Palestine protests hit a little different in Barcelona. Catalan chants and an enormous Guernica banner to anchor the march.

We are already in it. The US weapons and money are bombing multiple countries and waging a genocide while instituting martial law at home.
Palestine. Congo. Sudan. It’s already happening. If you don’t see it you have a level of privilege I don’t want.

Adam’s sent me racist, Islamaphobic messages in Dec 2023. Every vile Zionist lie about Palestinians. And an offer to ‘educate’ me.

The women I admired growing up were Martha Gellhorn and Marie Colvin. Now it’s Hind Khoudary and Mariam Barghouti. Over 200 Palestinian journalists targeted and murdered by Israel … these 2 women have survived and keep reporting. 1 from Gaza and the other from occupied West Bank also under attack.

30 years after my first visit to Paris, I entered the country yesterday with a visa to live here. This is my 15th year living as an immigrant. Not an expat. Immigrant. Grateful to every country who has granted me visas over the past 30 years. Keenly aware of my privilege as white US citizen.
