In reality, the effervescence and the revolutionary spirit have been kept alive by the women in the home. For revolutionary war is not the war of men. - Frantz Fanon; A Dying Colonialism

Absolute bombshell report on the rampant anti-Muslim, anti-Arab, and anti-Palestinian discrimination at @UofT. There is an entire section on the Faculty of Medicine @uoftmedicine. The report captures a small fraction of the stories of UofT staff, students, and faculty who have experienced racism, targeting, procedural unfairness, and professional and educational repercussions. In what I believe is an unprecedented move, UofT has rejected the report and its recommendations. It is interesting whose feelings appear to matter and whose lives seem to have lesser value. Read the full report here: people.utoronto.ca/wp-conten…

This is like pushing someone off a cliff and saying: “I don’t control gravity”
Contrary to popular belief, Israel does not control the weather.

They were literally singing his name in the style of a wedding salute. You should take Laura Loomer’s advice and start learning Arabic.
NOW: Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed’s victory speech takes an unexpected turn as he’s interrupted by his own supporters in Washington, D.C. The moment briefly shifts attention away from El-Sayed as he addresses the crowd following his election victory and prepares to make history as the nation’s first Muslim U.S. senator. Download the Fox News app or go to Foxnews.com for more.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is not Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed's victory speech (delivered in Detroit on Nov. 4); the clip shows him at the Arab America Empowerment Summit in Chantilly, VA, on Nov. 6 ahead of a concert, with the audience celebrating. arabamerica.com/weve-arrived-c… cbsnews.com/detroit/news/e… foxnews.com/video/64080482…

If I ever get murdered by the state, and you put an "I voted" sticker on my memorial, just know that I will go out of my way to haunt you.

What really stands out to me about Ta-Nahisi Coates is that he's not a radical. He just takes liberalism's self-professed ideals about liberty & democracy seriously & as a result won't accept the ugly contradictions at the heart of Western liberal-capitalism in action

People need to stop looking at lines like this and thinking wow this is so awesome so many people are voting and start seeing these insanely long lines as what they are- a form of voter suppression.
Early voting lines at the Montgomery County Board of Elections are an estimated 3 hour wait time as of 3 pm today.

I first heard ‘Sweet Liberty’ or ‘The Prayer of Sheil’ sung a cappella by Ian Lynch of Lankum, and was fascinated by it. These words were written 200 years ago by Irish weaver and songwriter John Sheil and its attitude toward global solidarity in the face of oppression still resonates deeply today. It felt an appropriate song to share on Monday night. Thank you to the wonderful @Meredi__ for arranging this song for strings and thank you again to @macklemore for putting together such an important evening. 🎥 @raykeoghmedia

This photo was taken 26 years ago today, 14-year-old Faris Odeh throwing a stone at an Israeli tank in Gaza. Ten days later, he was shot in the neck by an Israeli soldier and left to bleed to death.
