That’s it. The money is always there.
Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.
Ending my day with such deep gratitude to the millions of people who protested in so many cities throughout the world today. Half a million in London alone. Over 3,100 events in the US. Munich, Paris, Lisbon.
You reminded us all of how alone we are not. The far right is the minority.

I hope all of my Muslim bothers and sisters are having, or had, or will have an Eid Mubarak!
If I had capital I would found a publishing house. There is no reason why these books should be so expensive. Also, academic presses: advertise!
My talk on translating Palestine at The University of Puerto Rico Mayaguez, where Palestine 🇵🇸 solidarity is alive and well.

So what I'm hearing is that, in the last five days, two Black Members of Congress have been assaulted in apparent support of the regime's deportation diktat (Rep Frost, punched at Sundance & told he'd be deported; Rep Omar at an ICE townhall) & the regime has arrested four Black journalists.

Let’s be clear: all of you war mongers cheerleading for the invasion of Iran (including the liberal both-sides-ers / two-things-can-be-true-ers AND white “feminists” ofc) because the Islamophobia synapses fire in your brains before any other neurones are responsible for the murders that follow.

Screenshot of a post on X by Ash (@theashrb) reading: “So the same goes for White Americans then no?” The post quotes Clash Report (@clashrep…) saying “Trump on Greenland: The fact that they landed a boat there 500 years ago doesn’t mean they own the land.” Below is a video still showing Donald Trump seated at a table with a microphone, with a U.S. flag behind him and White House-style doors in the background. A banner at the bottom reads: “TEXT ‘POTUS’ TO 45470 FOR UPDATES FROM THE WHITE HOUSE,” and a small speaker icon appears on the video thumbnail.
Don’t tell him about the Mayflower.
