A Bus Ride with Turks and Their Children

On a ferry in Istanbul, surrounded by the genetic tapestry of the Bosphorus, I realised we were all passengers on a bus with an ever-changing destination. The sign over the windscreen says "Turk", but the route—and who gets to board—has been repainted for over a millennium.

Harry Potter – An ANTIFA Manual 3/3

The Harry Potter series is a political allegory of resistance to fascism and injustice. The Ministry’s corruption mirrors real authoritarian regimes, while the Order and D.A. embody revolution. Through diverse, oppressed characters, Rowling links personal struggle to collective resistance. Drawing on European history and modern wars, she exposes prejudice and power abuse. Her message: equality and solidarity are the strongest magic against tyranny.

Food, Beyond The Mirror

Content Warning: This article includes references to eating disorders. We encourage readers to engage only if they feel comfortable with this topic. “This sickness is like having a little devil voice in your head all the time, telling you that you eat too much, you look too fat, you’re not good enough… That devil follows you everywhere, all the time, and for some of us our whole lives.” 

Fashion, Aesthetics and the Rise of the Right

By romanticising tradition, whiteness, and hierarchy, these "old money" and "quiet luxury" aesthetics turn nostalgia into a quiet form of conservatism. Much like in the 1930s, fashion once again mirrors a longing for order and moral certainty. What looks elegant or neutral often hides exclusion and privilege. In the end, style becomes a subtle way of saying the past felt safer—and should be our future.

Tales of Resistance

Resistance is not just individual heroism, collective action shapes history. From the Canuts of Lyon to the women of Grand-Bassam, these stories show that unity and courage can challenge even the strongest powers.
