Remarkable document: hundreds of European politicians are calling to mobilize European resources to protect the Sumud aid flotilla as it faces escalating attacks on its way to Gaza.
In other words: European politicians are trying to protect humanitarian volunteers *from Israel.*

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

Suddenly Alaska is the neutral ground for this big meeting between Putin and Trump. Please remember the history of Alaska as a borderland in the North Pacific- centered in WWII Pacific history and the long Cold War consuming most of the 20th century. Remember Indigenous perspectives for all wars
