Western journalists have largely failed to do anything more than stenographers of the imperialist narrative. Look to the artists, the writers, and social media from those in P🍉l3stine to receive the truth. We don’t need these middle-man accomplices to tell us what we are witnessing.

This!
The conversation we’re not ready to have yet is that having empathy for a white supremacist is part of what upholds white supremacy.
And by that measure alone, it fails to be empathy at all.

I guess there isn't a new low for Ixrl when they bomb kids waiting in line for water. However, world governments' inaction keeps falling deeper into the abyss of immorality.

Daniel W.K. Lee’s collection of poetry is a study on desire’s limbs, its breath, its unchecked tendencies on creatures who dare to love.
