“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

“What does it mean to not allow a single drop of fuel to reach a country?”..“It affects the transportation of food, food production, public transportation, the functioning of hospitals, institutions of all kinds, schools, economic production, tourism. How do our vital systems function without fuel?”

Forthcoming: Seven hitherto unpublished papers by István Hont in "Political Economy from Pufendorf to Marx: Culture, Needs, and Property Rights" (@universitypress.cambridge.org), ed. Lasse S.

Foto: Porträt Frantz Fanon, auf dem der Titel des Buches »Denker der Dekolonisation« steht. Darüber gesetzt steht die Unterzeile »Zur Aktualität von Frantz Fanon«.

Nach Fanon fußt Kapitalismus auf militärischer Unterwerfung, rassistischer Entmenschlichung und Ausplünderung der Kolonisierten. Diese Gewalt frisst sich in Körper, Psyche, soziale Beziehungen.

The cover of the book

A special issue that I edited on "Erased: A History of International Thought Without Men" (2025) by Patricia Owens has gone to production – I look forward to seeing the collection published @global-ih.bsky.social! It includes five review articles and a reply article by @whitproject.bsky.social

Oh look! Now it has a cover

After a Quarter-Century of Hosting Humans, the International Space Station Is Approaching Its End. What Comes Next? Humans have been in space onboard the ISS continuously for 25 years. As the station nears its end, new commercial habitats are lining up to take its place

The ISS will be deorbited in 2031, handing over space station operations to private companies.

How befitting for NASA to have paid SpaceX almost $1 billion to develop a vehicle that will strike the final death blow, dumping the ISS back into Earth.

[1] This study by Fabian Goldmann, presented in the Jacobin article below, analysed 4,853 German headlines on Gaza and Israel (Oct 7, 2023 – Jan 19, 2025). The sourcing imbalance is staggering — and has arguably contributed to distorting how the German public understands the war.
