Just to be clear, this is not another Jason Arday piece. This is a Nathan Cofnas piece. He's a problem, and I think I have a solution: career exile. jeffpropulsion.substack.com/p/the-linger...

"Real freedom of movement means that people count more than borders. People are all equal before the law, but people must be, forever and always, ultimately of greater value than a wrong or repressive law." jeffpropulsion.substack.com/p/let-people...

My latest column: "If rights are supposed to be universal then I can’t think of a more fundamental basic right than freedom from... beyond geography. The freedom to move. The freedom to defy national identity and truly be a fully actualized individual." jeffpropulsion.substack.com/p/let-people...

On activism: "You will always owe them more than they owe you because they have given you a priceless opportunity to fight for justice. Virtue is real, goodness is real... and it is a precious currency that you have been given. Appreciate that, always." jeffpropulsion.substack.com/p/the-disill...

"Ethiopian diaspora activists have to start adopting the tactics of Palestine advocates. Get confrontational. No one ever won their freedom and human rights by asking for them politely." My latest article on Substack. 👇 jeffpropulsion.substack.com/p/time-to-fa...

Here we are all thinking Trump is a pedophile (and he is), but it turns out he's also bi-curious.

My latest article: "The MAGA triumph will be one not only of the Nazi uniform but of the Klan hood. You need only go back 2 generations to the Jim Crow South." And after Somalis, they will be coming for Ethiopians. Not that they can tell the difference. jeffpropulsion.substack.com/p/trumps-goo...

Big Media lies & claims Amhara are Ethiopia's historical villains. So I wrote a novel that makes them into heroes. The West paints migrants as criminals. So I wrote a story that makes a refugee a freedom fighter. Here is the story behind SABESHYA. 👇 jeffpropulsion.substack.com/p/a-nation-t...

SABESHYA will be available in paperback January 5. Enter a world of magic and shapeshifters, flashing blades and palace intrigues. One young man sees the horrors against his persecuted people and raises an army to fight back. Join him. Enter the world of SABESHYA.

"Gaza is far worse and in a different context, but crises like ours barely receive a fraction of the attention and outrage Gaza does. International law is just another myth we’ve created to convince ourselves we’re civilized.” My latest on Substack 👇 jeffpropulsion.substack.com/p/myanmar-st...

It’s not the Florida gulag, or even Trump’s recent claims that poor job numbers were “fixed,” that defy plausibility, it’s public acquiescence and journalistic deference. My latest article on Substack 👇 jeffpropulsion.substack.com/p/reich-tv-r...

He told me the story of how he visited a jail in Addis Ababa. He walked in on a police officer beating a man close to death. “I was shocked,” he tells me. The man’s crime? Simply carrying pro-Fano music. Now the lawyer is considered a criminal. jeffpropulsion.substack.com/p/ethiopian-...

"Don't let that run in your vacation plans?" Are you kidding? Your federal assholes are arresting legal residents and innocent visa renewal applicants and tossing them into foreign prisons, including OUR people. And we're supposed to just ignore all that and go to Disneyland?

Albert Camus writing in a French Resistance newspaper about those who don't want to care about the war or the Nazi occupiers: "There is only one fight, and if you don't join it, your enemy will nevertheless supply you with daily proof that the fight is yours."

We're long overdue to talk about the violent psychopaths known as Brigade Nhamedu and the cynically slanted, positive coverage a terrorism group gets on Western news sites. Read more here: jeffpropulsion.substack.com/p/brigade-nh...

I'd just like to point out to every asshole who sneers at Canada and thinks we're a pushover for "annexation," we look forward to your gov't's incredible dumbassery to help us ultimately win any confrontation.

I find this mildly hilarious. My roommate shared with me this mailed doc from Pfizer because of the tiny amount of stock they own. Note how the Board "recommends against" a vote on golden parachutes or issuing a report on religious discrimination against employees.

Atheists love this stuff and love passing it around, and I am an atheist. But I'm also a witness to perfectly nice Ethiopian Christians getting persecuted in their own land, and Armenian Christians are also getting brutalized. So no, I'm not onboard with this smug thought anymore.

I wholeheartedly agree. I support Ukraine, always have. My problem is I also consider these victims my brothers and sisters and cousins. So should you. They are Amhara. They also have been betrayed. And the world doesn't even KNOW that this is now normal in Ethiopia.

This human skid mark thinks it's clever and funny to threaten people with deportation because he doesn't like their opinions. This is why my country will make life a living hell for Trump's creeps if his government tries to annex Canada.

I'm a writer and I've been a talk show host. This clown whom some fools take for a great intellectual resorts to the kind of crass baiting and insults you expect of Trump's lapdogs. If you got to boast about your reach, you're not as powerful or influential as you think.

For those new to my work and what I'm all about, I'm a Canadian who looks outward. There is no such thing as "Western" civilization. As I wrote in my book, "The West will begin to understand Africa when it realizes it's not talking to a child--it's talking to its mother."

The goal was never to become the gov't; the goal was always to destroy gov't as a functioning institution. This is Fascism 101. CNN has done a great article here but where was it when the hard scrutiny was needed? Well before the election? cnn.com/2024/11/27/b...
