from the sole Palestinian-American in Biden admin who resigned in protest in Jan 2024. he didn't work in foreign policy (was a political appointee in dept of education) so I guess it was nice of Jon Finer to reach out to him personally with obscene lies justifying Israel bombing Gaza's hospitals.

Tired day of meetings. Came home to this salvation. Thank you @hystericalblkns.bsky.social

Let us remember Refaat Alareer who would have been 46 today

A pop up box on Tylenol dot com

This will be amazing!! And not only because I’m such a jazz fan. But everyone presenting - wow!!!

If anything, recognition right now is delaying the recognition of genocide by these countries, and thus delaying any real intervening action. Kicking the can down the road strategy.

Recognition without effective concrete action on the ground is merely performative. Gaza is still being annihilated and everyday the West Bank is being annexed.

Batshit crazy all round. How did we get here?

SORRY, YOU'LL FORGIVE ME FOR ASKING, BUT HAVE WE ALL OF A SUDDEN DECIDED THAT IT IS WRONG TO COLLECTIVELY PUNISH A CIVILIAN POPULATION FOR THE ACTIONS OF A BODY THAT CLAIMS TO SPEAK AND ACT ON THEIR BEHALF?

So much condemnation, no action

I'm sorry, worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable permission to my voice and likeness? For what now? In any manner for any purpose??? This is in academia/.edu's new ToS, which you're prompted to agree to on login. Anyway I'll be jumping ship. You can find my stuff at hcommons.org.

NEW: Bernie Sanders becomes the first Senator of the United States to label Israel's war on Gaza a genocide.

Pls help a Palestinian family resettle in #Canada. www.gofundme.com/f/a-displace...

Solidarity with @karenattiah.bsky.social. Either all of us have rights or none of us do.

I guess Bluesky is not so bluey after all.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

The UN general assembly votes to recognize a 2 state solution. All very well but right now Israel continues to wreak destruction on Gaza. What will the UN do?

No - absolutely not

Watching political hagiography in real time now.

At least 10 members of the Infidels Motorcycle Club, a hateful anti-Islam biker gang that promotes violence against Muslims, are serving as military contractors at the deadly U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites, with many of them in leadership positions, a new investigation finds.

RIP International law, order, the UN and international legal bodies. Been nice knowing you.

They will not name Hind Rajab because their intent is to dehumanize.

“Mark Smith, a diplomat who quit his Foreign Office job over the UK’s refusal to stop selling arms to Israel in August 2024, said civil servants who challenged the IDF’s methods were routinely pressed to tone down their findings “so it sounded less bad”.

Waited a very very long time for this. The Chicago Underground Duo back together for the awesomest Jazz. intlanthem.bandcamp.com/album/hypergl

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

“The family said that the prison healthcare team only started measuring her ketone and blood sugar levels on 25 August, finding that her ketone levels, which indicate blood acidity, were high and blood sugar low.” Activists are demanding hospitalization. www.middleeasteye.net/news/palesti...

We expected this, we knew it was happening and here we are.

The problem here is whether countries will support and give legitimacy to the ICJ and ICC www.populismstudies.org/professor-sc...

Stunning - brava Genoa, brava!

Global Sumud Flotilla rumbo a Gaza.

You won’t hear about this in the. Western media - 50 boats sailing to Gaza on 31st August and 4th September globalsumudflotilla.org

Every day I come on here and see photos of massacred Palestinians who look like my nieces, nephews, cousins, uncles...and in the next moment I have to argue with someone who spends all their energy telling me I should have overlooked genocide instead of telling their candidates to stop the genocide

The silence over Israel’s assassination of Yemen’s leaders tells me the international order, whatever it ever was or is, in the form of the UN or whatevers, is well and truly over.

so looking forward thinking with the extraordinary @esmat.bsky.social at the launch of his new book, Parting Gifts of Empire, from @ucpress.bsky.social @makdisi.bsky.social at the University of Toronto November 6, 2025

Friday again
