"Que se llame violencia política a una protesta pacífica contra un genocidio, pero no a las redadas racistas o a la tortura policial, muestra como estamos ante una lucha por definir qué violencias cuentan y cuáles no."

Brilliantly said, and I’ll add the money we spend on visa applications and language courses.

It’s unbelievable how an MP can say this and suffer no consequences.

A large crowd marching behind a black banner that says STOP THE GENOCIDE. There a Palestinian flags in the crowd behind. They are marching past a street of white Georgian seafront houses in Brighton.

500 strong Palestine march today in Brighton.

A very small group of about 20 Zionists once again tried their tactic of marching just in front of the Palestine demo with huge Israel flags.

But this time we refused to move while they were there and stopped, blocking the street.

Falling Apart in 2024: Trying to build from ruins Empire has no new lyrics… And it is in its ruins that we must find the power to repair ourselves and the world

"to accept that the world is broken is an invitation to repair. Humanity stands here with history’s ghosts in the ongoing ruins of Euro-modernity. And it is in these ruins that we must find the power to repair... to build something new... from these ruins."

Yesterday, in protest of Harvard University's response to the genocide in Gaza and deepening repression of campus activism against it, I submitted a letter of resignation from my job there. Here is that letter.

Historians' council vetoes Gaza scholasticide condemnation American Historical Association convention-goers overwhelmingly passed the statement on Jan. 5, but the group’s top elected body has vetoed it without letting all AHA members vote.

AHA council vetoed resolution against scholasticide.

They oddly named HS teachers as 1 reason for veto ⬇️.

We work with teachers all over US who know you can't be an "unbiased historical actor." You're either for or against genocide. AHA council chose a side.

We ignore Sudan at our peril. This campaign of mass murder and rape will have global consequences | Nesrine Malik Almost two years into the war, Sudan is facing anarchy, famine, genocide – and ambivalence from the rest of the world Sudan’s war, which began in April 2023, is closing in on its second year. No one expects or becomes accustomed to war, but it is…

15 of the Most Destructive 20 Wildfires in California Have Occurred in the Past Decade The effects of the climate crisis appear to be making California wildfires more destructive.

If you've noted the massive failure to mention climate change in mainstream coverage about the LA fires, here is a piece that specifically discusses how climate change has exacerbated wildfires in California in the last decade. The current fires will likely go down as among the most destructive.

Dr Omolola Olarinde draws on conversations between 3 African women researchers unravelling complexities of insider-outsider status in global-North/South research.

My small 2025 request to academics: Stop misusing and overusing the word “decolonize”. It’s not a buzz word. It has meaning, and often academics say they’re “decolonizing” something but they really aren’t doing anything close to that.

Russia winds down gas supply to Europe via Ukraine as transit deal expires Exports to cease on New Year’s Day as Europe faces cold snap and higher than usual fall in reserves since September

By focusing only Gazprom, this article fails to note that Rosneft's profit for 2023 was $14.07 billion, a 47.2% increase from 2022 despite the war - because they now mainly sell to India and China. This ‘winding down’ hurts Europe way more than Russia.

A consensus is emerging: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Where is the action? | Nesrine Malik It may feel hopeless to see supportive states continue to back Israel, but bearing witness matters for future reckoning, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

“By refusing to accept the designations of genocide & ethnic cleansing, […]Israel’s allies force an adaptation on to the world after which it simply becomes accepted that rights are not bestowed by humanity, but by the parties who decide who is human”

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is becoming the mainstream, consensus position in the global humanitarian / human rights community. It should be recognised and treated as such. Not just in the general discourse, but by policymakers above all. They have a specific obligation to prevent genocide. Active facilitation is criminal

20 Contemporary African Novels as Pedagogical Material African fiction can teach us about African realities

Here, I recommend 20 African novels that we can incorporate into our teaching to ensure we produce learning environments that do not consign Africa and her peoples to the silence of ignorance and distorted narratives. Further suggestions are very welcome!!!

#Italy: Doctors Without Borders forced to end operation of #GeoBarents search & rescue ship due to Italian laws & policies.

They made it impossible to continue with the current operational model, they disregard the lives of people crossing the #Mediterranean.

Our ship saved over 12,600 lives.

Glad this is out now!

Israel has invaded Syria - with Western complicity This is a blatant land grab - and an attempt to hobble any new Syrian government - by an Israeli state cheered on by Western politicians and media.

Israel has invaded Syria.

The failure of the Western media to refer to an invasion is nothing other than disinformation.

A lie by omission is still a lie. You are being lied to.

Britain leads the world in cracking down on climate activism, study finds Research shows UK police arrest environmental and climate protesters at three times the average global rate

Britain is arresting 3X more environmental activists than the global average, while the majority of global north has ‘increased sentence lengths for non-violent protest’ and ‘given police new powers to stop protests during them and before they take place.’

Belgium found guilty of crimes against humanity in colonial Congo Court said five women were victims of ‘systematic kidnapping’ by state over forced removal from mothers as small children

Here is the link to the article from the Guardian: www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

Belgium found guilty of crimes against humanity in colonial Congo for separating mixed raced children from their mothers. A tiny sliver of justice that hopefully can opening up to more for the thousands that were stolen.
