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.

I sure hope this fella doesn't get off scot-free:

It requires formal House/Speaker authorization.

It requires formal House/Speaker authorization; it’s not something that can be done ad-hoc at a press event.

This frame misses the basics: there’s no single “Latino vote.” Origins (Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Salvadoran, Dominican, etc.), region (Miami vs. Rio Grande Valley vs. Phoenix), generation, language, unionization, religion and gender all split preferences.

Why is his color relevant?

If they truly intend to end the shutdown soon, why block a sworn-in vote and risk air-travel chaos? Who benefits from keeping the fire burning?

He certainly looks uncomfortable.

Palestinians read Zionist strategy in real time—and read through the euphemisms. Public denials of political aims were tactics; the quiet plan depended on immigration, majority, and control. Khalidi’s point: Palestinians weren’t naïve; they were outgunned by diplomacy engineered to mask intent.

There’s a lot going on, so here is a map of the world’s forests, divided by categories of wood.

Greitens goes “full Missourah” while living Rhodes-rich; Koster switches sides. Voters swim in opportunism, not ideology.

Kendzior cuts past tribe talk: it’s not conversion; it’s convenience—brand management as politics.

Isenberg shows elite panic becoming policy: blame “Negroes” for white sloth, then declare hierarchy as hygiene.

My immediate assumption was that he's Black. Yes, because of the nose.

Also, how do we know that this is a federal agent?

BREAKING NEWS:

There would be neither an Ayatollah nor a Hamas if it weren't for Britain.

You can’t understand Tehran’s clerics or Gaza’s resistance without mapping back to London’s paperwork and coups. Empire built the chessboard; we’re still counting pawns.

That could literally be anybody.

Armed individual in tactical gear inside a vehicle, pointing a less-lethal launcher. Affiliation unverified; possible federal agent (ICE/HSI or similar) but no identifying insignia visible.

Kristi Noem films a “Portland war zone” bit: a chicken-costumed protester, a rooftop pose with a tactical bro, and a regular crowd below. Theatrics, not security—branding fear for clicks.

Kendzior (Hiding in Plain Sight) writes of Missouri: Schweich’s suicide, then his spokesman Spence Jackson—undone by unemployment. I remember a law firm’s Ivy League complaints. Some wilt at first hardship. For us, precarity isn’t just survival; it’s a curriculum.

Don’t just track tRUmp; map the social machinery that turns neighbors into foot soldiers.

Alice Ball.

She cracked an oil into medicine and turned exile into treatment, then vanished too soon. The cure carried her name only after the record was forced to remember.

Colleague Harry T. Hollmann later documented Ball as the originator, restoring authorship.

Many, many moons ago, my girlfriend would be irked by my time spent questing on FF. Thankfully, the soundtrack hooked her!

Institutional gatekeeping. Different year, same drumline—when the base surges left, the whip hand taps the brakes. The ancestors are watching the rerun.
