In the US, ordinary people can’t pay bills but the government always has money for war and tax breaks for rich people. #nowaroniran

Trump bombed nuclear sites in #iran without any consideration or care for the fact that there will be radiation and fallout that will have long-term health effects on civilians and young children. This is what dehumanization looks like.

That ship is already out to sea. And it was crickets from all of you in the DNC all this week while Israel illegally attacked Iran, and for the past two years in Gaza. Shame on all of you.

All the hawks who led US into the disastrous war in Iraq and Afghanistan fell up in life. They're still on TV and writing columns and advising elected officials. Very few ever apologized. The same people are here now as Trump leads US into another reckless war with Iran.

US attacks on #iran again show its disregard for law & human life.
Iran’s signatory to NPT (Israel is not & has nukes), lets IAEA inspect (Israel does not) & US‘s Gabbard said no evidence Iran’s building bomb in March 25. Trump broke JCPOA in 2018 started war w/o evidence & congressional approval.

Subverting Racialized Mobility Regimes: Ethical Research with Migrant Youth in an Age of Securitization In France, minoritized migrant youth—a term encompassing various legal statuses and migration trajectories—are subject to systems of surveillance that include racialized policing, school securitizatio...

In illiberal political conditions, researchers & educators must develop more expansive political horizons & ethical frames.This work is challenging, but may also be creative & subversive.This article, based on my work w/ migrant youth in France, explores these & other points.

Just like the manufactured panic against drag, politicians attack a bogeyman of their own creation so they can give cover to doing more of the shit they actually care about: more war, more cops, more prisons, and rolling back whatever gains are left from the civil rights and labor movements.

I have long heard the Iranian diaspora legend of a Ghormeh Sabzi Pizza, and how it won a competition in Italy years ago. For years I resisted (‘blasphemy!’😂) but this weekend I went for it. Started basic with a store-bought baked crust, but it came out surprisingly well! I plan to refine this… 🇮🇷🍕

UC Santa Barbara police seek access to a vast trove of student data related to Gaza protests Civil liberties advocates are sounding the alarm after UC Santa Barbara police sought a sweeping search warrant for student data related to Gaza protests.

Following protests in support of #Palestine in #SantaBarbara, police are pushing for "a sweeping search warrant...[that would give police] IP addresses and data about users who have messaged, commented, liked and potentially even just seen the groups’ posts..." www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

All these words, and not one mention of #BDS nor of #Palestine. For me, Starbucks was, is, and forever will remain—a public restroom in a pinch.

I saw ‘Wicked’ with my kids last night. Enjoyed it! It offers ways to open political conversations with young people. The film effectively conveys a familiar concerned-by-yet-complicit-with-fascism liberalism and the policing of dissent, as well as a compelling model of self-love and solidarity.

Gonna’ pin this here.

Will be in and out quick at #AAA in Tampa today through Friday, but hoping to see some of you there!
