10 years ago today, the people of Greece said NO to austerity. And were betrayed. @yanisvaroufakis has one message for the world, and for the fight ahead. Watch it now.

This is devastating. Over a hundred BBC staff have signed a letter declaring they've been forced to do PR for Israel. Just the latest chapter in the biggest scandal of Western journalism of our time https://t.co/cgPpEZOK0U

A staff pick: @project_polis intern Anahita looks at narratives of modernity in relation to Iran. Be sure to read @project_polis ‘s related essays and reports on modernism including Ruby Hamad and Sharjeel Imam. Visit our website.

The massacre of Palestinians is now a routine. More than 400,000 Palestinians may already be dead. Palestinian journalists have long documented this Israeli state-sanctioned annihilation: by bullet, by hunger, and now by opioids. @project_polis centres Palestinian voices.
