The late Charles Rangel served as a member of the Congressional Black Caucus for more than 40 years. But the goals of Black politics and electoral politics are not necessarily the same.

Like hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza, Mohammed Salem was desperate for food. The 42-year old father of five has been fighting to keep his family from starving throughout the nearly three-month, full spectrum blockade Israel imposed on Gaza on March 2. On Tuesday, in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis, in the shelter for forcibly displaced people where he and his family have been living, word spread that food parcels had arrived in Gaza. But to collect one, he would need to walk more than four kilometers (2.4 miles) over harsh terrain—the rubble-strewn streets and sand-covered roads that dot the decimated landscape of Gaza—caused by constant Israeli bombing and targeted demolition.

Period products can contain pesticides and other harmful substances, such as heavy metals and PFAS ‘forever chemicals’. Half of the world’s population have periods, with women, girls and people who menstruate each using an average of 11,000 disposable menstrual products during their lifetime. Despite the prolific use of these products, the potential health impacts of the chemicals that they can contain remains largely unexamined.

Zarah Sultana has received “death threats” online and abuse from Labour politicians over her advocacy for Palestinian rights in the British parliament. But now, as the UK starts to sanction Israel over its escalation in Gaza, it seems that Sultana has been proven right.

The ongoing Israeli military assault on Gaza is, in my view, one of the worst crimes in human history. For the last year and a half, Israel has carried out a mass murder, ethnic cleansing, and now starvation campaign against a besieged, defenseless population of two million Palestinians.

“What is a university and who is it for?”
This was the question to which this essay was supposed to respond. It’s a question I turn over and over again in my mind, walking myself in circles. Federal agents have detained, kidnapped, and disappeared multiple graduate students for their participation in peaceful protest against Israeli genocide. Anti-Zionist speech is an act of domestic terror. The president explicitly rejects professional historical scholarship on the legacies of racism in the US and seeks to banish “improper ideology” from the nation’s museums. There is a real and immediate future in which US universities as we’ve known them and academic freedom as we’ve known it—however imperfect, and always with a Palestine exception—no longer exists. Columbia is already there.1

London is preparing to conduct an “audit” of its relations with China — a gesture disguised as analysis but, in reality, a ritual: a confession on bended knees before the new masters of the Atlantic order.

British opposition leader Kemi Badenoch, speaking to Sky News yesterday, defended Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza, framing it as being in alignment with the UK’s “national interest”.
She likened Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza to Ukraine’s fight against Russia, describing it as a “proxy war” fought on behalf of broader “Western interests.”
Addressing criticism of Israel’s genocidal conduct in Gaza, Badenoch dismissed accusations of genocide, stating, “Israel is fighting a war. It is not for me to police exactly how they are doing that… It is not a genocide, as people are saying.”

The media is full of reports about a possible imminent Israeli attack on Iran. With US-Iran nuclear negotiations not moving forward, Israel hopes to pull the US into a war against Iran. What would be the nuclear contamination and how will Iran retaliate?

A memory of Gummidipundi refugee camp, north of Chennai, haunts me. In dim light, a young(ish) man, missing one of his limbs, sits on the concrete floor in a brick shack. The roof is thatched, or maybe it’s concrete sheets, perhaps asbestos. Hopelessness has eaten away at his eyes; not even a hint of anticipation animates their gaze. That’s what sticks. His demeanour doesn’t shift. It’s as though nothing will ever change, a barren future seemingly already written.
