How do we attend to writing with this suffering around us? Doesn't our work look trivial in the face of what is unfolding? How do we think of ourselves in relation to what is happening in Palestine? dunyadigital.co/comment/from…

The member of the nuclear negotiating team said to have been assassinated by Israel is alive and posting:

Some good news today: 10 national unions are jointly demanding the release of immigrant workers detained by ICE, in what could be a prelude to more coordinated and direct action. labornotes.org/blogs/2025/04…

The board of the Journal of Architectural Education resigns in response to ACSA's decision to cancel the Fall issue on Palestine and for firing its interim executive editor for failing to comply with the decision. Respect and solidarity! For background: shorturl.at/LkwNb

At the summit last week on 4 March, a new plan for Gaza’s reconstruction was presented by Arab leaders as an alternative to Trump’s plan to expel Palestinians from Gaza. Our analysis indicates that this initiative—which has gained support from the European Council—includes an architectural master plan that carries forward key elements of Israel’s designed destruction of Gaza (as addressed in our Cartography of Genocide report bit.ly/cartography-of-genoci…), with its proposal for a ‘buffer zone’, security corridors, and raid routes.

Hundreds of families in tears. Parents waiting in the cold for hours, desperate to see their children. Mothers who’ve spent decades waiting for sons stolen from them. Wives, sisters, daughters waiting for fathers who may never come home. This is what Netanyahu’s government just did. Not a single headline. Not one breaking news alert. The world watches their suffering and turns away. Now flip it. Imagine Hamas breaking the ceasefire at the last minute, refusing to release one Israeli hostage. The outrage would be immediate, global, inescapable. But HUNDREDS of Palestinians left in chains? Silence. This isn’t just bias. It’s complicity. It’s the erasure of a people’s humanity in real time. As Palestinians, we’ve learned strategic patience. We won’t be broken, we’ll become more steadfast. Keep on going on until this system of oppression collapses once and for all. But it hurts to know that that would happen so much quicker, if the media wasn’t so dehumanizing of us. Even this post is going to be censored and shadowbanned because it has the word Palestine in it.

"We want to see a ceasefire now. As people who have survived the American genocide, we want to stop the genocide of the Palestinian people," says @NickTilsen, an Indigenous activist and citizen of the Oglala Lakota Nation.

Powerful, powerful words from the inimitable @jeremyscahill - his anger is palpable and every point he makes is searing, especially about how the neocons have found an incredible common ground with the Biden/Harris Democrats in genocide & regional war. Thank you @AymanM for giving him the space.

Read this and read it again. And then read it one more time. Where else have they done this?

The unfolding genocide in Gaza is the latest chapter in Israel’s attempt to remove Palestinians from their land. All those calling for a ceasefire should join in the longer-term efforts to dismantle Israeli apartheid. mondoweiss.net/2024/06/israe…

So excited to be in conversation with @whbutt @YaffaTruelove, @deanchahim and my co-host @pappupoppins about Life Beyond Waste on Wednesday 03/13. Please join us!

The South African foreign minister Naledi Pandor explaining that the only way Israel can comply with the order of the #ICJ is for there to be a ceasefire.

There's no discourse worse than genocide discourse. So of course I had to write about the gatekeeping that makes it so terrible -- how defenders of the US and Israel monopolize and weaponize the "g-word" and why their grip may finally be loosening. dissentmagazine.org/online_a…

This! @prisonculture talking about the Leftist Library Project on @DeathPanel_ : "The library is, for me, the last of the public goods that exist that we don't have to ask people to dream about making. It exists. It is here. And if we lose it, we will not get it back."

A reminder that this is happening tomorrow (November 15)! We are looking forward to it @ndrm @maanbarua @AseelaHaque @whbutt @csdsdelhi

It's rare to be part of two stellar events in one day ... An online discussion on #LivelyCities hosted by The South Asian Urban Climates - @pappupoppins and @ndrm, and a conversation with @whbutt, @AseelaHaque and Awadhendra Sharan (@csdsdelhi)! Online: information below!
