The fisherfolk of Kutch fought to protect their sea.
The World Bank’s directors are deciding whether to act - or look away. Every message they receive counts.

A VERY GOOD IF SAD PIECE ON THE LATEST LEFT DEBACLE. DESERVES A WIDE READERSHIP. BUT WE MUST NOT GIVE UP.

“@JeremyCorbyn and @ZarahSultana must meet in person and they must do it right the hell now. And they must do it without hangers-on, face to face, just them.”

With @PSCupdates today calling on the UK to impose sanctions on the genocidal apartheid state of Israel & cancel the visit of Isaac Herzog — cited by the ICJ for genocidal intent & calls to exterminate Palestinians.
Together, we say loud & clear: war criminals are not welcome.

Just a reminder that the West destroyed Iran’s progressive democracy in 1953, deposing a leader beloved of the people, and installed a dictatorship in his place. The US and UK have been terrorising that country for as long as any of us have been alive. It’s sick.

What an Orwellian world we live in. Israel launches a clearly illegal and unprovoked attack on Iran, in violation of the U.N. charter, and with no imminent Iran attack in sight, or any Iranian nukes developed, and its western allies come out to say they reaffirm *Israel’s* right to defend itself, not Iran’s. The aggressor’s, not the victim of the illegal attack.
This, I guess, is the west’s ’rules-based international order.’
France has repeatedly condemned Iran’s ongoing nuclear program and has taken all appropriate diplomatic measures in response.
In this context, France reaffirms Israel’s right to defend itself and ensure its security.
To avoid jeopardizing the stability of the entire region, I call on all parties to exercise maximum restraint and to de-escalate.
Following the Israeli strikes on Iran and its nuclear program, I convened the National Defence and Security Council this morning.
All necessary steps will be taken to protect our nationals and our diplomatic and military missions in the region.
All measures will also be implemented to ensure the protection of our national territory and our fellow citizens.
France stands ready to work with all its partners to push for de- escalation in the Near and Middle East.
Today, I spoke with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, the King of Jordan, the President of the United Arab Emirates, the Emir of Qatar, the German Chancellor, the British Prime Minister, and the President of the United States.
Peace and security for all in the region must remain our guiding principle.

The final moments of this clip are extraordinary. What humanity and courage. "You don't ask the perpetrator of genocide their opinion on whether they are committing a genocide".
Thank you, thank you, thank you Dr @Tanyaalih for your courage, passion and eloquence.
Watch EVERY MINUTE of this extraordinary interview about the grotesque murder of 9 siblings in Gaza.
I just don't know how she holds it together. /1

I wrote about @sheenasumaria’s vital film on Gujarat, Even the Crows, in my book.
Her new documentary, The Fisherman and the Banker, is about a Gujarati Muslim fishing community's epic struggle against the World Bank in SCOTUS. Watch: vimeo.com/ondemand/thefisher…

After 14 years in the making, The Fisherman and the Banker is now available to stream!

No, the ceasefire did not collapse. Israel collapsed it, as they always planned. After two weeks of no supplies to 2 million Palestinians in Gaza, once hunger had returned, Israel unleashed its bombs once again. And so the genocide continues. aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/18…

The UK welcomes Ukrainians but shuts out Palestinians — even as UK-made weapons fuel their genocide.
Safe routes for some; moral panic and cruelty for others.
There’s a name for that: anti-Palestinian racism.

🧵I remember vividly the fall of Saddam Hussein and the fall of Gaddafi. Both were brutal dictators that caused an immense amount of suffering to so many. There are Syrian people today rightly celebrating the fall of Assad [1/7]
