I am so upset.
Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

To be asked to write about racism only to be racially aggressed in the editing process is a new level unlocked I have to say.

You don’t have to mourn war criminals. You don’t have to issue condolences to their families.
You don’t have to launder their legacies.
Save your grief for the innocents they killed, maimed or tortured without ever seeing justice served to their executioners.

Much of our lack of empathy is due to teaching that luck is antithetical to hard work as opposed to something out of our control that acts as a catalyst or inhibitor. To be successful, you need luck. And it’s wrong to deny the existence of luck and especially wrong to not help those who are unlucky.

This is moving because he’s addressing our community— but it’s also so so good, like, technically in terms of pronunciation. The authenticity of this campaign is off the charts because there are so many of us, from all different backgrounds, so invested.

Emergency funds to foods banks aren’t sufficient — these people are employed and caregivers they can’t afford to stand on long food lines. The way aid is delivered is just as important as the cash itself in terms of who is able to benefit

I just don’t think we’re freaking out enough about this SNAP cut. I have spent my whole career working with people who rely on SNAP for food. People who work multiple jobs. Who have kids. What do you think happens when 1/8th of the population can’t buy food anymore? Everything is going to collapse.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

People all over this country had their children taken from them, sent to be reeducated — their land taken, their language taken, their food erased. Their wealth stolen and then lent to them as debt. And we speak like it’s far but it’s happening again and again and now.

On this day Columbus Day as we watch the release of Palestinian hostages whose families aren’t even allowed to express joy at their freedom, I am haunted by the fact that people, for centuries, have lived under the authority of stupid, vile oppressors. That is actually the history of our world.

That’s already what’s happening in Lebanon. Israel kills regularly, violates the ceasefire agreement on an hourly basis.

Since Israel signed a ceasefire deal with Lebanon, Israel has:
- killed 280 people

- violated the agreement around 4,500 times
That’s in under a year

International representatives have independently verified the cargo on each ship. They pose no harm.
