“What we are doing in Gaza is a war of extermination: indiscriminate, unrestrained, brutal, and criminal killing of civilians,” he said.

Not an antisemite.

Israel has already lost the Gaza war. It just doesn't know it yet As with Vietnam, two factors will end this slaughter: the determination of Palestinians to stay on their land, and mounting public outrage in the West

"The US dropped around 15 tonnes of explosives per square kilometre of Vietnam [making it the most bombed place on earth], while Israel has dropped 275 tonnes per square kilometre of Gaza - a figure that is higher by a factor of 18."

Death toll is now 98. There had never been a tragedy like this in my native city in my lifetime. Mourning so many artists and dear ones. This is beyond sad. 😢

I’m so sorry. This is beyond heartbreaking.

My previously published in memoriam piece for José Quiroga in @lasabluesky.bsky.social Forum, now in new format:

This is terrible

Sweet and short piece in Vanity Fair on my book TO SAVE AND TO DESTROY: WRITING AS AN OTHER (released just about now). Not bad for a university press book of academic lectures on literature and otherness. 🔗 www.vanityfair.com/style/story/...

Felicidades Sharina! 🎉

“On Any Road of Vieques, There’s Beauty Around”: Glorimar Marrero Sánchez on <em>La Pecera</em> - Filmmaker Magazine Publication with a focus on independent film, offering articles, links, and resources.

You should see THE FISHBOWL (LA PECERA), a deeply moving and lyrical debut, set on the Puerto Rican island of Vieques, that reflects the collective impact of political violence through an individual struggle.

I interviewed multi-disciplinary artist Glorimar Marrero Sánchez for Filmmaker Magazine.

The real danger was never cancellation by women, people of color, or queer and trans people or their “wokeness.” The real danger is censorship, banning, deportation, incarceration, and war by the nation-state and white nationalist identity politics that masks itself as American patriotism.

These attacks on birthright citizenship are racist and disturbing. Birthright is a foundational principle of the United States ratified by the passage of the 14th Amendment to recognize Black people as full humans. Take it away and we risk losing basic humanity. #resist

And all over the Caribbean. We don’t want his debris.
