Extremely moving memorial video for Gaza Soup Kitchen’s beloved Chef Mahmoud, assassinated by Israel as he was headed to north Gaza's Kamal Adwan Hospital. “With the grace of God I’ll continue this work. I swear what I wish from the bottom of my heart is to feed the entire north.”

#Israel is now bombing #Salamiyah in #Syria

Grateful to have this new poem in the new issue of @thebeliever.net with thanks to habibi Fady Joudah whose book has helped get me through this past year, & to @sallywenmao.bsky.social for the support ❤️🙏🍉

I just received this. Haunting, powerful and heartbreaking words. I can’t wait to dive in and hear the poets at the reading next Monday. Free Palestine.

Some news, with a heavy heart and gratitude for the people who fight to keep Palestinians alive, despite. My next poetry collection, WHEN THE ARAB APOCALYPSE COMES TO AMERICA will be published by @haymarketbooks.org in 2026.

NPR also edited out the many times NBA poetry award finalists Lena Khalaf Tuffaha and Fady Joudah very intentionally used the word "genocide" in their interviews. As @intifadabatata.bsky.social notes, Palestinian permission to narrate remains "nonmetaphorical." mizna.org/mizna-online...

This needs to be fixed

"Gaza you are not mine, but you are mine we, a minefield, beloved and belonging I am here I am here I am here I am here I am here I I with you I with you I with you I with you, with you" from Now, for the Weather by Aurielle Marie @YesAurielle #ReadPalestineWeek

Throughout #ReadPalestineWeek, there are a selection of free ebooks available through the publishersforpalestine.org website, as well as events & actions you can take now.

BREAKING: Autonomous anti-genocide activists bring the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to a grinding halt after blockading the McDonald’s float for a second year in a row. “Those grinches who thinks they can disrupt the parade: it’s not going to happen,” Mayor Eric Adams said yesterday.

1/ 🧵 Now more than ever, our team at Institute for Palestine Studies (@palestinestudies.bsky.social) needs your support. Since the genocide unfolded, IPS has launched key documentation projects and ensure facts and stories are not erased. Here’s what we’ve been working on: 👇

“The nonmetaphorical nature of our permission to narrate can be seen in the details of the post-National Book Award Nomination trajectory for both poets, with NPR censoring words such as ‘genocide’ in their coverage.”

For Mizna, I reflect on this moment of honoring Palestinians at the National Book Awards @nationalbook.bsky.social & sit more deeply with @lenakt.bsky.social & Fady Joudah's earth-shattering books. An honor to publish both finalist readings, including Fady's new poem 🍉🇵🇸 mizna.org/mizna-online...
