This was Copenhagen yesterday. The European establishment's abysmal failure on Israel/Gasa is not shared by the European public. The gap between the two is untenable. The public will eventually prevail, but Europe's moral collapse will take years to repair.

TL:DR - Britain loudly clowned itself because our politicians and media outlets are absolutely disastrous, and primarily focused on maintaining their own clout at everybody’s expense. If fooling ourselves that it’s Russia’s fault makes it easier to mitigate the damage then fine, fuck it, why not.

127,000 Papuans displaced in West Papua. Why? Because when Indigenous people stand in the way of mining, plantations and “development”, apparently the solution is to move the people. It’s not empty land. It’s their home. And they are being pushed out of it.

Today is a rare day where Twitter has more useful information than this website on a very important issue, so let's collate some of the ongoing discussions. 🧵 Here are the words straight from the mouth of a student organizer who went from interning for Mamdani to protesting him on the streets:
Wow. A student organizer leading protests against Zohran Mamdani tonight reveals that she previously interned for him.

Now she’s leading chants against the very politician she once worked for, accusing him of prioritizing his own political advancement over the people and movements that helped bring him to power.

She delivers an ultimatum: The protests can stop when Mamdani stops the sale of stolen Palestinian land in NYC and abolishes the CUNY Board of Trustees, which advances Israel’s interests within the nation’s largest urban public university system.

But she makes clear that she doesn’t expect him to deliver. In her view, Mamdani has become just another politician who makes promises to movements and then fails to meet their demands once in office.

What makes her testimony particularly significant is that she isn’t someone who opposed Mamdani from the beginning. She worked for him. She believed enough in his political project to participate in it. Now she’s publicly confronting him.

Her speech speaks to a broader frustration among people who placed their hopes in electoral politics as a vehicle for advancing Palestinian liberation. For some, the experience hasn’t strengthened their faith in political institutions. It has deepened their distrust.
