Israel has branded itself as the “Start-up Nation,” projecting a glossy, tech-optimist state. This techwashing serves a fascist agenda, securing international legitimisation of the ongoing colonisation of Palestine, while inspiring authoritarian, tech-dystopias worldwide. https://www.tni.org/en/article/techwashing-and-fascist-politics

Far-right regimes can govern without broad popular support.

Controlling media, rewriting rules, and weakening institutions lets authoritarian capitalism run smoothly from the top.

Remembering is resistance. On International Day of Peasant Struggles, we honor land defenders killed for justice, connect past and present violence, and affirm memory as defiance against exploitation, dispossession, and ecological destruction. https://www.tni.org/en/article/colonial-legacies-of-agrarian-violence-and-persistent-struggles-to-end-it

We may think of today’s far right as climate deniers and fossil fuel cheerleaders with little regard for nature, but there are strands of the far right movements that link nature, territory, and identity in ways that reinforce exclusionary politics: eco-fascism. https://www.tni.org/en/article/the-new-blood-and-soil

Three myths sustain the anti gender backlash.

Demographic replacement.

These narratives redirect anger away from inequality and towards scapegoats, while coordinated networks translate panic into law. https://www.tni.org/en/article/weaponising-gender

What is called Palestine’s centrality is not a hierarchy of suffering. It is where imperial power concentrates and where resistance reveals connections across struggles, making visible how liberation in one place is tied to liberation elsewhere. https://www.tni.org/en/article/palestine-in-a-world-of-struggle
