Invited to address a conference in Berlin about my work in Gaza hospitals during the present conflict.
The German government has forcibly prevented me from entering the country
Silencing a witness to genocide before the ICJ adds to Germany's complicity in the ongoing massacre.

The Israel-India worker deal resembles British indenture

India and Israel are dusting off time-worn strategy from colonial archive: importing & exporting racially marked temporary labor to manage political and economic problems in one fell swoop.

CIJA wants to starve Palestinians.

Just like the Israeli settlers blocking aid trucks.

This is so absolutely vile. And so on-brand for CIJA.

Conditional empathy for settler citizens killed, but no solidarity with the Palestinians being massacred on the daily.

And still no meaningful action from Canada - Stop! Arming! Israel!

It's the first which means it's time to flip your Certain Days. April's art is this gorgeous Tortuguita memorial by taller ahuehuete. Tortuguita should be celebrating their 28th birthday this month.

Speak with your full chests, your words will be distorted anyway.

Anti-Zionism becomes anti-Semitism. Calls to end fascist regimes becomes genocide. Decolonization is somehow expulsion. Resistance is caricatured as terrorism.

Say it: Fascist Zionist entity must be abolished.

You all have seen it today, it's really awful what israel did in the Shifa Hospital and around it, 400 bodies were found till this moment

Words, images, and videos can't even describe 1% of the atrocities that happened to civilians and children

They raped women, starved…

There is no way to have an analysis of borders without centering Palestinian liberation.

You cannot analyze bordering regimes or proclaim 'Right to stay, freedom to move, and right to return' if you are not thinking about and in deep solidarity with Palestinian freedom struggle.

Six years ago, Marielle Franco was assassinated. A queer Black feminist councillor defending the favelas in Rio & an advocate against police corruption and violence.

Today, three arrests were made in her murder: two politicians (Brazão brothers) and former *head of the police.*

This, the same time US is talking about reopening Guantánamo (itself an omnipotent symbol of US imperialism in Cuba) to detain & deport Haitians, *while* escalating imperialist intervention in Haiti.

While different, there is synergy here: disposession, containment, expulsion.

Moves to characterize violence in Haiti, Sudan, Congo as 'internal conflict' is anti-Black working of empire.

From assassination of Lumumba to coup against Aristide, from EU/UAE/Israel-backed RSF to US-backed First Congo War & resource wars - there is long legacy of imperialism.

Except that not a single Gazan has actually made it to Canada under the temporary family reunification program.

And only 12 people have even been able to get through the highly invasive and racist security screening process.

'They voted for a thing and now we have to make them do it.'

Let me say - if we have to make them do it still, they didn't actually do the thing.

forever in the 'Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will' (Gramsci) & 'Claim no easy victories' (Cabral) camp.

Stay mad

Frontiers of border militarization are increasingly countries in global periphery.

This externalizes EU border to Syrian, Sudanese, Palestinian refugees fleeing via Egypt.

Plus, it maintains Egypt's normalization w/ Israel & migration as key condition for imperial diplomacy.

Abolish the digital border, abolish all borders!

Biden is pursuing network of 1,000 surveillance towers, 5,800 new border & immigration security officers, new $4.7 billion Southwest Border Contingency Fund, more emergency authority to shut the border.
