Je déteste Noël, par Paul B. Preciado
Noël est la période la plus stupide et vide de l’année. C’est cinq Black Friday à la fois : intrinsèquement raciste, patriarcal, nationaliste, binaire, anti-écologique.

The Trump administration has announced an initial $2b for U.N. humanitarian action around the world. This is a step in the right direction, but will barely scratch the surface of global need and continues to leave millions of lives hanging in the balance.

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela.

Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law.

Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

Humanitarian workers must be allowed to reach people in urgent need across Sudan.

Civilians must never be targeted. Aid convoys must never be blocked.

Respect for international humanitarian law is an obligation, not an option.

The US military has now reportedly struck at least 15 vessels in a made up “war” on “narco-traffickers.” These strikes are plainly unlawful under human rights law.
