I wrote a poem for a teach-in last year that didn't happen bc the university militarized the campus. Sharing it now as a prayer. 🇵🇸

Palestinians deserve an international tribunal, reparations, accountability, and liberation above all. Instead, the Western world is fantasizing over how to transform a people’s homeland into their investment bonanza. Settler fantasies are violent in every language.

I cannot begin to tell you how much community labor went into filing this. It is, to date, the largest civil rights suit filed in defense of Palestine solidarity activism on a university campus.

What is left to tweet. Boycott Israel. Organize locally. Be in community. Build genuine connections with other movements. Pace yourself. This isn’t just about Palestine. It’s about the societies and world we live in. Even as we live in despair, we must keep moving and pushing
We should talk more about how the dominant approach of capitalist economists to controlling inflation is to periodically throw hundreds of thousands of people out of work and into misery. This is what passes for "economic stability" and it is madness.
Netanyahu has shattered the ceasefire agreement, indiscriminately killing hundreds of people in Gaza and putting the lives of the remaining hostages at risk. This is after not allowing any food, water, aid, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.
Arms embargo NOW.
As the world wakes up to the harrowing images of children slain by Israeli bombs across the entire Gaza Strip AGAIN, we cannot bear witness to global leaders JUST. DOING. NOTHING. This is an acceleration of the genocide that Israel is committing against the Palestinian people as a whole. We already failed to prevent it and our Governments have an even greater obligation to stop it now.
Palestinian voices are enough. They’ve always been enough. It’s the conscience of the world that has been inadequate. A world that refused to recognize unfiltered & unflinching Palestinian anguish. The Nakba never ended, while our permission to narrate has always been rejected
Staggering details from this story:
- After TX banned abortion, rate of sepsis shot up more than 50% for women hospitalized when they lost their pregnancies in the 2nd trimester
- The rate of maternal deaths in TX rose 33% btwn 2019 + 2023 even as national rate fell by 7.5%
These are the names of Palestinian babies Israel killed before they reached their first birthday.
Unfortunately, it is likely an undercount given the number of people missing and under the rubble.
RFK Jr. spreads racist biological myths on the same day POTUS blames the plane crash on DEI because “For some jobs, we need the highest level of genius.” I explain the threat in my book FATAL INVENTION on the history & resurgence of white supremacist/eugenicist concepts of race.
& they returned,
from the legends of defending forts to simple talk, & if they want,
they won’t have to raise their arms or banners to miracles no more …
And they hung from their ceilings onions and garlic braids and okra
And married off their children

The poorest Arab nation, devastated by U.S.-Saudi bombs and blockade, continues to fight for Palestine. Shame on all the craven despotic Zionist regimes who are terrified that Palestine's liberation will inspire their own populations to demand freedom. Let it be so.
