"The US dropped around 15 tonnes of explosives per square kilometre of Vietnam [making it the most bombed place on earth], while Israel has dropped 275 tonnes per square kilometre of Gaza - a figure that is higher by a factor of 18."

Israel has already lost the Gaza war. It just doesn't know it yet

The real danger was never cancellation by women, people of color, or queer and trans people or their “wokeness.” The real danger is censorship, banning, deportation, incarceration, and war by the nation-state and white nationalist identity politics that masks itself as American patriotism.

These attacks on birthright citizenship are racist and disturbing. Birthright is a foundational principle of the United States ratified by the passage of the 14th Amendment to recognize Black people as full humans. Take it away and we risk losing basic humanity. #resist
