A banner that is light green. In the background is a painted texture, with a black ink drawing of a hooded crow. The title is dark green and says, "Help survivor Ahmed start his degree." In the bottom corner are some green paint strokes, over which the text reads, "Give: tinyurl.com/HelpAhmedF. Accountability: tiny.cc/HelpAhmed.”

I genuinely don't know how to do this. We have one day to help a children's therapist from Gaza with living expenses for the next month. State violence + more mean that genocide hasn't ended for Ahmed while he studies abroad.

Israel bombs Tehran oil depots; Iranian attacks on Gulf states continue Qatar, Saudi Arabia and UAE report more attacks despite assurance from Iran's president that the strikes will stop.

Horrifying scenes from Tehran as oil depots are on fire, poisoning the environment. As with Gaza, the goal is ecocide, to make Iran unlivable. aje.news/64yl8m?updat...

BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.

Some ancestors are homeless. Some live inside the tree. Some are hungry. Some are homeless and hungry. Some are stretching, expanding. Some are agitated. Some are at peace. The nature of their appetite is mutable, always changing.

I’m Not Done With You | Mary Turfah You cannot harm a corpse, though you can use it to harm others.

“Israel’s approach to the Palestinian body emerges from a cross between the utilitarian logic of how death becomes life—here not between individual bodies but through them, for the nation—and the retrofitted justification to kill, in life’s name.”

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

Shelter, Goods & Activities x The Sameer Project The inititaive was originally formed to secure, purchase, and distribute tents in Southern Gaza but in January 2026, the campaign was rebranded to "Shelter, Goods & Activities" to cover not only tents...

Seeing from Sameer Project that tents are breaking down. We are so angry that this is the ask since people should not have to continue to be displaced… but please pitch in so that they can replace tents that have torn and disintegrated after 2+ years.

Concentration Camps USA, Part 1 on loving ICE and preserving a concentration camp / on stealing history and erasing memory

What do these two things have in common?

1. Establishing a Japanese American concentration camp as a National Historic Site.

2. Thanking ICE for "protecting the homeland."

Trump Has Made ICE the Largest Law Enforcement Agency in the Country With Congress-approved funding, ICE detention is expected to triple in size, mirroring the scale of Japanese internment.

For @truthout.org I wrote an analysis of the mass deportation boom during 2025. Amid all the spectacle, the passage of the funding bill in July was an ominous milestone in the history of U.S. immigration policy and the Trump administration's aspiring fascism.
