High key awful vibes for the fourth this year

Doctors Without Borders has said Gaza is now a "mass grave". Gaza, which has become an open wound in the Arab and humanitarian body, is still resisting death with every remaining pulse - but for how much longer, wonders our Palestinian journalist Alaa Shamali www.thecanary.co/global/world...

My five year old has been protesting (and helping to make the signs) since she was one, most recently for #handsoffseattle. Some of her handiwork:

Who’s coming? #handsoffseattle mobilize.us/s/RLz45P Speakers will be at the stage on the International Fountain Mall

Women can’t have birth control or get an abortion? Criminalizing fertility while Viagra is so readily available tells you much of what you need to know about this country today

@pattymurray.bsky.social @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov Are you voting no alongside @sanders.senate.gov? How many chances do you need to step up?

centraldesi.beehiiv.com/p/dr-kani-s-... Self-care isn’t trite but can be an act of resistance in and of itself while making other resistance possible.

With each read I’m reminded of Letter from Birmingham Jail. #mlk “I have always believed that my duty is not only to liberate myself from the oppressor, but also to liberate my oppressors from their hatred and fear.” - #MahmoudKhalil inthesetimes.com/article/mahm...

@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social I found this piece of yours from February to be deeply resonant: www.meditationsinanemergency.com/the-she-made... Would you have any interest in writing something together that helps to connect this line of thought with US & Israeli violence in Palestine?

#seattle #protestforgaza #stopthegenocide #armsembargonow see you there

Reporter Said Arikat asks State Department Spox whether the U.S. is concerned about Israel’s blockade on Gaza, now in its 16th day: “Starvation [being] used as a method to pressure people. Isn’t that a war crime?”

A second piece I wrote on #mahmoudkhalil out on @salonnewsroom.bsky.social: www.salon.com/2025/03/15/h... Inspired by the works of @amplifypalestine.bsky.social @palyouthmvmt.bsky.social @jvp.bsky.social @ifnotnowmovement.org and so many others

Has anyone in the @bsky.app universe heard of #handsoff events planned for Seattle? www.mobilize.us/handsoff/ great to see Bainbridge and other WA cities on the list already

A piece I co-authored on free speech and the abduction of Mahmoud Khalil now available via @sacbee.com www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-e...

ICC Crime against humanity: using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare by depriving them of objects indispensable to their survival, including wilfully impeding relief supplies as provided for under the Geneva Conventions

The start of a new week often floods the mind (and body) with worry. What needs to get done? How will I do it all? What am I forgetting? Ignoring these thoughts isn’t realistic, and there’s evidence to suggest trying to do so makes us worry more. Scheduling “Worry Time” may help. Continued ↓

There are so many moments from this meeting that fascinate me through a psychological (and Real Housewives) lens, but Trump repeatedly growling “don’t tell us what we’re going to feel!” is high on the list. If only the stakes weren’t so dire and the callousness to human suffering so ugly.

“Beware of insecure leaders. Beware of men who talk about being disrespected: that’s not a diplomatic term.” - Warning from an (unidentified) commentator on @msnbc.com speaking about the Trump Zelenskyy White House meeting.

Saw the Oscar-nominated No Other Land at @siffnews.bsky.social last night, a film by Basel Adra, a Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta, about his community's mass expulsion by the Israeli occupation. Enraging and devastating. Available to stream: releasing.dogwoof.com/no-other-land

Trump said he wants to “clean out” Gaza and push the millions of Palestinians living there into neighboring countries. There is a name for this — ethnic cleansing — and it’s a war crime. This outrageous idea should be condemned by every American. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The nearly unanimous confirmation of Doug Collins as Secretary of Veterans Affairs will likely have devastating consequences including barring the VA from providing abortions for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest, or even to save veterans’ lives. This is a bipartisan failure.
