Greenblatt will get you to argue with him about anti-Zionism and antisemitism all day. What he doesn’t want you to do is to discuss Palestinians.

Make it only about Jews, whether you agree with him or disagree. That’s what he wants. That way you erase the group he doesn’t want you to see.

Sudan, Congo, & What You Can Do Humanitarian catastrophes are increasing before our eyes—here's how you can help counter the injustice

A reminder that Sudan is entering stage 5 famine. I wrote this detailed piece months ago and it is still relevant on how you can get involved and support those who are needlessly suffering in Sudan.

“This is my duty…reporting the suffering of a people that I am living amidst, suffering that I am experiencing myself.”

– Reporter Anas al-Sharif in what would become his final interview with us just weeks before being killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.

Graphic featuring the cover of the resource “Block & Build: But Make It Abolitionist” by Interrupting Criminalization, angled on a black brick background. The cover is brown, with the text in white and black. White text is above and below the cover, with the URL “bit.ly/blockbuildic” on a brown bar at the bottom. The text reads: “A free resource offering an abolitionist take on strategic frameworks for fighting Right-wing, authoritarian, and fascist agendas and regimes. Written by Andrea J. Ritchie. Also available in ‘zine format! We hope you share and use this tool in your community conversations, meetings, study groups, organizations, or anywhere people are asking themselves: what can we do?”

White text on a black brick background: “Asking yourself what you can do amid the ongoing, mounting attacks across multiple fronts? ‘Block & Build: But Make It Abolitionist’ is a resource to help you figure out and consider what strategic approach(es) you're best positioned to move forward in this moment — blocking, blunting, breaking, bridging or building — and where you might have power, influence, and opportunities to act to move that strategy forward. It is also a way to understand and situate abolitionist organizing projects and campaigns within broader multi-tendency, multi-strategy united fronts in current political contexts It is an invitation to expand our collective resistance beyond strategies that rely solely on and legitimize the carceral state, toward abolitionist visions for liberatory futures.”

Amid so many attacks across multiple fronts, it is helpful to consider and figure out what strategic approach(es) you're best positioned to move forward in this moment, and where. But how do you get started doing that?

More than 200 journalists have now been killed by the IDF in Gaza.

And so many journalists here haven’t expressed a single sliver of solidarity or outrage about it.

Nobody Cares That White Supremacists Are Calling the Shots Now Darren Beattie, a speechwriter for Trump early during his first term, posted the following in October 2024, a month before Trump would win re-election: “Competent white men must be in charge if you wa...

"Equally damning is that the Times, the Post, the Wall Street Journal.. haven’t chosen to make one singular story the dominant framing device of the past 6 months: The Trump administration is teeming with despicable gutter racists and President Trump and his cabinet are having them call the shots.."

I urge you not to be silenced by constraints, nor held back by borders, but to be bridges for the liberation of the land and its people.
Anas Al-Sharaf, from the village of Al-Majdal, district of Asqalan, and a martyr in Gaza, Palestine.

Yea, agree here. At the end of the day we gotta cool off on calling shit a distraction thing because multiple things can happen at once and you can be overwhelmed by the absurdity of things but that doesn't mean a certain thing is without consequence.

Funerals held for Al Jazeera journalists assassinated by Israel in Gaza Gaza mourners have laid to rest five Al Jazeera staff killed in an Israeli air strike on a media tent.

the state of the union is ehh not great

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

Violent crime is at an all-time low in D.C. the NYT acting as stenographers for the administration is shameful - this is an authoritarian crackdown on an overwhelmingly Democratic city. Accepting and amplifying the framing of the Trump admin is wildly irresponsible.

"Trump is stupid and THIS is the case that will do him in!"

-- As Trump continues to amass and deploy unspeakable, calculated power.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

Someone forgot to take down this webpage:

Trump considering deploying up to 1,000 National Guard to D.C. The number of Guard who would be assigned is still in flux, the officials say, and most of the troops would likely be pulled from the D.C. National Guard.

Trump’s move to mobilize the National Guard against Americans in DC is another telltale sign of his authoritarian ambitions. But at some point signs of authoritarianism stop being signs and become symptoms of an autocratic regime. We’re far past that point now. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/t...

Just to put some things in perspective. The IOF has killed more Palestinian per month (more than 2,000 on average) since October 2023 than Hamas has killed in its entire existence (less than 2,000 total since 1987).

This is a good time to remind y'all that Project 2025 equates "transgender ideology" to pornography.

A reminder that the Israeli government does not allow any international journalist into Gaza. That’s how they have killed more journalists than most conflicts combined since WWII while claiming that all the journalists they’ve killed were actually enemy combatants.

Between a "No Other Land" crew mate filming himself being killed by a settler, to a journalist being killed by airstrikes he was covering minutes earlier, I'm not sure how much more televised Israel's genocide can be

It’s worth noting that Trump is borrowing from Netanyahu’s playbook with whatever he is attempting in DC.

Because Israel is the largest purchaser of US weapons and funds politicians

Also Israel is a strategic and military outpost for the US’s geopolitics in the Middle eastern region

This is my will and my final message. If these words of mine reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. Peace be upon you, and the mercy and blessings of Allah. Allah knows that I exerted every effort and strength I had to be a support and a voice for my people, from the moment I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would prolong my life until I could return with my family and loved ones to our original hometown, the occupied Ascalon "Majdal." But Allah's will prevailed, and His decree was fulfilled.

Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif’s last tweet is his last will and testament, posted by his friend after he was murdered for telling the truth for 22 months.

‘A million calls an hour’: Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians Revealed: The Israeli military undertook an ambitious project to store a giant trove of Palestinians’ phone calls on Microsoft’s servers in Europe

Because I am angry I will share this again. One of the reasons that Israel is able to target individuals so precisely is that it collects every phone call in Gaza and stores the recordings in Microsoft Azure, then uses AI to analyze and pick targets.

"Before the new law passed, Adams’ relative was charged with two counts of child rape and two counts of child sodomy (all first-degree felonies), and faced up to 25 years to life in prison as well as a lifetime on the sex offender registry"

Anas Al Sharif spent 17 of his 28 years living under a brutal blockade supported by your tax $.

In 2008-09 and 2014, he survived bombings paid for by your tax $.

In 2023-2025 he documented a genocide funded by your tax $.

He was assassinated today with your tax $.

Today's assassination of al-Sharif and four other Al Jazeera staff brings the number of journalists killed by Israel to 237.

Sickening. Every journalist in America should think deeply about the fact that most American politicians are willing to accept and indeed facilitate the murder of our colleagues.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Unreal. Awdah Hathaleen, who worked on the Oscar-winning film “No Other Land,” filmed himself being killed by Israeli settler Yinon Levi.

Levi was freed from house arrest because the judge said there was no “causal connection” between him shooting & Awdah’s death.
