Make Common

Hah! On the money. At best a way to add some undue moral glory to the normal flattery, sycophancy, and aesthetic conformity that goes with economies of clout. At worst, a way to excuse harmful behavior..."Well, the ARE A good literary citizen."

Abolish the category of literary. And citizen. And literary citizen.

or reheated regime change racism applied to Latin America
or reheated Sinophobia
there's not peace
the war machine is recalibrating
& Israel remains, intact, as a genocidal apartheid state

and has spent decades trying to destroy the power of the arab working classes. will liberals and progressives be able to maintain their fledgling solidarity with palestinians & extend it the other victims or U.S.-Israel aggression or will they fall for reheated rah rah regime-change orientalism?

mindful of the lessening direct violence marked by the ceasefire in gaza. mindful that enormous shipments of arms are on their way to israel (including ammo casings from Buffalo) and that the war & genocide machine requires destruction, somewhere, to cohere

columbus was definitely a p.o.s. but i think israel is showing us that history is not progressive and that western culture is marked by both the recurrence and mutation of settler-colonial savagery

Liz Howard from North Nord Giiwedin: “a screen test in the abattoir / of the encounter my lineage / a quack chandelier of forest bones and trash / for lack of any other occupation // within childhood” … & “toward the city gichi-oodena / where the air irradiated / my peach pit doggerel art” fuck yeah

Qatar Facility at U.S. Air Force Base in Idaho Sparks Controversy MAGA influencers criticized a training agreement announced by Defense Secretary Hegseth.

U.S. pay someone to do your killing imperialism

New York’s Biggest ICE Detention Center Bans Book Deliveries Rejected books include a Spanish-English dictionary, a Spanish translation of a George R.R. Martin novel, and "The Seven Principles for Making Marriage…

ICE has banned all books in Western New York concentration camp. I've met a chronically ill novelist locked up there. Can't imagine how devastating this is. If yr in Buffalo, see below for migrant support groups. nysfocus.com/2025/10/08/b...

The ceasefire is not a ceasefire. Not in Lebanon, not in West Bank, not in Gaza. Mere 'ceasefire' in Gaza sees Israeli ongoing settler colonialism & genocide. Israel bombs Lebanon almost daily, killing people, destroying 300 pieces of heavy machinery necessary to rebuild. podur.org/2025/10/12/a...

"The initial troop withdrawal line is well within Gaza, with the Israeli military still controlling 56% of the enclave....While a deal was reached on “phase one” of a ceasefire, details of how the plan will advance beyond that remain murky."

Amy De'ath & Fred Wah' Toward. Some. Air. patched some major gapers in my brain. feels lik major post-conceptualist resource for writers not interested in po-establishment award-ready verse (infrastructure of which is collapsing anyway). Sean Bonney, Dionne brand, Amy D talking w/ Spahr, Moten

hang in there!

capital (& its fan-jawns) sure is doubling down on protecting property over actual real ass humans.

In Milton's heaven, all the angels face God as mirrors for his glory. In our current hell, every mirror pointed at the sovereign must be smashed. Both are kinda totalitarian. That said, I think Milton wasn't that interested in heaven.

And called for more flotillas. As in, this isn't the end. It's the beginning.

Tonnes of ammunition en route to Israel A Nazi regime-linked company is among the suppliers of 563 tonnes of bomb shells and ammunition headed to Israel on a ship moored at a US port.

Irish reporters have dug up the source of tons of bullets destined for Israel & genocide--a plant in Buffalo off Military Road, owned by a company whose former CEO was a friggin Nazi brown shirt.

They maintain an office at

Just fixed a door that wouldn't catch by putting a nickel under the latch plate and thought of the time my friend Tom & I got drunk, built a shoe rack, then wrote & recorded a song about building a shoe rack & this is what William Morris was talking about & what everyone deserves everyday right?

Italian journalist Lorenzo D’Agostino describes Greta Thunberg wrapped in an Israeli flag “like a war trophy,” mocked, beaten & humiliated. Ben Gvir oversaw detainees treated “as terrorists.” Read his account of what happened after activists were illegally detained on the Global Sumud Flotilla ⬇️

The entity is torturing Greta Thunberg.
That's how far gone they are.
