✨ Match alert! In honor of Ghassan Kanafani's life, all proceeds from today's sale of his books through the Workshops4Gaza bookshop will be doubled (and, yes, if you've already purchased a book today, it counts!) 🌿 Links to the books below 📚📚❤️‍🔥

A barrel of oil looks cheap because its price excludes cancer wards, acidifying oceans, and lost harvests. The market calls this “efficiency.” But the biosphere keeps the true ledger, and that debt is coming due.

Reminder that to power Grok, which yesterday started praising Hitler, Elon is blasting toxic gas into a Black neighborhood, poisoning residents and giving kids high asthma rates.

Over 100 people were killed today. It’s not breaking news but I just wanted to draw your attention to that.

All to fight free buses, free childcare, lower priced groceries, and freezing the rent. These assholes spend more on cocaine in one week than they are threatened to lose here. But we let them guide our thought through media, culture, paid "experts", and internet algorithms.

Stop the genocide!

Just texting with someone who used to clean for us. Her sister-in-law was just deported, mom of three, oldest is 14. “We’re so afraid to go outside. I can’t be separated from my kids, I would die.” What religion, what morality, thinks this is ok to do to other people?

We are too polite about the fact the super rich have polluted the planet so much the climate has changed

Sometimes I can't believe we built this. Like, humans had the chance to live with the Earth, grow food, eat fruits, sit by the beach, take care of each other. And instead we invented rent, debt, jobs that drain us, and systems that reward destruction. It never had to be this way.

Eric Garner was killed on this day in 2014. If I ever get to teach a class on how to write about other people, this would be the first piece we would look at.

It’s worse than “Gaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It’s that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.

The student protesters were obviously correct on Gaza. The reaction to them was obviously idiotic and depraved. We're probably still a while out from this being banal conventional wisdom, but it's coming.

The teenagers and adults also don’t deserve to be bombed and starved. You can also say that. We don’t need to accept the framing that they are guilty by age.

sadly, even “someday everyone will have been against this” still feels overly optimistic

The only righteous ones were the students. The suspended, the expelled, the maligned in congressional hearings. They refused business as usual. They risked & lost their freedom. Some were shot. Others imprisoned. History will tell their story, and yours you cowards.

Your life is no more important than that of any starving baby in Gaza, and if your brain races for “but…”s to qualify that fact you need to brutally interrogate the beliefs that lead you there because that’s fascism trying to work through you.

For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, and honestly, that was all totally fine because I had a preexisting condition

What I remember of Hiroshima is the American attempt to make it forget its name. —Mahmoud Darwish, Memory for Forgetfulness, tr. Ibrahim Muhawi

What were you doing at 28? Were you writing a message to the world anticipating the end of your life? That’s what Anas Al Sharif was doing at 28, along with reporting the genocide of his people. Israel is openly claiming the attack knowing it won’t face consequences. ENOUGH.
