As support for Palestine has grown around the world, another question has become increasingly urgent: what kind of solidarity is actually being built? As Yara Hawari puts it: “The level of global complicity is what makes Palestine central.” // @alshabaka.bsky.social

The question, past and present, is not whether the United States should infringe upon Mexican sovereignty, but how much, and how it should calibrate and determine the scale and form of said infringements.

The United Kingdom increasingly resembles a nation unable to define itself in the present tense. As nationalism shapes the latest electoral cycle, tensions over sovereignty, unionism and national identity continue to expose the fragility of the British political structure.
