I think it’s important to remember fascism does not only win because of how people vote in a single election. Or even two. That is not the first and only cause. And if your institutions were resistant to fascism it would not succeed in consolidating power within a few months.

I had shared my article about the effects of dismissals of critical academics in Turkey, thinking that it may be interesting to read it in light of what is happening in the US. Here is the accepted manuscript for people who don't have institutional access: drive.google.com/file/d/1oiTk...

In Turkish: “Özgür Filistin”, where it’s an adjective. We also have the phrase “Filistin’e özgürlük”, which means “Freedom for Palestine”. If you want to use “Free Palestine” to convey the verb meaning as it does in English, you would say “Filistin’i özgür bırak”, but this is not very common.
