happy birthday to the all-time great. below, a translation of one of my favorites of her poems:

They have this weird fantasy where black people are the conduits for moral change in America, but also they never do anything except get sprayed by hoses and bit by dogs.

This is what I meant about liberals flat out denying what happened to find a way to still support it. Ivan Hunter pled guilty for firing a rifle at the police station, not to burning it down, and notably his bragging about having done so was “with the black community.”

Whatever their reasons, just let them do their thing. We all need enjoyment too, not just survival.

🚨The University of Pittsburgh’s Palestine encampment reestablished NOW on university lawn amidst elevated police presence.

Pittsburgh comrades—join.

'Institutions whose humanistic and social (even socialist) inspiration were manifest for Jews — the kibbutz, the Law of Return, various facilities for the acculturation of immigrants — were precisely, determinedly inhuman for the Arabs.'

“This act was done in retaliation against UCPD, for their attack on students yesterday on a different campus… More specifically – this attempt to torch a police car in front of the university was in solidarity w our Palestinian siblings assaulted by the zionist state in Rafah.”

Busy weekend in Berkeley...

Snax wendy trevino ^^^ This. The laxity. Taking the existence of such self-serving journos as a given (bc it is), the problem then becomes Why TF are ppl/'us' being so sloppy? And that is a real question. There are a handful of key, nameable dynamics driving this bad practice.

As you begin your day with a refreshing shower, remember those who have been unable to experience this basic necessity for the past eight months, and those who have cruelly denied them this right.

wendy trevino This journo proudly publicly met with Obama btw, to promote his book & prison “reform” - of exactly the kind that gave Obama his veneer of progressivism

For an apolitical liberal movie that is almost but not quite acknowledging the presence of fascists in the US it seemed disturbingly fitting

crucial points by Abboud Hamayel (Abdaljawad Omar) on the secular anxiety underpinning much insistence on the multiplicity/complexity/diversity of politics in Palestine + a discussion about the 'pragmatism' of the PA relevant far beyond the specific case followed...

& I mean where ppl are in some way boosting aptp as an org--I do think ppl should be cautious anywhere that is going on

wendy trevino He also kept filming people that whole summer despite being “radical” and having been asked dozens of times not to. Eventually resulting in people being doxxed after his footage went viral on far right platforms. I still hate his ass.

Cops off campus now!!
