How has a publication as essential to our times as @eurozine.bsky.social Got less than 1000 followers on a platform such as @bsky.app ?

Crises tend to correlate with intense literary activity, but not necessarily with intellectual perspicacity. Our picks of 2025 have clearsightedness in abundance – as do all the articles Eurozine has had the privilege to publish in the past year. www.eurozine.com/our-picks-of...

These are war crimes committed in our name.

I do appreciate that they've completely dropped the pretense.

We need to ensure our elected officials are acting on the best intelligence when it comes to tackling the climate crisis . It's why I'm opening the National Emergency Briefing on 27 November , ensure your MP is attending at nebriefing.org

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Protests and demonstrations are not a new phenomenon and were a common part of Victorian and earlier life. Bonfire night, because of its origins was often a focal point for protest with Guy Fawkes seen as a rebel with right on his side. Such was the case in Wakefield 1/2

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

It's always funny to read things like "anti-immigrant Czech-Japanese entrepreneur"

This is the fucking way

Don't worry guys, I have a genius plan to stop political violence. Step 1: Make elite consensus be that the mild peaceful disapproval be treated as equivalent to violence. Step 2: Have the government openly violate the law in a manner which proves it nonbinding. Step 3: Crash the economy.

Yesss

¡Olé, Javier Bardem! "I know my decision. I will never work with some companies now that are not condemning the genocide in Gaza. [...] "I know what I'm doing. I know what it can bring. It's OK. "ME not getting jobs is ABSOLUTELY IRRELEVANT compared to what's going on there! "It's that easy."

Et un rappel, toujours d’actualité.

How - after a 7hr Russia incursion launched from Belarus 300km into NATO territory - is this possible? He's a traitor!

It can be done! 🏴🚩

To spell some shit out unambiguously: fascism requires domestic abuse to propagate itself. Demands it. There is no way to humanely teach your children that might makes right. There is no way to gently love a spouse you think is your genetic intellectual inferior. These are inextricably linked.

#OtD 2 Sep 2015 the body of 3-year-old Alan Kurdi washed up on the Bodrum shore, Turkey. Fleeing war in Syria, he had drowned after the boat he and his family were sailing in capsized. Photos of his body sparked a rare but brief outpouring of sympathy stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9240...

‘With the proscription of Palestine Action, the question of what support for a terrorist group means has become urgent. Very few people in Britain supported al-Qaida; many more support the disabling of factories that supply arms for use in Gaza.’ David Renton: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Despicable

As several have pointed out, this also applies to the massive (100,000 or so) Trans Pride event. Almost entirely blanked.

#OtD 13 Aug 1977 anti-fascist South London residents staged running battles with police and National Front members to stop a fascist demonstration in what would come to be known as ‘the Battle of Lewisham’. This is a short history of the events: stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8458...

A show at The Met illuminates strategies that midcentury trans people employed to safely explore their identity — like the use of Polaroids to avoid sending film out to a lab. But seeing these methods and people portrayed as “discoveries” by the very society that cast them out is bittersweet.

This is right, along with 'Do not comply in advance'. It's here, so resist as much as you can.

People need to respond to this new reality, not the old one. It hasn't come from nowhere, but we can't pretend it's all the same.

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.” This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over. Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

I was commissioned a couple of years ago to write a piece on women and the miners strike. It was fascinating to research and interview these intelligent, strong, committed and still determined women. www.redladder.co.uk/uneasy-allie...
