#UPDATE 🚨 The @hindrajabfoundation.be (HRF) filed a disciplinary complaint against 🇩🇪 #Germany’s Federal Prosecutor for refusing to investigate a German citizen who openly admits to erasing civilian infrastructure and boasts about it. Full details → https://bit.ly/4daQyUY

I wrote about Bifo Berardi’s heinous new book "Thinking Gaza" for @defector.com Had to restrain myself from throwing this one across the room multiple times while reading. Not only deeply unserious as a work of theory, but also politically abhorrent. defector.com/franco-berar...

"The genocide taking place in all of historic Palestine reveals the foundation of violence and domination on which the architecture of the present world order has been built, as well as the terrible struggle that will be necessary to tear it down."

This is a lacerating criticism of Bifo Berardi's atrocious Gaza book (deservedly so) and ends with such a beautiful tribute to Palestinians: defector.com/franco-berar...

🚨 The @hindrajabfoundation filed a criminal complaint against an Israeli soldier in 🇵🇪 #Peru. The authorities have officially opened a criminal investigation. This landmark step further solidifies HRF's global work on universal jurisdiction. Intelligence placing him in #Lima and potentially #Cusco.

Franco Berardi’s ‘Thinking Gaza’ Fails To Think - defector.com/franco-berar...

The genocide in Gaza—which, more than any other disaster, reveals the contradictions at the core of the crisis—is the end of this world, but only in the sense that something else must and will come to replace it. Whether that something will be better or worse is up to us defector.com/franco-berar...

Seeing @mollycrabapple.bsky.social reply to yet another zionist spewing antisemitic rethoric reminds me that it's my time of the year to ask you all yet again to read this fantastic long piece by @jakeromm.bsky.social about that exactly why this happens. www.parapraxismagazine.com/articles/ele...

piece by @jakeromm.bsky.social

Quite lengthy but exceedingly powerful essay on Zionism as anti-Semitism by @jakeromm.bsky.social. (Incidentally, made me wonder if The Zone of Interest was *really* about Israel’s treatment of Palestinians.) www.parapraxismagazine.com/articles/ele...

this piece for the @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social about Luca Giordano's "St. Michael", representations of empire, aerial bombing, and Gaza. my favorite thing I wrote this year lareviewofbooks.org/article/agai...

A nice win: PEN America has retracted their statement pen.org/press-releas...

holy shit. extremely proud of Omar and his team for taking this stand. what a stain on HRW's reputation. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

This reminded me of @jakeromm.bsky.social’s analysis of Israeli hasbara as fascist propaganda in his essay “Elements of Antisemitism” in @parapraxismag.bsky.social www.parapraxismagazine.com/articles/ele...

Hello Romm-heads, here is a thread of some things I wrote and said this year:

It was an honor to be interviewed in-depth by @lalehkhalili.bsky.social @proteanmag.com A key theme: how to analyze “extractive frontiers” from a world-systemic perspective attentive to both the structures of colonialism and capitalism—and to socio-ecological struggle proteanmag.com/2025/12/22/e...

In this wide-ranging interview, Laleh Khalili (@lalehkhalili.bsky.social) speaks with Thea Riofrancos (@triofrancos.bsky.social) about her new book, "Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism"—on lithium mining, prospects for a just climate transition, and more. proteanmag.com/2025/12/22/e...
