Recognizing Palestine. Recognizing genocide in Palestine. Ok, so are you going to stop it? Are you going to intervene? To withdraw your material support at the very least? Otherwise it’s just words.

Really struggling to mentally recover from having an argument over email with a senior academic about whether Karen Attiah was the last remaining Black full staff opinion writer at Washington Post.

I don’t get it, like why wouldn’t he just believe her? 😔

But everything that isn’t named has more power over us. When we ignore it, hush, don't face it, it hurts us more. The hidden rot causes so much damage. When we speak something out loud, it looses its power. open.substack.com/pub/nadiamel...

Puerto Rico has just banned gender affirming care for trans people up to age 21. It is now the ban with the highest age limit in the United States.

Last year, the final of four hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River were removed in the largest project of its kind in US history. The river that straddles the California-Oregon border has since been reborn.

It feels like speaking your truth in a voice barely above a whisper, and realizing it carries more weight than all the shouting you’ve done just to be heard. It feels like giving yourself permission to rest and not feeling guilty for needing it. open.substack.com/pub/camiyux/...

who are you when you are not performing for the people inside your mind?

On Nakba Day let's recall British complicity in covering up the horrors of 1948 and the years preceding it. Below, a Guardian article from 1977 by the Historian Bernard Wasserstein reveals the destruction of key documents related to Palestine by the British State in the decade after the Nakba.

Can I go further? If black cops - the least likely to be included in the blue code — cannot be convicted of a savage beating, captured on camera, then it was already beyond bleak. 🙁
