Something that feels important to name regarding the Cornell case is that rape is a form of political violence. Most of my clients have experienced sexual assault and each time a major news story like this makes the rounds, they are immediately thrown back into the worst moments of their lives

In a sick, violent way, they have more faith in the possibility of a new world than a lot of people on the other side. They are willing to reimagine all of it. Many of us cannot imagine getting rid of payday loans and they’re like eff it, let’s see if the Pope’s still got the juice.

Hey if you're a young adult in the US pay very close attention to the moment because in shockingly few years the popular account of who did or said or supported what right now will be at times unrecognizable. Don't let that break your brain or just you, as a person.

This is a sick civilization. An open call to genocide. It is clear that Gaza is how we got here- tolerating genocide in one space begets another. Generations of our ancestors have worked to build something different, toward the preservation of earthly life. I hope I live to see this re-orientation.

sometimes I feel like such a flop I wonder how I will ever make it all happen... and yet in flopping I affirm the gift of life... I flop because I am not yet done....

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

I said something last week that is more broadly applicable today: Calling for empathy is not neutral or apolitical when only one group of people have been socialized and brutalized into having empathy.

i like how in the current popular framing women's loneliness/desire for connection is not a topic of concern because there's no accompanying threat of violence

A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it. (1/2)

After the Tree of Life massacre we went to shul and as we lined up to go through the metal detectors a huge crowd of Muslim folks stood outside with signs chanting their love and support for us. It was one of the most moving things I’ve ever seen and it’s a testament both these NYC communities.

This is still one of the best ways to limit deportations. Stop collaborations between ICE, local police departments, sheriffs, and county jails.

It’s weird to presume this administration will follow the legal rules around invoking the insurrection act. They don’t need to “provoke violence” if they can define any act of collective resistance as “a riot.” Their immigration “policy” is based on a lie. Why wouldn’t invoking the IR be the same?
