We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn
Opinion | Libraries can help end the culture wars. That’s why they’re under fire.
Nothing threatens authoritarianism like a free, quiet place to absorb a full range of information.

As news media outlets bend over backwards to pledge fidelity and kiss the rings of our incoming administration, more Americans are turning to the bound written word for guidance on the road ahead. I offer this as my own guidepost.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Lena. Lena was an interior design student (you can see her working on a sketch here outside her tent www.instagram.com/reel/DBX3IFI...) She is raising money to continue her education (her family has a separate GFM for survival)

Oh is this an old article from I don’t know a year ago when this would have been super useful?

(I’m glad it’s happening now but yeesh some people gave up their souls for that election)
"Thirty days later, the Biden administration acknowledged that Israel’s actions had not significantly expanded food, water and basic necessities for desperate Palestinian civilians. Despite [this] failure ... the Biden administration has taken no action to restrict the flow of offensive weapons."

Hey @aaron.bsky.team, I’m a Palestinian elected official and have been working to get my colleagues over here. Really like this place but structural discrimination against Palestinians is a deal breaker. Please fix this👇
So I hate to tag the mods- but I sent this email about the mass deletion of Palestinian accounts over a week ago to @support.bsky.team and I haven’t heard anything back (apologies if I somehow missed an email). I’d like to ensure it will be seen by the proper people.

@soilent.bsky.social recently asked me to put together an introductory list of introductory socialist/communist readings, and I thought it might be helpful.

The goal of this is not to be definitive, or to say these are the only important texts, but rather to give a starting point.
