A comrade and featured artist of the From The Periphery media collective has adapted a recent episode of The Fire These Times podcast into a pretty little zine. With their blessing, we've made it available for your reading pleasure and provided PDFs for sharing and printing (if you are inclined to art projects - video instructions included). Also of course check out the full audio and transcript of the conversation that TFTT had with Naomi Klein, linked in the post!

He's now back home in Kazakhstan.

Think of it like the solstice: it's getting colder but the darkness is being vanquished even as it seems at the height of its oppressive power. It cannot hold. None of us are free until all of us are free! #OneWorldOneStruggle #Syria

Reading Kim Stanley Robinson’s The Ministry for the Future a few years ago, we found ourselves asking many of the same questions @alxd ✏️ solarpunk prompts poses in this review about the book’s apparent warm reception in anti-authoritarian, anti-colonial circles.

New transcript of a talk from June 2022 Elia @Elia Ayoub (he/him) spoke with Nidal Bitare about: - Yarmouk camp in Damascus, the largest Palestinian refugee camp in the world before the Assad regime laid siege to and destroyed it - The legacy of Lebanese-Palestinian-Syrian leftist writer Samir Kassir, who was assassinated presumably by the Assad regime in 2005 - The sad hypocrisy of pro-Assad politics in the movement for #Palestine And much more.
