β€˜Hope Is Something That You Create’: Greta Talks Gaza, Trump, and LA Fires World-renowned activist Greta Thunberg joined Zeteo’s Town Hall to offer inspiration and draw connections between some of the world’s most pressing issues.

"Some people who have a very racist view of the world will not understand even the basic logic that if you care about human well-being you should care about all humans' well-being."

Greta Thunberg, to me, on why she speaks out on Gaza, & not just the climate crisis.

How Biden’s Foreign Policy Destroyed His Presidency Biden's domestic agenda was the most progressive of any president since Lyndon Johnson. But it was entwined with a foreign policy that leaves his legacy drowned in blood.

Most touching state funeral I have watched. They even sang John Lennon's Imagine, apparently his favorite song. All the speeches were outstanding! #Carter is being laid to rest in a befitting manner for the best ex President ever!

Carter was described as humble, humane, honest, loyal, principled and always graceful. Trump sat in the audience probably knowing that nobody would ever say any of these things about him. He looked bored.

Beautiful eulogy during #Carter's funeral today. It was delivered by the son of former President Gerald Ford, the Republican he unseated and who became his closest friend. He said that through his Habitat for Humanity work, Carter wanted to remind people that Jesus was a carpenter and not a king.

Regarding the Gulf of America, I think we should all support #Mexico in getting back California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona, as well as parts of Colorado, Kansas, and Wyoming. It all used to be Mexico....

Shout out to all the local Pakistani and Chinese restaurants and their staff who will be working Christmas.

As the manager at Royal Kabob told me, "Brother, we're always open. Even on the Day of Judgement, we'll be open."

Respect.

Kashmir LitFest Normalizes indian Occupation of Kashmir On November 3, the Srikula Foundation announced the first edition of its Kashmir LitFest, to be held on 7th and 8th December.

For any body interested in the Indian occupation of #Kashmir, here is the latest chapter in its cultural appropriation of the place. This was NOT about literature! Disgusting it was!

Big Max book cover.

Big Max book cover.

In elementary school, my teacher told my mother I was β€œunteachable.” I was behind in every subject, including reading. Then I found this one book in the school library and connected with it, reading it hundreds of times. I made a career in reading, writing, and editing.That’s what a book can do.

Just to be clear: however bad you think the Trump second term will be, I assure you it’ll be worse.

Bookmark this if you don’t believe me.

America Chose the Monster We all make mistakes.

For a myriad of reasons, America chose the monster.
It chose the hatred, the fear, the nihilism, the separation.

The essential question now becomes: are there enough of us left who refuse to let us become a monstrous nation?
