โ€˜Direct evidence of genocidal intentโ€™: the UN commission of inquiryโ€™s report on Israelโ€™s actions in Gaza Legal analysis has accused Israel of committing genocide in four out of five categories as defined by 1948 convention

Now that the UN Commission, chaired by a judge who headed the tribunal in Rwanda, has affirmed that Israel is perpetrating genocide on 4 different grounds, will we hear from those who dismissed, and in some cases denigrated, colleagues for raising the alarm? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Here is my paper that engages with the racial-spatial politics of conservation and colonial legacies of architectural discourse. I examine how architecture - past and present - is used by certain actors to commodify, exoticize and capture Rwandaโ€™s landscapes. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Finally got hold of Cities Under Siege (Documenta11, 2002). Our exhibit echoes Ibrahim Abdullahโ€™s essay on Freetownโ€™s segregated settlement patterns and the colonial logic behind Hill Stationโ€™s โ€˜climatic estate.โ€™

Hill Station โ€“ Display at Tate Liverpool + RIBA North | Tate

Project with @RIBA overlaps with Liverpool Biennial @Tate, theme of 'Bedrock'. The colonial housing project at Hill Station resonate with this theme through its geological impulseโ€”specifically rejecting the local terrain, deemed a breeding ground for malaria. www.tate.org.uk/visit/tate-l...

I have been quiet for a number of reasons, not just work. One is the side-project iniatied by my wife over at EHFM Radio. Today our second show airs at 3pm today and is dedicated to all the countries banned by T***P as well as to my friends and family in Iran. www.ehfm.live/residents/be...

ICE's tactic of capturing during annual 'check in' is long established. Have friend checked in with ICE in Portland in 2018 to be detained, spend a month in jail, in solitary confinement to be deported from JFK to Sierra Leone. He is citizenless and separated from his wife and daughter since.

I mean if this is not political censorship, what is it? That and the threats posed to students of expulsion from US Universities for protesting? I thought T***p bought back the age of free speech?
