Two years. So much remains unwritten, unsaid, unimagined. And the grief remains.

But this one is for you, Refaat Alareer, one of greatest of “Palestinian stone-throwers in the first Intifada.”

#ReadPalestine Day 5 #AMapofHome by Randa Jarrar is a stunning, brave, brash, poignant, hilarious, all-together brilliant novel. If revolution is powered by joy (and vice versa) this book shows how revolutions are intimate, personal, familial and public. All at once!

December Month of Action for Xinachtli Texas is killing Xinachtli Read and join us in taking action to prevent another revolutionary elder from dying in prison

What's happening Xinachtli (Alvaro Hernandez) is a 73 year old Chicano revolutionary organizer who has survived 23 years of solitary confinement under the Texas carceral system. Today, his health has collapsed under the weight of state violence: rapid weight loss, multiple falls, severe mobility issues, and increasing difficulty breathing. He is being held in the McConnell Unit infirmary under so-called palliative care, yet denied real medical treatment, denied diagnosis, and denied access to his own medical records. During his time in the infirmary, prison staff threw away his belongings, "lost" his commissary card, and have intentionally given him incorrect forms to obstruct medical visitations and access to care. Xinachtli is hungry, isolated, and his health is rapidly declining. the state has made it clear that they intend to let him die.

What you can do no. 1: phone and email blast Call the McConnell to demand they give X access to commissary and his medical records immediately: McConnell Unit: (361)362-2300 Call TDCJ Health Services to demand X receive his medical records and get transferred to a hospital for treatment IMMEDIATELY. TDCJ health services: (936)437-4271 Call or email TDCJ State Classification Committee to demand they reclassify X so he can be transferred to a medical facility TDCJ SCC: (936) 437-6231 classify@tdcj.texas.gov

Our Demands Our demands below represent the minimum necessary steps to prevent the continued deterioration of his health and premature death. We DEMAND: 1. Immediate re-instatement of his access to commissary so he can obtain food, hygiene supplies, and other critical items necessary for survival. 2. immediate transfer to the TDCJ hospital in Galveston for a comprehensive medical evaluation and treatment, with complete access to his medical records and full transparency regarding all procedure. 3. Transfer to an ADA-accessible geriatric and medical unit, with Xinachtli requesting placement at the Richard P. LeBlanc Unit in Beaumont, Texas. 4. Approval of Medical Recommended Intensive Supervision (MRIS) in recognition of the severity and progression of his medical condition, ensuring he can receive appropriate care outside of TDCJ's abusive environment.

*URGENT CALL TO ACTION** Xinachtli's health continues to decline and his life hangs in the balance. After the devastating loss of Jamil Al-Amin, we cannot afford to lose another revolutionary to the jaws of the state. Plz sign up for a phone shift TODAY! bit.ly/xphoneblast

*** For people in the US, there's really no excuse....less than half of the 15-minute phone shifts have sign-ups filled out for today. This has widely shared on socials, and yet we are still not meeting the moment for Xinachtli with the urgency it deserves.

We repeat, ANYONE can make these calls

How Palantir shifted course to play key role in ICE deportations “The truly progressive position on immigration” is “extreme skepticism,” says Alex Karp, a longtime Democrat and the data management company’s chief executive.

'“The truly progressive position on immigration” is “extreme skepticism,” says Alex Karp'

Who is a Black Jew whose family came here via open immigration policies and slavery

While he advocates for closed immigration policies and technologies designed to enslave

fuck you Alex
fuck you

Remember: DO NOT LEAVE NEGATIVE REVIEWS OF A BOOK BECAUSE AMAZON DAMAGED IT!!!! This does NOTHING to affect Amazon, only the author who had nothing to do with the damage! Amazon has an extremely lenient return and replacement policy, PLEASE just use that instead.

In fact it's worth showing more of what Stanley said about 1865 West Africa Committee: History Reclaimed probably aren't aware of it but their rhetoric on reparations too echoes his uncannily:

On the Royal Navy's antislavery West Africa Squadron. Lord Stanley in 1865 or perhaps History Reclaimed and their right wing press allies today?

A tribute to Captain Bahjat Bahjat Tantish was a pillar of Palestine’s sports community, an inspiring karate coach, a policeman and a farmer.

“Bahjat took the shell instead of me. He stood between me and death. He saved me, but at the cost of his life.” #eiGazaDispatches

PS you actually have to learn and do the work once you say this because that👆🏽 isn’t an eternal get-out-of-racist-jail card.

Protip for good white people: there IS a answer when asked “are you racist?”

You simply say: “being born and raised in white supremacy means all of us hold and racialised worldviews. But I am learning about racism and working on changing my worldview and myself.”

“I think we have to be careful with the Nazi comparisons” people are always waiting until we are five minutes until the Holocaust and then they’re like well it’s only ethnic cleansing not a Holocaust

What a lovely review: #Refuge “is a collection that walks many roads, but which holds up a signpost: Love is always the one path forward through violence, even if just for a moment of self-redemption.”

Keep thinking about publishing industry’s silence over George Weidenfeld’s letters to Jeffrey Epstein. And the industry’s choices - and silences - today.

Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇
