I remember when people were debating if Israel would actually strike a single hospital while they were leveling an entire civilization

Never in history have the good guys taken pictures like this.

The @OxfordUnion removed a portion of my speech for referencing booby-trapped toys left by Israelis for Lebanese children in the 80s. They claimed I was inciting to violence by stating well-documented facts. Here, it seems zionist demons are still up to their old tricks.

The child Luay Dweik (8 years old) is battling the most dangerous stage of hepatitis which he contracted during the war. His entire body has turned yellow, his temperature is extremely high, and he suffers from severe drops in both blood sugar and blood pressure.

Small local shops like this are one of the beating hearts of urbanism in most of the world and they’re basically illegal in America.

Got a text tonight from the coach of the local boys high school basketball team that we’ve sponsored for the last 8 years.

There was some confusion because he said they received 2 sponsorship checks. Before I responded they figured out the 2nd one was for the girls team, which we’ve also sponsored for the same period with their coach. Neither realized we’ve done so for both teams.

This isn’t to say anything about us or for credit. The point is this: in towns all around the country, there are small local businesses that cut checks, give free team meals, and participate in fundraisers for local sports teams, schools, etc year after year after year because they are deeply rooted in that place. It’s not just where the business sits. It’s home.

Their employees went to that school. Their employee’s kids likely go there now. They see those same kids come in over the years as they grow up. They watch them go off to college and come back during the summer to visit.

In fact, if you stick around long enough you eventually see a kid from one of those first teams come back with a newborn baby of their own, for their first visit. You’ll feel old when that happens, but you’ll feel good about it too.

All this is a long-winded way of saying small local businesses really do punch above their economic weight in a place. They may not provide that many jobs. They may not meet a mandated pay scale that makes them eligible for economic development agreements. But I promise you, if you get to know a place well enough, they are more important to the character and spirit of a place than you might know.

And also, show up when that weird unexpected place shows up where it seemingly doesn’t belong. Then show up again if they don’t get it quite right the first visit. It just might be the name on the jersey of your future kid’s team.

With tech seeking to destroy art and literacy, we need a revival of the humanities. We need to insist that human literature, music and myth are worth learning and defending. That humans are unique and our achievements can't be replicated by machines.

guys it’s been WEEKS since the flood control scandal came to light bakit wala pa din nakukulong????

This was twenty-three months ago. Israeli forces have killed more than 16,365 kids since.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

Incredibly bleak how universities have embraced our illiterate future. Bookstores with no books, libraries getting rid of physical collections, classes that no longer teach novels because students find them too long. Schools must resist the bookless world tech seeks to create.

This wasn’t a nuclear blast, it was relentless deliberate nonstop bombing for 2+ years backed and sponsored by the US and the west empire. Biden did most of the heavy lifting and Trump completed the job. Bipartisan evil. This is where your tax money goes. This is why you’re poor.

All violence under capitalism is inherently interconnected and interdependent. We are all fighting the same beast in a different form. Confronting imperialist and colonial violence is part of confronting climate catastrophe.

A new flotilla of 11 ships is now sailing to Gaza. Without big names aboard they’re more vulnerable. Keep eyes on them: https://t.co/DxTvxRfbua
