Ta-Nehisi Coates asks Palestinian scholar and writer Tareq Baconi “what is it about this genocide particularly” that has changed us? Baconi, who has written extensively on Hamas and the history of Palestinian resistance, points to three factors. It’s happening in full view of the world, yet still allowed to continue. The gaslighting by governments and major media creates a “dual reality” that denies what people can see for themselves. And at its core, he says, the genocide exposes the colonial foundations of Western power. Baconi stresses that the path between a fascist or decolonial future runs directly through Palestine. via @PalFest

listening to @BrownsvilleKa felt more like unearthing ancient scrolls than listening to music. a true artist whose ability to balance life’s other responsibilities never kept him from accessing the divine. a daily inspiration. RIP to one of the greatest we had 🙏🏽

Ka is one of the greatest artists of his or any era, a personal hero of mine, a model for personal and creative integrity, a genius, one of a kind. absolutely devastating news. rest in peace.

It's here!! @oceanator's powerful new album, Everything is Love and Death, is out now. 💛 oceanator.ffm.to/everything-…

pitchfork news is awful. the dream of working in music; as an artist, a journalist, a publicist, etc. just got much harder to conceive. the only job I'm sure will be around in 5 years is the major label nepo baby a&r who cites billboard charts when discussing their fav artist

great song, @Ratboysband are killing it even more impressive: Julia has been managing a very competitive fantasy basketball team while touring mad respect to my potential playoff opponent. true multi-hyphenate. game recognize game.

YOU NEVER THOUGHT HIP-HOP WOULD TAKE IT THIS FAR thx @UTKtheINC the 🔌 #100KPyramid
