I am teaching at Macondo: a homeland for writers. The brainchild of the great Sandra Cisneros- here receiving a plaque from San Antonio’s lesbian mayor Gina Ortiz Jones. Behind them the great scholar and translator Norma Cantù. Soon NYC will also have a good looking mayor.

It seems to me that ending the intentional starvation and mass killings of Palestinians is more important than existential musings about Jewish “pain” and futures. Is this disconnect a strategy or a pathology?

All of us in America are financially supporting this Israeli created mass deliberate starvation and massacre in Gaza. This is our crime.---just making record here, again.

I hope faculty who are removing race, gender, and other targeted topics off their syllabi understand that: 1) cowardice will not save you, and 2) you are increasing the scrutiny on your colleagues who cannot or will not abandon these research areas. Have some damn solidarity.

Day 652. The @nytimes describing Israel’s systematic destruction & of Palestinian ppl as abstractly as possible so you don’t protest the US provision of weapons, so u don’t name the racist journos. Just “dozens killed” from some natural disaster. Racism is a human invention #Gaza

The inhumanity being shown in Gaza is unreal. An entire population being systemically starved by Israel and all of its racist allies. OPEN THE BORDERS. Egypt should have opened the borders a long time ago.

I just checked all of the major news sites and not a single one has a story about the starvation of the entire population of Gaza, which is at a crisis point. Palestinians are dehumanized every single day and their suffering inflicted by Israel erased and normalized.

Conditions in Gaza are beyond disastrous, beyond catastrophic, beyond horrendous, beyond words. May the pain & fear in the eyes of forcibly starved & displaced children & families who have barely survived the genocide haunt all those who are actively committing these atrocities…

Israel is butchering 100 Palestinians a day and western media doesn’t think it’s newsworthy

Every day our tax money goes to Israel to starve and murder people in Gaza- our media doesn’t cover it accurately, if at all. If you let this absence determine what you think is important, then you are missing what is actually happening and become part of the distraction.

Israel has killed 50 Palestinians in the #Gaza Strip since this morning, and the day isn’t over yet

Have we ever seen this level of cowardice in our lifetime? We’re watching people starve in 4k, for fucks sake. BREAK THIS FUCKING SIEGE

Is saving 10 hostages the only part of the deal that matters? The 100 people Israel kills every single day don’t seem to count. The children burned alive in tents or dying of malnutrition are treated as if they don’t exist. The suffering and death of all of us in Gaza, in…

In April we declined an offer of $60,000 to license a song of ours to an Airbnb commercial. Airbnb continues to make money from stolen Palestinian land and contributes to the housing crisis worldwide. We do not wish to promote or profit from this. Free Palestine. Eat the Rich.

Dr. Saed Al-Fayoumi was killed this afternoon in an Israeli airstrike on a mourning house in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip. At least three more civilians were killed in the attack.

TODAY IS JULY 12, 2025. ISRAEL MURDERED 145 PEOPLE IN GAZA SINCE THE EARLY HOURS OF THE MORNING. ONE HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE.

During the Vietnam war, protesters took over buildings and fought back against violent police. Everyone wants you to forget history as new draconian measures are put in place

Israel killed 74 Palestinians in Gaza since the start of the day, including 15 women and children who were standing in line for nutritional aid in my hometown.

The number of martyred journalists has risen to 229 after announcing the martyrdom of journalist Ahmed Salama Abu Aisha.
