i simply watched an old acquaintance's insta story where he desperately screamed at people to vote for cuomo and save nyc from communism and then noticed he blocked me 😂😂😂 good to know it's not just boomers who are scared.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:
thehandbasket.co
ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.
Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

🚨IF YOU HAVE READ & ENJOYED Husam Maarouf's work on ArabLit (or elsewhere), please support this campaign. chuffed.org/project/1492... 🧵 of Husam's work follows.

Help support Husam Maarouf, a Palestinian poet, novelist, editor, and pubisher from Gaza, whose life and work are at grave risk. Husam is currently applying to the PAUSE Program in France, which provides urgent assistance to scholars and artists in exile. The program offers safety and the chance to continue creative work in collaboration with French institutions. A French university has already agreed to act as his host, offering the framework Husam needs to begin his residency. To make this possible, we need to raise €42,000. This sum will cover costs not fully financed by PAUSE and secure Husam and his family’s life in France for one year. It will make it possible to cover administrative procedures and visa fees, the relocation from Gaza to Paris including evacuation costs, as well as housing and daily living expenses for the first year.
