Yesterday in Istanbul, more than 570 people were detained for attempting to celebrate May Day publicly in Taksim, the heart of the city. Next time you see an anti-imperialist ally in Erdogan, can remember that.

Jason Hickel questions U.S. support for Israel's genocidal crimes against the Palestinian people. Shahram Khosravi imagines Iran one year after the bombs have stopped falling. Ayça Çubukçu examines how Western civilizational supremacy is under threat. 🔗 https://bit.ly/weekly-latest-articles
"And today, once again, from the genocide in Palestine to the attempted destruction of Iran along with Lebanon, we see in action what Du Bois called 'that chiefest industry — fighting,' which Rubio’s mighty civilization has excelled at." The WWI era is such a relevant precedent for our moment.

President Trump has criticized Europe for staying on the sidelines in the Iran war. But many European countries are quietly playing a crucial supporting role. www.wsj.com/world/europe...
Europe Is Quietly Playing a Crucial Role in the Iran War
European military bases are facilitating one of the most logistically complex operations the U.S. military has been involved in for decades.

The US/Israeli attack on Iran is neither legal nor legitimate. These states are fully responsible for the death and destruction to follow now.

Last night, we had the pleasure of being joined by Tareq Baconi to discuss his new book 'Fire in Every Direction'. In conversation with Mai Taha and @aycacu.bsky.social, they shared their thoughts on the themes of the memoir, including political consciousness, desire and displacement.
New essay responding to @aycacu.bsky.social’s talk on campism and internationalism at Historical Materialism last year. I agree with much of her critique but try to push further on what a different practice might look like from Britain, and from within the Fourth International tradition.

I think of Graeber and Wengrow's "The Dawn of Everything" every day. It's a long book so if you've been meaning to read it or simply can't read a long book right now – understandable – here's a lovely paper by Ayça Çubukçu about its principles & Graeber's work. eprints.lse.ac.uk/122719/1/Dav...
