Happening this week @koebenhavns_uni: the international conference“Religious embodiment and conversion practices in early modern Europe and beyond, 1500-1800” ✨
Proofs now in: very pleased to be able to announce that my first book will come out this summer with @degruyter_brill! I argue that the French Revolution and the First Empire witnessed a depoliticisation of citizenship, and this still affects the way we understand it today
Just out, @seph1812 Sam Harrison's alternative to the Urvater of dignity: Mary Wollstonecraft as the “Mother of Human Dignity” | Hypatia | Cambridge Core - https://t.co/dtbKF2tr9F
I was once on a panel where I pointed out that a former Israeli official among the audience was personally directly responsible for the killing of my father
The elitists in the room saw ME as the “extremist” for merely pointing this out & not the mass murderer on the loose
Those charlatans are more mad about us posting pictures of our murdered children than with the literal murder of our children, because they wanna keep schmoozing with the murderers!

Carlson says Charlie Kirk’s Israeli donors “tormented him until the day he died.”
happening now: Israeli army raiding the house of oscar winner Basel Adra after Israeli settlers attacked his village earlier and beat up his family member. Soldiers could try to abduct Basel into one of Israel's prisons which are effectively torture sites
To be clear, the wording is weaselier than this -- they only say they have not concluded that it is genocide, not that they have concluded it is not. Leaving themselves plausible deniability while breaking their own laws
Palestinian boys shot in testicles as “target practice”
——
Dr. Nick Maynard of Oxford University Hospital says Palestinian boys in Gaza suffered gunshot wounds in their testicles done deliberately by Israeli soldiers.
"They admitted 4 teenage boys, 13 or 14 years old i think, who had all been shot in the testicles."
"The pattern of targeting specific body parts was something we all recognize within our own specialties.”
"It was a very stark pattern which could only have been explained by what i describe as target practice by the Israeli soldiers.”
@Tom_Gann ideally from the observation that a movement for liberation that relies on localised subjugation, even for strategic purposes, is a contradiction in political terms as well as moral.
@Tom_Gann Any serious political analysis, I think, has to recognise the concrete political situation at present — Israeli military paramountcy and the abject failure of the resistance — and begin afresh,
