They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.

They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Second-time getting by train from Barcelona to Denmark to reduce postdoc emissions. I enjoy it a lot. You see things slowly and with attention, you can make visits, and you can always work effortlessly. However, this is only an option if you can afford it. Making trains cheaper is urgent.

We used to own our essential services, like water, energy, and transport. Not anymore.

After Horrific Massacres in Sudan, Lawmakers Call for US to Stop Funding 'Arms Dealers' in UAE | Common Dreams "We must do everything in our power to stop this genocide, including cutting off all weapons sales to the United Arab Emirates," said Rep. Rashida Tlaib.

"Despite repeated assurances to Washington that it would not arm Sudan’s belligerents, the UAE has continued these transfers, as confirmed by the Biden administration in one of its last acts as well as by members of Congress.”

🚨 Israeli naval forces have illegally intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla.

Communications have been cut. The status of participants and crew remains unconfirmed.

This is an attack on unarmed humanitarians. We call on governments and int'l institutions to demand their immediate safety and release

All eyes on the @freedomflotilla.bsky.social which is faced by a potential naval blockade of 20 unidentified vessels just 3 nautical miles ahead of their fleet.

They write: "we will not be intimidated by threats, harassment, or efforts to protect Israel’s illegal siege on Gaza."

Thousands in a silent, peaceful protest against both the genocide in Gaza and the UK Government prescribing protest group Palestine Action as a terrorist group.

Police now making arrests.

Common Ecologies Autumn Gathering:
THE POLITICS OF AFFECTEDNESS

24-26 October, Barcelona

Please share widely! 🔥

Here's some info about themes and formats:

Can a politics of affectedness be the starting point of collective care, social struggles, and international solidarity? How do we build a collective capacity to act and the power to transform the world? What alliances, articulations, translations, and forms of attention do we need to seek?

After the Great Financial crisis we learned to ask: how do we built power in a crisis of social reproduction? Now we are in a planetary crisis of socio-ecological reproduction (planetary boundaries, spectres of fascism, technopetropatriarchal extractivist overdrive, genocide, and war).

We have seen the limitations of organizing merely from shared knowledge or opinion. Common struggle is rooted in collective care and interest. To notice these, we must see shared needs, not as some natural facts, but ways we are affected by social and ecological harm and injustice.

The compounded climate and ecological crisis is becoming more concrete every day.

Autumn Gathering '25: The Politics of Affectedness How to organize in a time of polycrisis? At this year’s Autumn Gathering, we’ll explore how strategies shaped around a "politics of affectedness" can guide us.
