OBVIOUS FACTS - Palestinians are human beings. Israel and the US are committing GENOCIDE against Palestinians. The refusal of Western governments to stop this GENOCIDE makes them guilty as well.

While we’re waiting for whatever fresh hell Friday brings, a reminder that the Court has already caused a bunch of harm this term. I wrote about one example of this for Balls & Strikes: ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/starb...

The Supreme Court’s War on Working People Just Got a Little Worseballsandstrikes.org The decision in Starbucks v. McKinney is part of a long tradition of the Supreme Court claiming the power of working people for itself.

Yesterday was the anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre. There are two survivors left. Ages 109. I think a lot about the failure of this nation to address this atrocity and many others. Not from the 17th, 18th or 19th century, but the 20th. And the determination of those survivors to live so long.

I am so sick of white people leading these thought exercises about Black people being brutalized in a parallel universe. Black people are being brutalized RIGHT NOW for merely existing.

I often post photos from bike rides around Detroit. Here is an excellent story of how some of these neighborhoods end up so devastated: industry buys up lots, neglects them, buys more for cheaper, then starts operating a concrete plant to poison the residents who don't want to or can't move away

Cadillac Heights concrete plant built illegally in Detroitwww.bridgedetroit.com It's the latest example of the city allowing special dispensations for heavy industry operations nestled in majority-Black neighborhoods.

My op-ed for The Hill on the Antisemitism Awareness Act. There are many horrible things about the proposed act: it would silence Palestinians; it wld violate academic freedom & 1st Amend. It wld also ban the teaching of huge swaths of left-wing Jewish history thehill.com/opinion/educ...

The Antisemitism Awareness Act bars the teaching of modern Jewish historythehill.com Congress has no business defining what it means to be Jewish.

Today - on the 76th anniversary of the Nakba - two Palestinian organizers and I released Popular Cradle, a podcast about the history and politics of the Palestinian liberation struggle, from the far diaspora. Our first episode is “History Doesn’t Start With the Nakba” - youtu.be/_B64j4J1tOM?...

History Doesn't Start With the Nakba (Popular Cradle ep. 1)youtu.be In our first episode of Popular Cradle, organizers Mohammed, Yara, and Rhiannon talk about the history of Palestinian resistance to Zionism, and why that story doesn't start with the Nakba. Popular Cradle is made in partnership with the Palestinian Youth Movement. Thank you to the many people who contributed to the making of this episode. Our artwork is by shenby G and Vivek Venkatraman. Our theme music is by Salma Taleb. Follow, like, and subscribe to us on YouTube, Twitter, and IG - @popularcradle.

The UNRWA just had to shut down their East Jerusalem HQ because settlers keep setting the property on fire. This will receive exactly zero commentary on the inherent lack of moral compass or brutality of Israelis in the manner that a questionable chant by pro-Palestinian protesters would.

There are 1.3 million people in Rafah and there's no place left to run. People are fleeing to the coast and back to Khan Younis, which has already been devastated by Israel I cannot imagine the terror of being chased by IDF back and forth from one bombed out wasteland to another

Climate justice requires not only acknowledging the disproportion harms done via climate change & ecological destruction but also the inequitable conditions created through colonialism/settler-colonialism, racial capitalism, white supremacy & patriarchy that exacerbated the vulnerabilities globally.

After all: are they terrorists or not? Or did Palestinian babies, children, women, elderly people have some more lethal weapons?

The US media, pundits, spin doctors & politicians are salivating with warmongering & unironic double-standards. All because Islamophobia, xenophobia & racism are the modus operandi & currency of white supremacy. But young folks are more clear-eyed now & the rest of world always saw the hypocrisy.

Prove that you are human.

When the mighty US seems incapable of ending Israel’s genocide in Gaza. When Congress puts forward bills for Tic Toc to be sold, apparently because young people are seeing the atrocities being committed in Gaza. It makes it difficult to counter the false narrative that “The Jews” control the world.

Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994; mass shootings dropped by 43%. George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004; mass shootings increased by 245%. These numbers tell the whole story.

Biden played himself by supporting Netanyahu’s war. Netanyahu knows that continuing his assault on Gaza, increases the chance that Arab American voters stay home in October, which raises the likelihood of Trump’s return. When given 2 horrendous options, voters can choose neither. They have a choice!
