Proofs now in: very pleased to be able to announce that my first book will come out this summer with @degruyter_brill! I argue that the French Revolution and the First Empire witnessed a depoliticisation of citizenship, and this still affects the way we understand it today

I was once on a panel where I pointed out that a former Israeli official among the audience was personally directly responsible for the killing of my father The elitists in the room saw ME as the “extremist” for merely pointing this out & not the mass murderer on the loose Those charlatans are more mad about us posting pictures of our murdered children than with the literal murder of our children, because they wanna keep schmoozing with the murderers!

Oh fuck! What did they laugh about????? This is outrageous!!!! They laughed at the fact that there are so many slaughtered Palestinian babies that people can see on social media every day.

When the Tree of Life shooting happened, as with the attempted shooting in Halle, there was unified and uncontroverted condemnation and support. Now there’s inescapably a rush towards either cynical utilisation or denialist conspiracism

This is so depressing. It isn't a liberation if the revolutionaries are being re-arrested. Free Amer Matar now.
Prisons Museum - متحف السجون@prisonsmuseum

Press Statement from the Syria Prisons Museum At approximately 3:00 p.m. Damascus time on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, Syrian authorities arrested journalist and human-rights advocate Amer Matar, the founding director of the Syria Prisons Museum, at the al-Jdeideh border crossing. The arrest comes only days after the museum opened its space inside the National Museum in Damascus, a move that unmistakably targets freedom of expression and the memory of victims. The Syria Prisons Museum condemns this arrest in the strongest possible terms. Our colleague, Amer Matar—a former political prisoner in the Assad regime’s prisons and a key witness before the Koblenz court in Germany against members of the regime’s security services—has been a voice for survivors of detention and torture. His arrest is an act of reprisal devoid of any legitimacy. He was taken into custody unlawfully, in a manner that recalls the patterns of arbitrary arrest that marked the regime’s earlier era—practices we reject outright. Museum staff have been prevented from learning where he is held or which authority seized him, amid a total blackout regarding his fate. We hold the Syrian authorities, and the Ministry of Interior in particular, fully responsible for Amer Matar’s safety. We demand immediate disclosure of his whereabouts and the reasons for his arrest, and his prompt release. We at the Syria Prisons Museum reaffirm our commitment to defending freedom of expression and human rights in Syria. We regard the arrest of Amer Matar as a direct assault on the memory of victims and on every effort that seeks justice and dignity. Syria Prisons Museum Damascus – Berlin September 24, 2025

happening now: Israeli army raiding the house of oscar winner Basel Adra after Israeli settlers attacked his village earlier and beat up his family member. Soldiers could try to abduct Basel into one of Israel's prisons which are effectively torture sites

Palestinian boys shot in testicles as “target practice” —— Dr. Nick Maynard of Oxford University Hospital says Palestinian boys in Gaza suffered gunshot wounds in their testicles done deliberately by Israeli soldiers. "They admitted 4 teenage boys, 13 or 14 years old i think, who had all been shot in the testicles." "The pattern of targeting specific body parts was something we all recognize within our own specialties.” "It was a very stark pattern which could only have been explained by what i describe as target practice by the Israeli soldiers.”

@Tom_Gann ideally from the observation that a movement for liberation that relies on localised subjugation, even for strategic purposes, is a contradiction in political terms as well as moral.

@Tom_Gann Any serious political analysis, I think, has to recognise the concrete political situation at present — Israeli military paramountcy and the abject failure of the resistance — and begin afresh,

A genuine problem with the Greens is that even (especially?) their “left” is this sort of human rights discourse, enlightened imperialist, politicidal moralism.
