In 2 Years of Gaza Genocide, Sunday Shows on NBC, ABC and CNN Have Not Featured a Single Palestinian Guest In a microcosm of the U.S. coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza, since Oct. 7, 2023, influential Sunday news shows have not seen fit to book any Palestinians.

For 2 years of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, not one Palestinian voice has been featured on NBC, ABC or CNN’s Sunday shows.

@ahjohnson.bsky.social writes about how the U.S. media has debated Palestinians’ annihilation without letting a single Palestinian speak.

A student in my publishing course is interested in researching book pulping and book recycling. Do we know any work or introductory material in this area?

(Work on remainders, print runs, supply chain, raw materials all relevant, too.)

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Your help are an investment in rebuild a woman and an architect My name is Alaa, and I hold a Master’s degree in Architecture.

When we talk about fundraising for people in Gaza it is about survival, it is about getting out of the worst circumstances. We rarely discuss their dreams, hope, for rebuilding? What lives will be lived if the bombs were to stop falling tomorrow? Alaa is asking for support for her future

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

Absolutely outrageous to say that a uni’s academic press doesn’t serve its undergraduates. Non-profit university presses support and sustain a scholarly and intellectual system THAT MAKES TEACHING UNDERGRADUATES POSSIBLE. No presses? no fields of study, no professors, no college.

a lot of people don’t realize what a gift it is to receive.

just to be receptive to what others have to offer. to what others bring into relation.

that too is generosity in action.

Microsoft blocks Israel’s use of its technology in mass surveillance of Palestinians Exclusive: Tech firm ends military unit’s access to AI and data services after Guardian reveals secret spy project

Microsoft will no longer allow Israel to use its cloud services to enable its mass surveillance of occupied Palestinians – "the first known case of a US technology company withdrawing services provided to the Israeli military since the beginning of its war on Gaza"

After The Alphabets I am trying to decipher the language of insects they are the tongues of the future their vocabularies describe buildings as food they can depict dark water and the veins of trees they can convey what they do not know and what is known at a distance and what nobody knows they have terms for making music with the legs they can recount changing in a sleep like death they can sing with wings the speakers are their own meaning in a grammar without horizons they are wholly articulate they are never important they are everything

One of my favorite poems since childhood, and a poem I share every #autumnequinox.
By the 12thc warrior poet Xin Qiji 辛棄疾, sidelined during peacetime, demoted, drifting through a decade of minor posts in remote lands.
Poetry, then, is that which is left unsaid.
“My, what a cool and lovely autumn.”

CBP Flew Drones to Help ICE 50 Times in Last Year The drone flight log data, which stretches from March 2024 to March 2025, shows CBP flying its drones to support ICE and other agencies. CBP maintains multiple Predator drones and flew them over the r...

“CBP has never stopped operating its drones on behalf of other federal, state, and local agencies, including ICE,” EFF’s @jenlynch.bsky.social told @404media.co. “In fact, the program has expanded exponentially since EFF first reported on it in 2012.”

I need money to buy gloves so that I never need again to touch it, money. I need gloves to separate my hands from dollars. Also from other hands when they hand me money, handling others' money, others' hands, disgusting. And cold, or hot, and lotion. To regulate mine own hands' temperatures, gloves. To buy them, money.

Yes, here's how to start a book ⚡⚡

Climate change ‘beyond scientific dispute,’ National Academies report says The report is a sharp rebuttal to a recent Trump administration's report, and Republicans have already targeted the report as “a blatant partisan act.”

It’s official (again): Climate change is real, it’s caused by us, and it’s dangerous

The science isn’t new

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

So if I understand it, the mere words “from the river to the sea” are definitely a call to genocide against Israel, while Israel actively blocking a Palestinian state, building 700K illegal settlements, & committing actual genocide of the Palestinian people is not.🤔

The vile & deadly hypocrisy.

I have been saying this for 3 years now; it is evident from even a theorerical understanding of these systems' operations. But ppl keep claiming it's not true or not important, or could be patched over, & so I keep hoping each time an "AI" company CEO comes out & admits will be the one that sticks

A pool flows over a small ledge in front, and behind a bright pink water lily reaches high from the water’s rippling surface and bright yellow-green lily pads. The background is shady with trees. It was peaceful place, and the sound of the water refreshing

I hope you all stay safe tonight and tomorrow is a better day

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school.

Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families?

My own colleagues are silent.

Why is it “if you can't pay rent, buy fewer lattes” and not “if you can't pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer yachts”?

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

“Kirk & I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side of the continued possibility of American politics.”

So it’s personal? B/c if you were a Black woman or transgender, Kirk would not imagine you having any role in the future of American politics.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

Whatever the Trump administration may claim, anti-doxxing laws apply to revealing private information publicly, NOT to recording police officers conducting law enforcement activity from a safe distance, EFF’s Sophia Cope told @Bloomberg.com. www.bloomberg.com/news/articl...

ICE reactivated its contract with spyware manufacturer Paragon Solutions. You can read more about it here, but what does that mean for using encrypted chat apps like Signal? 🧵(1/8)

Does this mean we can know who your nemesis presses are? : )
