Turtle doves and migrants travel across borders that neither wind nor birds recognise. One is protected, hunted and managed; the other detained, pushed back and left to drown. Both raise the same question: where is home when borders and climate make it impossible? #TurtleDove

At Malta’s Safi detention centre, men faced Mecca in Qiyam behind wire fences. “Their Adhan seemed to take flight, like birds do”. Outside, turtle doves cross the same Mediterranean, seeking fair winds and places to rest. f.mtr.cool/4mwljo4cw4

Across #Kashmir, fish kills are multiplying as sewage, waste, blocked water flow and rising temperatures degrade freshwater ecosystems. A 2020 expert panel found 70% of Srinagar’s sewage flows directly into Dal Lake, while residents stepped in to clean dying springs themselves.

More than 3,000 mature fish were reportedly lost in Kashmir’s Sukhnag River in May 2024. The designated trout stream prohibits mining, yet a company allegedly carried out illegal extraction worth over ₹500 crore (USD 52mn), destroying habitats . f.mtr.cool/an3ahovmic

But games are also a site of counter-strategy. From Billionaires and Guillotines to Spirit Island, Liyla and the Shadows of War and Under Ash, designers are building anti-fascist and anti-colonial worlds through play. #Gaming #FarRight #GamerGate #Playgrom @enricodeangelis.bsky.social

The deeper link between games and reactionary politics is not that games simply cause violence. It is a wider gamification of political life: win-or-lose meritocracy, scores and “achievements”, trolling dismissed as “just a joke”, and victims reduced to NPCs. @irgac-rls.bsky.social

Game designer and scholar Max Haiven uses the term “playgrom” for violent mob actions against minorities that are deeply embedded in gaming cultures. GamerGate became a defining example - and a social media playbook for the alt-right. f.mtr.cool/uzeafomryb @maxhaiven.bsky.social

Patrick Anthony reads Hezbollah’s FPV drone footage as a digital counter-archive of anti-colonialism: documenting invasion, fortifications and ecological and infrastructural warfare, while reframing armed resistance against colonial domination.

Punk, BDS, and Manga: How Palestinian Resistance Connected Japan's Fragmented Movements - Untold
Japanese BDS campaigns forced companies to cut weapons ties with Israel. Palestinian solidarity now connects punk, feminist, anti-nuclear, and anti-colonial movements. For activists, the memory of Hiroshima and Nagasaki makes Palestine's resistance their own

Today marks 81 years since the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, three days after Hiroshima’s anniversary. Sailor Kannako, grew up in Hiroshima, says: “I shout to take control of my life.” That refusal of silence later connected her to Palestinian resistance.

In 2018, around 6,500 Israelis lived in Cyprus. Turkish-language newspapers later estimated over 35,000 Israeli landowners, without disclosing sources. The investigation traces projects linked to Yakir Gabay, Shimon and Yaakov Aykut, and Uriel Kertesz.

Trump speaks Hobbesian power, Carney defends a Grotian rules-based order, and von der Leyen adds a Kantian appeal to shared humanity. The NFL, Canadian hockey, and European football reveal how those visions work when rules, rewards, force, and belonging are put into play.

From palm oil in Southeast Asia to phosphate from occupied Western Sahara and fishmeal from West Africa feeding salmon in Norway, the same logic holds: wealth and abundance in the Global North, extraction and ecological ruin elsewhere. This is food imperialism. @nealhaddaway.bsky.social
