The fact of the matter is that Zohran Mamdani gained momentum from the movement he is distancing himself from and thus alienating, particularly at a moment when it has become relatively easy to win the mayoral election.

Never forget that mainstream media, the Democratic Party, and academia all repeated the false claims about the 40 beheaded babies.

Colonial powers have always portrayed anti-colonial resistance as savagery, barbarism, and terrorism.

A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection…

Operation Al-Aqsa Flood resulted in a paradigmatic shift. It resurrected the Manichean world in the minds of people who naively thought it had ceased to exist. It brought raw conceptual clarity in a world full of liberal deceptions, illusions, and distortions.

It breaks my heart and fills me with rage when I watch so many videos of undocumented immigrants being arrested as they plead for help (“ayúdenme por favor”). Don’t be a bystander as this is happening in front of you.

SHE SENT MONEY TO FAMILY IN GAZA. ICE CLAIMED IT’S EVIDENCE SHE SUPPORTS HAMAS.

She’s been in custody for over 6 months now.

She Sent Money to Family in Gaza. ICE Claimed It’s Evidence She Supports Hamas.

To keep her in ICE detention in Texas, the Trump administration pointed to Leqaa Kordia’s remittances to family in Palestine.

Israel has already shown the world that its a genocidal ethnostate but Hamas’ brief statement didn’t only dismantle the rhetoric used to portray it as an irrational organization but it turned this rhetoric around against Israel since we know how it will respond to this agreement.

Trump's 20-point Gaza “peace” plan is nothing more than an imperial power portraying anti-colonial resistance as savagery, barbarism, and terrorism, but the global majority already knows that these terms more accurately reflect the West’s actions for over five centuries.

Znsts: Go to Gaza to see what Hamas will do to you.

Sumud Flotilla: We’re heading there.

Znsts: The flotilla is Hamas and Israel should respond accordingly.

The ones we should most demand to stop the war are not the guerrilla organizations but the oligarchies that…impose their policies and defend their economic interests disguised as democracies, in whose name a people is invaded, murdered and annihilated.

"peace" is not liberation. "peace" is quieting Palestinian voices, cementing their literal end.

if you wish to "release the israeli hostages" w/o calling for the release of OVER 10,000 wrongfully imprisoned Palestinians (of whom many would call "hostages", also), then this plan for "peace" is BS.

Order it for your library, read it, cite from it, critique it ...

The SAGE Handbook of Decolonial theory on my shelf. A headman and James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time are placed next to the handbook.
