❤️ We'd like to take a moment to remember the legendary filmmaker Chantal Akerman (1950-2015) today on her 75th birthday.

Thinking it’s Antisemitic to be adverse to 19 months of a live streamed Genocide & 100s of videos of children having their limbs Blown off is fucking deranged, no matter how you try & spin it. It proves also that you don’t regard a Palestinian life as a valid one.

I think of Caught by the Tides and Nickel Boys as the two films that’ve come along and completely blown the doors open for where cinema can now move for the coming decades (neither having anything to do with what ~AI~ can apparently do for filmmakers). Newness, possibility.

Black Panthers (1970), Directed by Agnès Varda.

There’s no more urgent conversation for this moment: Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor and asha ransby-sporn offer critical reflection on summer 2020 rebellion: “The pressing question is how we went from twenty-six million people on the streets to a fascist in the White House?” thedigradio.com/podcast/from-r…

Our struggles are intertwined.

Thoughts on Pynchon and the LA Riots.

Greta Thunberg landed in France and gave a short press conference.

Reporter: “Why do you think so many countries and governments around the world are just ignoring what’s happening in Gaza?” Greta Thunberg: “Because of racism.”

Liberals are always concerned with optics, never with structural violence.

you will sanction two members of a government *inciting* a genocide in the West Bank but not an entire colonial state *carrying out* genocide in Gaza and West Bank? Could that be because you and your government yourself have incited, supported and armed that genocide?

Game-changer if Mamdani wins. A socialist, Free Palestine mayor of New York, he would be under huge pressure from Trump, the Dems, Zionists . But it would change the parameters of resistance. politico.com/news/2025/06/1…

The story is not Iran’s or Israel’s missiles, but Israel’s ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing campaign against the Palestinian people that is the fundamental cause of all of this violence, which exists because the West offered Zionists land that was not theirs to offer

This is Avi Shlaim. He is Britain's foremost historian, academic and author on Israel. But guess what? Not once has the BBC invited him on to any of their programmes. He lives in Oxford. english.elpais.com/international/…

What an absolute cooking of Zionists on LBC big kudos

One potential consequence of the government branding PA as a terrorist group is that it may encourage elements of the far-right to physically attack anyone acting in solidarity with Palestine. But then who cares about more blood when there's paint to fret about?
