Video shows ICE agents detaining a man in North Hollywood, and then pointing a handgun directly in the face of an apparently unarmed bystander during a tense encounter.

Mahmoud’s book No Land to Stand On is a devastating and essential story of his time in ICE detention, his childhood in Syria, and his experience as a negotiator at Columbia. In typical Mahmoud fashion, he insists that there are people far braver than him, who have made more sacrifices than him. He wants you to know the stories of the men he was detained with. They too were separated from their families and held without any charge. In his writing, Mahmoud turns every moment into an opportunity to advocate for others. With honesty and lyricism, he takes on the daunting task of drawing out the connections between struggles—the movement for Palestinian liberation, the fight for the immigrant’s rights, and the battle to protect free speech—turning the seemingly separate issues into one: the struggle for a society in which people hold the power. He takes inspiration from black and Palestinian writers, listing Edward Said, Angela Davis, Mahmoud Darwish, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Mourid Barghouti, and Susan Abulhawa as some of his influences. While writing this book, he told me, he was reading Mohammed el-Kurd’s Perfect Victims and began each day reading James Baldwin. On Oct. 15, I spoke to Mahmoud over Zoom about our time at Columbia, the role of higher education in laying the groundwork for attacks on free speech, and the importance of community movement building, among many other things. Four days later, his legal team submitted an appeal to the Supreme Court. Until the court makes a decision, he cannot be deported or detained and can remain in the United States with his wife and son.

Given that we’re all being filmed and filming ourselves all the time, how can it be exploitative to put someone on camera? The two movies this fall directed by Lance Oppenheim, Primetime and You Can See Everything (which he co-directed with Nathan Fielder), explore voluntary surveillance and the ethics of non-fiction. Together, they share an interest in the violence and vulnerability of seeing and being seen in a sickly recursive popular culture.

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, conceded defeat on Sunday in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government. It was a seismic political shift in the Balkan country where Vucic, who had been endorsed by Russian President Vladimir Putin and who denounced the student movement as a foreign-led attempt to unseat him, led with virtually absolute power for 14 years. Almost immediately, crowds flooded the streets of the capital Belgrade and other Serbian cities in an outburst of euphoric celebration.

New reporting by the Guardian shed fresh light on the impacts of Google’s deforestation. After the 1,300 acres of pristine boreal forests were reduced to tracts of mud and stumps, fauna which once called the woods home has been forced to vacate. In the felling-site near the Finnish village of Otanmäki, the ensuing loss of prey has forced packs of wolves to search for food elsewhere: nearby villages. “We had wolves coming into the village because all the wild animals moved out of the forest,” 53-year-old Otanmäki resident Anni Ranta told the Guardian. “They fled.” Though Ranta’s family has called the area home for generations, the tumult has her considering whether to move out of Otanmäki for good.
