They were all disputing about the war, about what Thu would do next, what A-lo would do next, what the CWG would do next.

"Why do you talk only in abstractions?" he inquired suddenly, wondering as he spoke why he was speaking, when he had resolved not to. "It is not names of countries, it is people killing each other. Why do the soldiers go? Why does a man go kill strangers?"

"There will always be adults who say it’s not fair to ask children to put their bodies on the line. But when you consider school shootings, the genocide in Gaza and the criminalization of Black boys, children’s bodies already are."

No injustice anywhere is a "distraction" from a liberation struggle elsewhere.

Our freedom is bound up together, just like our oppressors are.

Just because Israel is bombing Lebanon and Iran at the same time doesn't mean that it will let up on Gaza.
These are the strikes of the last 24hrs (9th & 10th March)

Israel Is Applying 'Gaza Logic' To Lebanon — With Trump’s Blessing In just one week, Israel's U.S.-backed campaign has displaced 700,000 people, killed more than 10 children per day and left no diplomatic off-ramp in sight.

NEW: Israel is escalating a war in Lebanon that's killed 10 kids/day — with Trump's blessing, US officials seeing no offramp & fears of Gaza-style devastation
Far less humanitarian capacity than 2024 & little sign Hezbollah will blink like then given experience since

Islamophobia codified into the patriot act decades ago is now being weaponized against all Americans.

The same will happen with the normalization of war crimes against Muslim nations in contravention of international laws and norms and normalization of genocidal anti Muslim rhetoric by lawmakers.

This video of the damages to the Chehel Sotoun palace in Isfahan is hard to watch. The finest example of Safavid architecture, the palace is a marvel of art & architecture that has survived more than 400 years. It is unbelievable that the “most moral army in the world” has cared so little about it.

missed yesterday’s so I’m doing two at once and they’re really fucking dark. 42yo Honduran dad dies of what ICE calls liver failure due to alcoholism (family calls bullshit). 39yo DACA kid from Mexico dies of sudden illness, mom says no prior health probs & explicitly calls it “medical negligence”

US told me Iran keeps blowing up its THAAD systems so I asked how many THAAD systems it has and it said it just goes to imperial outposts and gets a new THAAD system so I said it sounds like it’s just feeding THAAD systems to Iranian missiles and then Netanyahu started crying.

I watched my students literally lose parents to covid and deportation under Biden.

all while democrats called me and my colleagues lazy for not wanting to catch covid or spread it to our students and their families.

is that "reality on the ground" enough for you.
