Gaza Tony Blair How is this even a possibility?

« There’s no doubt that the West seeks to “eliminate the Palestinian revolutionary liberation movement” with its symbolic recognition of the State of Palestine It leaves Israel’s genocidal settler colonial project intact and absolves the West from its participation in the annihilation of… ».

„Der Faschismus von heute hat äußerlich nichts mit dem aus der Vergangenheit zu tun. Keine Uniformen, kein Stechschritt und kein Führergruß. Nein, er ist modern, raffiniert verpackt und wird mit PR verkauft. " (Umberto Eco)

About the performative recognition by genocide enablers: “A state that needs its oppressor’s permission to exist is not a state. It’s a diplomatic mirage sold over mass graves.” Soumaya Ghannousi

This terrorist “state” needs to be stopped. BDS won’t cut it, UN resolutions are a joke, international military force is what is needed!

New article! The aesthetics of climate misinformation: computational multimodal framing analysis with BERTopic and CLIP by Anton Törnberg & Petter Törnberg / @pettertornberg.com doi.org/10.1080/0964...

AI ziet wél de zwarte vluchteling in de woestijn, maar niet de witte die zijn huis verlaat na een bosbrand in Californië of een overstroming in Duitsland. Klimaatmigratie wordt nog steeds geframed als iets van de “ander” - ver weg, arm, niet-westers. Koloniale blindheid.

This stinks of glass cliff: Nepal appoints its first female PM right after deadly protests, corruption scandals & a social media blackout. When the system is in flames, a woman is asked to “fix” it, handed a near-impossible job, with enormous expectations but few real tools...

We have this new paper, led by Meghna Goyal, which provides the first global view of inequality in the agri-food system. We find that agricultural production has increasingly shifted to the South, but income is increasingly captured in the North. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Tunisia, Qatar and Yemen…. almost simultaneously attacked by US-EU backed colonists. Meanwhile the Arab leaders’ inaction is deafening. You’re all complicit, the consequences will run deep. aje.io/l5t30s

1.Ursula, you have ZERO credibility 2.This unanimity requirement institutionalises a grotesque "lowest common denominator logic" that transforms European foreign policy into a theater play while definitions are discussed to avoid the terms 'famine' and 'genocide' www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Very provocative paper (that I missed because there is no longer a reliable place to find these announcements). 'If adaptation projects are produced under unjust systems, maladaptation should be considered an expected outcome.' 1/ link.springer.com/article/10.1...

How many countries can the Israterrorists bomb before we officially declare the international rule of law dead? Every strike outside “its” borders erodes what little legitimacy global governance has left.

We need to be careful with framing climate change as a potential driver of violent conflict. It shifts blame onto vulnerable countries instead of addressing structural injustice + emissions. Climate justice ≠ militarisation. What we need is accountability, not more defense spending.

'Historical collapses often result from a small elite class extracting resources and power from the broader population until societies are hollowed out and vulnerable to shocks like war, disease, or environmental disaster.' #climate www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"The projection of unequal outcomes across scenarios... is a matter of serious concern, especially when scenario results are directly used as inputs for #climate policy... we need to move towards model &scenario building techniques where questions of equity &climate justice come to the foreground"

100% correct the discourse of scenario modeling is indelibly constituted by neoclassical economics and a quasi-religious capitalist techno-faith, so of course that's how the models hypothesize futures not to mention that world govts refuse to approve statements about radical change in IPCC reports

Reviewer 2… (That’s all, that’s my message)

I have a new article out today in Public Humanities, where I try to find some words for how historicide is (and has always been) a project of European colonialism - and I try to find some words for the historians who continue to support it. 🇵🇸✊🏻 Open access: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

NEW: Western sanctions imposed on the global South have killed 38 million people since 1970. "We cannot accept a world where half a million people are killed each year to prop up Western hegemony. This system must be dismantled and replaced." www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

This is why we need Max Ajl over here!

Spineless continent…

Technology-enabled displacement, resource extraction, and power concentration benefiting wealthy nations... textbook colonialism, AI-infused. Since we are governed by spineless men, what will it take to stop these terrorists? www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

But did they condone Khamas?

Ex-Israeli minister Danny Ayalon: "This is where Hamas is." Me: "Danny, where is the Israeli military headquarters?" Ayalon: "Tel Aviv." Me: "It's in the heart of Tel Aviv. So can a Palestinian group blow up all of Tel Aviv to get to [it]"? Ayalon: "No." Full interview: zeteo.com/p/danny-ayal...

One of the strongest, clearest increases in likelihood & intensity, attributable to climate change, I've seen in a complex index like fire weather - the more intense & frequent events in Greece & Türkiye are already outpacing efforts to adapt. www.worldweatherattribution.org/weather-cond...

"Around 2.5% of all global marine fish caught are used to feed Norwegian salmon farms" - wtf!!!

Amid international outrage, Israel is now claiming the double-tap strike on Nasser hospital was an accident—after celebrating it in Hebrew media. Drunk on their own impunity they take us all for fools. They mock humanity itself. Hell is not hot enough for these monsters.

“Wij willen graag neutraal blijven en daarin is geen ruimte voor een politieke boodschap." EEN GENOCIDE WORDT LIVE UITGEZONDEN WERELDWIJD. Maar de RTBF wil “graag neutraal” blijven. U en uw politieke broodheren zijn exact de reden waarom de terroristenstaat zijn gang kan gaan. vrtnws.be/p.WknR6Y7w1

Chacun pour soi. Something I experienced both in and outside academia. Those working on inequality and discrimination are the worst. Keeping quiet about injustice happening in front of them because it could affect their careers.

The war in Sudan is often reduced to numbers – 12-million people displaced – or shorthand – “two generals fighting for power”. Then there are the labels – “forgotten”, “nihilistic”, and “war about nothing”. In El Fasher, residents who are organising to survive an ongoing siege defy such flattening.

Please do repost this message to reach more people, for an ongoing project. I hope to speak to/hear from #climate and #democracy #researchers who are willing to discuss/reflect on how they navigate their research topics in times of climate breakdown and democratic #backsliding. Please reach out!

Don't stop talking about Gaza. Israel is pushing their own final solution, in which they seek to expel Palestinians from Palestine forever. It's time for the world to provide the tech, arms and manpower to stop Israel and return ALL the land back to Palestine.

Only rage, that’s what I feel.

Absolutely beautiful short graphic story by Samir Harb www.otherwisemag.com/your-silence...

Commodificatie van jongeren, ook België is in hetzelfde bedje ziek… Waarom accepteren we dat maatschappelijke zwaktes een verhandelbaar marktgoed worden? En waarom is het onderwijssysteem waarvoor gracieus via belastingen wordt betaald, niet toereikend?

Who’s going to tell them?

Disgusting creatures

Beyond incomprehensible, this lack of ethics…

If you would (still) wonder how low they could go… Active genocidal policy: stealing donkeys all over Palestine, on top of the 97% animal wealth destroyed in Gaza. Stand up world! End this shameful enabling of a calculated genocide!

While it’s nice to imagine research as the innocent pursuit for knowledge the reality is that much of what we label research today didn’t just grow out of humble curiosity It grew from violent systems that saw research as a tool to justify, legitimize supremacy www.pauseandeffect.ca/blog/the-col...

The surprising durability of Africa’s 140-year-old colonial borders. Scholar Ali Mazrui reminded us that by 1993, nearly 2 million Africans had lost their lives defending the borders inherited from colonial regimes. Since then, millions more have died. Yet the borders have held.

Africa’s minerals are being bartered for security: why it’s a bad idea. Such deals aren’t new in Africa. They first emerged in the early 2000s as resources-for-infrastructure transactions.

We need action and sanctions, not just statements 'condemning' Israel. Israel has denied food, water & fuel to 2 Million people & bombed them incessantly for nearly two years. People are on the brink of starvation & the health system is destroyed. Truly shameful bbc.com/news/article...
