This is in our Portabello Road appartment in 2019.

This time in Saint Vincent, we're working on implementing practical solutions! The spirulina cultivation project is part of The Survival Kit Collection, which brings together low-tech strategies for autonomous living — from water collection to off-grid energy.

Much like with Scientologists, when a Neo-Liberal tells you something, its never a good idea to believe it at face value.

drawing in my sketchbook of one of the multiple protesters arrested at the Brooklyn navy yard this morning for standing in solidarity with Palestine and against genocide. Two manufacturers that produce for the IDF are located at the yard, activists formed a blockade in protest. Pen & ink on paper.

We support Miriam Margolyes. We condemn the call from the Campaign Against Antisemitism for her to be stripped of her OBE and Bafta. Speaking out against Israel’s genocide in Gaza is not “anti-Jewish venom”.

Happy that my novella, The Very Beautiful, was shortlisted for the Letter Review Prize. Congratulations to the winners, Liv Hambrett and Jasmine Laws, and to the other shortlistees. letterreview.com/the-letter-r...

Probably, this is an important news: China and the United States have agreed to transfer management rights over TikTok, effectively dividing spheres of influence. This strengthens control over the population and could become a key factor in winning the next U.S. elections. youtu.be/HZlHDKHX7Kk?...

Elites have common interests that lead them to develop strong class concepts that consolidate their hegemony. But they change ideologies to strengthen their dominance. We are witnessing the dismantling of the welfare state and the return of war-mongering policies.

A workshop will take place in Amsterdam in 2026, and meanwhile, a Visual Assembly is being prepared in Vienna during a wonderful event in Vienna in October 2026. @davidgraeberinst.bsky.social , A4kids.org uttaisop.at/tagung-trans...

America hasn’t seen such polarization since the Civil War. But unlike then, today’s liberals and the far right differ only in décor — as shown by tech oligarchs who quickly switched sides when power changed hands.

Charlie Kirk: “Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.” Any questions?

“.. I can’t remember anyone ever telling me we can’t say anything critical about a civilian like this. He was not in our chain of command or anything,” the officer said. @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Right-wing activists are targeting teachers, workers for critical remarks on Charlie Kirk’s death.

Next week! Please, join us! Rowley Way, NW8 0SF, London, UK

"Most of our state institutions have been either destroyed or are nonfunctional,” says Pranaya Rana, a writer and journalist based in Kathmandu.

Housing asylum seekers in military barracks could cause significant damage, explains Freedom from Torture's Ann Saltar.

Brazil's Supreme Court has sentenced former President Jair Bolsonaro to more than 27 years in prison for plotting a military coup following his election defeat in 2022.

‘Whatever Graeber is writing about, whether it is the history of democracy or the relationship between slavery and debt, he is usually trying to solve a problem in the present or to expose its latent potential.’ @leninology.bsky.social on David Graeber: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

On the podcast: @leninology.bsky.social joins @moonjets.bsky.social to survey David Graeber’s work, ranging from the theories of power Graeber developed from his early field research to the daring arguments of his co-written posthumous work ‘Dawn of Everything’.

Masked ICE agents pulled back from a raid in Rochester, N.Y. on Tuesday as about 100 protesters crowded the street outside the location shouting “shame” and “Gestapo." www.huffpost.com/entry/federa...

Mamdani vows to scrap NYPD protest unit — and bets on a Midwest policing model instead.

What should I read about it to understand it better?

The classic lifehack of any government faced with protests is to unite the population in holy hatred of their neighbors and send them off to kill someone outside the country. The moment blood is spilled — control becomes absolute. In a “state of emergency,” dissenters meet a well-known fate. 1/

We remember 9/11 not only on this day, but every day—in the empty seats at our tables, in the loved ones still suffering from illness, in a skyline forever changed. And we recommit ourselves to building a future worthy of the courage and sacrifice of those we lost.

Some good news.

How America helped create the Palestinian Authority – only to undermine it ever since

US President Donald Trump has slammed former president’s trial for attempted coup as a ‘witch-hunt’.

We’re peacefully protesting for our neighbors. What does ICE do? Pick us up and throw us on the ground. No arrest, no identification, no process.

Advocates now call for ecocide recognition as the “fifth international crime against peace,” to hold perpetrators to account in both war and peace contexts.

good morning from outside the ice detention/processing facility in broadview, illinois. protesters are gathering here to oppose president trump’s mass-deportation blitz. about a dozen camouflaged ice agents, some with with less lethal weapons, one with a rifle, are standing in the street.
