US mainstream media also needs to be put on trial for complicity.

Western journalists have largely failed to do anything more than stenographers of the imperialist narrative. Look to the artists, the writers, and social media from those in P🍉l3stine to receive the truth. We don’t need these middle-man accomplices to tell us what we are witnessing.

@danielwklee.bsky.social shares his book of poetry, Anatomy of Want. We discuss exploring desire that isn't necessarily romantic, and writing in a way that's evocative, not provocative. buff.ly/GUyWENJ #booktalk #poetry #gay #asianamerican #desire

The conversation we’re not ready to have yet is that having empathy for a white supremacist is part of what upholds white supremacy.

And by that measure alone, it fails to be empathy at all.

Daniel W.K. Lee (李華強) @danielwklee.bsky.social · 27d

H/T @paulinepark.bsky.social for this.

I know hypocrisy doesn’t mean much in political discourse but the stark moral bankruptcy of it all…

I guess there isn't a new low for Ixrl when they bomb kids waiting in line for water. However, world governments' inaction keeps falling deeper into the abyss of immorality.

This week’s episode is a “Reply All," Mattie Bynum, Kate D’Adamo, and I get into the weeds over Meta’s new “anti-woke” AI advisor, Pete Buttigieg’s mouth diarrhea on trans athletes, and we respond to listener questions!

Anatomy of Want

Daniel W.K. Lee’s collection of poetry is a study on desire’s limbs, its breath, its unchecked tendencies on creatures who dare to love.

A thorough understanding of intersectionality demands solidarity with decolonial struggle. Make no mistake, anything short of that is complicity to imperialist white supremacy.

For the rest of my professional life, I will never forget how you all failed Gaza journalists who fought a genocide, an ecocide, the fifth stage of hunger, the murder of their family members and colleagues to tell the truth .

Listen to the new episode where Kate D’Adamo and I grill @shanelukas.bsky.social and we get into queer futurity, “enclaving,” and bodily autonomy, of course! Listen to it wherever you get your podcasts!
