‘What becomes of gender and sexuality amidst the collapse of the liberal world order?’ In this new essay for @WasafiriMag, I examine our current moment as one *after homonationalism*, where the sparse and vanishing wages of inclusion lie exposed. https://t.co/MO80uXaBh3

Wallace Shawn is trending, so it's a great time to read The Fever. It's a beautifully written monologue of the experience of being in the intelligentsia/middle class of the imperial core, and coming to terms with what that means for your way of life. Listen to an audiobook.

Perhaps it slips your mind that the crowds you see in the picture are not returning to anything — our homes and streets no longer exist. Everything has turned into emptiness, rubble upon sand. All that remains are the photos we’ve kept in our memories and on our phones, and a bit

The demolition of the towers in Gaza began just minutes ago. The occupation forces have blown up what was left of the Mushtaha Tower. They are now threatening to bomb and destroy what remains of the towers in Gaza. They want to completely wipe Gaza off the map. Even these

علبة الحليب هذه حلم كل الأطفال في قطاع #غزة، وحلم أمهاتهم وآبائهم أيضًا،لأن القدرة على توفيرها تعني أن طفلك الصغير لن ينام مكسور القلب بعد أن أنهكه البكاء طلبا لها، لأن وجودها يعني طفل شبعان لا ينظر بلوم وقهر لوالديه. سعر هذه العلبة في غزة (إن توفرت)=280 شيكل(85$) #غزة_تقتل_جوعاً

The worst day ever in this war on Gaza. Today, we didn’t eat anything… there is simply no food left in Gaza 😣. To the world, and to the Arab nations—you have abandoned us. You watched us starve, and stayed silent..

The UK has officially placed Palestine Action in the same legal category as ISIS. But this trajectory didn’t begin here, but in 2001 with the proscription of the military wings of Hamas and Hizbullah under the Terrorism Act, later expanding to their political wings, both of which

Just as it did in Gaza, Israel is now bombing universities in Iran. Subjugating the rest of the Middle East to its domination necessitates in its view not only the destruction of military capabilities but also the destruction of knowledge and education.

rarely seen a Met police statement more clearly intended to pre-emptively justify the violence it plans to carry out against a planned demo. it is v simple. @Pal_action is the most effective group here trying to stop Israel & UK's genocide of Palestinians. We must defend them.

In just the last 72 hours in Gaza: - A Palestinian girl shot by an Israeli sniper while playing on the beach. - A baby lying beside his amputated leg. - A girl begging her dead father to wake up. - Countless charred bodies pulled from rubble. Hell on earth.

THREAD: The death of Khamenei, by itself, is not enough to bring down the Iranian state. Netanyahu has claimed it would end the war, a view echoed by some who fear that his death would trigger the unraveling of the system. But this is based on a false frame of reference that
