What’s especially funny about this is they found him at home… in his office. Unlike the coward hiding in Germany.

Imagine what it costs to have the CIA surveil someone for decades, hacking anything with a camera, only to find him in the place absolutely everyone knew he would be?! Embarrassing.

Soutien à l’Iran agressé par l’axe colonial génocidaire !  | Indigènes de la République Ce matin, 10e jour du mois béni de Ramadan, le régime génocidaire sioniste et son protecteur américain ont ouvert un nouveau front contre l’Iran. Cela n’a étonné presque personne. Ces lâches ont dû at...

Aujourd’hui encore plus qu’hier, la fin de l’ordre occidental dure longtemps.

Mais aujourd’hui encore plus qu’hier, l’endurance des peuples, à commencer par le peuple Palestinien martyr, montre la seule voie vers la victoire, celle de la Résistance

The US-Israeli Epstein empire’s three favourite things to destroy: children, hospitals, historic sites.

We really REALLY need historians in the world because Keir Starmer is genuinely with a straight face trying “Iran have WMDs so we have to bomb them” as if we were not here to his his heroes do that in the 2000s. And there really genuinely do seem to be people whose memories do not stretch that far.

Ce matin, 10e jour du mois béni de Ramadan, le régime génocidaire sioniste et son protecteur américain ont ouvert un nouveau front contre l’Iran. Cela n’a étonné presque personne. Ces lâches ont dû attendre des mois, le temps d’acheminer les capacités militaires et logistiques nécessaires à soutenir un effort de guerre prolongé que la colonie israélienne est incapable de soutenir seule. Plus lâche encore, ils prétendent s’appuyer sur le sang du peuple iranien pour obtenir la reddition de son gouvernement, que ni les sanctions ni les bombardements n’ont pu parvenir à obtenir.

"Ce camp du génocide lancé à l’attaque de l’Iran, y compris ceux qui aujourd’hui appellent hypocritement à la "désescalade", sait qu’il est en train de mener sa lutte finale, car il est plus nu que jamais."

For “preemptive” read “unprovoked”, “heinous” or “illegal”.

May US imperialism and all of its little satellite genocidaires fall, and quickly.

Not to sound too much like an academic who writes about Islamism or anything but please PLEASE ask any of these Islamophobes making alarmist takes in the British press about the “Islamist takeover” or “Islamist infiltration” what an Islamist actually is. Please. I can’t wait to hear the answers. 😂

Ah yes because a Jewish gay man and a white woman plumber are the true Islamist threat in Britain 😂😂😂

Happy Gorton and Denton day to all who celebrate the fall of disgusting racists 🥳

Israel is trying to rewrite ancient history. In Palestine, Israel has systematically destroyed ancient heritage and made colonial land grabs of archaeological sites.

There are 33k views on this now, which means the Zionist attempt to rewrite history is backfiring: all UKLFI have achieved is the creation of an even bigger audience for anti-genocide scholars to talk about history 🤷🏼‍♀️

Layla Shahid Barrada : “Moi je viens à Vienne et je vois tout le passé antisémite de Vienne. Je lis toute la responsabilité de l’Europe de la fin du siècle dans la création du problème juif. Et je dis, quelle ironie, moi, palestinienne, venant du Moyen-Orient où je n’ai jamais connu de problèmes avec les communautés juives orientales, je viens ici, expliquer aux Autrichiens, essayer de me disculper, de justifier que je ne déteste pas les Juifs. Et le pays qui les a persécutés qui s’est tu pendant toute la période de l’Allemagne nazie, ce pays est mon accusateur, mon juge. Les rôles sont inversés.“ Source : L’ennemi déclaré, Jean Genet, pages 240-241 #ليلى_شهيد

British Museum row reveals the limits of decolonisation movements Erasure of 'Palestine' from display labels highlights a resurgence of the European penchant for rewriting history

When you go to a restaurant you are also not forced to eat the meal you paid for - you can bring your little robot to do that too. And when you go on holiday you don’t actually have to go anywhere or experience anything just pay the money then stay at home and send the robot. That’s real progress! 🤷🏼‍♀️

You know studying at degree level is not compulsory right? If you don’t want to study you can just not do higher education. You don’t need a little robot called Einstein to destroy the planet for you not to learn anything.

Friends! For the @openuniversity.bsky.social’s free learning platform I wrote a course: Exploring Ovid’s big ideas. It’s about Pacific Islander creation myth, monsters, Brazilian art, how stories change their meaning across time, British-Nigerian poetry, and of course… about Ovid. 💻🏺
