Ghada Hatem-Gantzer built a center that centralized social, legal and medical assistance for women in one building. It was a labor of love that almost failed, but the project has become a revolutionary template in France for treating female victims of violence. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/w...

Interested in different cultures, languages and societies? The good news is you no longer have to be complicit in Western hegemonic knowledge production. The bad news is you’re now unemployed

Extrait de la proposition de budget visant à supprimer les APL pour les étudiants extra européens
Vous avez vu ça l’#ESR ???
Dans le budget que Lecornu compte défendre on trouve la suppression des APL pour les étudiants étrangers extra-européens !
Cela signifie une perte de 100 à 150€ pour 300 000 étudiants qui pour la très grande majorité sont déjà dans une situation de précarité. (T.Portes)

Elizabeth Tsurkov, for me, is an example of a rare Jewish Israeli who decided to embrace the Middle East as her home, immersed itself in Arabic language and culture, struggled and put herself at risk for justice and liberty for people in Palestine, Syria and Iraq. She's a model of how things can be.

Tuerie de masse dans une école catholique du Minnesota: oui, la tireuse avait de nombreuses références nazies sur son arme. Mais est-ce un acte terroriste d'extrême droite? C'est un peu plus compliqué et pour ça il faut parler de la mouvance NVE (nihilistic violent extremism). 1/

The laborers were hired by Goumina's company, which in turn worked for the grape producer, who himself sells his production to agricultural cooperatives who then supply Champagne houses. In this case, the grape notably ended up in Moët & Chandon (LVMH) champagne.

The article points out how the complexification of the labor and supply chain for Champagne makes it difficult to hold the big houses at the end of the chain accountable in these modern slavery cases.

They were housed in inhuman conditions and had two minders, who also got a jail sentence. Less than 1 sq.m per person, no running water, no electricity, no toilet, very little food, 10-hour workdays. Most of them were never paid.

Grape producers usually outsource the hiring of seasonal laborers to independent companies, like that owned by Goumina. The 47 men were recruited in and around Paris and transported to the outskirts of Épernay (Marne) in a bus.. for which they had to pay the ticket.

PS : i also didn't know what a "dromocracy" was before. The concept was coined in the 70s by french architect Paul Virilio and refers to societies governed by speed and the pursuit of speed (in greek: dromos - race). Even more jargonny : it is a pouvoir/mouvoir

In the end, this #PaxLogistica shows how logistics work with authoritarianism to pursue dromocratic ideals that are also geopolitical goals. Local pursuits of war, 'peace', national construction and territorial control are woven into global scripts of 'connectivity', 'development' and the like.

But the #Zangezur corridor is also the reimagination of a decades-old Soviet highway project vital to the Az SSR that never came to be because of Armenian opposition, but prefigured the 'Goble plan' proposed land swap in the 1990s - which in turned traumatized everyone.
