The Strokes perform “Oblivious” from their second EP Future Present Past at Coachella Weekend 2 with a poignant backdrop, highlighting, assassinations, and coups, Gaza’s last standing university reduced to rubble, and the racism and violence stitched into history.

There are few things that haunt me more than someone dying this young. Her essay on coming to terms with her mortality was one of the more gorgeous things I’ve read, and a reminder how lucky we are to be here. RIP.

[Simon Schama @simon_schama]

the whole essay is one of the most extraordinary (and certainly the bravest) things I have ever read; profoundly moving.

David Graeber was right - the 'free market' is an article of faith, not a system sustained by empirical evidence and honest analysis. He was also right that because it produces relative poverty and needs the state, 'free' is a misnomer. But underneath this is a fundamental contradictory logic. While proclaiming the market as the site of freedom, its advocates celebrate its ability to 'discipline' all actors from the individual through the nation to the global economy. The 'free market' decrees that no unprofitable collective activity crucial to our well-being should exist. The 'free market' is the most rigid and grossly demoralising authoritarian power we have ever lived under. https://t.co/9ey80wxr2E

Sally Rooney might become unpublishable in the UK because she donates royalties to a protest group targeting Israeli arms factories.
They call it “counterterrorism,” when in fact it’s the state criminalising dissent, shielding an arms industry, & punishing an author for her politics. A democratic red line has seriously been crossed. Britain is actually criminalising solidarity to protect Israel’s arms industry.

No es uno, son cuatro los jueces de la Corte de La Haya sancionados por Trump en febrero por autorizar las órdenes de arresto contra Netanyahu y Gallant. Como conté en su momento, esto iba a dificultar mucho su día a día y su trabajo.

En esta entrevista uno de ellos, Nicolas Guillou, relata que estas sanciones le impiden cualquier relación, cobro, transacción con EEUU. Pero no solo.

No puede tener cuentas con ninguna empresa de EEUU: Google, Amazon, Apple, etc. No puede hacer reservas de hotel con Expedia, por ejemplo, ni usar tarjetas de crédito como Visa, Mastercard o Amex, ni acceder a servicios bancarios normales, ya que los bancos de todo el mundo cierran las cuentas sancionadas ni realizar prácticamente ninguna transacción financiera.

Europa coopera con EEUU para sancionar en Europa a un ciudadano europeo -el juez Guillou- y a otros como él. Bancos europeos cierran sus cuentas, empresas europeas le niegan servicio, instituciones europeas no reaccionan mientras EEUU persigue a un juez europeo y ataca la aplicación del derecho internacional.

Lo mismo ocurre con la relatora de la ONU, Francesca Albanese. El otro día me decía: “Estoy consternada por cómo han reaccionado los Estados ante algo tan grave. Me han dejado sola, mientras permiten que EEUU se comporte como un abusador puro y duro” (Enlace en el siguiente tuit)

In a normal world, this should be an immense scandal in Europe.

Le Monde has a long article (https://t.co/HsWFThQ5wF) describing the hellish life of Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the ICC in The Hague, due to U.S. sanctions punishing him for authorizing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant for war crimes in Gaza.

Guillou's daily existence has been transformed into a Kafkaesque nightmare. He cannot: open or maintain accounts with Google, Amazon, Apple, or any US company; make hotel reservations (Expedia canceled his booking in France hours after he made it); conduct online commerce, since he can't know if the packaging is American; use any major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex are all American); access normal banking services, even with non-American banks, as banks worldwide close sanctioned accounts; conduct virtually any financial transaction.

He describes it as being "economically banned across most of the planet," including in his own country, France, and where he works, the Netherlands.

That's the real shocking aspect of this: the Americans are:
- punishing a European citizen
- for doing his job in Europe
- applying laws Europe officially supports
- at an institution based in Europe
- that Europe helped create and fund

and Europe is not only doing essentially nothing to protect him, they're actively enforcing America's sanctions against their own citizen - European banks closing his accounts, European companies refusing him service, European institutions standing by while Washington destroys a European judge's life on European soil.

Again, in a normal world, European leaders and citizens should be absolutely outraged about this. But we've so normalized the hollowing out of European sovereignty that the sight of a European citizen being economically executed on European soil for upholding European law is treated, at best, as an unfortunate technical complication in transatlantic relations.

hoy pensaba que 2013 es un año en el que me hubiese gustado ser adolescente; había internet pero en su justa medida, lo digital era aún un entorno y no una estructura y de repente te levantabas un día cualquiera y salían estos discazos hoy injustamente vapuleados por los giles.

it's easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident."
