the war is unpopular but it's also illegal but it also doesn't serve any purpose but it also undermines diplomacy but it also is set to produce the opposite outcome as intended but it also already has hundreds dead and threatens more but it also will not make anything better for anyone but it also
Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza.
We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...
One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!
If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.

Red Cup Day is Starbucks’ biggest sales day of the year. Customers across the country line up before dawn for free reusable holiday cups, marking the kickoff of the coffee giant’s most profitable season. This year the event falls on November 13, and Starbucks Workers United, the SEIU-affiliated union, says employees across hundreds of stores in at least 25 cities will strike unless the company “finalizes a labor contract” beforehand (CBS). More than 550 Starbucks stores have unionized since 2021, but negotiations that began in 2024 remain stalled. The union, representing over 9,500 baristas out of roughly 200,000 Starbucks workers in North America, has filed more than 1,000 unfair-labor-practice charges with the NLRB, citing firings, store closures, and bargaining delays. Starbucks denies wrongdoing, claiming it is negotiating “in good faith.” According to Indeed, the average U.S. hourly pay for a Starbucks barista is about $15.75, while Reuters reports the company claims average pay “with benefits” comes to about $30 per hour.
Starbucks Workers United @SBWorkersUnited BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless $SBUX finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting. If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on Nov 13– the company's busiest day of the year.

Aaaah!! Happy pub day Amber!! I've been waiting for this one!
“We have seen pigeons fall from the sky, shot down by drones. My nephews & nieces cried over them as if they had lost loved ones.” In Gaza, survival means union—even across species. We're bombed together, starved together, displaced together. We do not abandon each other, says Hend Salama Abo Helow.

This is a perilous moment for democracy in the United States, but I couldn’t be prouder of the Knight Institute’s work right now, and I don’t take for granted that we have the freedom and resources to do it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
As several Western nations announce their recognition of a Palestinian state ahead of an upcoming UN General Assembly vote, Israel is accelerating its illegal annexation measures of the occupied West Bank to render a Palestinian state impossible.

It would be really interesting to know if there's a relationship between the toga and the sari, since I think there was fabric traded to Rome from South Asia.

Gapinski takes a blade to the seams of ordinary lives to reveal the uncanny nature of the storm that roils beneath the surface for us all. Dead brothers, haunted fingernails, injuries that produce vines, lonely dinosaurs, a magical laundromat, and so much more, spill forth from Gapinski’s singular imagination and ask us to confront our grief, our vulnerability, our identity and our leaps into love." —Talia Lakshmi Kolluri, author of What We Fed To The Manticore.

I was just telling my girlfriend the other day that the old world is dying. And, my stars, the new world is struggling to be born. And now is the time when you meet such INNNNteresting monsters.

Agents amass in DC, unclear why or which agency. Some masked.
Residents: “You’re in a church parking lot—get out!”
“We don’t want you kidnapping our neighbors!”
Agents start recording too.
Soon decide to leave, some mockingly wave their phones. They zoom down the 25mph road, skimming by our feet.
Between a "No Other Land" crew mate filming himself being killed by a settler, to a journalist being killed by airstrikes he was covering minutes earlier, I'm not sure how much more televised Israel's genocide can be
