEvisceration was as real and material for many of these young artists as their evident desire to burn it all down.β

Revolutionary ghosts are always helpful.
So I turned to the Surrealists for tips on fighting fascism.
Stay for the ending about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social surrealist campaigning...
Enjoy!

Farewell to Podemos β’ Articles β’ EQUATOR
My decision to quit politics at 31
So honored to join @equatormag.bsky.social , born as a response to the horror in Palestine and inspired by a need to bring back meaning and hope amid todayβs nihilism. πͺ I open with a personal piece about my last year in politics. Hope youβll find it worth reading.

"Equator is founded on our conviction that the storied titles of the Anglophone West cannot be internally reformed, nor redeemed by their periodic U-turns and belated mea culpas. The time has come to create something new."
Today we publish Equator's editorial declaration.

So far, recognition of Palestinian sovereignty has largely been limited to countries in Africa, South America and Asia that have historically been critical of Israel.
This is an amazing way of writing βmost of the worldβ

Former senior UN relief official Jan Eliasson has dismissed these air drops as an "ineffective sideshow". But of course, they're not aimed at stopping the genocide. Nothing Starmer does is aimed at stopping the genocide. Its aimed at managing the domestic politics of his complicity in the genocide.

"Who in the future is going to listen to a Jewish perspective on environmentalism or social justice when the bodies that espouse them did not speak up when thousands of people were being starved to death in the name of Jewish safety and security?"
