Governing Crisis – Sanctions, Austerity and Social Unrest in Iran
Recent protests triggered by currency collapse and price shocks expose how sanctions have reconfigured state power, enabling austerity and insider accumulation rather than relief.

"What was incoming, however, was something new, a new era of even more privatized border and immigration enforcement and, if the sweeps of 2025 were any indication, an era of profitable violence."

Indonesia’s solution to climate, food, and governance? Send in the military to bulldoze rainforests. West Papua becomes collateral damage in a state-sanctioned eco-crime sold as “development.”
What does it mean "biofuel"? For instance this: 3mn hectares being deforested (and local inhabitants displaced) to make way for large-scale sugarcane coltivations in West Papua - all managed by the army.

On this Christmas Day, Israeli press reports that Georgetown has cut ties with Franceska Albanese after a campaign by a pro-Apartheid, pro-Genocide org specializing in canceling critics of Israel.

They can't win a single argument, so they rely on silencing people.

Cosa significa "biocarburanti"? Ad esempio questo: 3 milioni di ettari deforestati (e abitanti costretti a sfollare) per fare grandi piantagioni di canna da zucchero a West Papua, Indonesia - tutto gestito dall'esercito.

This is Gaza City, filmed by the @AP.

Complete destruction. This is what Israel, and its backers in the US, UK, and Germany, call "targeting bombing."

Gaza will one day recover.

The West's moral standing, however, will not.

Over 11,000 Palestinians from Gaza, mostly women and children, have disappeared since October 7. Their relatives don’t know if they’re dead or alive, trapped under rubble or detained in Israeli prisons — but they’re desperate to find answers.
