I'm so proud to have this piece in @thenation.com. It's by
journalist Mohammed Mhawish, and it's about what happened when he fled Gaza with his family. I know there's a lot going on in the news, but please, please read this. You need to know what Israel is doing. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Everything about how AIPAC intervened in the Bowman-Latimer race is grotesque, and no matter your feelings about Bowman, what happened in his primary is antithetical to how a democracy should function

we're seeing such clear echoes of the tactics that governments across america used to suppress the 2020 protests. to have the movement for palestine even be in the neighborhood of representing that kind of threat to the us establishment is a remarkable development.

I'm bowled over by the beautiful response to Lujayn's piece. There's a ton of attention on the amazing student movement right now. Let this piece be a reminder of what that movement is about: ensuring that people in Gaza like Lujayn can live in peace and freedom.

Today in @thenation.com we have a piece by Lujayn, a 14-year-old girl in Gaza, that has floored me every time I've read it. It's about what happened when an Israeli bulldozer came to destroy the house she was staying in, and you must, must, must read it. www.thenation.com/article/worl...
