Imagine returning home to this after everything they have already been through.

Imagine doing this to other human beings essentially for sport.

Overnight, Israeli troops carried out a large-scale campaign of setting fire to huge amount of civilian homes and infrastructure before families returned to it in northern Gaza.

It appears to have been the most extensive mass arson operation since the genocide began

Remember all of the ghouls who denied this was happening and did everything they could to make the problem worse from JK Rowling to Wes Streeting. The NHS who did a stitch up report to hide the growing number of suicides from trans youth on the waitlists. They should never be forgiven.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

We will all be migrants soon

Americans are dying from extreme heat. Autopsy reports don’t show the full truth

Official reports are likely to overlook heat’s role in a death. As US temperatures rise, experts say the true toll needs to be counted

Calling out Reform’s racism will ring hollow while Labour offers watered-down versions of their migration policies.

We can only prevent a Reform-led government if we do not allow migrants to be scapegoated for problems created by the super rich.

James Baldwin to Angela Davis in 1970, discussing white Americans:

Or, to put it another way, as long as white Americans take refuge in their whiteness— for so long as they are unable to walk out of this most monstrous of traps-they will allow millions of people to be slaughtered in their name, and will be manipulated into and surrender themselves to what they will think of-and justify—as a racial war. They will never, so long as their whiteness puts so sinister a distance between themselves and their own experience and the experience of others, feel themselves sufficiently human, sufficiently worthwhile, to become responsible for themselves, their leaders, their country, their children, or their fate. They will perish (as we once put it in our black church) in their sins—that is, in their delusions. And this is happening, needless to say, already, all around us.

This week at an event for THE PEOPLE’S PROJECT, a reader asked in a gracious and cheeky way what I would hope white readers in particular would get out of the book. Or more directly, what I would TELL white readers. And this was basically my answer:

African-Americans are experts on America.
