I'm on this week's episode of @NPRCodeSwitch talking about my 2022 Elle article, the experience of researching the Black Manosphere, and how that online community is playing into the rise of Black male voters for Trump: npr.org/2024/10/30/121…

Somewhere in 2020/2021 a cartoonist/illustrator was on here talking about the problematics of drawing Black characters exclusively with light or green eyes. I am desperately trying to find that very thorough, thoughtful thread. Anybody know who it was?!

my father was one of the whistleblowers of the Darfur genocide—there’s been a bounty on his head since before i was born. my uncle was denied asylum every year until his murder. years before you noticed us. our siblings in Gaza know we’ve lost so much more than “jobs” #sayDarfur
Caitlin Johnstone@caitoz

Do you notice how nobody's losing their jobs for criticizing the genocidal atrocities in Sudan? How mainstream western politicians are able to call out the RSF and the UAE without having their careers nuked by high-powered lobby groups? How the western media aren't churning out op-eds concern trolling about the possibility that anyone who opposes the el-Fasher massacres is actually a closet Nazi? How opposition to mass murder in Darfur isn't being algorithmically hidden by Silicon Valley plutocrats? How anyone who posts footage of an RSF war crime online isn't being swarmed by an army of full-time trolls making excuses justifying the atrocities and accusing those who criticize them of being hateful bigots? How western governments and institutions aren't doing everything they can to stomp out all speech that is critical of this particular humanitarian crisis? That's the difference, right there. That's why many westerners have been paying special attention to Gaza. For the last two years anyone who publicly criticized Israel's genocidal abuses in the Gaza Strip would be confronted by hasbarists saying "Why are you paying so much attention to Gaza instead of Sudan? You must just HATE JEWS!!" No, dipshit, I'm paying more attention to Gaza because my government isn't trying to make it illegal for me to criticize the RSF. Every major western institution isn't dedicated to facilitating genocide in Sudan and crushing all speech which opposes it. My rulers aren't backing a genocide in Sudan and commanding me to support it. The ongoing nightmare in Sudan is largely a product of the abuses of the western empire. The UAE is an imperial client state who the US and its allies recently supported in its years-long genocidal war on Yemen in partnership with Saudi Arabia. There are all kinds of threads you can trace back to western allies and partners in this genocide, as is the case for most of the worst things that happen in our world these days. But it's clearly different. Clearly. The evidence for this is in the extent to which western institutions have been protecting the genocide in Gaza versus the genocide in Sudan. Israel's abuses are much more intimately interwoven into the guts of the imperial machine than those of the RSF, who Washington will take a blowtorch to the instant it becomes geopolitically advantageous. Israel's abuses are completely inseparable and indistinct from the abuses of my own government. I've been focusing more on Gaza than on Sudan for the same reason I'd be more concerned if I knew my husband was murdering hitch hikers than I would be about reports of a serial killer in Brazil. It is right and good that the world is turning against the UAE, opposing western backing for that malignant state, and standing in firm opposition to what is happening in Sudan. But the complete lack of institutional resistance we've been seeing to this opposition shows that this genocide is much less dear to the heart of the empire than the genocide in Gaza. Opposing the genocide in Sudan is about saving Sudan. Opposing the genocide in Gaza is about saving ourselves. Saving our free speech. Saving our political systems. Saving our hearts. Saving our minds. Saving our soul.

Israel exterminated Yara and her entire family in Gaza today. Yara was not a combatant. She was a Palestinian medical student and volunteer at Al-Shifa Hospital — she saved lives. So Israel murdered her. Deliberately.

Unbelievable. The Holocaust museum LA *apologized* for sharing a general anti-genocide post, because it might be “misinterpreted” to include Palestinians. Palestinians are so dehumanized that they’re excluded from “never again,” apparently their genocide is the exception.

Speechless. No words for this.

When you remember the little lovely girl Hind Rajab, don’t forget the medics who were killed trying to save her: Yousef Zeno and Ahmad al Madhoun.
