1/ Don’t trust anyone who claims “Palestinian & Israeli lives are intertwined.” No they aren’t. Israel is a genocidal settler colonial ethnostate illegally squatting on stolen Palestinian land. Israel should not exist & Palestinians should be free to determine their own future.

Excellent and wide ranging interview with Maura Finkelstein ( @mauraf.bsky.social ). She makes the point that nothing is going to change until we all engage in material buy-in as well as ideological buy-in. It's a tall order for consumer citizens but she's right.

Our latest Special Issue includes a beautifully reflexive article by @mauraf.bsky.social 'Work Cannot Save Us but Let's Still Try: Labor, Utopias, and Futurity at an Equine Therapy Farm' which argues that "workspaces cannot save us, in terms of any liberatory potential under capitalism."
