Important song. Well done!

What were the gunmen so afraid of?

I know many Jews find it upsetting to hear Israel called racist. But in the West Bank, Jews enjoy citizenship, due process, free movement + the right to vote for the govt that controls their lives. Their Palestinian neighbors enjoy none of these rights. What would you call that?

And once he was a freedom fighter...muy triste.

See the strong review in the Boston Review of my film "From Wounded Knee to Standing Rock: A Reporter's Journey." And read Joel Whitney's excellent summary of the radical changes that activists brought to Indian Country during the last 50 years. bostonreview.net/articles/wound…

Wasn't in 1973 that the FBI got its SWAT team? I know there was a turf war at Wounded Knee between the FBI and the Marshals Service over which was the lead agency. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI_Speci…

“Imagine that someone has plagiarized your work. But more than plagiarized your work, they have stolen your ancestors. They’ve stolen your life story,” said Ben Barnes, chief of the Shawnee Tribe Native groups accuse KU professors of being ‘pretendians’ kansascity.com/news/article27…

Re what this arms merchant said about promoting "reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples".... OK, remind me: what was it again that George Orwell said about language?

Long overdue.

Mindful moment in Belfast, Ireland belfastmedia.com/wounded-knee-t…

BREAKING: Canada's brutal national police are again arresting Indigenous peoples trying to protect their own lands - this time the Pacheedaht nation in British Columbia. Brave reporting by Brandi Morin. The RCMP has to be the most anti-Indigenous police force in the world.⤵️

What used to be the stuff of SNL skits is now a sign of the times. R.I.P. satire. theguardian.com/world/2023/aug…

With Biden’s backing, the Israeli govt’s cut off of water, food, electricity and fuel to Gaza are classical conditions for genocidal violence under int'l law. You’ve disgraced what our country should stand for, Delaware Joe, and are fueling the dangerous expansion of this war. -R

You don’t have to be Palestinian to care about what’s happening in Gaza. I stand with Palestine. No one is free until everyone is free.

Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s right-wing prime minister, said yesterday that Israel would oversee Gaza’s security for “an indefinite period” after the war. Really? Should US funds support a long-term military occupation over an already battered & impoverished people? I think not.

At a time when some 16,000 Palestinians have been killed in the last 2 months, two-thirds women and children, & 1.8 million displaced from their homes, NO. I don't think it's a good idea to hand another $10 billion to Israel's right-wing extremist government no strings attached.

A Democratic voice of reason.
