❝ Trump's Gaza 'Board of Peace' should terrify you. It's a template for the world - and Gaza is just the start. ❞ — @owenjones.bsky.social
Donald Trump needs helpers for his appalling neocolonialist project. What else is this ‘board of peace’? | Owen Jones
Blair, Putin, Erdoğan, Orbán: the names of those invited to serve say it all. And it’s about so much more than Gaza, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

Donald Trump has not assembled a “Board of Peace” for Gaza.

He has assembled a Board of Occupation.

The future of Gaza is not up to Trump, Blair or Netanyahu.

That is up to the Palestinian people.

Translating two beautiful novels into Turkish and enjoy getting to know two female writers; one is from Trinidad and Tobago, the other is from Canada. Sometimes simply feel blessed.

Same here.
Old Soviet joke: a man goes to a news stand every day and looks at just the front pages of all the newspapers. The guy behind the stand asks him what he's looking for.
"An obituary".
"But comrade,obituaries aren't on the front page!"
"The one I'm looking for will be."

So being against racism and fascism and standing with one’s community for self-defense is now considered a crime? Shame on UNC.

This is Dwayne Dixon. I know Dwayne and the students testifying to how great of a professor he is in the comments on Instagram are as shocked as I am.

Solidarity, now and forever.

“This is the most frightening moment of my life,” she added. "The only thing that has ever worked...is solidarity: binding together, finding bravery in numbers too big to ignore, and standing up for one another.”

Daha sonra kahve soğur
Daha sonra ilgini kaybedersin.
Daha sonra gün geceye döner.
Daha sonra insanlar büyür.
Daha sonra,insanlar yaşlanır daha sonra,ömür geçer.

Zohran Mamdani is saying things like “poverty is a policy choice and politicians have a duty to their constituents to make their lives affordable” and it is making a lot of politicians very very scared that they may actually have to start doing some actual service in their public service jobs.

Bütün savaşlardan sonra
birinin ortalığı toplaması gerekir.
Ortalık kendi kendini
toplayacak değildir ya.

Birilerinin çekmesi gerekir
molozları yolun kıyısına
ki ceset dolu arabalar
yol alabilsin.

- Wisława Szymborska
After every war
someone has to tidy up.
Things won’t pick
themselves up, after all.

Someone has to shove
the rubble to the roadsides
so the carts loaded with corpses
can get by.

-Wisława Szymborska, “The End and the Beginning” (t. Cavanagh & Barańczak)
