As Israel rained death on Iran, Iranians mobilized mutual aid and grassroots solidarity. I wrote about practices of hope under the bombs: "Mutual aid offers a way to act collectively and politically, under the radar, and is a practice of imagination." thepublicsource.org/tehran-solidar…

After the pager attacks last year, we reached out to Jasbir K. Paur, author of “The Right to Maim.” Read her thoughts on why such a tactic was used and what is being normalized through it: thepublicsource.org/blog/lebanon-f…

الحكومة وضعت حلّ جمعية رسالات بندًا ثانيًا في جلستها الإثنين. حل جمعية يعني: سحب العلم والخبر، حظر النشاط، مصادرة الأملاك (أو يطبق النظام الداخلي إذا نصّ على ذلك)، وتطبيق أحكام جزائية على الأعضاء إذا تابعوا أي نشاط بعد الحل لاعتبارها "جمعية سرية". هذه بلطجة سياسية تهدّد كل جمعية

Nawaf Salam brought the government to a standstill and almost ignited civil strife over the projection of images on the Raouche Rocks. His weeks-long childish tantrum was meant to prove "هيبة الدولة". But crickets after the Jeita Grotto fiasco as the blame game kicks off.

"الوضوح مبدأ، والوضوح ذكاء. الوضوح شجاعة، والوضوح مقاومة. هكذا كان يرى رفعت الحياة. بعيدًا عن الدروس النظريّة، كان يعيش حياةً غنيةً بالحركة والنشاط والتقدم والعمل، في وقت تاه فيه الناس بشتى طرق التململ والتنظير والتثاقل والتشعّب فيما يفيد ولا يفيد."

Great thread on what independent media is and isn't and why you should support your local independent media outlets. Support can be financial, but helping with distribution and reach also matters.

This campaign is immensely important and absolutely necessary. Most importantly, we offer help and support while preserving people’s dignity — without exposing their vulnerability or compromising their sense of worth. This is a campaign for those who have no campaign. Your
