If you don’t get triggered by abuse, my short story Bread and Rainbow skin is the perfect story. It’s grim beginning slowly transforms into a story of hope that will leave you believing in the goodness of others. #shortstory #fiction #authorsky #Writesky open.substack.com/pub/aseelaye...

Bernie Sanders spent decades doing the right thing, only to go from aspirational to disappointing in the last couple of years.

The funny thing about the Louvre theft is; Much more valuable artifacts have been stolen from Egyptian museums and smuggled abroad, multiple times this year, yet it didn’t hit Western newspapers. #Louvretheft

Charlie Kirk died but his hateful rhetoric didn’t die with him. The institutional protection for his harmful ideology didn’t die with him. The problems plaguing America that made his rise possible didn’t die with him. #CharlieKirk #MAGA #Politicalviolence open.substack.com/pub/aseelaye...

The grown ups whining about how they can’t cancel Disney because their kids like it and they can’t be bothered to find substitutes are raising individualistic spoiled brats who will sit back and do nothing as the world burns down. #JimmyKimmel #Disney #Boycott

Rights aren’t taken in one swoop, but in small increments. We lost a lot before Kimmel’s firing. The attack on the Palestinian encampments was a test, if we would stand up for our first amendment or not, but many decided to be racists and failed. Firing Jimmy Kimmel is follow up. #JimmyKimmel

Why isn’t hunger, illness, homelessness, poverty, and xenophobia considered political violence? Why are we expected to act like this suffering isn’t inherently violent? open.substack.com/pub/aseelaye...

Marco Rubio is calling Palestinians barbaric animals. For context, every single democrat voted in approval of him. Democrats’ complacency and inaction are the reason Trump has gained this much power. #fascism #marcorubio #democrats

The Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel firing should serve as a reminder that corporations will never have the back of artists. They will get rid of us the moment they can get a pretty penny off our firing. #JimmyKimmel #CharlieKirk #StephenColbert

More Palestinians have been killed by the IDF at the Israeli-run aid distribution check points than the ones who were killed on Oct-7th. The former is ignored while the latter has been used to justify a genocide. #palestine #genocide
