From a friend in Beirut this morning, who in the last few days has seen several Israel missile strikes within walking distance of their home.

Read this headline. Now read it again. Now read it again. You are not alarmed enough. It is later than you think. 🇺🇸 deadline.com/2026/03/trum...

Wow! So looking forward to read this.

You start to realize the era of the nation state is long since dead and that everything that happens is wealth and oligarchical class jockeying for power between people and groups that sometimes partner and sometimes hold the global economy hostage in a perpetual game of chicken.

maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living

Israel has killed tens of thousands of Palestinian women and girls in its genocidal war on Gaza. On International Women's Day, we look at the number of women and girls Israel killed in Gaza in 2025. #Infograph

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

The infernal cycle of Western empire: destroy and displace peoples abroad, close borders at home. Repeat.

If this is true, things are actually worse than I thought, and I didn’t think that was possible.

Spot on! Yet, I wrote a book I really wanted to read, but after reading it for the 74th time, I deeply regretted having written it. I still have to go through the proofs, mind you. 😭

“Nobody knows why the US attacked Iran” - said absolutely fuckin’ nobody with even the most rudimentary understanding of imperialism

It’s white supremacy against the world

A very long and important THREAD - The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974. And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself. Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

Fascists aren't doing one horrible thing to distract from another. They are just doing lots of different horrible things because that's who they are.

In order to understand UK politics in 2026 you must realise that a plumber & plasterer doesn't represent the interests of the working class because she is left-wing but a wealthy broadcaster & former academic does represent the interests of the working class because he is right-wing. Hope this helps

Keep this list in mind as you consume news about Iran.

Why is @theguardian.com not reporting on Starmer's position re the attacks on Iran?

Turns out actively supporting a genocide loses Labour seats just like it lost Kamala Harris the presidency. Turns out genocide isn’t a vote winner among the left. Starmer and Harris response: “it’s because we didn’t genocide enough”

So true.

That woman campaigned with the Cheneys and promised "the most lethal army in the world". We will not forget.

All you Chat GPT fans who can’t be arsed to write your own words or think it’s great fun to drain the planet so you can show what your cartoon work persona looks like, well this is what you’re funding. It’s basically Skynet.

Next week Guardian will be publishing a piece by someone claiming no-one really understands why is Starmer so deeply unpopular and suggesting it's perhaps because his "manner and delivery [...| can be uninspiring."

God-level gaslighting: Exhibit Z.

The most unpopular prime minister since records began stands resolutely behind the unprovoked attack on Iran by the two countries that are actively carrying out a genocide in the Middle East. But please, do elaborate more about "extremism on the Left", Mr Human Rights lawyer KC.

this isn't a distraction from epstein class pedophilia it's an expression of the epstein class worldview

Matthew Goodwin is very adept at euphemism. The “coalition of Islamist and woke progressives” = people from all backgrounds who oppose fascism, seeing it, like many during WWII, as anti-British.

2026 white supremacy is 1776 white supremacy.

My book will be published in August, but it is already available on the @sunypress.bsky.social website. I'm very happy with it and with the cover. I am really grateful to everyone who made it possible, especially @rcolesworthy.bsky.social. sunypress.edu/Books/R/Regi...

You know, AI is kind of the ultimate calcification of tradition. Thinking is too hard, developing your own perspective and consciousness is not something that's really tested for or graded, so aggregate all the existing writing on a topic and tweak it a bit. Regurgitate, recycle, retrench, reify.

Breaking: on two counts, the High Court has ruled that the Labour government's proscription of the campaign group Palestine Action was unlawful – a win for its co-founder Huda Ammori, who sought a judicial review of the ban

The white supremacy is both a structure and a mode of understanding and organising social space. It can be maintained by non-white individuals in a manner analogous to the ways in which patriarchy is supported and reinforced by women.

"Must remain in seats for entirety of film" Who is going to make sure that happens?

Alors, je savais que c'était affreux, mais pas à ce point-là. Une interdiction aux moins de 16 ans ne servira à rien. Les seuls capables de sauver la (les) société(s) sont les hackers, car la solution, je le crains bien, est de démanteler les réseaux sociaux tels qu'ils existent aujourd'hui.

What a shitty year. I just found out that Deborah Cameron has passed away. She was my tutor at Oxford and the reason why I chose that university for my MPhil. I was actually planning to send her my book, which will be published in August, because her work greatly influenced mine.

Desperately sad news about Deborah Cameron today. She was such a brilliant, incisive presence in the world of linguistics and particularly language and gender. Don't know what else to say but I'm sure there will be many tributes paid to her and her work in the days to come.

Jesus!

The global North is about to start experiencing US imperialism concretely. In Latin America, we know all about it, and let me tell you: it's horrendous.

The Trump administration announced that it will be moving to “phase 2” of the ceasefire plan. And yet, during the past three months that the so-called ceasefire has been in effect, the Israeli military has killed over 400 Palestinians...

Which is why the term 'nativist' to denote what is in fact white supremacist settler colonialism is so problematic.

I have for a long time writing about how Colombian uribista dystopia, established during the two first decades of the 21st century with the full support of the US, was a working template for elitist & authoritarian leaders across the world. We're getting there faster than I thought.
