Honestly, it’s exhausting that people think Gazans should only ask for help to survive to eat, to stay alive but not to dream, to study, or to rebuild their lives. Wanting education, safety, and a future isn’t greed. It’s being human.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

If you’re wondering why all of us are being compelled to “integrate AI” into our classrooms, our workflow, and our kitchen appliances…

It’s because the market is all in on tech and they put us in another “too big to fail“ predicament.

Socialist Cuba keeps training young Palestinians as doctors, while the capitalist and white supremacist West keeps backing the genocide and occupation of the Palestinian people.

Cuba continues to show the world what true solidarity looks like. 🇨🇺❤️🇵🇸

A large group of more than 100 Palestinian medical students pose for a photo with Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel inside a bright hall at the Palace of the Revolution in Havana. The students—many of them wearing white medical coats and black-and-white keffiyehs—surround Díaz-Canel, who is also wearing a keffiyeh around his shoulders. Everyone smiles warmly, with several students making peace signs and leaning in close together. The background shows lush indoor greenery, wooden paneling, and reflective black marble floors. The atmosphere feels proud and joyful, representing Cuba’s ongoing solidarity with Palestine and its revolutionary commitment to educating and training Palestinian youth as doctors.

A screenshot of a post from @PresidenciaCuba on twitter. The post reads:

> “🇨🇺 | More than 100 young Palestinians studying Medicine in #Cuba were this afternoon at the Palace of the Revolution, where they were received by President @DiazCanelB, in an afternoon filled with emotions and solidarity toward #Palestina.”

Below the text is a photo of the students posing with President Miguel Díaz-Canel in the Palace of the Revolution. The group fills the hall, smiling and standing close together under bright lighting and surrounded by tall indoor plants. The image celebrates Cuba’s internationalist solidarity and its tradition of offering free education to students from oppressed nations, especially Palestinians.

Horrific. A 50-year old black man had a stroke & was confused from it. Cops didn’t want to “waste time” doing a thorough evaluation for a medical emergency, assumed it was drugs, & simply threw him in jail. He died

A tragic example of the cruelty of structural racism
