Thinking about this today

it's not effective to the enemy directly but it nourishes the soul/heart/mind and builds comradeship which is necessary to defeat the enemy

it's soft internal power

Two protesters arrested on first day of Queensland’s β€˜from the river to the sea’ ban Arrests occurred after pro-Palestinian activists gathered outside state parliament within hours of new laws taking effect

In the Australia we now live in, you can be arrested for standing on the street and saying "from the river to the sea." This sort of Orwellian over-reach should shock all sides of the political/culture divide

Nowhere is doing well. There is no magic country to expatriate to.

I saw someone ask why non-MAGA Christians are "silent" right now in the face of Christian Nationalism, when in reality local religious groups are some of the most vocal I've seen, even leading very visible protests in my town.

I feel some kind of way about people saying that we are docile cowards when we are being shot in the streets and teargassed on the regular and the response so many have is to figure out where they can go to add their bodies to the list of those willing to die to try to stop fascism from taking over.

I really don't think people understand the degree of organization that is happening in so many regular neighborhoods in America.

This is not the place to tell me that Americans aren't doing anything about this because we're docile cowards.

Americans are doing a lot about this and you just don't know because our media isn't talking about it.

For Mahmoud Khalll, this past year has been marked by profound hardship-and by profound courage.
A year ago, Mahmoud was walking home through our city after sharing an iftar with his wife Noor when he was detained by federal agents, flown to Louisiana, and then held in an ICE facility for months. In that time, he was forced to miss the birth of his first child. All of this for exercising his First Amendment rights in protesting the ongoing genocide in Palestine.
And yet, even in the face of that cruelty, there has also been beauty. New Yorkers raising their voices in solidarity. A city refusing to look away. Mahmoud won his freedom, and a father was finally reunited with his child.
Last night, as we marked the one year anniversary of his detention, Rama and I were honored to welcome Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Deen to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together.
Mahmoud is a New Yorker, and he belongs in New York City.

This feels related to how I teach indie filmmaking/mediamaking: literally nobody cares about your project (as much as you do), so you have to be entirely ok doing it by yourself.

Thank you for the explanation there; my 4 flat in jersey city got turned into two condos; I was paying 1200 a month before we got harassed out and our place plus an extra floor just sold for 1.2 million. Had no idea how rich I was
