Trying to tie up the fights
I have had days of visits, experiences and reflections. There I am, trying to make intersectionality a reality, trying to connect struggles, trying to say all the points as bertsolaris, without pounding...
From the community radio station LoRa where I work, we organized a round table on freedom of expression on May 1 with journalists from Palestine, the Philippines and Kurdistan. I narrated, among other things, the closure of the media and the political persecution in the Basque Country. Once again a surprise, because few people know how they have built a discourse imposed on the Basque Country and disseminated internationally. They assume from the public that there is persecution in these other countries, but in Europe? Colonization, assimilation policies, occupation, militarization, torture... as if they started from the other side of the sea. Again certification: the narrative of the colonists remains.How to deconstruct it?
Fifteenth femicide in Switzerland. I'm just a group chat. In addition to denouncing, we will conduct a course of feminist self-defense. In the square baptized with this name we will hang photos and texts. Lately they don’t last long, in our opinion they are removed by neo-Nazi groups.
At the same time, the solidarity group of Daniela Klette [activist and former member of the Red Army Faction (RAF), imprisoned since 2024] is also in Zürich. Beyond the importance of the transmission of history and its sinister prison conditions, we talked about the need to organize solidarity and its difficulties, because he is pro-Palestinian. We talked about this more extensively with some friends from Berlin. After 30 years of flight, two members of the German clandestine organization K.O.M.I.T.E.E have just returned from Venezuela. After a dinner we were told about the drama of the left movement behind the discourses that the newspapers normalize. The contradictions of the Middle East issue on the left in Germany are not new. In recent years and months, however, the attitude of the so-called Antideutsches has become incomprehensible and the whole movement has exploded and fragmented, from antifa to queerfeminism.
Unlimited stickers with the Star of David can be found in streets and bars, while in social gatherings of the autonomous left, wearing the “Palestinian kufiya” is frowned upon or forbidden
The Antideutsches recognize and support the existence of Israel by declaring themselves the custodians of the Jews. Ignoring the consequences that this moral debt brings, and everything that it says that I have the existence of Israel is considered anti-Semitic. Unlimited stickers with David’s star can be found in the streets and bars, while in the social gatherings of the autonomous left, wearing the “Palestinian kufiya” is frowned upon or forbidden. While I am reflecting on how to link struggles, others have no problem in unifying anti-fascism and a colonial project.
In order to round up the article, while my head is smoking, I have received news of Iratxe Sorzabal’s confession of torture. It's caused me a lot of excitement, it's made me get out of my previous thoughts. What we knew, what we said out loud and denounced, has been taken by a Spanish court to accept. So I remember his mother, his daughter, those around him, the members of the prison, the tortured and especially all the women tortured. As well as the words written by Iratxe:
They stripped you, they stripped me/ They beat you, they beat me/ They raped you, they raped me/ They burned our body skin with electrodes/ They beat us with a plastic bag/ But we are alive and we are free/ They confessed to you. I've been confessed. We've been recognized.

Like all Mariokers, I was thirsty for references in my adolescence, in the process of admitting that I was bisexual, and I found some rare ones: Skin, singer of Skunk Anansie (among them I didn’t know she was bisexual, but the radar worked for me), Beatriz and the celestial... [+]
Oliver Laxe once told me that maintaining empathy is the right thing to do in this life. That he is moved by wounded people, and that makes him very curious; and that is precisely one of the things he likes the most: to wonder why he has been moved about it, to study these... [+]
Ustekabean edo... urte hasiera honetan bi mila milioitik gorako irabaziak izan omen ditu Iberdrolak, baina ez omen dago txapliguak, altxafuegoak, etxaferuak... edo dena delakoak zeruetara botatzeko egoeran, izan ere, iaz aldi berean baino %27 gutxiago irabazi omen du. Atalen... [+]
In the debate on education, the neologism that some of us are using (I think we can call it that) is pedagogy, which perhaps needs an explanation. The idea is to give pedagogy a chance, separating the two things. As in the distinction between science and science, pedagogy would... [+]
Politikan, gizartean eragiteko nahiaren eta identitate zeinuetan sakontzearen arteko tentsioa ekidinezina da. Zabaltzearen eta norberaren ezaugarriak indartzearen arteko hartu-emana politikaren adierazle baita. Bi arloak lortu nahi izaten dira, eta elkarren artean elikatzen... [+]
Many animals use coincidence with the group as a survival strategy. This character has often been neglected, equating many collectives with herds, as a mass without its own character that must be guided. But the community, when it suspects the threat, knows how to use its... [+]
Bio etiketadun sagar edo tomate bat erosten dugunean, sagar edo tomateari osasungarri hitza lotzen diogu eta lurra zaintzen ari den nekazaria irudikatu dezakegu. Lurraren zaintzari jarritako mimoagatik, erosketaren prezio altua ulerkorra egiten zaigu. Sagarraren erosketak... [+]
A fund for the State of Israel has bought most of the macrofestivals in the Spanish state. I'm talking about To. Whether it’s a festival with a beach side driveway or a festival with tattooed hardcorettes, an exchange of 1,400 million euros to build homes in Israeli colonies in... [+]
At the moment, and up to the head, a huge exhibition on Artificial Intelligence is on display at the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume in Paris, with the title: The world according to Artificial Intelligence. This exhibition presents a series of contemporary works of art, among... [+]
Yours is not ecology, yours is ideology.” You have the words of the head of the Spanish opposition, this time with the excuse of the blackout. What it means to distort the word ideology; energy transition and/or energy policy because, as the word says, it is pure politics. The... [+]
In the local library, I participate in an open space around technology. The other day there were two women who wanted to learn how to use the Arduino plate to create a robotics project for children, one a programmer, the other a cheerleader like me. The three of us set off. I... [+]
A group of gunmen beat up two young men in a barbershop. They’ve been locked in to prevent security cameras on San Francisco Street from filming police abuses, but they probably didn’t expect that this business also had a security camera. LUZ has published a video of the... [+]
On the night of April 28, the terraces of Barcelona’s Badal Rambla were crowded; unrefrigerated beers were served, but people seemed happy. “If the end of the world has to come, let it catch us with joy,” a neighbor told me. For more than ten hours the electricity had... [+]
