Outrageous and abominable.

Donald Trump needs helpers for his appalling neocolonialist project. What else is this ‘board of peace’? | Owen Jones Blair, Putin, Erdoğan, Orbán: the names of those invited to serve say it all. And it’s about so much more than Gaza, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

❝ Trump's Gaza 'Board of Peace' should terrify you. It's a template for the world - and Gaza is just the start. ❞ — @owenjones.bsky.social

Donald Trump has not assembled a “Board of Peace” for Gaza.

He has assembled a Board of Occupation.

The future of Gaza is not up to Trump, Blair or Netanyahu.

That is up to the Palestinian people.

Currenly reading #KimJiyoungBorn1982 by #ChoNamJoo. It continues to amaze me time and again to realize how similar the sufferings of the women accros the planet.

Sally Rooney and Annie Ernaux among authors urging Macron to reinstate Gaza writers programme 20 authors, including Viet Thanh Nguyen and Abdulrazak Gurnah, call on the French president to restart scheme to help creatives evacuate

Sally Rooney, Deborah Levy, Nobel laureate Annie Ernaux and Pulitzer winner Viet Thanh Nguyen are among 20 authors urging French president Emmanuel Macron to resume a “lifeline” programme for evacuating Palestinian writers, scholars and artists from Gaza.

So being against racism and fascism and standing with one’s community for self-defense is now considered a crime? Shame on UNC.

This is Dwayne Dixon. I know Dwayne and the students testifying to how great of a professor he is in the comments on Instagram are as shocked as I am.

“This is the most frightening moment of my life,” she added. "The only thing that has ever worked...is solidarity: binding together, finding bravery in numbers too big to ignore, and standing up for one another.”

"Daha sonraya bırakma şeyleri
Daha sonra kahve soğur
Daha sonra ilgini kaybedersin.
Daha sonra gün geceye döner.
Daha sonra insanlar büyür.
Daha sonra,insanlar yaşlanır daha sonra,ömür geçer.
Daha sonra pişman olursun yapmadın diye bir şeyi
Hazır şansın varken"

Zohran Mamdani is saying things like “poverty is a policy choice and politicians have a duty to their constituents to make their lives affordable” and it is making a lot of politicians very very scared that they may actually have to start doing some actual service in their public service jobs.

Bütün savaşlardan sonra
birinin ortalığı toplaması gerekir.
Ortalık kendi kendini
toplayacak değildir ya.

Birilerinin çekmesi gerekir
molozları yolun kıyısına
ki ceset dolu arabalar
yol alabilsin.

- Wisława Szymborska
