For my ENG speaking followers Unprecedented High School blockades began in the outskirts of Paris in Créteil on the 21st of Sept. National mobilisations followed on the 29th of September, the 1st and the 6th of October. The movement is ongoing and has spread both in scope and scale. #tippingpoint

Please look at the updated Google Maps satellite imagery of Rafah: maps.app.goo.gl/nkxomMi1d9zL... The total destruction goes all the way northwest to the sea, all the way up to Khan Yunis, where the destruction and killing continues today. It is all of southern Gaza. All of it.

This is really great reporting on joint US-Ecuadorian military operations against boats in the Pacific. But not sure it's the kind of reporting that's going to make people click AI-generated links for fishing charters.

Stories like this have, for ages, treated men's desire to harm women as a sort of background noise, a weather we just normalize and accept and try to work around. Feminism is among other things a process of denormalization.

Ditto. "Again, her being a true-believing social-democratic “humanist” was precisely what made it consequential, i.e., pacifying and diluting of certain forms of women’s rage, when she chose to prop up American imperialism, support Israeli settler colonialism, and normalize capitalism."
