Hoy es un buen día para recordar que este año se ha publicado este ambicioso libro sobre la dictadura franquista que, en mi opinión, se ha convertido ya en una obra de referencia actualizada, penetrante, reflexiva y muy bien escrita.

I've written a lot of songs, but this is one of my faves. Revisiting it today as I follow the horrifying news from #Gaza.

And they tell you it is weak to empathize
And they say you must ignore the mothers' cries
And they swear and swear that the fathers terrorize
But their words say colonize

For newcomers, here are some of the things I have written about in the last year or so.

Shortly after Israel began its brutal assault on Gaza, I wrote for @truthout.bsky.social about the absence of the entire idea of settler colonialism from corporate/establishment media coverage.
Corporate Media Outlets Are Obscuring Settler Colonialism in Their Gaza Coverage
