no idea what time it is anywhere but I’m joining this Architecture and Repair in Palestine discussion in Oslo tomorrow afternoon, details in the attached flyer

Okay #ASA2025 (or #2025ASA ?) I only JOKINGLY booed when Moustafa called Egypt “umm al dunya” [mother of the world] because I ASSUMED YOU WOULD ALL BE CLAPPING and no one would hear me. THAT WAS MY BAD YOLO BUT I AM HALF EGYPTIAN SO I GET TO BOO US

Jewish Federations applauds Olivia Reingold, a staff writer at Bari Weiss's Free Press, as she victory laps her (ghoulish and erroneous) reporting that some of the children Israel was starving to death and denying medical aid to in Gaza had pre-existing conditions.

look who made it to Oakland! outside Jerusalem coffee house , of course

Zohran breaks a weird streak in American politics, in that he is the child of a foreign-born radical professor but has not become a centrist

Registering!! Thank you 💚

This looks amazing

“oh so you think the east wing being demolished is worse than-“ it’s a synecdoche, man. a visual metaphor. there’s a reason the aliens in Independence Day don’t aim a huge laser at SNAP benefits

Zohran Mamdani Is Right to Call Out FIFA. But He Doesn't Go Far Enough. Mamdani is right to hold FIFA accountable for fleecing its fans. But cheaper prices won’t matter if you end up in the back of an unmarked van.

"Zohran Mamdani Is Right to Call Out FIFA—But He Should Push Harder." Great that Mamdani's holding FIFA accountable for fleecing fans. But cheaper tix won’t matter if you end up in the back of an unmarked van. My latest w/ @edgeofsports.bsky.social @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I am screaming

Aycin Kantoglu, Turkish citizen kidnapped by the IOF while at sea in the Sumud Flotilla, when Ben-Gvir was declaring all the flotilla participants as ‘terrorists’: “Shut your mouth, you genocidal filth.”

They turned Gaza into a death camp and call it a kindness.

Judge rules Trump policy to deport students over pro-Palestinian views is unconstitutional Judge ruled that non-citizens have the same free speech rights as US citizens under the first amendment

Enormous victory for @aaup.org in aaup v Rubio

from your lips, etc

I am trying to finish something like a book manuscript for my workshop in December while navigating the survivor’s guilt all diaspora Palestinians live with amid nearly 2 years of genocide…. Alan Dershowitz getting banned from every pierogi shop in Martha’s Vineyard is basically what keeps me going

bruh I know folks in Vietnam have to be cackling over USians blasting “Hanoi Hannah” (Trịnh Thị Ngọ, may she RIP) recordings at US military personnel occupying cities IN the US bc I surely am

“But we don’t abandon hope. We keep going. We believe.”

But if I set my account to private what would my racist colleagues email my chair or dean to complain about

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

lmfao that it’s jimmy kimmel of all people. not exactly a boundary pusher.

a description of the shooting Kirk talked about gun violence moments before he was shot, video shows Warning: This post contains graphic descriptions of the shooting some readers may find distressing. In videos circulating on social media of the event, Charlie Kirk can be seen sitting in a white gazebo addressing a crowd gathered at an event at Utah Valley University. The tent features the words "The American Comeback Tour" - the name of his current speaking tour. In one video, an audience member can be heard asking Kirk about mass shootings in America: "Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?" Holding a microphone, Kirk responds: "Counting or not counting gang violence?" A loud gunshot is heard and Kirk appears to jolt backwards in his seat. Blood can be seen on his neck. People in the crowd scream and start running from the area.

Charlie Kirk died doing what he loved: being racist & advocating for mass shootings

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Not yet, but I do know of several Palestinian translators working on it (and there have been a few excerpts translated here and there)
