Before the Nakba, there were books in Jaffa. Music in Haifa. Students in Jerusalem. Orchards in Galilee. Cafés in Ramallah. They didn’t erase emptiness—they erased abundance. Every face is testimony. Every archive, refusal.
One man — who once worked with us in Afghanistan — drives cross-country, and their answer is “flood the streets with troops.” That ain’t security. That’s dress rehearsal for something darker. Fear is the oldest pretext for a power grab. Stay woke, stay loud.

Some folks keep trying to carve the story small — like our liberation ever fit inside a filing cabinet. Nah. Our people ain’t paperwork. We’re a whole ocean of memory, linked across time. Don’t shrink the river to fit the dam. #DiasporaLogic #LineageOfFire

Thanksgiving ain’t gratitude — it’s a three-act myth that turns genocide into tradition and tradition into a shopping season.

Honestly, it is possible to think 'I work hard to earn money; I deserve that money' and *also* 'it would be good if we created a more equal society: I'll help'. Exhausting to see everything presented as a fight to the death between those two ideas, seemingly forever.

About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars.
Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

Many of those who fought in WWII were segregationists, klan members, and continue to be so legally after the war. The Nazis admired, studied, and emulated America's racist laws and strategy for dehumanizing, torturing part of their population. MAGA is exposing the longstanding hypocrisy.

We stand with Rep. Jasmine Crockett in calling for an end to voting machines owned by Dominion. Our voting systems should never be controlled by anyone aligned with MAGA politics. It’s time to push for statewide bans on these machines.

MAGA is stunned into silence as officials confirm the National Guard shooter, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, entered the U.S. in 2021 and was vetted and granted LEGAL ASYLUM by the TRUMP ADMINISTRATION in April 2025.
