Had a long conversation with my mom about the potential implications for my career of my Palestine activism, particularly on campus and in direct confrontation with my university’s racist administration.
My mother is a person who has lost a lot of status in her life…

Attention California journalists: Your colleagues from @LBMGuild at the Long Beach Post are still on strike.
This is a publication whose chairman has threatened to sue his own reporters for libel. No job, especially this one, is worth scabbing for.
15 May 2024
The @LongBeachPost is interviewing to replace our reporters who are on strike against the company and CEO’s unfair labor practices. We know jobs for reporters are scarce but crossing the picket line is never the right choice.
SCABBING HURTS EVERY WORKER.
Don’t be a scab.

Congress has reauthorized Section 702, granting warrantless surveillance power plus adds giving NSA access to comms equipment of almost any US business. “It’s a gift to any president who may wish to spy on political enemies, journalists, ideological opponents” says @LizaGoitein
20 Apr 2024
It’s over (for now). A majority of senators caved to the fearmongering and bush league tactics of the administration and surveillance hawks in Congress, and they sold out Americans’ civil liberties. Section 702 has been reauthorized, not just without any meaningful reforms… 1/10

Two sociologists declined to speak with me for this story because that's how thorny it is to criticize the Cambodian government, even thousands of miles away in Long Beach. But Khmer pro-democracy activists are charging ahead anyway and pushing for change.

A little note for those who are facing layoffs in media. I offer a little advice to you: Prioritize career planning. Know that you are valuable regardless if you are employed or not. Practice self-care and know that you can't be a superhero to an industry that refuses to listen.
