One BIG problem though. Kazakhstan pavilion in Venice was supposed to have this work of Asel Kadyrkhanova on Stalinist repressions as one of the central pieces at the exhibit. The vice minister of culture of Kazakhstan came to “inspect” it the day before pre-opening & ordered to remove it

Horrifying. 1 in 10 Ukrainian children in Russia-occupied Ukraine has experienced sexual abuse. Russia is specifically targeting children with sexual violence. www.opendemocracy.net/en/ukraine-r...

And then the show proceeds to perpetuate a few lies. ESPECIALLY at the end, esp concerning mortality and morbidity numbers. PLEASE DON’T LET THIS SHOW BE THE ONLY THING YOU CONSUME ABOUT CHERNOBYL www.publicbooks.org/does-chernob...

Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil is confirmed to have been killed by the IDF. Al Akhbar, her outlet, as well as LBCI and Al Jadeed, have confirmed it. The IDF, the world’s leading killer of journalists, was blocking rescue operations.

Trump’s proposed 2027 budget would almost double the budget for plutonium pits, the chemical filled metal sphere inside a nuclear warhead that kicks off the explosion in a nuclear weapon. @evystadium.bsky.social has more. Story by @mjgault.bsky.social: www.404media.co/trump-2027-b...

Extreemrechtse relschoppers die van gemeente naar gemeente trekken om anti-azc-demonstraties aan te wakkeren, creëren het beeld dat verzet tegen asielopvang breed gedragen is. Maar draagvlak voor asielopvang is juist relatief groot. ‘Actieve groepen genereren disproportioneel veel media-aandacht.’

Antisemitism and Islamophobia are, for the lack of a better word, "intersectional" bigotries. Their conspiratorial structure allows for casting other stigmatized groups or enemies into antisemitic and/or Islamophobic narratives as pawns of the Jewish/Muslim masterminds.

Over 300 Marshallese were removed from their homeland, and U.S. govt carried out 67 nuclear tests on Enewetak and Bikini atolls in the Marshall Islands 1946 to 1958. Of 4,000 troops ordered to put nuclear debris into concrete containers, a few hundred are still alive. Now containers are leaking.

Israeli forces shot all four members of the Bani Odeh family in the head, including their 5yo and 7yo. The 7yo, Othman, was blind and had special needs. This comes a day after Israeli settlers shot 28yo Amir Moatasem Odeh and stabbed his father.

About 100 writers and four board members quit Adelaide Festival after it barred author Randa Abdel-Fattah.

this is the simple answer to people who keep saying NATO expansion matters. Sure, it matters because it presented an obstacle to Russian imperial ambitions. Putin didn't invade because he hated NATO expansion, he hated NATO expansion because he wanted to invade

Out today: a major new essay by former Artforum editor David Velasco, fired over a pro-Palestine open letter, surveying 2 years of turmoil in the art world, which was "practically designed to celebrate and aestheticize every rebellion" -- except Gaza. www.equator.org/articles/how...

Yes. Once you start seeing this (Institution X probably wanted do this conservative thing anyway but now can blame it on Trump), it's everywhere. It's not capitulation, it's agreement. "We can stop doing this thing we started doing from 2014-2020 because of woke/progressive/anti-racist pressure."
