Milei's government is a fascist4 regime that only survives by force of sticks, gas and bullets. There is no more time for resignation: popular rebellion is not only a right, it is a duty. Take to the streets before they take them away from us!

Palestine will only be free with the destruction of the Zionist settler colonial state.

Milei's regime shoots to kill and already has a name: #Guerrero, 1st Corporal, file 103208. A direct shot at #PabloGrillo who was documenting the repression against pensioners. Every crime of this regime is engraved in the popular memory. We do not forget. We do not forgive.

The powerful write history, but in my seminars we read it the other way around: from below, from the nobodies, from those who always pay the bill. Because learning is also an act of rebellion reddecolonial.hypotheses.org/seminarios

Germany, that laboratory where history tested its most perfect horrors, now applauds the monster reborn. 19.5% for the AfD: memory betrayed by those who swear to honor it. The ghosts did not die, they only learned to smile for the cameras.

I would like to present the new logo of our ‘’Decolonial Anthropology Network‘’ made by the great Argentinian artist ‘Luxor’. Join the network, let's create a world where all worlds fit: www.easaonline.org/networks/decolonial/

Germany’s election isn’t a shock—AfD’s surge is the rotten fruit of a far-right wave poisoning Europe. Capitalism’s collapse breeds fascists: anti-immigrant, anti-worker, pro-elite. We’ve seen this before—time to resist and fight back!

To remain silent in the face of the most sadistic colonialism in Gaza and Lebanon is to align oneself with the genocidal regime of Israel, it is to betray the damned of the earth.

While rubble, bodies and ancestral memories cover Gaza and Lebanon, the European "decolonial" academy, in its silence, seems to forget that decolonizing is not a slogan, but an act of struggle. To remain silent in the face of the most brutal colonialism is to align oneself with the oppressor

Israel regime defied #ICJ decision to cease hostilities in #Rafah. In an unprecedented act of barbarism it dropped 2,000 lb bombs more than 60 times in 48 hours burning people alive. Such sadistic and dehumanizing behavior evokes the worst of fascism.

The antidemocratic Javier Milei, in his eagerness to be the most subservient servile of the United States, makes a mocking version of his presidential coat of arms with AI. This is the result, the new official shield of the Argentine presidency.

#Biden administration's defense of Israel's genocidal regime brought imperialist violence to its own soil, militarizing universities and repressing students and faculty who rise up in resistance. The struggle is global, and solidarity knows no borders

Today the fascist government of Jmilei once again repressed community cooks, activists, journalists and photojournalists who demonstrated for food at the doors of the Ministry of Human Capital

West Belfast, Ireland, today.

Writing some reflections on anthropological archives, which are an authentic colonial thanatological device.

While activists, civil society, students and some professors raise their voices against the #PalestinianGenocide, the deafening silence of academic institutions reveals their complicity with oppression. This omission is synonymous with complicity in crimes against humanity.

The walls, the barbed wire fences, the lines that divide the land are ghosts that seek to control and discipline No more maps, only geographies that are reborn from the endless walk of struggle! No more borders, only the immensity of worlds where all the worlds to come can fit!

We cannot allow those who are complicit in the #Palestinian genocide to feel comfortable in any public space. We must make them feel the weight of the people's judgment, confront them in every instance and demand justice. Complicity deserves public repudiation and forceful action

The so-called "cease-fire" in #Palestine only masks the continuation of the occupation and oppression. Israel's colonial state must be dismantled and its apartheid regime must be ended.

Western "decolonial" academics build lavish theories on the ruins of indifference. How many more must die by bombs, bullets, displacement and famine on the altar of academic indifference before we break this complicit silence? #FREEPALESTINE

In #Palestine, apartheid is a cruel reality imposed by a colonial state that denies humanity and fundamental rights to an entire people. A #CeasefireNOW is urgent, but true justice will only come with the dismantling of the colonial state of Israel. #FreePalestine #EndApartheid

As I tweet, Israeli bombs raze homes, schools, hospitals, mosques and refugee camps in Gaza. Their genocidal regime forces displacement and starves the Palestinian people to death. Indifference and silence are part of this genocide. DO NOT SHUT UP! LONG LIVE FREE PALESTINE!

My North has always been the SOUTH

The government of @JMilei surrounded #CONICET with police and now announces the closure of #INADI. In this neoliberal regime, science and the fight against discrimination are sacrificed on the altar of profit and power. It is a desperate attempt to maintain the status quo

"The most accomplished form on necropower is the contemporary colonial occupation of Palestine" Achille Mbembe

In the face of Israeli soldiers' grotesque mockery of hungry Palestinians, scrawling messages of death on bombs as they feast, humanity recoils in horror.

The indifference of certain institutions towards the murdered colleagues in Gaza reflects their complicity in the perpetuation of colonialism, systemic oppression, Western supremacy and the prioritization of their political and economic interests over ethical and moral principles.

bz-berlin.de/berlin/mitte/pro-palaestina-protest-stoert-hannah-arendt-lesung… This article reveals a profound hypocrisy and ideological bias that perpetuates the dominant narrative of demonizing movements in defense of the Palestinian people.

Israel attacked the Red Crescent ambulance even after they'd cleared them to rescue Hind. The paramedics were killed. Hind is dead as well, and if you listened to the tapes you know she died terrified and alone sounded by the bodies of dead family. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/f...

Following the #ICJ verdict, US, Canada, UK, Finland, Australia and Italy decided to withdraw their funding to #UNRWA after Israel claimed that 12 of the agency's 30,000 employees took part in Hamas. This collective punishment is an explicit support to Israel's genocidal project

The German university has taken the art of omission, indifference and silence to new levels. Let us not forget that this is one of the most nefarious forms of complicity in the Palestinian genocide.

On Wednesday 31.01 I will have the great honor of giving a talk at the opening of the Amo Salon. If you are in Berlin and you have time and desire, come and join me!

Academic complicity is not neutrality; it is being complicit in genocide. The global call for academic boycott is the only just response.
