Wrote about the temptation to put Gaza on the back burner now that the ceasefire is solidifying—and why we can't let that happen. Gaza still needs you, and me, and everyone to fight until real Palestinian liberation is won. www.discourseblog.com/p/gaza-still...

Jimmy Kimmel is back on the air. That might feel like some kind of victory. But in the light of day, that win is hollow. The world probably isn’t ending, but everything is not all right. www.discourseblog.com/p/jimmy-kimm...

The right is trying to turn Charlie Kirk into a modern-day Jesus—literally. He was a tool of a fascist regime, and the regime is continuing its mission by putting his death to use. www.discourseblog.com/p/charlie-ki...

"Kirk's vision of liberty was premised on stripping away the freedoms of anyone viewed as unworthy.
This isn’t 'practicing politics,' it’s promoting fascism and extremism."
