Over a year and a half of genocide.
This piece began as a reckoning—with memory, national symbols, and what it means to carry identity in diaspora.
A dove wing.
An olive branch. A kuffiyeh.
Each, a quiet form of nonviolent resistance—tied to the fence, and breaking through it.

As an urbanist, I keep thinking about the low birth rate “crisis.” My theory: It’s not culture—it’s capitalism doing what it was designed to do. 🧵

Are you too a wanderer? A traveler? A truth seeker of dreams kneeling under the celestial gaze of a moon? A sun? Another world?
Waxing and waning through moments of discovery or enveloped by the invisible as you hide amid a crowd?

Convince me this $1.1B Washington Commanders stadium deal is worth it — I ran the rough numbers and it doesn’t add up.
I’m not against sports, just deeply skeptical of to codt. What else could DC do with a 1.1 billion subsidy. A lot.

I am against civilians being disappeared, held without trial, tortured, and killed. It’s hostage taking and terror whether it’s Hamas or the IDF. #peace is putting human life first. #palestine
Walid Khaled Abdullah Ahmad was a 17-year-old Palestinian from the town of Silwad, located in the occupied West Bank. Like many young Palestinians, Walid grew up under military occupation, facing checkpoints, raids, and daily restrictions on his freedom. (1/3)

Republicans in the Senate voted tonight while no one is watching to fatten Wall Street profits by jacking up overdraft fees on you.
So much for lowering costs.

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.
Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again.
NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

The Constitution is clear: the President can't arrest people he disagrees with.
By detaining Mahmoud Khalil — a legal permanent resident whose American wife is 8-months pregnant — Donald Trump seeks to undermine basic freedoms.
We must oppose this move toward authoritarianism.

Trump’s team is already saying they will not spend funds that Congress has authorized and appropriated.
There is no point in Democrats voting to fund the government only to let Trump and Musk do whatever they see fit with those funds.

Senate Democrats must vote against the Republican's continuing budget resolution
It's the only way to hold the Trump regime accountable. Call your senators now.

Netanyahu’s extremist government has halted ALL humanitarian aid into Gaza.
Starving children is a war crime.
UN leaders said: "International humanitarian law is clear: we must be allowed access to deliver vital lifesaving aid. We need to get aid in and the hostages out.”
