“Writing is a displacement, a displacement from the normal social contract. A displacement from the habitual, the pattern, and the ready form. The poet strives to escape from the dominant, used language, to a language that speaks itself for the first time." 🖤Mourid Barghouti🖤

At a later meeting, talking thru cigarette smoke in a noisy hotel bar, he knockd on the table between us:“This is poetry. Language is here –in the street, in the mud, in the shop, in the kitchen, in the mkt, the discussions, in everyday life. And you can make poetry out of this.”

For a moment, it might seem like just an ordinary screenshot—but it isn’t. This is my late father’s contact. I was trying to search for one of my friends, and while I was typing “my brother,” my father’s contact appeared. What I felt in that moment… no matter how much I try to explain it, the full meaning of that pain may never reach you. It was as if my chest was torn into two halves. I remembered those days when he used to call me and say, “Where are you, my son? Don’t you see how dangerous things are? Come quickly and don’t wander around too much.” How can this world be so harsh and unjust? I miss you, and I miss your calls, my father. Since you left, no one has told me to take care of myself or protect my soul. I’ve become like someone lost on this earth, not caring about my own well-being. You were safety and comfort. I just want to say that I miss everyone I have lost.

Imperialists will always pathologise, dismiss & delegitimise resistance to imperial subjugation as backwards, irrational & fundamentalist — the actions of hateful extremists, agitators & foreign-backed proxies, anything but the rational, human reaction to oppression that it is.

💥This statement from the Israeli prime minister's office can politely be termed a brazen lie. No one has stopped Jews from praying at the Western Wall or at any Old City synagogues, even those with no bomb shelters, so long as wartime guidelines are observed.
Prime Minister of Israel@IsraeliPM

As a result, Israel has temporarily asked worshippers from all faiths not to worship at the holy sites in Jerusalem’s Old City to protect them.

The objective of the war has become undoing the consequence of the war. The stupidest war in history.

It's amazing how the Green party leadership, a woman, a gay Jew and a Muslim, manages to be accused of islamaphobia, antisemitism and misogyny all at the same time. Perhaps this is just the media and establishment having a breakdown because they know the Greens are gonna tax the rich?

#عاجل | هيئة البث الإسرائيلية: المنطقة الصناعية "نئوت حوفاف" التي استهدفتها الصواريخ الإيرانية تُعد من أكبر المجمعات الكيميائية في صحراء النقب جنوب البلاد، وكانت قد نُقلت سابقًا من حيفا إلى الجنوب خشية استهدافها من حزب الله.

It is and hooray, but there is no revolution until the cheapness that comes with the cleanness is delivered to households. The cheapest electricity ever* retails at prohibitive prices to act as the counter-revolution! A government of change would fix it urgently #MayElections
Will Hutton@williamnhutton

Ed Miliband gets relentless bile from the right for his ‘ideological’ commitment to clean, cheap renewable energy - just as Nye Bevan once did for creating the NHS. Yet on March 25 97.7 % of our electricity was from renewables. A revolution is unfolding. observer.co.uk/news/columnist…

Disgraceful, even obscene. The unique quality of the Green Party under Zack Polanski is that it can be trusted with difficult truths. That's the basis of the popularity, even populism. Z is R is overly 2D but during a genocide by Zs it requires clarity. Trust pivots on Palestine.
Canary@TheCanaryUK

We have decided to publish the Green Party conference debate around the @Greens4P Zionism is Racism motion in full (with names redacted). It is important for people to hear the concerted efforts some members made to waste time to stop it going through. But, Lubna Speitan who co-authored the motion got the last word. As she summed up (and as we echo): This is our refusal to be silenced in the face of injustice and to fight for what is left before it's too late.

He is as desperate as he looks: merely a PR agent for the #AxisOfGenocide Each term in that sentence deserves attention. What does he mean by 'end'? Or 'alliance'? 'Left' even. Esp 'unholy'. Is it 'holy' to merge with Israeli genocide triggered by the Bible & Torah (Amalek)?!
