Ceasefire? Israel has already annexed more than half of the territory of Gaza. This is a war crime based on the UN Security Council Resolution 242 (S/RES/242) of November 1967.

Working on three essays:
1. Gramsci as a Communist intellectual and not as a cultural studies icon.
2. On Gramsci's grave.
3. On the Marxism of Defeat. Trying to excavate the Marxism of class struggle & not of desolation.
These are preparing me to write a book on the Marxism of National Liberation.

I really hope that the Irish people elect Catherine Connolly
@catherinegalway.bsky.social as president. She has shown her commitment to human dignity by not flinching on the imminent question of Palestinian life. Viva.

The United States is flying B-2 bombers next to the boundary of Venezuelan air space. This is a very serious provocation and contrary to international law.
And the @nobelprize.bsky.social committee is responsible.
If there is war, there is blood on the hands of the people in Oslo.

Nora Haddada at the Frankfurt Book Fair spoke of a 'discourse psychosis' in Germany that prevented an open condemnation of the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza. 'The shit is really going down', she said. 'Silence is just one step down from cowardice'.

Before apartheid Israel released the Palestinian political prisoners in the prisoner exchange, why did Israeli occupation forces raid and ransack the homes of these prisoners in Nablus (in the Balata & Askar al-Jadid refugee camps), in Salem, in Aqraba, in Zeita Jamma'in, in Hebron, & in Deir Samet?

Trump didn’t make the ceasefire. Resistance of the Palestinians ensured Israel couldn’t ethnically cleanse Gaza. Salute to the Palestinian people.
Continue the struggle to end the genocide, the occupation, and the apartheid state.

Bravery. Ugo Forno was only twelve in 1944 when he was killed by the fascists during his act of resistance at a railway bridge over the river Aniene. The memory of young children like Ugo compels us to courage in our time.
