We discuss the cowardice on display at the Berlinale film festival (https://deadline.com/2026/02/tilda-swinton-javier-bardem-open-letter-berlinale-israel-1236727451/). Ladan also laments her own cowardice when she was faced with the moral quandary of accidentally giving directions to a nationality who support bombing hospitals and kids (https://en-social-sciences.tau.ac.il/sites/socsci-english.tau.ac.il/files/media_server/social/peaceindex/2024-01-findings.pdf?utm_source=palestine.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=how-95-of-jewish-israelis-support-a-plausible-genocide). We also discuss Ash Wednesday, pinkwashing (https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/resource/pinkwashing/), which Christians are the most authentic and also my favourite film of the week.

The Apocalypse and the Imperial Boomerang
"F**k ICE"? but pro Israel and/or silent on Palestine? Yup...sounds about lib™ to me! Ladan and Alia discuss Hollywood vapidness amidst the crackdowns in Iran and the chickens coming home to roost in America with ICE.
We also express our devotion to our political crush Ilhan Omar after she was attacked. (https://apnews.com/article/ilhan-omar-attack-sprayed-town-hall-attack-c785b49b2c770b7aed1cdbb75df0a35f)

A Somali, A White Liberal and a Lesbian Walk into a Bar
What do white liberals, lesbians and Somalis have in common? Not much! However, the recent increase in violent and hostile ICE activities in Minnesota may be the catalyst that brings us together. We discuss how Somalis are currently the centre of the world (both in America and in wider geopolitics), how we misjudged white liberals and we also unpack lesbophobia in the context of the horrific k*lling of Renee Good.
