Editorial Director at grassroots media outlet weavenews.bsky.social. Author of Global Palestine (2011). Guitarist/vocalist for indie rock band Bee Children. I believe in the tradition of the oppressed.
Straight 🔥from Edward Said in 1979, more relevant than ever today.

The Guardian smartly recognizes that a potential UN ambassador who believes in "biblical rights" is kind of a big story. Yet you would never know that from reading the coverage from my local NPR station (which has covered Stefanik extensively over the years).

Object lesson in news framing.

Anyone who has ever read Paul Virilio's work will nod their head in resignation upon seeing this.

Grateful to @anetabrockhill.bsky.social for inviting me to join her class at the University of Exeter today as part of their module on "Global Palestine and the Politics of Solidarity." This image from the University of Valencia played a key role in my presentation.
