"I think writing and literacy (and writing cultures) are obsessed with one-to-one meaning making. This kind of reliance on the word is flawed." -Rajiv Mohabir speaking to Urvashi 🖤 wordswithoutborders.org/read/article/2…

Almost got hit by a cop walking my dog. "I didn't see you..." Anyway, ACAB for Cutie: youtube.com/watch?v=3iV_1E…

Described by the author as "both essay and poem, a tango with time" and by Judge Rajiv Mohabir Rajiv Mohabir as "a piecing together of beautiful poem-threads into a jarring love story through anaphora and ever-telescoping intimacies,"

A pretty shocking clip from today. An LAPD officer on horseback tramples a protester who then falls in front of another horse. As others try to help the protester up, an LAPD officer wields a blunt weapon to strike the protester, but strikes a nearby horse in the head.

IRAN! Wtwf

Special shout out to the “it started on Oct 7th” people.

BREAKING: As Netanyahu and Trump escalate threats against Iran, Israel guns down starving Palestinians waiting for food at U.S. aid points in Gaza. Over 100 killed in less than 24 hours. Genocide in real time.

I honestly believe this is one of the biggest mysteries there is, Orcas are the most efficient predators on earth, yet they have never attacked us in the wild. They know something we don’t.

BREAKING: This is not Gaza. This is not Beirut. This is Damascus. Israel is raining bombs on Syria’s capital, targeting civilian neighborhoods and government sites, in one of the oldest cities on Earth — a city that has stood for over 11,000 years.

JUST IN - Amal Clooney, human rights lawyer and wife of actor George Clooney, may face U.S. sanctions, including a potential travel ban, for advising the International Criminal Court in a war crimes case against Israeli officials. This is how Occupied America is.

Starvation, once in motion, even after food & medical care become availabe, remains irreversible for so many of its victims. It's a greater sin than the sin itself to be have spoken only after the sight of skin-on-bones killed Palestinians. An unforgiveable "theology of empire."

Western countries will never be forgiven for their role in the deliberate and mass starvation of innocent children, in front of our eyes, in the year 2025. Genocide.

Let’s call it what it is: ▪️ Gaza is being genocided — by Israel. ▪️ The U.S. and its allies are enabling it. ▪️ Every major Western leader is complicit. ▪️ The media has sanitized the horror. ▪️ No spin can excuse this.
