For @equatormag.bsky.social, I interviewed Antonio Spadaro (Vatican Undersecretary, papal confidant, and co-author of a book on faith with Martin Scorsese) about the theological and geopolitical stakes of the pope’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas. www.equator.org/articles/to-...

The senior Vatican advisor @antoniospadaro.bsky.social talks to @gavjacobson.bsky.social about the Pope’s AI encyclical – which radically critiques both Silicon Valley transhumanism and Trumpism

@equatormag.bsky.social is for both people who are curious about the world, and those who wish they were. It is for the politically homeless, the ones seeking a moral oasis among the navel-gazing necropolitics of Western corporate media. It is also for those who'd rather be nomads.

i somehow give equator money yet forgot to follow them on bsky - anyway if you would like to read internationalist leftist thought that isn't infested by dumb parochial tankie nonsense, i cannot recommend equator highly enough. invaluable.

Equator is a marvellous publication.

If you are looking for new online magazines to read, Equator just launched and looks very promising www.equator.org/about/what-w...

David Wolf, thank you for introducing me to @equatormag.bsky.social. I haven't stopped reading this magazine since this edition of the SLR. They are consistently producing incredible writing & reporting the most interesting stories I'm reading in (digital) print right now.

This is one of the smartest things I have read in many years. Thanks to @andisheh.com for unknowingly turning me on to @equatormag.bsky.social!

Equator is fast becoming a regular read for me, and this conversation about Mali and the Sahel juntas was particularly interesting

Great analysis of Orban's defeat from Ivan Krastev c.o. @equatormag.bsky.social www.equator.org/articles/the...

I signed up for free for @equatormag.bsky.social when it launched but I have so consistently read & enjoyed the articles that show up in my inbox that I just started paying. Well-written and thoughtful and interesting pieces from around the world: www.equator.org

From the @equatormag.bsky.social mission statement and damn, was that ever proven 100% correct in short order.

"And what about all those books with checklists on how to spot your country sliding into fascism? Why did so many of the people who read them—and even some of the people who wrote them—falter when a genocide was unfolding on their screens..." - @naomiaklein.bsky.social h/t @annfriedman.bsky.social

thank you to everyone finding this essay in a brand new magazine - one that is trying to do something different in this time of media consolidation...

“The Surrealists were willing to look into the abyss of so-called civilisation, admit to ‘pessimism all along the line,’ and nonetheless wrench from that darkness a poetics of revolutionary change,” @naomiaklein.bsky.social writes www.equator.org/articles/sur...

@naomiaklein.bsky.social on how the Surrealists confronted the horrors of the First World War – and why their work speaks to us today: ”Evisceration was as real and material for many of these young artists as their evident desire to burn it all down.” www.equator.org/articles/sur...

Revolutionary ghosts are always helpful. So I turned to the Surrealists for tips on fighting fascism. Stay for the ending about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social surrealist campaigning... Enjoy!

New @equatormag.bsky.social: @naomiaklein.bsky.social on how the Surrealists transformed the wreckage of history into revolutionary art – and what their example can teach us about the fight against fascism today www.equator.org/articles/sur...

This is an amazing way of writing “most of the world”

Former senior UN relief official Jan Eliasson has dismissed these air drops as an "ineffective sideshow". But of course, they're not aimed at stopping the genocide. Nothing Starmer does is aimed at stopping the genocide. Its aimed at managing the domestic politics of his complicity in the genocide.

"Who in the future is going to listen to a Jewish perspective on environmentalism or social justice when the bodies that espouse them did not speak up when thousands of people were being starved to death in the name of Jewish safety and security?"

“What he was really interested in, he said, was parlaying his wages as a deportation officer into buying Airbnbs.” www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...

New piece: been working on this for the best part of a year. But really it's trying to draw on everything I've seen and thought about since I first started reporting on far right politics in the late 2000s. Online now and in tomorrow's LRB. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...
