We are about to witness the complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza. Another genocide. Future historians will ask how it is possible that we all knew about it, yet did nothing. But we already know the answer: we have allowed that a people was completely dehumanized. Again. www.axios.com/2025/05/05/i...

My prediction is that the vast majority of this money will go to scientists who are not really targeted in the U.S. Rather, it will go to U.S.-based scientists whose (lavish) budgets were cut…. just like their colleagues in many European countries!

Update #Serbien: Vučić war in die USA gereist und hatte wohl auch eine hohe Summe gezahlt, um sich aus strategischen Gründen mit Trump vor Ort zu treffen. Die Chefin von Trumps Büro hat ihm aber den Zugang zum Anwesen in Florida verweigert. Vučić reiste dann zurück, weil plötzlich krank und so.🤡 1/3

This, yes. Also reminds me of how these claims about the "feminisation of the state/society" are often made in relation to the welfare state, which took on part of the (previously unpaid) care work typically performed by women (then leading to various arguments about said "feminisation".)

PM Orbán is tightening control ahead of the 2026 election: intimidating critics, banning Pride, allowing the use of facial recognition. These moves aren't unique. We've seen them in Russia, Turkey, Serbia - now they enter the EU. My piece for @gmfus.bsky.social ⤵️ www.gmfus.org/news/authori...

Absolutely insane. Uneblieveable. "Sex Matters", one of the hate groups responsible for removing trans people's rights via the Supreme Court are arguing that trans people shouldn't be allowed to transition because they don't have rights and not having rights is bad. Fucking hell

Urgent!! Idiots arrested my colleague from FTN (biggest college in Serbia, Novi Sad) under the pretense of him attacking the dean in Novi Sad, which is of course false. You saw the videos I have on my profile. This is only one of many arrested students. For no bloody reason.

For real apparently: "Serbia’s [authoritarian] government has restricted the time academics can spend on research to just five hours each week" This is not compatible with EU Membership and since Vučić's #Serbia is an autocratic mafia state, beyond time EU accession negotiations are suspended

These are negotiations about a ceasefire. It is insane to give these kinds of concessions before the negotiations about a final peace settlement even begin. One has to wonder what Russia will expect to get at that point.

NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.

I'm repeating myself. This regressive womanhood currently being defined is an assault on the rights of ALL women. It has always been the covert aim of racialised heteropatriarchy; cis conduits of patriarchy are falling for it. Resist gendered roles. Chores & care are a collective task for community!
