Dozens of Columbia students and community members have barricaded themselves inside the Hamilton building to protest the University’s complicity in the genocidal war on Gaza. Hundreds of students are picketing outside the building as well as the encampment.

We want to introduce you to some young poets in Gaza.

Through the genocide, they have not stopped writing.

Most have been made homeless.

All want to escape.

They need all of our help, so we want to tell you about them. 🧵

For Literary Hub, Huda Fakhreddine هدى فخر الدين and I wrote a few words about Mohammad Saleh, a young poet who was killed in Gaza in Oct.

Keep Mohammad’s work and memory alive.

It was used to justify mass slaughter, and should be cited in The Hague when this is all over.

NYC: this is your last chance to see Téa Obreht read from her magnificent new novel before she diminishes and goes (back) into the west 🦬

Tonight, SomedayBarNYC in Brooklyn, 7PM

They were buried alive, the son died with his arms wrapped around his father’s shoulders. Biden sent the bomb.

This is such a profoundly strange way to live, constantly laundering your ideological preferences through pseudoscientific public opinion tea leaf-reading. Just say you disagree w/ the protestors and think killing 17,000+ Palestinian children is justified, it takes way less labor

Many thanks to friend of the site Pamela Paul for the new tote bag idea.

Israel has killed over 100 journalists & media workers in Gaza/Lebanon in less than 7 months. Committee to Protect Journalists has described it as the deadliest conflict for reporters on record. Not only has Israel deliberately targeted journalists, but they’ve massacred their families too.

Imagine talking about voting for decency when the guy you are talking about has sponsored the slaughter of over 15,000 Palestinian children and refuses to stop.

Eat shit.

This event tonight was truly one of the most shameful things in recent American history.

This guy is so close to understanding something.

While everyone is rightly dunking on PEN America leadership, I’d like to give a shoutout to hardworking, principled staff, especially the members of PEN America United who have been fighting for a contract for 18 months.
