BOYCOTT, DIVEST, SANCTION ~ "Microsoft is perhaps the most complicit tech company in Israel’s illegal apartheid regime and ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza. Microsoft’s complicity in Israel’s apartheid and genocide is well documented, exposing its strong ties to the Israeli military, its collaboration with Israeli government ministries, and its involvement in the Israeli prison system, which is notorious for systematic torture and abuse of Palestinians. Microsoft knowingly provides Israel with technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), that is deployed to facilitate grave human rights violations, war crimes, crimes against humanity (including apartheid), as well as genocide. In light of the International Court of Justice’s legally-binding rulings to prevent Israel’s plausible genocide in Gaza, as well as its July 19 Advisory Opinion affirming Israel’s illegal occupation and apartheid system, Microsoft has failed its corporate obligation to prevent genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity."

‘They stole my humanity’: Abu Ghraib survivors are still fighting for justice. More than 20 years since the revelations of US torture at Abu Ghraib, three victims were awarded victory in a federal lawsuit against the military contractor complicit in their torture. In a landmark 2023 case, three former detainees successfully sued private contractor CACI, winning $42 million in damages for their suffering. In a recent article Progressive International looks beyond the case of Suhail al-Shimari, Salah al-Ejaili, and Asa’ad al-Zubae. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Meanwhile we take a look at CACI: an American multinational professional services and information technology company headquartered in Northern Virginia. CACI provides services to many branches of the US federal government including defense, homeland security and intelligence. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Not many people in Higher Education seem to be aware that CACI also owns Osiris, "the study information system which keeps track of all your results".

It is with huge respect and admiration that we share this message from BAK's Supervisory Board: "On 30 June 2025, after 25 years of service, BAK’s founding director Maria Hlavajova will step down from her position as general director. Hlavajova leaves behind a legacy of unique international practice of convening artists, scholars, and a multitude of other social actors at the theoretically informed and politically driven base. Committed to art and political imagination, and driven by the urgency of social and ecological justice, under her leadership BAK has realized numerous globally recognized projects." ~~~~ For DAI and for countless practitioners in its orbit, BAK for all those years has been a beacon ~ a rare, precious hub ~ a school, a camp, a base ~ a tonic. No BAK without Maria: but we are relieved and excited to know that with great care for BAK's important legacy, Maria and the Supervisory Board support the transformation of BAK towards the collectively artist-led Basecamp for Tactical Imaginaries, under the guidance of long-time artist associate of BAK, Jeanne van Heeswijk.
