Carton rouge pour les États-Unis : apparemment un scandale bien plus important pour Trump que le bilan désastreux pour les droits humains lors de cette coupe du monde 2026. La protection des personnes et leurs droits doit primer. Pétition : amn.st/63327BE6h5Z

This was an attempted lynching: 9 Palestinians and an Israeli were hunted by Israeli settlers with guns in Mughayyir al-Deir, occupied West Bank. All of them, including a 14 yo boy, were so badly injured they had to be hospitalized. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

I edited this episode. It's really powerful. Hearing Maram speak at length about her daily life in Gaza under Israeli siege and bombardment is just ... I don't know how to communicate how privileged we are to hear the stories of someone resisting genocide. We need to listen, we need to do more.
elia ayoub@ayoub.bsky.social · last yr.We spoke to Gaza journalist Maram Humaid about the many layers of Israel's genocide @thefirethesetimes.com. There was even an Israeli airstrike nearby during our recording. The full episode is available for free here www.patreon.com/posts/tftt-1... @fromtheperiphery.com

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

Une analyse fine des stéréotypes anti arabes de cette «vidéo » faite par IA et promue par le Président de la première puissance militaire du monde.
elia ayoub@ayoub.bsky.social · last yr.Note the sequence of events too: you only see Arab men at the beginning, as ‘terrorists’. Then the White men step in, the casinos are built, and the only Arabs you see are children and one ‘oriental’ woman dancing close to Trump. 🧵
As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

As always, @timothysnyder.bsky.social brings in some brilliant idea of resistance. But always in a positive way 👌 #ShadowCabinet
MaddowBlog@maddowblog.bsky.social · 2y agoLast night Timothy Snyder talked with Rachel about the idea of a shadow government to serve as a model and reminder of what is possible from a government of qualified people instead of Fox guests and family members. It came up twice, actually. Here's 1 of 2.
As 2025 is taking off and #Trump doomed inauguration will happen soon, I can’t stop thinking of Dylan Thomas’s poem : «Do not go gentle into that good night (…) Rage, rage against the dying of the light» We will have to rage, to fight this dying light. And choose humanity.
