Men really don't like it when women do the leadership thing that the men asked the women to do because they, the men, did not want to do it.

Pro-Palestinian friends, we can say, 'not our problem,' or 'means nothing compared to genocide,' or we can say, this, too, is abomination, this is never the way--and in doing so grow the coalition for Palestinian freedom, & being human, in general. forward.com/fast-forward/6…

Fascinating letter from Hillel student leaders to the off-campus Jewish community.

“We cannot have a clearer ask for the off-campus Jewish community: stay off our campus. Do not fund any actions on campus. Do not protest on campus. Your actions are harming Jewish students.”

Is this AI? Or a mockumentary?

What will YOU say to a graduating class this year if you have to say something. Just, I love you? Or, I love you please don't give up? I have fantasies of asking everyone to rise and shout something. What can we all shout (at graduation)? Just NO, NO, NO?

'Human nature should not dictate policy because human nature is too petty' (best statement from a chair ever)

So cool to see this tenth anniversary issue of Touch the Donkey. Thanks rob mclennan.

Let's fight fascism! Wherever it rears its nasty noggin. Friends who quibble over correctness of term 'genocide,' remember that what matters is mass murder, whatever you call it. Friends who'd rather argue w/ those other friends--let's stay focused on stopping the killing first.

Although no news in USA seem interested in reporting it, Russia bombed Odesa again today: multiple casualties, including children, scores of wounded and dead.
