This is why comradeship based on ethnic/racial and religious lines is and has always been ridiculous — it doesn’t mean shared interest or values. Class + workers struggle first and foremost, and the sooner people reckon with it, the better the world will be.

The United States 1st veto was to protect Rhodesia.

Its 2nd veto was to defend Israel’s attack on Syria.

Its 3rd and 4th veto were to protect South Africa’s occupation of Namibia and apartheid in South Africa.

This!

The ban on the keffiyeh in the ontario legislature is wrong.

I understand the importance of wearing a piece of clothing that is part of who you are and where you come from.

This ban sends a clear message — who doesn’t belong in the halls of power.

New Democrats stand in…

lowkey this might be the most joyful any ivy league campus has ever been, we love to see it 🥹

we are still out here ‼️❤️‍🩹

and if we do nothing else in the short time we have on this earth, let it be that we stood on our feet,wore out our voices,used our bodies as stubborn wedges, trampling a machine of death, and ignited a spark to protect what will pass us all—to protect life and witness liberation

this happened the same day the US vetoed a UN Security Council resolution to admit Palestine into the UN. A resolution supported by most of the members of the council.

The US is one of the greatest hindrances to peace and it’s all on Biden

Israel is bombing Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, and now Iran

we are being dragged into a regional war by a single rogue nation

You know that today in Lebanon we are commemorating another Israeli massacre: when Israel slaughtered civilians sheltered at a UN compound in April 1996. 106 were killed and 116 injured, at least.

This genocide is handmade in the USA:

I need you to understand: what you do & fail to do right now will shape the course of 'the writing world' for years to come. Inshallah some of you grow a spine. Inshallah some of you stay irrelevant. Inshallah some of you are de-platformed beneath your own rubble.

Imagine being a young writer (let alone a palestinian) & seeing every single day, a former favorite writer betray you, an org once doing historical work suffocating itself in a wall of imperial silence, your country not only genociding your people but desecrating their graves

Beautifully said

I was on a PACBI call recently & as I expressed how the US lit establishment showing their asses for >7 months straight has made me more pessimistic than ever before, a friend noted: 'This sentiment is widespread among young writers. Y'all are alienating a whole generation rn'

phew
