đŸ§”Fellow humanists: do you care that the largest academic publishers in the world are suing the government of India for allowing their people to access free online libraries? Do you care that Harvard & Oxford UPs have “taken down” online libraries? tinyurl.com/4krbkubu #crimes
Fellow humanists: do you care that one of the richest unis in the US stood by & said nothing after one of the fiercest advocates for free information was prosecuted for wire fraud for daring to make knowledge open & that they, @MIT, called the police & that he committed suicide?
Fellow humanists: do you care that some of the richest unis in the world, @Harvard_Press & @UniofOxford, have used US copyright laws to “take down” online libraries that provide access to everyone in the Global South & your students who can’t afford access to your own books!

One year anniversary!
It started with a huge loss and ended with a huge loss for me. In btw I helped more than 450 families with food packages, few with medicine and other stuff. Just today, I provided meals to more than 350 people. Take part by donating:

Packing the food. In my neighborhood more than 200 houses are damaged. People are affected a lot. So much losses incurred. People need help not only with food items but in rebuilding their houses. I will do my part as long as I can. I need your contributions. #Afghanistan
Together with my team, we delivered food to families who were gravely impacted by the flood. I remain hopeful that with your contributions, I will be able to help them more and lessen their pain and grief. Plz donate and share the campaign link with anyone who can help.

Last Thursday (s. ; or for the full live stream, s. ), @SevimDagdelen from #DieLinke has discussed with @RaniaKhalek & @EugenePuryear esp. the recently decided & billion-dollar rearmament of the German #Bundeswehr...

27. RADIXers, for the last time this is @akgungor_c. So, when a disaster happens, society looks for #leadership and an efficient #response. While issues related to #crisismanagement & response usually seem to be the primary reason for public outrage in the first moments,
28...it doesn’t take long for a louder contestation to emerge, this one being about causes and responsibilities: How it happened; why it happened;
what could have been done in order to prevent it, and, if it wasn’t prevented, then who is responsible?
29. Clearly, #catastrophe is a legitimacy test for the political elite, as it is for the public administration. Leaders certainly prefer avoiding such debates about their presumed irresponsibility, indifference, or lethargy but for many others, starting with victims & journalists

17. Hi, this is @akgungor_c again. Let’s come back to where we had left: Post-disaster controversies
 These are indeed closely associated with how we individually and socially (re)construct the #catastrophe.
18. A disaster is the outcome(s) of a physical occurrence as well as how we perceive and process them. Like any “event”, for every disaster, there are as many accounts as the number of people who’ve been exposed to it.
19. Individual #narratives of a disaster are the expression of how we position ourselves vis-a-vis the catastrophe and its effects on us, in a sense, fabricating our own #reality.

"#NajiAlAli created #Handala to depict the complexities of the plight of #Palestinianrefugees. It remains a potent symbol of the struggle of the #Palestinian people for justice & self-determination." handala.org Image
"#Handala's hands are clasped behind his back as a sign of rejection at a time when solutions are presented to the #Palestinians the #American way."

"It was born ten years old, and he will always be ten years old."

"#Handala was a #Palestinian child first , but his consciousness developed to have a national, global & human horizon. He is a simple yet tough child, & this is why people adopted him & felt that he represents their consciousness."

"Added to the food crisis and fallout from the explosion is the increasing bite of U.S. sanctions, mostly targeted at Syria, but also hitting its Lebanese neighbor."

Ah, the #EuropeanParliamentElection knocks at the door! Let’s see who is #campaigning for what
In #Italy, a #rightwingcoalition calls for a #guaranteedincome, #largerpensions, and resistance to the heavy-handed #austerityprograms enforced by the #EuropeanUnion.
In #France, some #rightwinggroups champion #fight against #climatechange, decry #exploitation of #foreignworkers, growing #economicinequality. What about the #centerright and #centerleft parties? #Polls show they will lose their #majority, and the Euroskeptics bag 30+% of seats.
However, #Euroskeptic, like #populist, is a term that obscures more than it reveals. #Spain’s leftist #Podemos isn’t likely to break bread with #Italy’s rightist #NorthernLeague-#M5S, but both are considered #Euroskeptic. Some are really #wolves but wear #sheepskins.
