The abduction of a head of state and the unprovoked attack on Venezuela are extremely dangerous. This is the most naked form of imperialism, which - if unopposed and unresisted - puts every country and government at the mercy of the US, and any other powerful country that tries to copy it. 1/

"Others will take time in catching up to that." whew
"There’s no question in my mind that I’m Indian. And there’s no question in my mind that I’m a New Yorker. And I’m all of these things, yet in each of these places I’ve been made to feel that it’s not actually my home to call– in Uganda, I’m told this guy is actually Indian, in India, I’m told this guy is actually Muslim, and in New York I’m everything but a New Yorker.

But I’m realizing that it’s not a determination I should be outsourcing to others. It’s something that if I know and feel, then I need to become comfortable in asserting. Others will take time in catching up to that. It also helps to understand that if you’re part of any diaspora you have to live in multiple worlds at once, and have multiple sets of cultural references and histories–so that if you were to describe yourself in one singular term, it doesn’t really capture the different ways in which you think about the world."

On one side you have someone who says "globalize the intifada" [against genocide]. On the other side you have someone doing pro bono work to defend the person with the single most responsibility for that genocide. Obviously, only the former is considered scandalous.
