Im part of the team that put this together. Wont be speaking but will be attending. Highly recommend for anyone interest in anti-Zionism, Druze stuff, nd inter-Levant conversations. register here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

cohosted a podcast with the great Leila Shami. We spoke to Razan Rashidi from The Syria Campaign about a lot but particularly about how acts of justice build trust in the state and how without it a culture of impunity takes over that can spiral off into retaliatory violence and acts of vengeance.

Summation of one of the core arguments in my video essay. Whether US, UK, Germany or anywhere else, the principle still holds. youtu.be/cbxC7Acnmck

ive been called a lot of things but never hve I been called a tankie. thats a new one

Israel told the UN to stay away from those areas for 9 hours while it kills all plant life. This is a war crime, and Israel is so comfortable committing war crimes that they announce them in advance.

Iranian FM says mood is good. I really dont get it. They were in the 6th round of talks last year when Israel and the US unilaterally attacked them and bombed their nuclear facilities. What are these talks even??

These people love the UAE model - absolute monarchy with 90% of the population migrant labor with no rights of any kind - so fucking much.

UPDATE: according to reports from Tigray regional state television, drone strikes targeted trucks in two north-east Tigray towns at 4AM local time. A driver was killed, another is injured. These would be the first civilian casualties of drone strikes in Tigray, since the Tigray war ended in 2022.

Made an account on UpScrolled. I'm @aymanmak there. I'm not super excited cause seem campists have a pretty good foothold there, as they do generally in western pro-pal spaces, but alas. Follow me if you're there.

On UpScrolled now. Follow me if your there. Lets see if we can make it worth it share.upscrolled.com/en/user/f9f4...

For those who saw this post and our outraged, please consider sending some money to my friend Ali for whom these regular attacks are happening all around him. He's hoping to gather enough money to rent a place in a safer area with his family. www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-re...

Alright children, please gather around while mama tells you a story about a 75 year old Iraqi guy called Nouri Kamil Al Maliki.

we cannot despair we cannot despair we cannot despair.

Israel killed a journalist in Lebanon yesterday. These attacks are so regular its hard to report on them before the next one already occurs. Again, this is all in the context of a supposed ceasefire, which the Israelis have violated, according to the UN, over 10,000 since Nov 27 2024.

Today is 15 years since the Egyptian revolution — fighting for bread, freedom & social justice, & against an authoritarian backed by the billions of US empire. Our fight continues, here — in Minneapolis, across the US, as people take on the Goliath & insist on humanity & liberation. We will win.

regulr reminder that thomas friedman is an old school piece of shit

Ali is a friend of mine whose going through hell with his family. Theyve been displaced for over a year after Israel bombed their home in southern Lebanon. Now what was left of it was just demolished. Please donate to help Ali get back to some sense of stability. www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-re...

what makes these NYT journalist and US pundit types so insufferable is their fanatical conviction in themselves (and by extension the US itself) as "the good guys", sure "we" might've tortured some folks or created a few disaster-oopsies, but we're golden anyway. the delusion is deep

Feels funny posting this here, cause its kind of like preaching to the choir. But yes, in this short vid (15 mins), I share my experience of leaving twitter nd moving more towards bluesky (which hasnt been ideal but it has gotten better). youtu.be/yU5eFIcvE1I

Do I by any chance know anyone who creates Youtube thumbnails?

There's a reason why Kamala, or any democrat, can only win elections in the US on an 'I'm not Trump' ticket. Likewise, the solutions to the polycrises on Turtle Island, even in this terrifying moment, are things they don't even see as options. I explain why in this video essay. youtu.be/cbxC7Acnmck

Ohhhh this is good!!

"A massive gap has emerged in Sudan’s gold sector as record production levels fail to reach the state treasury. While the country produced over 70 tons of gold in 2025 despite the ongoing conflict, official records show that less than 20 tons were exported through formal channels. " Sudan Tribune

This frustrates me a lot. So much so I made a whole video essay about it: youtu.be/cbxC7Acnmck

Just released this conversation I had with the queer Palestinian writer Tareq Baconi. We talk about his new book 'Fire in Every Direction', and share experiences as two queer arabs who grew up in two different cities: he in Amman, me in Beirut. I loved this conversation. youtu.be/4baenHObnIw

Its also been very interesting seeing Al-Jazeera's abysmal coverage of the protests (and mass killings of protestors) in Iran. Like, straight up, stick-to-the-line regime apologia. It's fckn wild.

The Iranian regime is massacring people in the streets. Estimates are in the thousands. It's a massacre.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Just wanna say, as a Lebanese, I take extreme pleasure in watching the Iranian Regime collapse. Power to the protestors, glory to martyrs. May we live to see the back of this regime and many others across the region.

I've never said this, but if anyone wants to have me on their podcast or show or anything I'm very open to such requests. I am a bit selective with the types of politics I fck with, but otherwise yeah, would love it.

I realize its very hard for me to focus on two things at once. Not in a day to day sense, but its so hard for me to hold two projects at the same time. Like my brain can't handle it. Inevitably one gets dropped until it can be my sole focus.

Today marks 1,000 days since the war in Sudan began. We stand with the people of Sudan caught amid a contest for power by the belligerents and their foreign backers and call for policy solutions that center civilians. We mourn the +150,000 killed and the millions displaced.

Solidarity with the people of Iran against their authoritarian regime

I read this piece published by Crimethinc about the protest in Iran and that it was so good that I wanted to read it out loud to help boost its reach and make it more accessible. Its honestly a really powerful and important piece. www.patreon.com/posts/147732...

Crimethinc still exists?! (It is very good and you should listen to it)

One point I make in this video, that I think has very very wide implications, is that Trump didn't try to manufacture consent for his assault on Venezuela. There's no comparison with Iraq, with its 18-month build up. There is no pretense of democracy, Trump is a dictator. youtu.be/zc63CFA-aM8

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

One point I also make in this video is about the frustrating yet boring tankie takes that have emerged since Maduro's kidnapping, esp the ones that condescend Venezuelan's who celebrate his overthrow. They never ask, why are there millions of Venezuelans outside the country to begin with?

Trump actually said we should call the Monroe Doctrine the "Donroe" Doctrine. It's clear, esp after his threats to Mexico, Cuba, Columbia, that he wants fully re-assert American dominance in the Western Hemisphere. I talk about it in this vid (without being a tankie about it). youtu.be/zc63CFA-aM8

Campist leftist politics is uniquely vile towards exiled communities, from Syrians to Venezuelans. The moment these groups fail to perform “correctly” in unfolding political crises, their identity is stripped away & replaced with smears. Such accusations are so predictable at this point.

And just as Benjamin said 80 years ago, fascism is the aestheticization of politics.
