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.

As ICE targets undocumented people in and around my city, I am proud of Chicago organizers and community members who are working to protect our neighbors. If you are discouraged in these times, remember that people of conscience are taking action and that there are many ways you can join them.

Maybe you're thinking - ugh, how can you be posting about Indigenous Futurisms right now when the world is ending?

Indigenous Peoples are post-apocalyptic Peoples! We've experienced multiple world endings. We survive not by becoming violent and insular and fearful. We expand our kinscapes.

If you encounter an ICE agent and are a US citizen resist and do not comply with any of their requests.

Do not give them your name, Do not provide them your ID,
Do not speak to them in English.

Make them work for it, the more time they spend on you the less time they spend rounding up people.

I’m not going to hyper-focus on every action and word of this administration, especially since there are no consequences, but it’s hard to say that the white South African who has been spouting Nazi shit publicly for a while now somehow accidentally did a gesture similar to the Nazi salute twice

I have struggled with my role is as an Arabic speaker with a platform, in the face of the need in Gaza. I have decided to start a series I'm calling “Voices of Gaza” that tells a fuller story of people’s lives and dreams beyond victimhood.

I hope you'll help amplify.

“This is what settler colonialism, if unchecked, leads to.”

UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese told the European Palestinian Network Conference in Denmark that she is “shocked” but not “surprised” by the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
