"I think my head's about to explode" is what I say to myself when something too grotesque, absurd, horrible, or insanely hypocritical is happening - and I think it's how many of us feel when witnessing injustice.In my podcast, to deconstruct that feeling, I talk about interconnected systems of oppression. Militarism, imperialism, colonialism, and several other -isms are inevitably there.My political commentary has been about Palestine since the beginning and is mostly on Gaza these days.You can read more about my projects here: http://www.justinaposkeviciute.com/

You might have seen both pieces of news of very unequal importance this week: Israeli soldiers doing yoga (a video released on Yoga Day), and the findings of the UN inquiry, concluding that the genocide in Gaza continues
This is not your regular trial. This is not your usual court. Because this is not a normal country. In my video, I invite you to Zoom out and remember what we're actually seeing when Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the director o
You might have noticed how the words of condemnation by our leaders towards Israeli treatment, not even necessarily kidnapping, of the Global Sumud Flotilla participants carry zero weight. These are the words that mean a
The kidnapping from international waters of Thiago Avila and Saif Abu Keshek from the Global Sumud Flotilla by Israeli forces, as well as their illegal detention in Israel, is yet another example of the horrors that the
Choosing to interview someone like Germany's former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Annalena Baerbock, who history - and, hopefully, the International Court of Justice - will remember as a war criminal and a genocide enable
The fall of my government into a moral abyss, together with Israel, is, indeed, endless. I've been documenting it for two and a half years now, with no lack of shameful instances to comment on. My video is an example of
The new scale of Israel's destruction of Lebanon should have shocked and shaken everyone. And in a world where morals play a role in politics, we would have seen outrage, condemnation, and the cutting of ties - years too
My video is a reflection on what and who have been presented to us as 'rational' and 'irrational' for decades. I invite you to see through this constructed narrative, as we know now that it is being used by those who hav
We shouldn't be surprised: Those who can't condemn the mass murder of brown children now can't do it when it comes to the pain of an unseen magnitude unleashed onto black people in the past (an injustice that's nowhere n
If you can't recognize the war propaganda now, you might never be able to. See how blatant it is, how uniform, how predictable (and then, how destructive - just look at Iran and Lebanon now). In this short episode, I inv
We're being led by psychopaths, and they're not leading us to anywhere great. What we need are more countries like Spain and Italy (former allies), saying they won't be part of the U.S. and Israel's war on Iran. What we
No one is here to defend the Iranian regime and how it treats youth or children. But to stay silent when international law is being violated, and children are being targeted, again, by Israel, would be enabling its impun
What we're seeing in Cuba is an intensification of imperial violence by those who have been unleashing it on Palestine, too. The parallels here are many, including how the mentality of a coloniser cannot be more on displ
If you watched the U.S. Attorney Pam Bondi contemptuously deflect questions about the Epstein files in a recent hearing, you might have had a strong reaction to it in your nervous system. I had it -- for two scary reason
n addition to the more obvious parallels between Israel's destruction of Gaza, the violence described in the Epstein files, and Epstein's direct connection to Israel, there's yet another parallel I want to draw your atte
I think it can't be clearer that polite self-silencing, smallness, and not being unapologetically anti-fascist aren't serving us. Because even if you choose to engage with reality less, it remains the same: International
As the year is ending, I wanted to comment on a video with you that I think is the perfect summary of what Israel has done - or what our spineless governments have allowed Israel to do - to international law in the most
My episode is my quick holiday message for you: for all those whose worlds have crumbled and hearts have broken in recent years, and for those who have refused to choose apathy over solidarity and compassion ❤️💔 --- I i
In short, Israel will be allowed to compete at Eurovision this year. What it shows is nothing shocking: that there is nothing - morals, legal consequences, human rights of European citizens themselves - that is above Eur
I think we've all had enough with a 'fragile ceasefire': a state in which Israel's crimes continue with impunity. In short, Israel's fascist regime can continue doing literally anything it wants -- and still control the
