  • Our Feminist Future Includes a Liberated Palestine

    In thirty years, on some fall morning like today, we wake up and turn on the news. No one is talking about banning abortion or “legalizing abortion” because we don’t talk about wombs like they exist to be legislated around anymore. Instead they are announcing the closing of U.S. military bases in the Pacific, and […]

  • A Question for Women

    Dr. Frances Conley, 83, died recently. She was a professor at Stanford and one of the country’s only female neurosurgeons in the 1990s.

    Australian Officials Push Authoritarian Crackdown on Pro-Hezbollah Speech

    As Israel begins another invasion of Lebanon, Australian officials from both sides of the imaginary partisan divide have been falling all over themselves to get Australians punished for speech crimes about the Lebanese resistance group Hezbollah.

    Unrealisable Justice: Julian Assange in Strasbourg

    It was good to hear that voice again. A voice of provoking interest that pitter patters, feline across a parquet, followed by the usual devastating conclusion. Julian Assange’s last public address was made in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. There, he was a guest vulnerable to the capricious wishes of changing governments. At Belmarsh Prison […]

  • German Police Chase a 10-year-old Boy with Palestinian Flag in Berlin

    Seems Germany is doing whatever it can to descend into increasing irrelevance as a state. A video was circulated on social media showing German police chasing a boy, said to be 10-years-old, carrying a Palestinian flag during a pro-Palestinian protest in Berlin.
