Uncanny.

Bye forever, WeTransfer.

A sitting U.S. Congressman is demanding the deportation of a U.S. citizen because he doesn’t like a democratic election result.

Take one minute: go to bit.ly/IsraelOnNotice and send a letter to the Israeli government, UN officials, and diplomatic missions demanding that Israel abide by international law and refrain from attacking, sabotaging or otherwise interfering with the #Madleen and her mission.

SOS! the volunteers on 'Madleen' have been kidnapped by Israeli forces. Rima Hassan is a French citizen. Pressure the foreign ministries and help us keep them safe! E: [email protected] & [email protected] X : @FranceDiplo_EN & @francediplo & @jnbarot ...2/

"Today I think of myself [...] as a historian of small things—fragments of conversations, whispers in corridors, haunting lines of lost poems, broken shards of history that do not fit the pot we carry about in our heads [...]." quote from a wonderful book: Paul E. Dutton, Micro Middle Ages, 2023

This Eid, our hearts are with the Palestinians of Gaza. You deserve life, justice, peace, and the right to celebrate Eid without mourning. #EidMubarak #FreedomForGaza #Madleen #Solidarity #Palestine #EndTheOccupation #JusticeForGaza

‘When authoritarians promise a return to an imaginary past, they stoke a furious nostalgia in those who have no better way to understand what is actually undermining their sense of a durable and meaningful future.’ Judith Butler on Executive Order 14168: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

"Misunderstanding of the present is the inevitable consequence of ignorance of the past. But a man may wear himself out just as fruitlessly in seeking to understand the past, if he is totally ignorant of the present." Marc Bloch (1886-1944), The Historian's Craft, 1949

Elon Musk veut étendre le trumpisme en Europe avec ce nouveau slogan « Make Europe Great Again », et ça a déjà commencé avec ses interférences dans les élections allemandes. Il va falloir s’organiser pour résister collectivement face à ça, et vite.

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

Cela pourrait presque être le scénario d’une série de science-fiction. Donald Trump est de retour avec Elon Musk et toute une clique de milliardaires. Une broligarchie à l'assaut de l'"État profond" et de la démocratie. Ma vidéo @blast-info.fr pour analyser ce moment de bascule youtu.be/ce1-63wUlc0
