As Balochistan reaches local news even here in Norway, I highly recommend this episode on Balochistan from #TheFireTheseTimes https://thefirethesetimes.com/2024/09/13/what-is-happening-in-balochistan-w-lateef-johar-baloch/ from @ayoub
"The point of resistance when you are much smaller than your opponent is not to beat them in some Rocky-ass show where people declare you the greatest martial artist of the world -- it is to make your resistance painful enough that they cannot swallow you. That they understand that hurting you will hurt them." - Romeo Kokriatski

I interviewed Aurelien Mondon on #TheFireTheseTimes twice, including most recently https://thefirethesetimes.com/2024/07/05/the-far-right-is-not-inevitable-w-aurelien-mondon/
In the second episode, Mondon mentioned something quite interesting which, as far as I know, has not been reported elsewhere.
He said that they reached out to The Guardian.
In 2022 on my podcast I had my buddy Romeo Kokriatski on. For those who dk, he's the co-host of the Ukraine Without Hype podcast, which is a must listen for English-language updates on Ukraine.
In our first or second chat on #TheFireTheseTimes I said that my fear for Ukraine is not Ukrainians' resolve, but Europeans' cynicism.
Germany led the way on that, effectively making it harder for Ukraine to defend itself for a long time.

The amazing Liz Artistry did this infographics on our episode of #TheFireTheseTimes in which I spoke to Nikesh Shukla, Dana el Kurd and Fabien Goa about being brown parents raising brown kids in the West in a time of genocide.
The episode is available on any podcast platform.

I'm also a big fan of #bellhooks #OctaviaButler #adriennemareebrown, #ursulakleguin A recent favorite nonfiction book of mine is #naomiklein 's Doppleganger and, in terms of fiction, I'm currently reading and enjoying #sinanantoon 's The Book of Collateral Damage. 16/?
I talked about it a bit in my recent TFTT episode with Nikesh Shukla, Fabie Goa and Dana El-Kurd. You can listen to it here. Or not. I'm not your dad. And even if I were, I'm an anti-authoritarian so this would be awkward. 7/? https://open.spotify.com/episode/6Tq33BJU0RR9BAbDft29VD #thefirethesetimes
