“From Charlotte, North Carolina, USA to Belém, Para, Brazil our oppression is interconnected, and so too is our liberation: Affected People of the world, unite” @berlinergazette.bsky.social @mab.org.br

In this essay for @berlinergazette.bsky.social, I argue that, in the current Gaza war, AI has been deliberately used as a weapon of mass destruction. Techno-solutionist approaches such as a "responsible AI" will not prevent the acceleration of the kill chain or the mass slaughter of civilians.

The #solidarity #clinics that emerged during the 2008-2015 #crisis protests in #Greece left behind experiences of direct #democracy and their transformative potential, as Dilan Köse argues in her contribution to the #DeepDemocracy series: berlinergazette.de/democratizat...

Experiences with #peace-building in the postwar city of #Mostar, #BosniaAndHerzegovina, provide cause for serious reflection on how economic inequalities between formerly hostile groups can lead to social divisions, as Vesna Bojičić-Dželilović argues berlinergazette.de/cities-after... #war

We are living in a world that is sliding into ‘ecosystem chaos,’ where capitalism can no longer calculate its own future and war has become the only governing algorithm. Raúl Sánchez Cedillo explores emancipatory politics: vimeo.com/1138500559 #Climate #War #Polycrisis #Peace #Movements #Workers

My piece for the @berlinergazette.bsky.social came out today. I reflect on how we make room for authoritarianism by depositing too much faith in liberal democracy and institutions that have failed us over and over again. I also continue my critique of national sovereignty and state competition.

Great to see this piece by @bamteixeira.bsky.social for the @berlinergazette.bsky.social that is in dialogue with the conceptual work I’ve been doing on ecological sovereignty. As someone who uses Barbara’s work in my own research, I love seeing these synergies.

The renewal and realization of democracy, or indeed its democratization, has many names. In 2026, we would like to organize the BG’s annual text series under the title #DeepDemocracy berlinergazette.de/deep-democra... #radicaldemocracy #economicdemocracy #grassrootsdemocracy #democracy #polycrisis

Rather than viewing transition as a technocratic roadmap, Sandro Mezzadra suggests considering it as an open horizon that offers an alternative to the apocalyptic tone that shapes much of today’s activism. vimeo.com/1138501802 #PluriverseOfPeace

In the #war that #Russia is waging in #Ukraine with the aim of wearing down its opponent, the destruction of the #infrastructure of human and more-than-human life – in short, the #environment – plays an important role. vimeo.com/1138498761 #PluriverseOfPeace

My text commissioned by @berlinergazette.bsky.social is talking about all these small stuf and ecology:

In #Ukraine bunkers and shells lodged in #trees serve as archives and witnesses to nearly 100 years of #violence. These remnants reflect the intensity of the fighting and the continuity of the landscape’s #memory: berlinergazette.de/is-war-a-pro... #PluriverseOfPeace

#LGBTQ* people and people with various #disabilities face similar political struggles for respect, visibility, and representation. They are also subjected to, or threatened by, far #right-wing violence, which has increased in recent years: berlinergazette.de/extreme-righ...

There is a #family #crisis. However, this crisis was not triggered by the ‘erosion of traditional identities’ or by the fight for equal rights for #LGBTQIA+ people and #migrants. Rather, it stems from a larger systemic crisis: berlinergazette.de/the-family-i...

That said, in UA regions occupied by russia they have water disaster, there's no clean water anywhere, the pipes are mostly empty, people wait for the water tanks to come but the water ist still bad. But there's a running fountain in the city center. Qirim (Krym, Crimea) it's a bit better.
