@JokermenPodcast the J in MJ Lenderman stands for Jokerman, apparently. Great show at Levon Helm Studio last night even before they broke out Something There Is About You
Every tweet from a Gazan is “We will rebuild!” with a picture of them in front of a huge pile of rubble, and every tweet from someone with an Israel flag emoji in their username is the most racist thing you’ve ever seen. I just think these are fascinating patterns.
It's fucking wild watching consent being manufactured in real time.
Yesterday morning I watched reports of Tel Aviv soccer fans roaming Amsterdam in gangs, attacking strangers who they thought were Palestinian.
This morning I'm seeing the Israeli ecosystem spin it into "Pogroms" after those being attacked fought back.
Just Wild

We believe there is no point in telling our human stories anymore; everyone has grown accustomed to seeing us killed. It's no longer worth the risk to send our voice out to a world that is content with mere solidarity. Even many of our human stories no longer interest people (even our voice is being ignored).
It's time to stop waiting for a savior and to help ourselves survive.
Please try to keep us in your prayers.
Serious question: I have to go to New York soon and I'm trying to figure out where to stay. I have heard it's disgusting and violent there. But is it like Walking Dead Season 1 or Season 4?
