sign the petition to protect Brooklyn Public Library's public funding 📝 (we got money for cops to brutalize city residents but don't have money for public services; you can tell a city priorities by its budget. Mayor Eric Adams would rather beat nyers than let them read)

This is what we have instead of libraries

minouche shafik with big sisi energy. someone get this petty despot in egyptian politics. with her love of police brutality and speech suppression, she's a great fit for the current govt

i visited the columbia gaza solidarity encampment yesterday and i am so proud of what the students with Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine and BC/CU Jewish Voice for Peace have accomplished. may they be victorious

i am so so so proud of the national student movement for gaza that the students at Barnard College and Columbia University have inspired- in the face of fascist and violent repression by their pro-genocide university administrations.

white supremacist demonstrations are allowed because they enforce —rather than damage — the imperial fabric. Unlike pro Palestine protests which aim directly at western empire building

So grateful to have these words to describe this exact experience, the feeling of descending into a strange lunacy of the obvious, the explicitly witnessed.

The The New York Times is not only conducting an internal investigation to find staffers who leaked information to The Intercept — it’s singling out Arab and Muslim journalists for “extensive questioning” about their views on NYT coverage.

Every NYT journalist should be outraged by this.

My heart really goes out to Muslims in Gaza, Sudan and Congo that will still observe Ramadan even through genocide.

i feel like a lot of these news orgs use a dartboard to come up with whatever obfuscating term instead of genocide that fits the bill for the day - at least the IDF got the active voice this time

very excited to participate in this!

every time i see writer twitter dialogue about 'idea theft,' as a media lawyer, i cringeeeee. plz plz plz ideas are not copyrightable, only their particular expression!!

There are babies who have been born during this genocide and killed during it and never knew a life without it.
