When an agency can grab people first and sort out rights later, if they bother at all, everyone is at risk. Citizen or not.

In case anybody wondered what it looked like for a President to actually win a Nobel Peace Prize vs. pretending to win one by extorting a woman who only wants the best for her country.

I landed in the pages of the San Francisco Chronicle. I guess this is what it looks like when legacy media cover the activism of some of us in independent media. (Thanks to audience member Candace S. for sending me this pic.)

Politicians and people who only loosely can be called “journalists” have attributed meaning to Dr Abdel-Fattah’s words that are just so far away from her actual words. You don’t have a right to “cultural safety” if you think Palestinian children should be blown up — it’s absurd.
