If you’re in Seattle, stop by @openpoetrybooks.bsky.social & sign up for POETRY OFFICE HOURS. I’ll be in the store on Fri 9/12 12:30-2:30 & look forward to talking about that poem you’ve been working on, sharing a prompt to get you writing again, or offering reading recommendations. See you there! 📚

Uncle Tom (Barrack) is originally from Lebanon. Which makes sense because only a self-hating Arab could address Arabs with venomous disdain that outdoes that of his racist masters. Allah yerhamek ya Helen Thomas. She would have mopped the floor with him.

Hey @bsky.app Why is a Palestinian asking for help in a GENOCIDE being flagged????

My goodness. Journalists having to call in saying they’re too hungry to work. This isn’t dystopia: this is the reality Palestinians in Gaza live in. Meanwhile their Western counterparts are still describing hospitals in Gaza as “Hamas run”.

this August I'm committing to read 31 books of poetry for the #sealeychallenge; pledge to sponsor my challenge through donations to the sameer project (link below) & mobilize each day to #EndtheGenocideinGaza

Good Morning American Taxpayers

The utter cognitive dissonance of the phrase “zionist human rights lawyer”

A nurse in Gaza seeks help for himself and his family. Can we help him today?

On this 600th day of global shame, what I will not do

600 DAYS OF GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE. The world watches as Palestinians are bombed, abducted, tortured, starved, and burned to death.

I am sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ali. Ali is 20 years old. Before all this he was going to enter university where he wanted to study photo and video editing. His university, home and neighborhood have been destroyed. He is trying to help his brother Youseff who is only 14

Baby Mila (the miracle) ❤️❤️

Marco Rubio’s stance aligns with the majority of Israelis. Enough of this “right wing” lie. Israeli society is comfortably supremacist against Palestinians. They can smell the smoke of Palestinians across the border burning to death for 20 months & have largely done nothing but cheer & enable it.

Zionists are screaming "You're either with us or with Hamas" while Israelis are openly saying that Palestinian babies should be murdered. m.maariv.co.il/news/politic...

Ilyasah Shabazz, daughter of Malcolm X, remembers her father on what would have been his 100th birthday.

Can you imagine Americans facing an ongoing violent disaster and having the clarity of mind to communicate calmly in a foreign language with others around the world to ask for help? I cannot. The entitlement and racism of people FUNDING AND ENABLING this horror reaches new lows every day.

I can't tell you how angry it makes me that these guys had to make this video because some assholes are on here declaring, with no evidence or even reasoning at all, that they're running some kind of scam. If you can't help the people of Gaza, then just. leave them. alone.

"Bring her leg... bring her leg..." A Palestinian man pleads with another to gather the scattered remains of a martyr ,a woman killed in the brutal Israeli airstrike on tents sheltering displaced families Khan Younis. Even in death, they deny us dignity. This is not war. This is Genocide #WarCrimes

Here is the grad speech that NYU is now withholding the student's diploma for: "As I search my heart today in addressing you all…the only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine."

In his first live interview since his release from ICE detention, Palestinian activist @mohsenofpalestine.bsky.social reflects on the "interconnectedness between injustices."

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) - At least 82 people were killed by Israeli strikes in Gaza on Friday, as Trump wrapped up his regional trip.
