Dear friends and readers of Mada,
We have been silent over the past two days, in shock at what happened in court on Tuesday but also in an attempt to organize ourselves for what looks like it will be an ongoing battle.

Andreas Malm is an activist but also a provocative and thoughtful historian. His banishment from the UK should provoke particular consternation for those in our profession. Here is his wonderful account of how climate change challenges the way we relate the past to the present.

Dnipro's train station has been hit two more times since this happened, with the latest strike happening just a few minutes ago.

It's because, for decades, Westerners perceived Ukrainian culture as an abstraction of Russian culture, thinking they speak essentially Russian with a different accent. So you don't need to learn those other authors. You just need to learn the great Russian authors like Dostoevs

“In a note with the files, the hackers wrote, ‘They have our information, so it’s only fair that we have theirs.’”
The leaked records include the locations of ICE and CBP facilities, workers' cellphone numbers, and the members of groups tied to wiretap programs, Palantir software, and xAI’s Grok chatbot. buff.ly/hoTj09C

22-year-old Asya Sengüz did not join the Berlin Left parliamentary group after she didn’t sign a declaration in support of Israel’s “right to exist”
so ukrainians shouldn't treat their cultural production through a pessimism and inferiority complex, but russian is treated as such to the extent that a criticism from one (or even multiple) social media accounts is perceived as trying to eradicate it

💔 | Novaya Gazeta, the Moscow-based newspaper founded in 1993, has announced it is closing after more than three decades of work.
i really do love that i can laugh (described as good freaky by many) with strangers in a way that sounds very organic that i'm laughing with them instead of at them such that it shatters the potential embarrassment of doing/acting non-maliciously silly in public space

I was invited to watch NAZA and asked to sit on Q&A panels afterwards to discuss. Here are my thoughts on what the film reveals and what it shields. The story told and the target it misses. #naza #israel electronicintifada.net/conte…

突发：爱酷电影周宣布取消：原定今秋举办的第十九届北京酷儿影展停办🇨🇳🏳️🌈
2026年10月29日，爱酷电影周（Love Queer Cinema Week，即北京酷儿影展 Beijing Queer Film Festival）在官方Instagram账号发布声明，宣布“原定于近期举办”的影展取消，并向计划参与的观众致歉。声明没有说明取消原因，也没有提到原定日期和场地。今年4月20日影展开放了2026年征片，8月2日起招募志愿者，招募截止9月1日。
影展创办于2001年。当年导演、学者崔子恩和北京大学学生杨洋在北大办起第一届，放映了《蓝宇》《东宫西宫》《今年夏天》。据长期组织者吴漫记述，影展结束后校方约谈组织者，几名学生受到处分，并被告知校内放映必须经过审查、取得许可。2005年第二届开幕前几个小时，北大通知不得在校内举行，影展转到798艺术区一处私人工作室，以邀请制进行，用短信通知观众地点。此后场地屡次被临时叫停，组织者把一周的放映分散到六七个地点，自称“游击战”。
2014年影展再次被叫停。组织者几天内改为带观众乘坐北京开往怀柔的列车，在车上用U盘同步观看回顾影展十年的纪录片《我们的故事》。2015年起影展改名“爱酷电影周”，中文名里不再出现“酷儿”，此后在北京法国文化中心（Institut français de Pékin）举办。同年，影展原定5月17日国际不再恐同、恐跨日在荷兰驻华使馆放映，据组织者记述，当地部门在放映前几天多次警告中方组织者，称会对其工作和家庭造成“严重后果”，放映最终临时取消。
2021年起，影展宣传不再出现影展和组织者名称，只介绍影片；2025年停用运营多年的微信公众号。2024年开幕放映时，场外停着六辆警车。2025年，第十八届影展仍在10月下旬至11月初举行，志愿者报名约200人，是前一年的四倍。
今年6月，北京法国文化中心原定在骄傲月放映法国电影《Enzo》和《Eat the Night》。据Urania研究所报道，警察6月6日到场，要求审查影片，并查验在场中国公民的身份证件，放映随后取消。目前没有公开信息表明这件事与爱酷电影周停办有关。
背景：北京同志中心已在2023年宣布关闭，高校LGBTQ+微信公众号从2021年起被成批删除。二十五年来，爱酷电影周靠更换名称、分散场地、减少线上痕迹维持运作。
