A German Journalist’s ‘Civil Death’

Hüseyin Dogru is not given to histrionics or self-dramatizations, if this is what you’re thinking. He has been on the E.U.’s (increasingly long) sanctions list since May 20 of last year. While Dogru joins others dedicated to the truth of our time and the defense of their own integrity, he is the first E.U. citizen to be sanctioned and the first journalist to land on the list because of his work.  What is Dogru’s crime? Don’t ask: He has not committed one, has not been charged with one, and has not been permitted any opportunity to respond in court to those accusing him of … of practicing his profession and exercising his rights to free expression. 

Poland Rejects ‘Unofficial’ US Request To Redeploy Patriot Batteries To West Asia

Poland has rejected an “unofficial” US request to deploy one of its Patriot air defense systems to West Asia, Polish Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz announced on 31 March, following reports by Polish daily Rzeczpospolita that Washington had informally approached Warsaw amid rising regional tensions. “Our Patriot batteries and their armaments are used to protect Polish airspace and NATO’s eastern flank. Nothing is changing in this regard and we are not planning to move them anywhere!” Kosiniak-Kamysz stated. He added, “Our allies are well aware of and understand how important our tasks are here. Poland’s security is an absolute priority.”

‘Kuffiyehs In Buchenwald’ Campaign Challenges Germany’s Anti-Palestinian Culture Of Remembrance

For more than ten years now, Germany has seen a large-scale campaign against alleged antisemitism that in reality targets nothing more than criticism of Zionism – or even criticism of Israeli policy. This campaign has been driven primarily by the major political parties, the mainstream media, and several foundations, and initially focused above all on the arts and cultural sectors. Those targeted included the Cameroonian historian Achille Mbembe, the U.S. philosopher Judith Butler, the Israeli sociologist Moshe Zuckermann, the former director of the Jewish Museum Berlin Peter Schäfer, the British musician Roger Waters, and the late Syrian artist Burhan Karkutli.

Meet The Tech Workers Organizing Against Their Employers

N, like many of her colleagues at Google, began working at the company out of a desire to make a comfortable living and do a little good in the world. (N is speaking on the condition of anonymity as she is not authorized by her employer to speak to press). She had high hopes that by working there she’d gain a salary that would allow her to live well, use her skills as a program manager and take advantage of the opportunity to work somewhere that was “positioned really well to provide all these different services at a free level, for people to be able to connect with each other, to be able to find their way around the world, to do all kinds of productive things.”

ICE Wants Unpaid Volunteers; The US Military Is At A Breaking Point

In a shocking revelation straight out of a dystopian satire, the Pentagon has quietly begun asking civilian employees to volunteer for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Framed as a “critical support” opportunity, these emails treat immigration enforcement like firefighting—inviting ordinary citizens to sign up for unpaid weekend shifts to assist with ICE operations. Lee Camp’s latest episode of Unredacted Tonight exposes the disturbing reality: this is not harmless civic engagement—it’s a blueprint for “volunteer fascism.”

South Asia In Severe Economic Crisis Due To US-Israeli War On Iran

The US-Israeli war on Iran began over a month ago. The attacks by the US and Israel have killed over 2,000 Iranians, displaced tens of thousands, and targeted Iran’s civilian infrastructure like schools, hospitals, and recreation centers. Casualties from Iran’s retaliatory attacks have also been reported in the neighboring Gulf states and in Israel. But beyond the direct death and destruction, the war has had global impacts, causing a dramatic increase in the price of crude oil, effectively shaking up the entire economy. The neighboring South Asia region has been the primary recipient of the knock-on impacts of the war.

Russian Oil Tanker Brings Help For Cuba

Streets and hospital corridors at night in Cuba are dark. Cars and buses don’t move. Cubans walk or ride bicycles. Trucks don’t arrive to remove trash, and so it burns. Offices, production units, and operating rooms are closed down. Older people and babies are dying when they shouldn’t have to. It’s been more than three months since a regularly scheduled oil tanker arrived in Cuba’s ports, with all incoming energy shipments halted since the U.S. government on Jan. 29 imposed punishing tariffs on any nation sending oil to Cuba. Finally, this past weekend, came a reprieve

Trans People Behind Bars Share How They Navigate The Dangers Of Visibility

Today (March 31) is International Trans Day of Visibility, a day to celebrate the resilience and accomplishments of transgender people worldwide. The extraordinary accomplishments — in law, art, and beyond — of incarcerated trans people tend to receive far too little celebration. Yet many trans people in prison keep fighting for their communities, in environments where they often face violence, solitary confinement, loss of needed health care, and punishment for self-expression. Visibility can be fraught. In prisons, where staff may forcibly — and legally — strip people as a routine security precaution, visibility can be even more loaded than in the outside world.

North Philly Has A New Option To Invest In Its Future

Yazmin Auli’s neighbors in North Philly were the first to believe in El Coqui Panaderia y Reposteria. After almost two decades, 28 employees hired and millions of loaves of pan sobao, Auli is excited to be investing back into that same community. Literally. In December, Auli opened up new accounts for herself and for her bakery at Finanta Credit Union, which had just opened its first branch in Philly just a five minute drive from El Coqui’s location at the Harrowgate Plaza shopping center. She’s moving the bakery’s everyday banking out of the big bank that’s been charging her for daily operations like making change.

Forests, Climate Emergency, And The Undoing Of Mastery

This article develops a philosophical and ecological argument for proforestation, understood as allowing existing forests to grow into their full ecological complexity, as a response to the climate emergency. It critiques the dominant human-centred framing in proforestation and forest–climate debates, in which forests appear primarily as carbon sinks, assets, or nature-based solutions deployed to stabilize the climate for human benefit. Drawing on ecological research, the paper shows how proforestation supports rich habitats for trees, animals, fungi, bacteria, pollinators, and insects, emphasizing the importance of old-growth structures, deadwood, soil microbiomes, and mycorrhizal networks.

International Citizen Solidarity Is Strong For Cuba; Nations Turn Their Backs

As 700 international solidarity citizens visited Cuba last weekend, Cuban-American Secretary of State Marco Rubio smirked at the humanitarian disaster his and Trump’s policies were wrecking on Cuba, as small island nation of 9 million people only 90 miles off the tip of Florida. Rubio had  predicted the Cuban government would fall from the disastrous policies, particularly the blockade of fuel to the island. But Rubio’s plan was partially upended on Sunday night, March 29, when President Trump decided to allow a Russian oil tanker carrying 100 tons of oil to deliver it to Cuba.

Israel Is Making Sure Trump Can’t Find An Off-Ramp In Iran

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must have persuaded Donald Trump that a war on Iran would unfold much like the pager attack in Lebanon 18 months ago.  The two militaries would jointly decapitate the leadership in Tehran, and it would crumble just as Hezbollah had collapsed - or so it then seemed - after Israel assassinated Hassan Nasrallah, the Lebanese group’s spiritual leader and military strategist. If so, Trump bought deeply into this ruse. He assumed that he would be the US president to "remake the Middle East" - a mission his predecessors had baulked at since George W Bush’s dismal failure to achieve the same goal, alongside Israel, more than 20 years earlier. 

Psychoanalysts Are Resigning From The International Psychoanalytical Association

Psychoanalysis understands, better than most disciplines, that silence is never neutral. What is not said does not disappear but returns, distorted, in symptoms. Freud called this the return of the repressed and built an entire method on the insight. What, it is worth asking, is the International Psychoanalytical Association’s (IPA) silence on the genocide in Gaza a symptom of? We are the Palestine Mental Health Networks, a collective of mental health professionals from twenty-three countries, brought together by our commitment to psychoanalytic principles and the fundamental dignity of all human beings — a category from which Palestinians are often excluded.

Israel And US Pressure Syria’s Ahmed al-Sharaa To Join War

Openly declaring its intent to illegally occupy southern Lebanon, Israel finds itself in a costly ground battle with Hezbollah, from which there are indications Syria may soon be roped in. This is born from the understanding that in order to successfully weaken the Lebanese resistance, the Israeli military must penetrate the Bekaa Valley area. Understanding the costly price of attempting to physically take all of south Lebanon militarily, both Washington and Tel Aviv have been attempting to devise strategies that would help achieve Israel’s war goals of weakening Hezbollah. 

The Commune And Popular Sovereignty In Times Of Imperialist Siege

I write these lines at a particularly difficult moment for Venezuelan sovereignty. The imperialist attack of January 3 and the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and Congresswoman Cilia Flores marked a new escalation in an aggression that now spans more than twenty-six years against the Bolivarian Revolution. This is not an isolated episode. It is a new chapter in a broad and multifaceted strategy aimed at taking away the Venezuelan people and government’s power of decision and, ultimately, reversing the political path inaugurated in 1999.
