I've been discussing the Malvinas/Falklands a lot. Some strongly believe that it is ironic for anticolonial leftists to defend Argentina's position because in this context it would be the colonialist imperialist side. I push back against that claim here: opiniojuris.org/2026/04/30/t...

The very idea of the "target" has been rendered meaningless in the post-Gaza world. Targets are no longer encountered or searched, they are manufactured, industrially, digitally, with AI, as a means to hide the carpet bombing of civilians in war.

UN Charter self-defence is a product of the post-WWII order. It assumes that if you bomb someone they can retaliate Pre-emptive strikes are a product of the post-9/11 order. They assume that if you bomb someone they can't retaliate So they break down when someone actually does

The Twitter fascists don’t understand those they hate. British Muslims just voted for a working white woman dog-breeder led by a gay Jewish man who defends trans rights. Meanwhile, the Twitter fascists are accusing Muslims of wanting to ban dogs and force burqas on women.

There’s a special kind of knot in your throat that comes with being a migrant in Britain today, the kind that always stays in the back of your mind. I’m forever indebted to the Greens for making it go away in a sigh of relief at least for one night. Onwards to the next! 💚

Lol Ah the made up world fascists live in... this is not a left-right issue. Everyone in the Spanish-speaking world sees América as a continent. In fact, several countries even use “estadounidense” (United-Statian). This is about history and cartography. Plus, before 1898 loads of Americans agreed

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Sigh. I feel so out of step with the ongoing Bad Bunny Revolution bc I disagree. Lots of things are more powerful than hate other than love. Community, solidarity, joy, hope, empathy, friendship, hell even anger… hate is actually a pretty weak mortar.

Moisés is absolutely correct here. Delcy Rodríguez’s puppet government is the result of an act of aggression that entrenches a violation of the Venezuelan people’s right to self-determination. States have a duty *not* to recognise it and call for respect of the 2024 elections
