Everybody, here's the facts. Stopping the Palestinian genocide is severely constrained by the global hegemony of the United States & its alliance with Israel. You don't have the power to do everything to stop it. But as long as it continues to go on, you need to pay attention to it, & speak on it.

literally almost everyone i know in NYC who went out last weekend tested positive. even those who were masking. pls mandate masking if you are organizing a protest. you do not care about your community if you don't care about protecting each other from covid.

Jamaal Bowman is more of a clown than he is a congressman. His lack of seriousness and AIPAC money defeated him in a primary election. The lesson is to fight for and mobilize the people, who will support those who support them and their needs. Read my latest.

It’s also of course very hard to do a proper “risk assessment” for Kenya because there’s a layer that happens in English and a layer that happens in Kiswahili and a layer that happened in peoples regional languages.

The worker-owners at PCB endorse the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic & Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI). While we have informally observed the boycott up to this point, we believe it is important to sign on formally to this call for resistance.

It's fair to tag me as "from a military family" given I have such intense feelings about my great grandfather's service in the Civil War, and several generations after served. I'd say that we were more pragmatic than patriotic too. I use past tense because no one my age or younger got caught up.
