The Trump administration is trying to gut one of the strongest laws protecting tribal sacred sites, burial grounds, and ancestral lands. Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act has worked since 1966. Now a handpicked Council voted to rewrite it..in one week. Here's what at stake.👇

Very sorry to hear about Betye Saar who has died four days short of her 100th birthday. Amazing artist. Saw this recently. The ironing board is printed with the famous Brookes slave ship plan, the sheet monogrammed KKK. A whole history of labour right there.

Some of the favorite pieces we published started with an in-person conversation. This is the case of this text by Micol Meghnagi after a few days spent together in Bethlehem in March 2026. Just like this issue is not, per se, an issue against the concept of the Global South but,

I remain surprised how few people credit Occupy Wall Street's ongoing impact(s) on U.S. politics. There's no Mamdani without Occupy etc... [some people are also irrationally anti-Occupy but that's for another day]

Following an initial article by Onesphore Sematumba in our 61st issue (September–October 2025), we continue to explore the various complexities of the war in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

One of the critiques we can make of the concept of Global South is the flattening of any regional specificity and the invisibilization of colonial domination committed by states such as the Indonesian, Sri Lankan, Moroccan, or Indian ones (to name only a few).
