Needless to say: if you're in Berlin next Saturday and have a conscience you should join either of these marches! (or organize you own if, for whatever reason, you feel you cannot even march with @amnesty.de)

So many people build their reputation as a "critic" on strikingly precise and eloquent analysis of a problem to then only suggest solutions that are harmless to the status quo and guarantee a wide audience.

Last week, Israel targeted and massacred 34 newspaper reporters in Yemen. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, it was the second deadliest attack on journalists ever recorded.

I recently published this article on famine denialism in Gaza in IPG journal. It's in German and will not be translated by IPG. I would love to publish an English translation somewhere though! Anyone interested? share.google/QUHYkhNsalYw...

7/ Which brings me back to Outlaw’s advice: don’t look to Europe to explain U.S. fascism, look to America’s own past. As a German, in turn, I wonder if Europeans too can learn from the Black antifascist tradition, which shows fascism takes root inside democracy when it rests on racial exclusion.

Israeli Forces fired upon a clearly identified Médecins Sans Frontièreswater truck while it was distributing 10000L of drinking water in Gaza City. The vehicle’s route and schedule had been communicated in advance to the Israeli authorities, as MSF does on a daily basis. msf.org.au/article/proj...

There is no organisation called antifa, it's an idea. What Trump is doing is trying to criminalise *anyone* who opposes fascist regimes, like his. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/...

meanwhile most governments and powerful economic institutions are taking the position that it'll be fine to carry on greenlighting new fossil fueld projects while we blow past 1.5C because we'll figure it out later

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”. They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left. This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up. www.cnn.com/2025/09/17/p...

Unlike vulnerable children, adults should all be autonomous, rational consumers with the capacity to resist cognitive biases, manipulation and harmful technologies and to choose what product/services are best for them, and if it happens they somehow aren't, they deserve what they get I guess 💁‍♀️

The three most damning paras in the UN Report alleging that Israel is perpetrating genocide in Gaza: Siege starvation, attacks on health care, direct targeting of children as patterns that cannot be explained except if group destruction is one animating purpose.

"Every country was put on notice by the ICJ that there was a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza.. every country became obliged under the law.. not to speak fine words, to take action to prevent genocide.. that obligation was activated on 24th Jan 2024" Chris Sidoti spells it out

I notice that our Prime Minister, the man who gave the island of strangers speech, routinely demonises refugees and immediately condemned Charlie Kirk's murder on twitter/X has still said nothing about the violent far right mobs on said platform.

Honoured to have been part of today's panel w/ @stefaniasds.bsky.social on academic freedom infringements in the wake of genocide in Gaza where I presented our survey on the conditions of MENA scholarship in Germany. 👉 The full study will be out on Monday @interactfu.bsky.social, stay tuned!

In the past 36 hours, Israel has bombed: • Palestine (Gaza) • Syria (Homs, Latakia, Palmyra) • Lebanon (Hermel, Bekaa) • Tunisia (aid flotilla) • Qatar (Doha) • Yemen (Sanaa)

Amazing how those democratic lawmakers who were hunted down in their homes in the middle of the night in Minnesota weren’t a watershed moment of political violence, huh?

Israel has bombed Qatar in an attempt to murder Gaza negotiators gathered for ceasefire talks, just days after bombing Yemen to murder the Prime Minister and cabinet in Sanaa, all while conducting a genocide. Obscene levels of violence. A terrorist regime in the fullest sense.

Tomorrow I will have the great privilege of moderating the 2nd panel of our IG workshop on “Forensic and Counter-Forensic Approaches to Reconstructing International Law: A Cartography and Anatomy of Genocide”.

Imaginez un pays imaginaire où un président nommerait trois fois de suite un Premier ministre du camp politique qui a perdu les élections. Non je déconne. Mais imaginez quand même.
