Andrew Parsons should be forced to resign for this morally obtuse statement. He should probably be investigated for corrupt links to the russian state. The russian team he allowed to compete includes a frigging shooter and someone who served in the division that occupied Kyiv region (i.e. Bucha)!

Inspiring. Seseg gave a very sincere, vulnerable and touching talk at our last @associationruta.bsky.social conference in Ukraine and I encourage everyone to see her illustrations. She has a book coming up on Buryat struggles under Russian colonialism and her own journey after forced Russification
An exhibition exploring anti-nuclear solidarities and Soviet nuclear testing in Central Asia, of particular interest to our RUTA communities, is currently on display in Amsterdam
We are trying to address some of the issues stemming from βdissonantβ legacies of racialization and colonial oppression in our latest text with Selbi Durdiyeva On Collateral Damage, Selective Anti-Imperialism and the Path to Liberation

The critical discussions we need to haveβ¦ Such as about the eulogy to Stalin by W.E.B. Du Bois, whose work is crucial to critical race and decolonial scholarship, yet, this selective decoloniality does grave injustice to the liberation struggles of Central & Northern Asia, & Europeβs East

This was a very, very interesting The RUTA Association webinar. I learned a lot and ordered these two books for the Helsinki University library. Can't wait to read them. Highly, highly recommended www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_85...
If youβre in Berlin on 20 March, come along to the launch of the German edition of my book, βThe Romaβ

This was such an important discussion and I cannot recommend these books enough! Itβs particularly vital to read them together. Do prompt your libraries to order them, they are incredible sources for teaching and further research on justice, history, philosophy, art, literature, culturesβ¦
Here is a recording of our last RUTA webinar. The discussion revolved around new paradigm shifting books by @magdamatache.bsky.social & @madelinepotter.bsky.social, who revisit Romani histories, rethink how theyβre theorised with and envision the path to racial justice

I just attended a panel with Natali at Cafe Kyiv, where she emphasised the active participation of the Romani people in Ukrainian defence and emphasised the need for the state and institution to recognise the crucial socio-political role of the Roma in the Ukrainian society

According to Tomenko, the current war on Ukraine is revealing a deeper historical parallel. The Roma families, who survived the German Nazi occupation and genocide, are now facing a 2nd war in their lifetime, with many Roma fighting in Ukraineβs defense against the ongoing genocidal Russian invasion
Academia? Not surprised!

Over at Twitter, an assorted combo of paid russian stooges and probably unpaid useful idiots from academia are involved in another cycle of « imagine if Ru did XΒ Β» about a bunch of international law violations Russia has been committing for a decade. Itβs pathetic.

A much-needed analysis of the colonial gaze. There is also much more to be said about the reasons why the Western colonial gaze is so eager to seek out, platform and bond with the Russian colonial gaze
This is what an apartment on the fifth floor in the Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih looks like today, damaged by russian shelling during the night. And this happens every day, only the names of cities and streets change...
Hungarian analysts and several EU diplomats in Budapest fear OrbΓ‘n may be triggering a long-rumored worst-case scenario: using a fabricated national security threat to crack down on the opposition or even cancel the election. This military deployment puts that scenario into play.
π₯Trying to lift falling poll numbers, Viktor OrbΓ‘n is staging a confrontation with Ukraine, sending a video message to Zelensky hoping Kyiv escalates. Note: Russiaβnot Ukraineβbombed the Druzhba oil pipeline and OrbΓ‘n sent no similar warning to Moscow.
