京大で開催されたこのシンポジウムは全体を通して本当に充実した内容だった。特筆すべきことばかりで未だ頭の整理ができていないけど、個人的にはラディカ・デサイ氏の発表から聴き直してみたい。日本語吹替版でも聴けるので広く聴かれることを切に願います。拡まれー！#NeutralityStudies
How can scholars, journalists and citizens help prevent another world war? Well, just work on it.
Kyoto University Symposium 2026: "Geopolitics in the Time of Monsters"
Roundtable (Session 15): Plenary Discussion
In the closing Kyoto Symposium, we bring together seventeen participants to discuss practical paths toward peace. They explore public education, nuclear disarmament, economic inequality, political organization and dialogue across ideological divides. The discussion moves from individual proposals to candid disagreements about democracy, capitalism, nationalism and the psychology of conflict. Despite differing perspectives, participants consider how cooperation, honest debate and stronger networks can turn anxiety into collective action.
Participants:
Pascal Lottaz (moderator), Sheng Zhang, Dennis Riches, Warwick Powell, Alexander Mercouris, Nel Bonilla, Radhika Desai, Ulrike Guérot, Evarist Bartolo, Arta Moeini, David Gibbs, Mattias Desmet, Christopher Mott, Ivana N. Hughes, Hillary Briffa, Eric Golson and Aghogho Akpome.

Democrats must deliver popular, meaningful legislation to Trump's desk and dare him to veto it.
Dare him to veto a minimum-wage increase.
Dare him to veto a ban on price gouging.
Dare him to veto a ban on AI surveillance pricing.
You can't win what you don't fight for.

Settlers torched dozens of vehicles and hurled Molotov cocktails at homes during an attack on the village of Al-Lubban al-Sharqiya, southeast of Nablus, last night.

Lewis Hamilton visits the Rafah border 🇪🇬 to inspect aid meant for Gaza 🇵🇸
Lewis is forcing media to cover aid blocked from reaching Gaza 🇵🇸
Standing for the oppressed
There are those with elevated positions who are silent to genocide
Then there is Lewis
Shining a light.

Winter is hitting families in #Gaza hard, damaging shelters, community kitchens and food supplies.
WFP is providing food parcels, cash and hot meals, but funding cuts are reducing assistance when families need it most.

二大政党プロレス劇場の「最新話」はいま、「悪役トランプ」を追い詰めて歓喜しているシーンなのだと思うけど、「超党派」とはつまりこのこと⬇️。歓喜する向きには、共和党＝悪vs民主党＝善という二項対立が透けて見える。バイデン政権がジェノサイド大支援を始めてから３年が経つのに信じ難いことだ。

Lot of substance here. As opposed to the sound bites we get from Dems.
In case you missed it, yesterday, I introduced and read Articles of Impeachment against @SecWar Hegseth. Today, the House will take the first procedural vote on these articles.

Just so you know, some accounts are exploiting the suffering in Gaza by creating AI-generated content to solicit donations and pocket the money. One recent example shows children supposedly swimming inside a flooded tent.
What’s worse is that people blindly like and repost this content without taking a moment to verify its authenticity.
Stop amplifying suspicious AI-generated content. Stop giving these accounts attention, credibility, and money.
Verify before you share. Don’t let Gaza’s suffering become a business for scammers.

After a terrifying and heartbreaking night, thank God, we are still alive… We have survived another night. 💔
Yesterday, I went out to buy some necessities for my family, but suddenly, everything turned into a nightmare…
Heavy gunfire and artillery shelling erupted from every direction!
My wife, my daughter, and other family members were together in one place, while I was far away, watching from a distance, unable to reach them.
I cannot describe the terror I felt thinking about my wife and daughter… Were they safe?
Would I ever see them again?
What if something happened to them while I was helpless to protect them? 💔
More than two terrifying hours passed before I was finally able to reach my family safely.
This is our life in Gaza…
We go out to buy food, never knowing whether we will return to hug our children again.
Our lives are at risk every single moment.
All we wish for is to stay alive with our children.
Please keep me, my wife, my little daughter Rafif, and our entire family in your prayers.
Please, never stop talking about Gaza.
Don’t forget us as we struggle to survive another day. 💔🇵🇸🙏
These might be our last moments…💔😔
If we die, remember that we were not just numbers mentioned in the news.
We were souls with dreams, hearts with hopes, and stories that were left unfinished.
Don’t forget us in your prayers, and keep speaking about us, because behind every name there is a whole life that dreamed of living in peace.

I don’t think this administration is going to go quietly.
SCOOP: The Trump administration is considering an executive order that would list some nonprofit organizations as having terrorist ties, a move that would immediately suspend their tax-exempt status and cripple their operations.
Officials are reviewing an arcane law that would allow President Trump to use an untested part of the tax code and write an executive order declaring groups linked to terrorism. Those groups would then automatically lose their coveted tax-exempt status.

BREAKING 🇪🇸 Millions of workers have walked off the job in Spain's first general strike for 14 years.
The strike, called by the UGT and CCOO, involves 90% of workers in the automotive sector, 85% in the meat industry, 82% in waste collection, and 75% in the energy sector.

Jeffries may be spewing bs about this just being the “beginning” re Hegseth, but it’s *possible that he actually plans to impeach him — for things other than illegal wars, like gender stuff etc.
This would fit a long standing pattern of avoiding dealing with war in impeachment.
The Massie resolution was strong in terms of substance. The problems with it was that it should have happened earlier and didn’t include Trump etc.
I asked Hakeem Jeffries about attendance appearing decisive in the Pete Hegseth vote. (11 House Dems did not vote tonight.)
He told me and reporters: "I haven't had a conversation with anyone on the floor team about what may or may not have happened in terms of the Hegseth resolution, but this is not the end of it. It's just the beginning."
