There were *thousands* of people out last night in Boston demanding a ceasefire & end to genocide in Gaza — it was honestly a significant portion of the overall number of people out in town, with many other First Nighters cheering on in support. Should be a major news headline 🤷🏼‍♀️

As climate activists 2023 was hard to take.

Really hoping for unity and action in 2024 and that GND Media can play some part in turning the tide against the climate crisis.

We will be kicking off the new year by speaking to Thea Riofrancos.

Ep out next Monday

What about that other country bombing hospitals…the one that’s doing the bombing with US bombs paid for by American taxpayers? Any comment on that or do Palestinian lives not matter as much as Ukrainian lives? The RI congressional delegation has been abysmal amid this genocide.

Slumlord Jeff Butler threatened to evict Elmwood tenants for organizing with Reclaim to fight for safe and dignified housing. That’s against the law. Today, tenants are suing Butler for violating their legally protected right to organize—perhaps the first such case in RI history.

New The Dig: first in two-part interview w Ussama Makdisi on late Ottoman Empire’s Arab culture of Muslim, Christian, and Jewish coexistence—an ecumenical frame interrupted by European colonialism/Zionism, which exacerbated and exploited sectarianism. thedigradio.com/podcast/age-of…

Every single day I’m newly enraged that Biden is more willing to risk a Trump presidency than he is to in any way meaningfully constrain Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza.

There’s still time to change course. Read this urgent piece from gabrielwinant inthesetimes.com/article/biden-…

Two examples of supply chain sabotage for very different political goals. The first is a global hegemon tightening borders and repressing immigrants, the second a rebel army (and quasi-state) opposing genocide in Gaza. Twentieth-first century geoeconomics in action.

I lost my father, Maro Riofrancos. He was 79. He taught me how to cook, and how to read Adorno & Proust, Marx & Brecht. To love dogs, found objects, Calder, Tati. He was a ruthless critic--including of me. He was volatile, and I'm not sure I ever satisfied him. I love him anyway.

You know who thought the Jews who came to Israel were colonial settlers? The Jews who came to Israel. Cotton's a racist—why is the 1st Muslim appointee to a federal appeals court being subjected to questions about Israel—who knows nothing about the people he claims to support.

I'll be honest: I have a lot of thoughts about one of the most influential anglophone academics (and not even getting into ethnicity here) saying 'I too jumped the gun critiquing the student movements but now it seems the situation has shockingly taken a turn for the worse'

David--this stuff didn't age well when you said it circa 2003. It won't age well now. Besides, I suspect you know some of these American Jewish kids. They're the children of your friends.

You'd think, with all the attention to the Arendt Prize debacle, I'd be inundated with media calls/texts. You'd be wrong. Not one German journalist has reached out for comment. One US journalist did. All reporting has happened with no input/reaction from me. Inaccuracies pile up
