Hossam Shabat is 21 and was supposed to be a junior in college studying journalism. Instead he’s discovering mass graves.

Didn't cost them a penny.

It's all paid for by the American denial of healthcare, child poverty, widespread homelessness, and crushing student debt.

That's the American social contract. We have these dynamics at home, so we can have consequence-free genocides abroad.

Losing the NYT is quite a feat by Israel

say it with me: libraries, social services, schools, affordable housing, healthcare.

Endless shame on Hobart and William Smith for suspending Jodi Dean from teaching. That used to be an institution with respect for academic freedom.

Just unspeakably horrific

RIP #FaithRinggold . I saw her tapestry, while being prosecuted, when the (quoted) words of Harriet Tubman could not have rung truer: “There was one of two things I had a right to: liberty or death. If I could not have one, I would take the other, for no man should take me alive.”

to have lived in the time of Faith Ringgold. rest in power.

happy I got to see what your hands can do while we were still compossible on this plane. asë to a wondrous ancestral ascension.

If only the United States would stop bombing the world if only the United States would stop bombing the world if only the United States would stop bombing the world if only the United States would stop bombing the world if only the United States would stop bombing the world

Solidarity with Jodi, suspended for her Verso blog (affirming support for the actually existing Palestinian resistance: entre autres for Hamas). Blows my mind that anyone thinks this censorship is ok or that it makes sense to call what Hamas does 'terror' & what Israel does 'war'

Power to the People.

This @LitHub overview of all the people declining or withdrawing from PEN awards is a great look at a blossoming solidarity, and also serves a very handy reading list

i’m so moved by the authors who have withdrawn their works from PEN consideration. it’s courageous to reject the opportunity to be considered for $75,000, life changing money for most writers! happy to support Maya Binyam Eugenia Leigh Ordinary Notes Ghassan Zeineddine
