Just like his adversary Putin, Erdoğan’s regime has detained its main political rival, the Mayor of Istanbul, and his team on fabricated charges. At the same time, it has slowed down social media and banned demonstrations in Istanbul for four days. A slow-moving coup is unfolding in Turkey.

Enemy Feminisms lays out how bourgeois feminism has been an active force for domination—fueling imperialism, policing, eugenics, white supremacy, and class rule. From 19th-century imperial feminists to today’s TERFs, “pro-life feminists,” and carceral “progressives.”

Symbols carry weight. In a world where Musk might throw a maniacal Nazi salute to toast his boss’s triumph frantically scheming to pile on hundreds of billions, I find myself drawn instead to this legendary person who gracefully decolonizes Superman. #DecolonizeSuperman

Bu nisan gibi Marmara yine salya kusacak. Küçük ölçekli balıkçıların göreceği zarar büyük. Bizler de yüzmeyi, vapur keyfini, denizden soluklanmayı unutabiliriz. Yine de deniz ölmedi hala. Her şeyin varlığını, fikrini, zikrini iliklerine kadar sömüren bu mütevacizkar yapı bir durdurabilse, yaşam var.

Marmara Denizi'nde yeniden ortaya çıkan müsilaj başka canıların yaşamına izin vermiyor. Prof. Dr. Mustafa Sarı, bianet için Erdek körfezine daldı ve atık çukuru haline gelen Marmara'yı görüntüledi.

Amid the countless Syrian lives lost, families shattered, and the tears shed by our Syrian friends, students, and loved ones, a glimmer of hope now emerges. May all authoritarian regimes be toppled. May a democratic tomorrow that ensures equality, rights, and coexistence for all be built in Syria.
