probably my most deeply-held belief: it is not possible for a slide deck to be both (1) a good presentation aide; and (2) a standalone document that can be read and understood in isolation.

America has tons of fancy academics and pundits explaining the complexities of US foreign policy to us. But in all seriousness, 90% of it is about a fear that some brown people are being disobedient out there on the hazy horizon, and this makes our tummy hurt.

We deserve to know the full scale of this government’s complicity in crimes against humanity.

My piece for @theguardian.com on why I’m tabling legislation tomorrow for a full, independent, public inquiry into the UK’s role in the Gaza genocide.

The cross-ideological anti-woke coalition should take more credit for setting the current administration's priorities.
The FCC has alerted the Walt Disney Company and its ABC unit that it will begin an investigation into the diversity, equity and inclusion efforts at the media giant.

Etonnant silence en France sur la brutale rupture du cessez-le-feu à Gaza par l’armée israélienne, avec l’assentiment des Etats-Unis. Il est la traduction la plus spectaculaire du relativisme trumpien qui se généralise. Devenons-nous insensibles aux massacres ?

Par @thomas-legrand.bsky.social :
Ukraine, Gaza : devenons-nous insensibles aux injustices, aux massacres ?
En France, tous les responsables devraient s’insurger contre les atteintes au droit international dont est notamment responsable Benyamin Nétanyahou. Ils sont comme tétanisés à l’idée d’être mis dans le même sac que LFI et ses dérapages.

First they came for the socialists, and I spoke up by explaining that the socialists' views disgusted and horrified me as I went on about this for three long paragraphs before one sentence at the end saying I guess I thought the socialists probably had the right to have those views
