I wrote a book about US media’s complicity in the Gaza genocide. It's available for pre-order. It’s a data-driven and, I hope, thorough account of how center-left media sold the American public on mass death in Gaza.

This CEO has long been a Trump supporter, fuck this store
“Nearly one hundred people had just one item on their list as they entered the Home Depot in Monrovia on Saturday: a small ice scraper worth a little less than a dollar.”
Day laborer organizers protest Home Depot, pressuring it to "scrape ICE out of their stores."
Over one hundred community members gathered at the Home Depot in Monrovia Saturday to pressure the company to stop the immigration raids taking place at its locations.

Still feel guilty but also when a white person in the audience starts bragging that they make eye contact with immigrants every day, what do you do but leave
I signed up for a Hands Off training aware that it wouldn’t quite be my vibe but I left halfway through (a mere 2 hours in) bc it was unbearable
Now feeling guilty as I’m not engaged in anti ICE work (or any organizing). Maybe I’ll print/share some SALUTE zines

As Federal Prisons Run Low on Food and Toilet Paper, Corrections Officers Leave in Droves for ICE
Many of the problems the agency is facing now are not new, but staff and prisoners fear an exodus of officers could make life behind bars even worse.
