No no. No, we won't be doing that. We won't be brushing the last two years under the carpet just because there is a current ceasefire. This is appalling, Israel should not be allowed to participate until Palestine is free and Netanyahu is behind bars for war crimes, where he belongs.

A post on X by Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan
) expresses frustration, asking how anyone can read a definition of fascism and not be alarmed, emphasizing that it is happening now. The post includes a quote from Cody Johnston (@drmistercody
) from one day ago, defining fascism as a form of political behavior marked by an obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victimhood, and compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity. The definition describes a mass-based party of nationalist militants working with traditional elites, abandoning democratic liberties, and pursuing redemptive violence for internal cleansing and external expansion without ethical or legal restraints.

Ursula wrote in the introduction to this 1978 edition of Planet of Exile, “Once I was asked what I thought the central, constant theme of my work was, and I said spontaneously, ‘Marriage.’"

The 1978 Harper & Row edition of Planet of Exile has art by Dan Sneberger; it shows a hand rising out of a snowy landscape, grasping a long narrow rocket. The sky beyond the mountains in the background is a  rich orange shading into blue near the top.
