when Anthony Bourdain said free Palestine and called out the racist vilification of Palestinians by the media and political class: "The world has visited many terrible things on the Palestinian people, none more shameful than robbing them of their basic humanity."

Leila Khaled is an icon of the Palestinian liberation movement—but why exactly? In 1969, she became the first woman to mastermind a daring yet bloodless airplane hijacking in the name of Palestinian resistance.

People usually dismiss programs of action as "utopian documents." But the @ProgIntl New International Economic Order isn't a wishlist - it's a *Manual for Mutiny*. From sellers' clubs to coordinated treaty withdrawals, the South is already building what this document proposes 🧵

How do Brazil's media operate as "mirrors of whiteness?" I spoke with Mauro Porto about his book Mirrors of Whiteness: Media, Middle-Class Resentment, & the Rise of the Far Right in Brazil (@UPittPress) for @NewBooksNetwork @NewBooksAnthro: https://t.co/ZrVRaYyw84
