    Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley). Julian Assange is a journalist who’s been imprisoned for doing journalism on war crimes, by an empire that claims to defend journalists and oppose war crimes.

  • Weaponised Antisemitism Crushed the Political Left:  Now it’s the Cultural Left’s Turn

    What does it mean to be antisemitic in modern Britain? The answer seems ever more confusing. We have reached the seemingly absurd point that a political leader famed for his anti-racism, a rock star whose most celebrated work focuses on the dangers of racism and fascism, and a renowned film maker committed to socially progressive […]

    Norman Finkelstein: A National Treasure?

    Among the most dangerous people in the US are those who actually once fervently believed the foundational myths of the country’s social and political order.

    Mired in Opportunism

  • The Appalling Silence of the Good People

    Time itself is neutral; it can be used either destructively or constructively.

    Politically Conditioned Funding in Palestine

    Over the last two decades, funding in Palestine has become tied to ever-increasing restrictive conditions that are used to control and limit Palestinian civil society. We partnered with Al- Shabaka and Badil to produce the visual illustrating how restrictive funding supports Israeli colonial policies, depoliticizes Palestinian society, criminalizes resistance to Israeli colonization, and thwarts Palestinian […]

    According to this article: “Chile’s Atacama Desert, the driest desert in the world, has been a dumping ground for fast fashion leftovers.
