Radical politics today should not be concerned with merely averting the worst but rather with beginning again at the end.

“While anti-natalism is thus relentlessly pessimistic about ‘life,’ it is eerily silent about the profit system responsible for specific kinds of life-making.” @benjamin_ware on the problems with anti-natalism and the emptiness of opting out.

"@benjamin_ware is asking for us to imagine—to internalize—the reality of human finitude, the end of us. Only then, he suggests, will we be able to take in the full horizon of what we’ve wrought and, perhaps, move forward into a new and radical version of our shared future."

Absolutely chilling words from @UNReliefChief Martin Griffith that really put into perspective just how historically atrocious what's happening in Gaza is:
"The. Worst. Ever. And I don't say that lightly. I mean I started off in my twenties dealing with Khmer rouge and you remember how bad that was. But 68% of the people killed in Gaza are women and children. They stopped counting the number of children killed. Nobody goes to school. Nobody knows what their future is. Hospitals have become places of war. No, I don't think I have seen anything like this before. It's complete and utter carnage."
“The worst ever.” Those are the stark words of @UNReliefChief Martin Griffiths, about the death and destruction in Gaza. Having worked in the field for decades, he adds “I don’t say that lightly.” Watch our full conversation.

"The slogan’s power stems from its rejection of occupation and apartheid. Refusing to make sense of colonial dispossession, it announces a future liberation, a world where the freedom of some isn’t premised on walling off and imprisoning others." versobooks.com/blogs/news/fr…

Do Palestinians have the right to resist? The unequivocal answer is yes
Throughout history, subjugated people, from Spartacus to anti-colonial fighters, have claimed this fundamental right for themselves. frontline.thehindu.com/world…
