A welcome bit of good news... Congratulations to the people of Hungary!

One of my cartoons in Monday's Metro

400 dead so far, over 1000 injured, dozens and dozens missing. This is one hour into the massacre. I have no idea what the death toll will be in the end. Also, they have announced “another wave” of attacks coming

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon.

You are being lied to

Super excited to be in Regensburg to present my new project: The Women of Krajina.

If you're in the area, join me to hear about new perspectives in peace and conflict studies in the Balkans, namely war as a place of life. I look at women's political agency & everyday survival in wartime Croatia.

‘Weak and pathetic’: why is the EU not using its leverage to stop Israel? Deep divisions on Israel mean the union has failed to act over Lebanon, Gaza, or settler violence in the West Bank

And ultimately, complicit.

People say Trump has no war strategy, but his strategy is quite clearly a criminal one of destroying Iran's civilian infrastructure (and killing a bunch of people in the process) unless they capitulate. We -- the United States of America -- are a rogue state and global pariah.

Typische stropop redenering. Nederland heeft helemaal geen open grenzen, profiteert aanzienlijk van reguliere migratie en de auteur vergeet dat Nederland al 40 jaar vluchtelingen opneemt (met een record in de jaren negentig vd vorige eeuw) zonder dat de verzorgingsstaat ten onder gaat. @nrc.nl

School book banning escalates in the UK as Greater Manchester secondary school censors scores of books - Index on Censorship A school librarian faced a disciplinary hearing and scores of books were removed from her school library after she stocked Laura Bates’ Men Who Hate Women

This is utterly jaw-dropping.

A school that bans Atwood, Zadie Smith, Terry effing Pratchett and *literal George Orwell* is actively harming its pupils.

Four dead in 24 hours: Israeli settler terror intensifies amid Iran war Settler gunfire killed Palestinians in two West Bank villages as they tried to defend their land. In the aftermath, soldiers’ tear gas induced a cardiac arrest.

Israeli settlers in the West Bank harass, terrorise, destroy, burn, injure and kill Palestinians, their properties and livestock every day, while the IDF is aiding and abetting them.
Every. Day.

Israel laying waste to Lebanon, does anybody with any power care enough to do something about it? What is this new age we are living in?

My roots Syrian and Lebanese... Wondering if anything will be left of the lands of my forefathers and foremothers.

Headline in NYT: How Trump and His Advisers Miscalculated Iran's Response to War

The presumption here is that some act of calculation took place, rather than an impulsive trigger-finger "Let's see what happens when I press this button" approach to foreign policy.

A book cover with a poster at center showing a woman in a purple skirt, orange top, and black boots waving to a distant crowd, opposite a taller looming woman in white. At bottom is the book title, Circulating Subjects, in black and at top is the author's name, Philippa Hetherington, in orange type.

An incredible cover has landed for an incredible book - Philippa Hetherington's "Circulating Subjects: Sex Work and Migration in Russia, 1885–1935."

Once again, Israel is renewing its ban on supplies entering Gaza."

Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack. "The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."

complete insanity

This is amazing.

Interesting. I guess I won't bother then. It kind of felt like a bait and switch - first episode was intriguing and thought provoking and the second one was the total opposite.

Just listened to episode 2... And I'm rather disappointed. He seems to give up on trying to see things from different perspectives and presents the anti-zionist movement in a pretty caricatural way. His treatment of the Selina Robinson affair was esp. problematic... Should I try another episode?

yeahhh boi, the weratedogs dudes get it.

Gut-wrenching episode of this American Life on ICE told though 911 recordings. I can see very little difference from the Black Shirts or SA.

American friends, how can I best support you in resisting your fascist government? For yourself and for us all?

Never in my wildest dreams, as a 23 year old reading Sofia Petrovna in an East European literature class at the U of Toronto, did I think there would be affinities so close to home.
