We have to do something about the way the French revolution is taught in schools.

Like it's not even this person's fault, the revolution is taught in a way that sometimes feels like contemporary monarchist propaganda. Who gives a shit about a 10-day week man, way more important things happened.

My colleagues can no longer deny that this is genocide. We must follow our own U.S. laws. We need an Arms Embargo now.

I am Jewish. I live in the UK If anyone denies the Holocaust, I regard them as unspeakably vile & evil, as do most people Those who now deny the GENOCIDE in Gaza, I equally regard as unspeakably vile & evil PARTICULARLY I condemn any UK politicians and UK media who are GENOCIDE-deniers

No group, including Jewish people, is entitled to an ethnostate. Ethnostates inherently privilege one group over others, requiring the displacement, oppression, and extermination of other peoples to sustain such a structure. Zionism, as an ethnonationalist ideology, underpins the establishment and maintenance of Israel as a Jewish ethnostate, often at the expense of Palestinians- whether they are Christian, Muslim, or Atheist. Critiquing Zionism is not equivalent to critiquing Jewish identity or Judaism; it is an examination of a political ideology that has led to the systemic dispossession, displacement, and ongoing genocide against the Palestinians. The forced removal of Palestinians from their homes and the denial of their rights—both in the past and present—reflect the practical consequences of prioritising one group’s national aspirations over the existence and sovereignty of another. Ethnonationalism, regardless of the group promoting it, deserves scrutiny, as it directly fuels hatred, exclusion, violence, and the erasure of marginalised communities. Zionism is ethnonationalism. Ethnonationalism is inherently violent and hateful.

I'm 63. All my life I could not understand how so many ordinary people participated in or simply "went along" with the Holocaust It made no sense to me Seeing the attitude of so many comfortable people in the West to the GENOCIDE in Gaza, I feel that I now understand

Recently I have been travelling through northern Kurdistan, and have met with Kurdish people from all different kinds of backgrounds. They told countless stories of the current systematic oppression and repression they face – especially from the Turkish state –, as well as a history full of massacres. Destruction and exploitation of the nature – such as unlawful forest cutdowns, sacrificing zones for mining companies and fires – is one of the many tools used as part of the continuous attacks against the Kurds. This often leads to devastation of local communities and biodiversity as well as forced displacement. Erasure of culture and identity, state violence, political prisoners, forced displacement, ecocides and disappearances are just some examples of the discrimination people face on an everyday basis, as well as being denied the right to self determination and freedom. To build genuine bridges of solidarity in Turkey, autonomy and self-governance for Kurdish regions are essential. The Kurdish people deserve the right to shape their own lives, culture, and communities. Turkey must clarify its stance on the Kurds and other minority groups by enshrining their rights in the constitution. The government continues to use “terrorism” as a pretext to silence its political opponents. Tens of thousands of politically active individuals remain imprisoned without fair trials. International organizations such as the ECHR, UN, and Amnesty have condemned this and call for their release. For a sustainable peace and a just future, the Kurds’ right to freedom and autonomy must be respected and the violent attacks against Kurdistan must end. No one is free until everyone is free. Bijî Kurdistan! #bijikurdistan #freekurdistan #climatejusticenow

France is opening a box of pandora. If Netanyahu is immune because Israel isn't party to the ICC, then Putin is also immune. Then Bashir is also immune. Then Min Aung Hlaing is also immune.

White privilege doesn’t mean your life wasn’t hard, it means your race was not an obstacle. Glad I could clear that up for you.

These kids are heroes. They just walked into an Israeli army base, where they will declare they refuse to enlist in the destruction of Gaza and the occupation of the Palestinian people. @iddoelam @soul83563989

The theory that Hamas uses "human shields" has always been strange. Typically you use a "human shield" because you know that the other party won't dare shoot an innocent person. Israel has made it clear they're perfectly comfortable killing kids, so humans make a very bad shield.

I like this better than the dot airplane

yes because russian bombs don’t discriminate between Ukrainian leftists and those who aren’t

"Politics does not reflect majorities, it constructs them." — Stuart Hall

What the Dems offered America was undemocratic too. It wasn’t anti institutional, like Trumpism. But it was shallow on vision for the country, on communication, on engaging with what voters feel, on competitive candidates. When you serve voters a poor meal, they smash the plate.

Some more context you might not be aware of is that before the Treaty Principles Bill speeches began, Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke asked the Speaker for a speaking slot and was denied. Te iwi Māori will be heard! Illustration by Huriana Kopeke-Te Aho

Let the world see the haka isn't just for rugby games, graduations, weddings and funerals. Let them get a glimpse of its original intention and if it makes anyone uncomfortable to see it outside of those other contexts then stop using it. stop telling us that when you saw it

They are protesting a bill that seeks to reinterpret the country's founding treaty with Māori people and will result in less protection and rights for them.

He challenged Jim Crow in court and won—only to disappear 3 months later, never to be found. This is the world my parents and grandparents had to survive. It’s heartbreaking that mainstream American Christianity (evangelical & mainline) turned a blind eye/supported Jim Crow.
