🔴Carta a la Comunidad de @nuriaalabao.bsky.social "Que se llame violencia política a una protesta pacífica contra un genocidio, pero no a las redadas racistas o a la tortura policial, muestra como estamos ante una lucha por definir qué violencias cuentan y cuáles no." ctxt.es/es/20250901/...

Brilliantly said, and I’ll add the money we spend on visa applications and language courses. It’s unbelievable how an MP can say this and suffer no consequences.

500 strong Palestine march today in Brighton. A very small group of about 20 Zionists once again tried their tactic of marching just in front of the Palestine demo with huge Israel flags. But this time we refused to move while they were there and stopped, blocking the street. 🧵

"to accept that the world is broken is an invitation to repair. Humanity stands here with history’s ghosts in the ongoing ruins of Euro-modernity. And it is in these ruins that we must find the power to repair... to build something new... from these ruins." folukeafrica.com/falling-apar...

AHA council vetoed resolution against scholasticide. They oddly named HS teachers as 1 reason for veto ⬇️. We work with teachers all over US who know you can't be an "unbiased historical actor." You're either for or against genocide. AHA council chose a side. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

We ignore Sudan at our peril. This campaign of mass murder and rape will have global consequences | Nesrine Malik

If you've noted the massive failure to mention climate change in mainstream coverage about the LA fires, here is a piece that specifically discusses how climate change has exacerbated wildfires in California in the last decade. The current fires will likely go down as among the most destructive.

Reflexivity in research receives a lot of attention, but how to initiate it? Join TESS 🕔12.00, Fri 24 Jan! 👉https://tinyurl.com/2p8w5w98 Dr Omolola Olarinde draws on conversations between 3 African women researchers unravelling complexities of insider-outsider status in global-North/South research.

My small 2025 request to academics: Stop misusing and overusing the word “decolonize”. It’s not a buzz word. It has meaning, and often academics say they’re “decolonizing” something but they really aren’t doing anything close to that.

By focusing only Gazprom, this article fails to note that Rosneft's profit for 2023 was $14.07 billion, a 47.2% increase from 2022 despite the war - because they now mainly sell to India and China. This ‘winding down’ hurts Europe way more than Russia. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

“By refusing to accept the designations of genocide & ethnic cleansing, […]Israel’s allies force an adaptation on to the world after which it simply becomes accepted that rights are not bestowed by humanity, but by the parties who decide who is human” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is becoming the mainstream, consensus position in the global humanitarian / human rights community. It should be recognised and treated as such. Not just in the general discourse, but by policymakers above all. They have a specific obligation to prevent genocide. Active facilitation is criminal

Here, I recommend 20 African novels that we can incorporate into our teaching to ensure we produce learning environments that do not consign Africa and her peoples to the silence of ignorance and distorted narratives. Further suggestions are very welcome!!! folukeafrica.com/20-contempor...

#Italy: Doctors Without Borders forced to end operation of #GeoBarents search & rescue ship due to Italian laws & policies. They made it impossible to continue with the current operational model, they disregard the lives of people crossing the #Mediterranean. Our ship saved over 12,600 lives.

Israel has invaded Syria. The failure of the Western media to refer to an invasion is nothing other than disinformation. A lie by omission is still a lie. You are being lied to. New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/israel-has...

Britain is arresting 3X more environmental activists than the global average, while the majority of global north has ‘increased sentence lengths for non-violent protest’ and ‘given police new powers to stop protests during them and before they take place.’ www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Belgium found guilty of crimes against humanity in colonial Congo for separating mixed raced children from their mothers. A tiny sliver of justice that hopefully can opening up to more for the thousands that were stolen.

#ReadPalestineWeek starts today. I’ll post some of my personal favourite reads here 🧵

On the eve of the international say of solidarity with palestine, here is one of my favorite poems, Darwish’s on Edward Said postcolonial.poetry.blog/2019/03/05/o...

‘The ICC’s findings so far have only scratched the surface’ - https://www.972mag.com/raji-sourani-icc-arrest-warrants/

Una reconciliación maravillosa La "etapa posterior a la guerra civil" fue "de reconciliación" (Manuel Mariscal, diputado de Vox, en el Congreso; dijo lo mismo, en el mismo lugar, Francisco José Contreras, julio de 2022). 50.000 personas ejecutadas en esa década de postguerra.

Fabulous article by @marralsham.bsky.social, on the history of student activism against apartheid & colonialism at LSE: analyzing how students protesting for a free Palestine today are part of a larger history and how LSE needs to learn the lessons from its own past. tribunemag.co.uk/2024/11/the-...

The world that’s being configured due to the sheer disregard of the suffering in Gaza, Lebanon, Congo, Sudan (& globally) isn’t separate from the explicitly fascist tendencies emerging in the US. Imperialism is recalibrating itself with the assistance of good ol’ domestic fascism

"War crimes and crimes against humanity cannot go unpunished." — Deputy Prime Minister of Belgium

The ICC’s arrest warrants are long overdue. The Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary must immediately endorse this decision. That is the bare minimum. Will the UK government now, finally, honour its international obligations to prevent genocide and end all arms sales to Israel?

The Guardian mentions the number of Israeli victims but not the number of Palestinian victims. Our media have lost all shame.
