We need many more libraries and community centers and public organizing spaces to counteract capitalism’s drive to reduce the public sphere to for-profit social industry platforms, where attention is commodified.

Today, 800 Palestinians in Silwan are facing imminent forcible displacement from their homes. Make no mistake, this is mass ethnic cleansing of one people to make room for another. Who’s behind this? Israeli settlers, the Israeli government & Israeli courts. This is Apartheid.

All violence mechanisms of policing, surveillance and torturous methods have first been tried and tested on minorities and most times Muslim communities. This is why actively engaging with trans-national solidarity & internationalist ideology is imperative in demanding liberation

Truly horrifying story.
Right now, Uyghurs are being used as lab subjects for emotion AI, under coercion, strapped into restraint chairs, and then tagged as "nervous" or "anxious" which is taken as a marker of guilt. via @hare_brain bbc.com/news/technology-5710…

Repeat after me: #Gaza does not need your pity, it needs your advocacy and understanding. It does not need a ceasefire, it needs a cease-siege and cease-occupation. Our people do not need food aid, they need their freedom.

Not even a day after they agreed to a ceasefire, the Israeli occupation forces are currently firing rubber-coated bullets at worshippers in Al-Aqsa Mosque Compound. Are you planning your next protest? #SaveSheikhJarrah

I just finished the 3 chapters of In the Palace of Flowers (in time for the discussion today hosted by @becauseweveread @BlackIranians and @CassavaRepublic) and I want to echo/add this is a great book to assign for a class on the art and architecture of Modern Middle East. 1/3
