Thinking about Fatima, a little girl from in Beirut who was using humor to cope. In a video she laughs and says “If I get killed, dont wear black clothes, because my heart isnt black, it’s red. Wear rainbow or pink instead.” Israel killed her and her entire family as they slept.

Arabs are about 6% of the world population, but make up half of all the world's refugee population. This situation was created overwhelmingly by the polices the US took since 2001 and it's allies have taken since the end of WW2.

A third of the way through and already I can see that this is a must read. ‘Capitalism’ and its critique was first developed by the French reactionary Right and only later taken over by a (largely Christian) socialist Left. Today’s Left vastly overstresses the Hegel-Marx thing.

Even if you've never done BDS before: Boycotting between now and January 1st will hit corporations the hardest. They make most of their money for the year in these last 5 weeks. So, how little can you spend on the death machine? 🙏🏼❤💚🤍🖤

Beautiful Malcolm X quote about his time in Egypt on the wall tiling of the 110th Street 2/3 subway station in Harlem. “I lived in Egypt. I stayed in Egypt, and I was among brothers and I felt the spirit of brotherhood.”

How you treat people is your true poetics. Exploit people and you’ll tend to see language as “doing all this work for you,” when you haven’t imagined anything of substance. Craft begins in the interpersonal not the internal. How you treat people is how you’ll treat the reader

This is the biggest labor fight that nobody is talking about — it involves more than 250,000 workers and impacts every block of every city and suburb in America.

NEW: USPS letter carriers tell us they’re sleeping in their vehicles and bathing at union halls because they get paid poverty wages. They were promised a historic new contract this year. Instead, they were offered 1.3% raises. Now they’re revolting.

In 1977, Ariel Sharon declared za’atar a ‘protected plant', making it illegal for Palestinians to pick. In 2005, akkoub a similar fate. Ironic given how much ISR has destroyed and uprooted zataar fields with bulldozers. Both herbs are essential in Palestinian culture and cuisine

Palestinian erasure takes many forms. Here’s @JewishFood taking the most quintessential Palestinian herb and spice mix and claiming it as Israeli.
