Journalist Anas Al-Sharif removes his helmet and announces a ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel. His voice steady as his fellow Palestinians lift him into the air in celebration. For 15 months, the Al-Jazeera correspondent has reported on the genocide of his people in Gaza.

Trump may be especially extreme but anti-immigrant sentiment is bipartisan.

The single essay that I tell people to read the most often is this one from James Baldwin that is ostensibly about Jews and white supremacy but is really about how to think about oppression and how we respond to it. The last third is especially incredible.
