This article made me ill. It's clear that the Israeli army is massacring Palestinians daily, but to read it in the soldiers' own words...they're just "following orders."
"It's a killing field," one soldier said. "Our form of communication is gunfire."

love thinking alongside my students about the narrator’s “proximity” to a character… proximal to what? their articulated thoughts? their unarticulated feelings? their heart? their skin? how close is the “close third person” really?!

That left exposed enormous pits of soil contaminated with deadly chemicals.
Now, after losing several weeks of work, the contractors are scrambling — at their own expense — to secure the Bien Hoa air base before the rainy season starts.

you cannot ever be free unless you are willing to act free.
One thing that never ceases to amaze me is how willing people are to acquiesce to their oppression. Like if you're censoring yourself in anticipation of censoring then you just did their work for them. Stop it. Especially if you can afford to. Each time we do that we build their castle for them.

one of key functions of immigration raids & crackdowns is not to actually deport all migrants/refugees but to deepen conditions of social precarity & labor deportability. to make migrants more vulnerable to exploitation from bosses & landlords & banks, and to create scapegoats for austerity policies
