Today I am in Modena at the International Investigative Journalism Festival. Together with Danilo Conte and Francesca Coin, we will talk about the fight against war in universities and workplaces. And then I'll listen to the stellar Francesca Albanese, who will speak shortly after us.

To boycott everything Israel is the only way forward. But the coloniality of Western inhabiting is responsible for all this. To fight that, we need to get closer to our own homes. For nothing stands in Gaza anymore, so that our rotten edifices can continue to stand. [Ebrahim Hajjaj/Reuters]

I had the pleasure of reading the manuscript of Beyond Sanctuary for @dukepress.bsky.social months ago, and I am now thrilled to see it in print. Edited by Ananya Roy and Veronika Zablotsky. Read it, share it, it is really worth it. Free access: read.dukeupress.edu/books/book/3...

“We rarely leave the house anymore, afraid our legs might give out. While searching on the streets for something, anything, to feed her children, my sister suddenly collapsed to the ground. Her body didn’t even have the strength to stay upright.” www.972mag.com/hunger-gaza-...

I have no words left for these fucking criminals. At least 104 killed as Israel targets food aid sites in Gaza again aje.io/piv23b via @AJEnglish

Starting Monday morning with a unicorn coffee and (finally) reading @michelelancione.bsky.social highly important and inspiring book!

The Polytechnic University where I work has missed another opportunity to do the right thing. On July 15, 2025, the Academic Senate voted by a majority against the Motion for Gaza presented by a group of senators. Full story & political statement: www.michelelancione.eu/blog/2025/07...

...with "great humanity, technical precision and attention to shield civilians." For the relentless, ferocious, total annihilation of the 🇵🇸 people, history and place.

The USA are now sanctioning Francesca Albanese calling her fundamental investigative and justice-based work as "warfare". The same people structurally foraging Israel's military industrial complex aka the Z!10n!st g3n0g1d@l machine. Stay strong, Francesca. You're not alone 🇵🇸

Yesterday at Valentino Park, in Turin. Three hours of public debate and grassroots education against the militarization of our society. With people of all ages and social backgrounds. Avanti!

In recent weeks, numerous cases have emerged of police officers infiltrating the structures of student-led political organisations in Italy. What the State Police have deployed against them is a textbook strategy of terror. Please support our petition: www.michelelancione.eu/blog/2025/07...

On boycotting the ISA in Rabat: a) ISS needs to be expelled, not suspended; b) Z!on!st abstracts need to be removed from the program; c) Affiliations to universities complicit with the g¤n¤c!d3 must be removed In full www.michelelancione.eu/blog/2025/06... @pacbi.bsky.social @gs4p.bsky.social

I am very happy to participate in this debate organized by Neapolitan comrades from the Banchi Nuovi Movement (historically one of the most important workers' movements in and beyond Naples). July 2nd, to discuss militarization, universities, & Palestine. Details: www.facebook.com/events/10688...

A must read @972mag Since May 27, well over 400 Palestinians have been killed and over 3,000 wounded while waiting for aid, according to Gaza Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basel." www.972mag.com/hunger-games...

What to expect from fascist regimes governed by resentment via the logistics of their military-academic-industrial-complex? Racist death as a tool of capital and patriarchal value-accumulation. Racist death on and on. Fuck them!

Today I am giving one of the keynotes at the White Rose Doctoral Partnership 2025 conference in #Sheffield. My dear friend and comrade Erin McElroy is going to deliver the other one. Thanks to brother Ryan Powell for the invite! Info about the event: wrdtp.ac.uk/events/wrdtp...

Thanks @ljmccart.bsky.social for your reading of my book @dukepress.bsky.social! “I imagine it will be remembered as a seminal contribution ... one future scholars will return to when trying to think differently about the politics of space, care, and belonging” www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Today, the Italian newspaper Il Manifesto comes out with a 28-page issue entirely on G@z@. I was interviewed about the work done with students all over Italy on relations with the military & P@lestine. A necessary, collective & formative struggle. ilmanifesto.it/basta-ricerc...

I'll be in Palermo this Saturday, June 7, at 5 p.m., at the Festival Una Marina di Libri. With students of the university group in revolt (CUIR) to discuss my book on the relationship between the university & military www.erisedizioni.org/prodotto/uni... Thanks @ChiaraGiubilaro for all this!

Humanitarianism. Unbound. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/5/... (Palestinian people forced into cages waiting to receive a can of tomatoes from the "Gaza humanitarian foundation", also known as the "Genocidal Israeli foundation", near Rafah)

The struggle against the military & for Palestine continues. With students, rallies & assemblies across Italy, every week for years now. I want to thank all these students & comrades. The university we fight for. A space for the joy of discovery & the generative anger of political struggle. Avanti!

Today, online at the University of Parma, thinking with colleagues and students on how to demilitarise the university.

Today, I will participate in the Swiss Collaboratory City Network event at the University of Geneva. I will give a keynote entitled "The Colonies of Home". I would like to thank Armelle Choplin and Blaise Dupuis, the Urban Hub, and the organising team in Geneva for having me.

These liberal media & governments say nothing for months and nothing now. If you want to stop the gen0cid3 on #Palestine then call Israel for what it is: a gen0cidal apartheid state. Stop military aid. Jail the criminal Netanyahu. Confiscate the settler colonial Zionists. Pic: @aljazeera.com

Check "Urban Marginality, Racialisation, Interdependence: Learning from Eastern Europe", co-edited by our @anavilenica.bsky.social (with Ryna Powell & Filip Alexandrescu). A timely and conceptually rich intervention to de-centre global urban studies. Info: beyondinhabitation.org/urban-margin...

I am glad to be part of the open-access volume "Insurgent ground: land, housing, property" curated by the wonderful Ananya Roy, Terra Graziani & Annie Powers. The book emerges from a Freedom School held at UCLA in the Summer 2024. Download: challengeinequality.luskin.ucla.edu/2025/05/05/i...

The University gave a classroom to a group of Zionists for them to run a seminar today, 15th May, day of the Nakba. We, the students of the 🇵🇸 intifada & few profs, occupied the classroom and pushed the Zionists out of our University. This is not a day like any other & we fight Zionists everyday.

In the streets, classrooms, and workplaces, we will continue to fight the genocide that the State of Israel is committing against the Palestinian people, history, & territory. For our Palestinian sisters & brothers, we are "Millemila"/a thousand thousand. Out now: open.spotify.com/track/5OCSMI...

On a Monday evening, in a cinema in Turin... A full house with a long queue of people still waiting outside. To watch an anti-militarist doc on the dock workers of Genoa. Followed by an 11pm debate with unionists, portual laborers, students & a professor, united in the same struggle. Avanti!

On Monday in Turin I will discuss the launch of an important documentary. It tells the story of the CALP - a collective of dock workers in Genoa - who, for many years, have been refusing to load ships carrying weapons. True anti-militarist praxis. Check for 'Portuali' online in the future.
