I participated in an event for @rvamag.bsky.social two weeks ago and was asked if authoritarianism is inevitable in America.
Let yesterday be a reminder that when we fight, we win, and authoritarianism is never inevitable.

New article out now with @smokegatherer.bsky.social and Nasir Almasri on the Palestinian movement and demobilization. We look at the protests of 2021, the unity intifada, and their aftermath on the structure of the movement. Hopefully the 1st of a few articles on this topic

On this day, Sept 30 2000, Muhammad al-Durra was killed on camera.
I was 9 years old. On this day I understood the lives of Palestinian children were considered cheap by many.
If only we knew that we would go on to watch thousands of children die on our screens.

Recognizing statehood is pointless in this context of absolute refusal. Israel must be stopped first.
