Israel’s two-year assault on Gaza has left a catastrophic death toll that is even worse than most official estimates, according to European researchers. A study released on Tuesday estimates that “the current violent death toll” in Gaza is between 99,997 and 125,915.
Gaza Death Toll From Israeli Genocide “Likely Exceeds” 100K, Study Finds
The new research also found that Israel’s war led to a precipitous plunge in life expectancy in the Gaza Strip.

This is what our elite institutions, the country's largest companies, and law enforcement are busy capitulating to. But inspiring to me that it is friends, neighbors, and normies in what look to be pajamas who stand up against fascism in ways our leaders don't. We must remember both of these facts.

"In the Midst", the blog of the journal @criticaltimes1.bsky.social, publishes analyses of global authoritarianisms. The newest entry is by two of our members, Rosaura Martinez Ruiz and @danielloick.bsky.social, on the role of "surplus" or "waste" populations.
"By paying closer attention to the hatred of surplus populations in contemporary global fascisms, we can see another dimension of authoritarian domination: not just objectification—disposing the other—but also abjection, disposing of the other."

Die Wahlen in den Niederlanden sind kein Sieg der Linken. Es ist natürlich toll, dass der nächsten Regierung vorraussichtlich keine Rechtsextremen mehr angehören werden. Aber insgesamt hat das rechte Lager nur leicht verloren, während das linke Lager so schwach ist wie noch nie in der Geschichte.

We would all do well to insist that people are *migrantized* - they are made into “migrants” in order to create a group who is to be subordinated.
We need to abolish the categories of citizen and migrant - and the difference they justify.
