We're sharing this episode a little early so it's still timely as relates to the threats faced by the Rojava revolution in north and east Syria. First up, we'll hear some updates and assessments from Garzan, a member of Tekoşîna Anarşîst, an internationalist anarchist structure based in Rojava and aligned with the Syrian Defense Forces. Garzan's voice has been re-recorded for anonymity and a transcript of their audio is available in the show notes. Transcript Then, we hear from Jînda a western activist engaged in solidarity with the Rojava Revolution to speak about what the spread of Syrian transitional government and the Turkish-backed so-called Syrian National Army militia into areas formerly under control of the Syrian Defense Forces means for women and different ethnic and religious minorities.

This week, we spoke with Donna Mae, a longtime resident of Minneapolis and registered nurse working mostly with people who are unsheltered and use injection drugs. Donna lives in a neighborhood of the city that has had very heavy ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and CBP (Customs and Border Patrol) activity and speaks for the hour about the last two months of invasion, organizing with neighbors, the legacy of the George Floyd Uprising and the aftermath of the murders of Renée Good and Alex Pretti, the recent General Strike and lessons for preparing in the next incursion, wherever that may be.

In coming days we'll be sharing a timely podcast featuring an interview with a member of Tekoşîna Anarşîst and another with a western activist on the ground in Qamişlo to share their perspectives on the situation and updates on the changing terrain. We talk about the danger of a resurgence of ISIS, the humanitarian crisis growing due to the seige in Kobane and the fears of a renewed patriarchal governance, but also about organizing and international solidarity. This is a good time to get together with community in your area to figure out how you can support the revolution in Rojava.

Syria is entering a new and terrifying phase. In this episode Breht is joined by a panel of scholars and activists (Angie Bittar, Adam, Joma, Nur and Jalyssa) to take a clear-eyed look at what's unfolded over the last year and how it fits into the longer arc of the Syrian civil war, including the rapid collapse of the Assad-era order and the emergence of a new regime centered around HTS and Ahmad al-Sharaa (Jolani). Together, they break down the latest waves of mass violence and displacement across the coast, Suwayda, Aleppo, and Rojava, and ask what these events reveal about the new Syria. From there, they turn to the Kurdish question. They discuss the SDF, the long history of US imperial instrumentalization of Kurdish forces, the recurring pattern of abandonment, and the growing pressure now facing Rojava amid shifting regional and international priorities. They also examine ongoing kidnappings and sect-based killings, the breakdown of accountability, and what the allegations surrounding Syrian security institutions tell us about the direction of the new order. Finally, they zoom out to the information war. They map the propaganda narratives being pushed in Western and Zionist media, and offer practical "tells" for separating genuine reporting from information operations. Then, they close by asking what Syria teaches us about the current political moment: imperial strategy, proxy warfare, sectarian fragmentation, and what real solidarity demands.

Syriens Kurden wehren sich gegen Damaskus. Die humanitäre Lage im belagerten Kobane ist katastrophal.

Li Turkiye û li bajarên Kurdan rojev li ser bûyer û pêşketinên li Rojava ye. DEM Partî û rêxistinên sivîl jibo balê bide ser Rojava û jibo gihandina pêdivîyên mirovî li ser deriyên sînor bangewazî li hukumetê dikin. Meş û protestoyên li dijî êrîşên li ser Rojava jî didomin. Ji aliyê dinê ve, hunermenda Kurdên Xorosanê Yelda Abbasî ku li Almanya dijî, piştî çû serdana malbata xwe li bajarê Meşhedê li Îranê, hat girtin. Li Tirkîyê û Ewrupa gelek hunermendên Kurd jibo azadkirina Abbasî bangewazî dikin.

I veckans En grej till pratar vi de syriska regeringstrupperna som de senaste veckorna har gått till hårt angrepp mot kurderna i landet och den de facto självstyrande regionen Rojava. Rapporter om övergrepp haglar medan världen tittar bort. I andra halvan diskuterar vi några av scenerna som utspelade sig på årets upplaga av World Economic Forum i Davos. Trots att Nato-chefen Mark Rutte fortsätter att knäböja för Trump verkar vissa andra världsledare ha vaknat och insett att man ibland måste slå mobbaren på käften. Hosted on Acast.

In Kobane leiden die Menschen. Erste Hilfslieferungen kommen an, die kurdische Stadt in Syrien wird aber weiterhin belagert. Die Waffenruhe zwischen den syrischen Regierungstruppen und den kurdischen Milizen soll Zeit geben, eine Lösung für die Zukunft der Kurden in Syrien zu finden. Die Kurden wollen ihre politische Identität und auch ihre Autonomie behalten. In Syrien ist eine föderale Struktur aber stark umstritten, gerade die arabischstämmige Bevölkerung in den kurdischen Gebieten ist dagegen. Und auch von außen erhöht sich der Druck: die Türkei und Israel bevorzugen einen zentralen Staat. Die USA unterstützen die kurdischen Milizen nicht mehr. In der Türkei hat sich die kurdische Arbeiterpartei PKK vor etwa einem Jahr aufgelöst. Die Kämpfer und Kämpferinnen haben sich in den Nordirak zurückgezogen, hoffen aber auf einen erfolgreichen Friedensprozess. In der Autonomieregion Kurdistan im Irak verwalten sich die Kurden selbst, sind aber auch von politischen Spannungen und wirtschaftlicher Unsicherheit betroffen. Und auch bei uns in Deutschland fühlt sich die Mehrheit der Kurden und Kurdinnen diskriminiert. Gibt es keine Hoffnung für sie auf Anerkennung, politische Teilhabe und kulturelle Freiheit? Darüber sprechen wir unter anderen mit Anita Starosta von Medico International, der Ethnologin Lale Yalçin-Heckmann und mit Kamal Sido von der Gesellschaft für bedrohte Völker. Podcast-Tipp: Deutschlandfunk Kultur - Weltzeit Kurden in der Türkei - Arbeiterpartei PKK fordert Frieden und Freiheit Seit 2024 läuft der neue Friedensprozess zwischen der Türkei und der verbotenen Arbeiterpartei Kurdistan. PKK-Gründer Öcalan hat zu Gewaltverzicht aufgerufen. Nun ist Ankara am Zug. Es geht um Demokratie, kulturelle Identität und mehr Freiheiten. https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/urn:ard:episode:7056bb17d5c30508/

Chapo Foreign Policy correspondent Derek Davison returns to talk about the decades that have been happening these past few weeks. We stop at Iran and cover the protests and the possible involvement of Israeli weaponry; at Syria, where Rojava and the SDF have all but capitulated to Ahmed al-Sharaa; at Greenland, where the potential of an inter-NATO conflict grows, and in Israel, where Trump attempts to do freemium diplomacy.

İmralı'ya bir heyetin gitmesine yönelik tartışmalar uzun süre gündemin en ön sırasında yer aldı. Bir anda Bahçeli'nin çıkıp MHP grup toplantısında İmralı'ya gidilmesi için nutuk atması ve MHP milletvekillerinin ayakta alkışlarıyla bunun için icazet alması son dönemde artık alışmaya başladığımız trajikomik sahnelerden birini daha bizlere izletti. Tabii bu sahne belirli bir amaç için kurgulanmıştı. Erdoğan ve Bahçeli arasında “petrol açılımı”nın temposu konusunda bir açı farkı var. Erdoğan yarı askerî rejimin sürece mesafeli yaklaşan unsurlarının basıncı altında biraz daha ihtiyatlı hareket ederken, MHP lideri Devlet Bahçeli ve Dışişleri Bakanı Hakan Fidan çok daha hızlı hareket etme eğilimi gösteriyor. Nitekim süreç, özellikle Suriye bağlamında yeniden tıkanma emareleri gösterince, ikisi de fazla mesai yapmaya başladı. Hakan Fidan'ı Vaşington'a uçuran, Devlet Bahçeli'yi de alelacele meclise koşturtan sürecin arkasında bu tıkanma vardı.Süreç Suriye'de tıkandı! ABD “sen tıkanıklığı açmazsan biz açarız” dedi!HTŞ lideri Ahmet eş-Şara Trump'ın huzuruna çıkacaktı ve HTŞ ile PYD arasındaki görüşme trafiği de hızlanmıştı. İktidarın petrol açılımının Suriye ayağı, HTŞ ve PYD'nin Türkiye'nin himayesinde bir anlaşmaya varmasını öngörüyordu. Oysa işin Türkiye ayağında süreç yavaş ilerlediği için HTŞ ve PYD'nin Türkiye'yi beklemeden ABD ve İsrail'in himayesinde bir anlaşmaya yönelmesi tehlikesi doğdu. Zira basına sızdırılan haberlerde PYD/YPG'nin kendi yapısını ve konuşlanmalarını koruyarak tümen ve tugaylar düzeyinde HTŞ yönetiminin silahlı kuvvetlerine entegre olacağı iddiaları yer alıyordu. Ayrıca Şam ordusunun üst düzey kademelerinde YPG'li komutanların bulunacağından da bahsedilmekteydi. Bu model 10 Mart'ta Şam'da HTŞ lideri Eş-Şara ve YPG lideri Mazlum Abdi arasındaki mutabakatın pek de Türkiye'nin hoşuna gitmeyen bir yorumuydu. Tüm bunlar olurken HTŞ rejimi İsrail'le İbrahimî anlaşmalara dahil olmak konusunda adımlarını hızlandırıyordu. Vaşington'dan çıkan bir diğer sonuç ise HTŞ'nin IŞİD karşıtı koalisyona katılmasıydı. IŞİD'in eski emirinin IŞİD karşıtı koalisyona katılması büyük bir kara mizah örneği elbette ama eş-Şara IŞİD emiriyken de şimdi de emperyalist/Siyonist çıkarlar için çalıştığından ortada anormal bir durum yok. Bu haberin esas önemi ise IŞİD karşıtı koalisyonda Türkiye resmen yer almadığı halde YPG'nin fiilen bu koalisyonun en aktif ve önde gelen kara gücünü oluşturması. IŞİD'e Karşı Uluslararası Koalisyon'un eski sözcüsü tarafından yönetilen bir Amerikalı danışmanlık şirketinin Rojava'da Amerikan yatırımlarını çekmek üzere ofis açmasının da aynı döneme gelmesi tabii ki tesadüf değil. Yarı askerî rejimde telaş: Hakan Fidan'ı Vaşington'a uçuran Devlet Bahçeli'yi meclise koşturan neydi?İşte süreç bu minvalde ilerlerken Hakan Fidan Vaşington'a uçtu. Trump'ın isteği doğrultusunda eş-Şara ile yapılan toplantıya katıldı. Trump'ın Suriye politikasında Türkiye'ye önemli bir rol vermek istediği başından beri biliniyor. Çünkü Trump, Türkiye'yi Amerikan ve İsrail çıkarları doğrultusunda İran'ın karşısına çıkartmak istiyor. Bu doğrultuda ABD, Türkiye sömürgeci burjuvazisinin yayılmacı emellerini gıdıklıyor ama aynı zamanda da Türkiye'nin Rojava'daki Amerikan vekilleriyle ve İsrail'le iyi geçinmesini de şart koşuyor. Hakan Fidan'ın toplantıya alınması da belli ki bu koordinasyonu sağlama amacını güdüyordu. Hakan Fidan, Vaşington'dan telaşla döndü. ABD'nin, HTŞ'nin ve PYD'nin tamam dediği modeli Türkiye'deki yarı-askerî rejimin tüm kanatları için daha kabul edilebilir hale getirmek için bir şeyler yapmalıydı. Sürecin başından itibaren gerek Hakan Fidan gerekse de Devlet Bahçeli'nin açıklamaları PYD'yle anlaşmaya daha yatkın bir eğilimi yansıtsa da yarı-askerî rejimde bu tür bir olasılığa şiddetle karşı çıkan eğilimler de var. Bu eğilimler Erdoğan'ı sıkıştırıyor. Eğer Vaşington'daki model bu kesimi tatmin edecek hale getirilmezse işlerin karışacağı belliydi.

Volvemos a Rojava, al Noreste de Siria, para conocer la realidad de las distintas mujeres que conviven en la Región Autònoma Kurda. Lo hacemos a través de la experiencia de la fotoperiodista y documentalista Victoria Rovira, que ha pasado cinco años conviviendo con mujeres kurdas, sirias, asirias, mujeres de Estado Islamico esposas e hijos de ISIS en campos de refugiados. De su experiencia nace la exposición de fotografias“Mujeres entre Guerras” que se puede ver en el Palau Robert de Barcelona y pronto de manera internacional. Hablamos con ella de Jinwar, tierra de mujeres en kurdo, ese pueblo creado para restaurar las heridas de muchas mujeres con diversidad de vivencias: Escuchamos la música de cantantes que recuperan los ritmos y poemas populares de la cultura kurda, pero también de anatolia y mesopotamia como: MAVIS GÜNESER– Hewae Dere Laçi; WAEED BOUHASSOUN- Je lui ai donné; AYNUR- Ez Keç Im; GÜLSEVEN MEDAR- Nervo; SUNA ALAN- Sîrïna Min; SERHAT KURAL- Teyr; ESMER- Hey Nabe.

Michael Panser ist 1988 in Potsdam geboren und dort auch aufgewachsen. In seiner Jugend war er antifaschistisch organisiert und machte sich mit Freund*innen auf eine Reise nach Lateinamerika zu den Spuren revolutionärer Geschichte. Danach ging er für einige Zeit studieren, verließ dann allerdings die Universität, um sein gesamtes Leben als Studium zu begreifen. 2012 lernte er die kurdische Befreiungsbewegung und die Schriften Abdullah Öcalans kennen. Er bereiste nun alle vier Teile Kurdistans, kehrte aber immer wieder nach Europa zurück, um das Gesehene und Erlebte mit anderen zu teilen. 2015 ging Michael Panser nach Rojava und 2016 nach Şengal. 2017 entschied er sich, einen weiteren Schritt zu gehen und sich der Guerilla in den Bergen Kurdistans anzuschließen, um eine revolutionäre Persönlichkeit zu entwickeln. Im Rahmen eines breit angelegten Angriffes hat die türkischen Armee ihn am 14.12.2018 durch einen Luftschlag ermordet.Während all seiner Reisen und den verschiedenen Etappen seiner Suche führte er durchgängig Tagebuch, schrieb Gedichte ebenso wie tiefgehende politische und gesellschaftliche Analysen. Teile seiner Schriften vertonten einige Weggefährt*innen im Dezember 2020 anlässlich seines Todestages zu einer musikalischen Lesung.Termine der Lese-Reise 2025 zum neuen Buch "Werde, der du bist":1.11.

Bindik Bir Alamete - Bölüm 18 (12 Kasım 2025)

Our miniseries Not Now, But Soon challenges the stories we often tell about disasters and explores how we can use speculative fiction to create better futures and policies.On our final episode of this season, host Malka Older examines the role art and fiction play in understanding war. She talks with art and culture historian Brigitte van der Sande, who has spent 25 years studying how war is represented in art—research that brought her to many active conflict zones. Van der Sande discusses how art humanizes the victims of war and spurs action, and how humor and imagination can be forces for resistance. Resources: “Inside Hell We Build Paradise.” Read more about van der Sande's visit to Rojava, Syria, as part of efforts to build democracy in the region. Check out Other Futures, a multidisciplinary festival that presents speculative visions of the future, founded by van der Sande in 2018. See artwork mentioned in this episode: “The Eyes of Gutete Emerita” and “Soft Target.”Learn more about van der Sande's latest project, Culture House FKA the Cannibals. This podcast is part of the Future Tense Fiction project, a speculative fiction series that uses imagination to explore how science and technology will shape our future. Read the short stories from the series published by Issues in Science and Technology.

Baran Sogut, a Sydney-based Kurdish community activist, was part of a delegation from Australia which, in September, visited the Democratic Autonoumous Administration of North and East Syria (DAANES), the third of Syria liberated by Kurdish freedom fighters from the Bashar al-Assad dictatorship in the Rojava revolution of 2012 and over the following years from the brutal and reactionary Islamic State of Syria (ISIS). The delegation included Greens Senator David Shoebridge, the first Australian parliamentarian to visit NE Syria, as well as Kurdish Greens Inner West councillor Ismet Tashtan. Sogut spoke to Green Left's Peter Boyle about the gains and challenges of the Rojava revolution and in particular about his visit to Kobane, the city that was liberated from a siege by several Islamic fundamentalist militias in 2014–15. The Battle of Kobane was the turning point in an heroic struggle to defeat ISIS. We acknowledge that this video was produced on stolen Aboriginal land.

Greens senator David Shoebridge speaks to Peter Boyle about his trip to the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria ("Rojava") - the first Australian politician to visit. They speak about the situation on the ground, the impact of the fall of the Assad dictatorship in Syria, threats from Israel and Türkiye, and the situation of Australian women and children who previously had alleged association with ISIS and are currently detained in Syria.

En Syrie, les agriculteurs du nord-est du pays ont été confrontés cet été à un nouvel épisode de sécheresse dramatique, notamment pour les récoltes de blé, une ressource pourtant indispensable à la population dont le pain représente la base de l'alimentation. La situation suscite l'inquiétude quant à la capacité de l'administration autonome du nord-est syrien (AANES) – l'entité politique dominée par les Kurdes en charge de la région – à poursuivre la distribution de pains subventionnés, à la base du contrat social du Rojava.  De notre correspondant de retour de Qamishli, Le long de la route défoncée qui relie Raqqa à Hassaké, longtemps considérée comme le grenier à blé de la Syrie, les propriétés agricoles autrefois florissantes sont difficiles à deviner dans la poussière. La Syrie a été confrontée cet été à la pire sécheresse depuis 36 ans. « La saison est très mauvaise, le climat est trop sec et il fait trop chaud. Et l'hiver dernier, il n'a pas plu, donc il n'y a plus d'eau dans les puits. » D'un ample geste de la main, Oum Raly embrasse son domaine : là le coton, ici les blés… Mais il n'y a pas grand-chose à voir : la surface cultivée s'est réduite à peau de chagrin. Ici, il faut désormais creuser à plus de 300 mètres pour dénicher un peu d'eau : « Avant, nous pompions l'eau grâce à des moteurs, mais le diesel est devenu trop cher. Alors, nous nous sommes endettés pour les remplacer par des panneaux solaires. Ici, chaque famille envoie un fils travailler en Allemagne ou en Turquie et ils renvoient de l'argent tous les ans. D'ici deux ans, peut-être que nous aurons remboursé nos dettes. » À écouter aussiSyrie: la sécheresse et le manque d'eau, un défi de plus pour la population et le nouveau pouvoir D'autres n'ont pas cette possibilité. Plus loin, sur la route, une femme, arrosoir à la main, le dos courbé, humecte péniblement son champ dont le sol est nervuré de larges crevasses : « Nous n'avons fait aucun profit cette saison, il a fallu que nous vendions tous nos moutons pour financer l'agriculture. Mais c'est un échec, nous n'avons rien gagné grâce à la terre. Si nous pouvions, nous partirions, mais pour aller où ? » Le blé, une ressource en chute libre Le Programme alimentaire mondial évalue une baisse de 40% de la production de blé en Syrie, une chute libre surveillée de près par les autorités kurdes. À Qamishli, Noursheen administre l'une des nombreuses boulangeries étatiques du nord-est syrien, véritable usine à pain : « Nous sommes confrontés à une crise du blé et de l'eau. Nous recevons encore de la farine et nous pouvons faire du pain tous les jours. Mais les quantités sont limitées et nous devons puiser dans les stocks des années précédentes, la qualité du pain s'en ressent. » Dans son dos, les galettes fumantes défilent sur un tapis, elles seront vendues à prix réduit à la population. Le pain est largement subventionné par les autorités kurdes en prise avec le pouvoir de Damas, une autre source d'inquiétude pour cet ouvrier : « Avec l'ancien régime, nous pouvions encore échanger du blé contre du pétrole. Mais là, le gouvernement de transition a coupé les routes et isole certaines régions kurdes, ils veulent mettre la pression sur l'administration autonome, et ça affecte la production de pain ! » À écouter aussiSyrie: la région de Deraa frappée par une pénurie d'eau sans précédent Avec ces contraintes politiques et climatiques, le prix du pain a doublé en quelques mois. De 1 500 livres syriennes le sac, il se vend désormais 3 000, soit un peu plus d'un dollar. Pour les habitants des quartiers modestes de Qamishli, comme Hamid, cette hausse des prix est alarmante : « Notre peuple est pauvre ! Il faudrait que l'administration fournisse le carburant et le pain sans chercher à faire de profit pour le soutenir. » Alors que se négocient âprement les conditions de la réunification du pays, les autorités du nord-est syrien sont vigilantes à préserver les bases du contrat social, et à ne pas laisser s'installer un climat de défiance.

Toplumun bir kesimi Türkiye'de ırkçılık değil "suça meyilli bir Kürt sorun" olduğunu düşünüyor. Peki bu fikir ne kadar gerçekçi? Trend Topic'in bu bölümünde Ozan Gündoğdu, Kürtlerin genetik ve kültürel açıdan suça eğilimli olma fikrini tümden gelerek ele alıyor. Aynı zamanda giderek uzaklaşmaya başladığımız barış olasılığını da bu bağlamda değerlendiriyor.

We are back on the Tiger Bloc Podcast! This episode, we've got returning guest “Charlie,”  with us to talk about Belarusian foreign fighters in Ukraine fighting against Russia. You may remember Charlie from our podcast with Ukrainian mutual aid group Solidarity Collectives. An underreported aspect of the war in Ukraine is the participation of Belarusian political dissidents fighting on the Ukrainian side. Charlie is Belarusian, and with John Chinaman, she discusses the recent history of the authoritarian Lukashenko regime and the people who fled. After Russia invaded Ukraine (again) in 2022, Charlie explains why people like her fight, how they're organized, and her experiences as a combat medic. It was a privilege to be able to talk to her about her work and the people who have their lives fighting against fascism. John and Charlie also talk about Marsy, a comrade to Charlie and so many other antifascists in Ukraine. A veteran of the revolution in Rojava, Marsy was killed fighting near Avdiivka on November 11, 2023. To support Charlie, donate for our friends with Solidarity Collectives, @solidaritycollectives on Instagram For more of Charlie and Marsy, check out this interview from SolCol: https://youtu.be/2Sdc6BY-ZB4Another great interview with Charlie: https://youtu.be/qViY9VJZsagMusic credit:Palm Tree Jam by Ronin SaediListen to more: ⁠https://viennaundergroundtraxx.bandcamp.com/album/cosmic-conscious⁠ ⁠https://open.spotify.com/artist/1BxaGq5S5A6Bck2DquttJM⁠

Episode Notes This week on Live Like the World is Dying, we have part two of a crossover episode with the Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness podcast, with our monthly feature zine Martyr Culture by Sara Blum., which is an essay about martyr culture within the Kurdish Freedom Movement. In the last episode we had an audio version of the zine as well as an interview with Sara about the piece and her time with the YPJ. Today's episode continues the interview. If you'd like to read the piece then check out our monthly features . You can also get a physical copy of our future monthly feature zines by signing up for our Patreon . Our June feature was generously provided by Sara Blum, an internationalist who spent several years with the YPJ in Rojava, to accompany and contextualize our newest book, Orso: Wartime Journals of an Anarchist, which is currently available for preorder as of right now at tangledwilderness.org, and will be regularly available/ship out in early-mid July. Orso contains the first-person narrative of Lorenzo Orso Orsetti–also known as Heval (he-vawl) Tekoser (teko-cher) Piling (pih-ling), now Sehid (sheh-heath) Tekoser (teko-cher) or “martyr Tekoser–an internationalist soldier in Rojava. This journal was published in its original Italian following Oro's death. We're excited to bring you the first English edition, which includes additional essays that share the historical and cultural context in which Orso lived, fought, and died. We're excited to bring his message to a new audience. The struggle against Daesh for an autonomous, liberated region in Rojava is bigger than one person, but one person's life can offer us a glimpse of a vast project and how one life can fit into it. Sara's essay helps build a backdrop for the world Orso gives us a glimpse of in his journals. This is part one of this episode, as the interview with Sara ended up being quite long. Tune in in 2 weeks for the second half of the interview, as next week is This Month in the Apocalypse on Live Like the World is Dying.

Episode Notes This time on Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness, we have part two of a crossover episode with the Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness podcast, with our monthly feature zine Martyr Culture by Sara Blum., which is an essay about martyr culture within the Kurdish Freedom Movement. In the last episode we had an audio version of the zine as well as an interview with Sara about the piece and her time with the YPJ. Today's episode continues the interview. If you'd like to read the piece then check out our monthly features. You can also get a physical copy of our future monthly feature zines by signing up for our Patreon . Our June feature was generously provided by Sara Blum, an internationalist who spent several years with the YPJ in Rojava, to accompany and contextualize our newest book, Orso: Wartime Journals of an Anarchist, which is currently available for preorder as of right now at tangledwilderness.org, and will be regularly available/ship out in early-mid July. Orso contains the first-person narrative of Lorenzo Orso Orsetti–also known as Heval (he-vawl) Tekoser (teko-cher) Piling (pih-ling), now Sehid (sheh-heath) Tekoser (teko-cher) or “martyr Tekoser–an internationalist soldier in Rojava. This journal was published in its original Italian following Oro's death. We're excited to bring you the first English edition, which includes additional essays that share the historical and cultural context in which Orso lived, fought, and died. We're excited to bring his message to a new audience. The struggle against Daesh for an autonomous, liberated region in Rojava is bigger than one person, but one person's life can offer us a glimpse of a vast project and how one life can fit into it. Sara's essay helps build a backdrop for the world Orso gives us a glimpse of in his journals. This is part one of this episode, as the interview with Sara ended up being quite long. Tune in in 2 weeks for the second half of the interview, as next week is This Month in the Apocalypse on Live Like the World is Dying. We won't get to it until the second half of the interview, but the word of the month this month is about those who are mindful.

In a world that rewards urgency, overwork, and perfectionism, what does it look like to return to ourselves—not through punishment, but through presence?This week, I share a personal story of falling out of alignment with my commitments—not from malice, but from fear, fatigue, and scarcity. I reflect on what it took to course-correct, to soften instead of self-judge, and to rebuild a rhythm rooted in integrity, self-trust, and care.I also explore examples from around the globe—stories of individuals and communities who are embodying integrity in the face of oppression, not through performance, but by building relationships, refusing silence, and staying aligned with their values even when the cost is high.Featured Stories in This Episode:Afro-German communities building self-sustaining infrastructure instead of relying on state validation.Saudi feminist scholar Hatoon al-Fassi, who risked imprisonment to hold truth to power through ancestral knowledge.Kurdish women in Rojava, co-creating democratic, feminist societies rooted in daily reflection and radical interdependence.Chicago's Black Youth Project 100, resisting performative allyship and investing in mutual aid rooted in “We take care of us.”Crown Heights Mutual Aid created multilingual hotlines, raised funds, distributed rent relief, and built lasting infrastructure.Each of these stories asks: What does it mean to stay rooted in your values when the pressure is to conform, perform, or disappear?Reflection Prompts: These are invitations to sit with, not solve. You don't need to write your way through them. You might take them on a walk. Move with them in your body. Breathe with them in silence. Let them live in you, in whatever way you need this week.Where in my life do I feel out of alignment with my commitments—not out of malice, but out of fear, fatigue, or uncertainty?What would it feel like, in my body, to return to integrity—not as a performance, but as a practice of self-trust?How can I hold myself with tenderness and accountability at the same time, the way a gardener both prunes and protects?https://www.transmutingwhitesupremacyandpatriarchy.com/ → Subscribe to the newsletter for weekly reflections like these → Learn more about the Cultivating Intersectional Leadership course → Follow along on Instagram and LinkedIn for more practices, invitations, and community conversationsLet's Stay in Practice—Together: This work isn't meant to be done alone.
