Palestinian poets library out of a roller bag! Set up on the periphery to offer disability space at sensory distance.
May Day is not just about work, it's also about cops, because cops opening fire and killing striking workers on May 3, 1886, is what the Haymarket rally the next night was in response to, which the state responded to by legally executing four anarchists.
Dear students protesting genocide in Palestine. Please note that the universities are punishing your intelligence. This is a crucial lesson most of us learn again & again. Thank you for your intelligence. 🙏🏾 ❤️
Rafah is being decimated, there is nowhere else left to go. Israel is now bombing more than 1.7 million civilians trapped in Rafah, Gaza's last place of refuge. A massacre is happening in Rafah right now and the world is silent.
An Israeli air strike in Rafah has killed four people, including two children and a woman.
Stanford’s student encampment for a Free Palestine has now set up the Refaat Alareer Memorial Library, named after the poet who wrote “if I must die”. 🇵🇸
Students of Chicago University set up the Refaat Alareer Memorial Library on the campus.
Penn’s Refaat Alareer Memorial Library has grown
We want to introduce you to some young poets in Gaza. Through the genocide, they have not stopped writing. Most have been made homeless. All want to escape. They need all of our help, so we want to tell you about them. 🧵
The only kind of "creative nonfiction" that feels reasonable right now and makes sense to me = journalism + poetry.
Scene from ‘Maaloul Celebrate Its Destruction’ by Michel Khleifi (Palestine, 1985) where a former inhabitant of the depopulated and destroyed town visits decades later and retraces where houses used to be in proximity to the trees he recognises.
Mohammad Malas's documentary, The Dream (filmed in 1981, released in 1987), feat. Palestinians in the Sabra, Shatila, Burj al-Barajneh, and Ain al-Hulweh refugee camps in Lebanon, describing their dreams: t.ly/JHIhY.
Why university divestment matters
A message from @wizardbisan: “Refocus. The goal of the campuses demonstrations is to stop the genocide in Palestine.”

There have now been Palestine solidarity & anti-war student actions on at least 75 U.S. college campuses in the past week
Scene from ‘Maaloul Celebrate Its Destruction’ by Michel Khleifi (Palestine, 1985) where a former inhabitant of the depopulated and destroyed town visits decades later and retraces where houses used to be in proximity to the trees he recognises.
Refaat Alareer Memorial Library in the Northwestern encampment in solidarity with Palestine ❤️
Every campus with a solidarity encampment who's setting up a library and naming it the Refaat Alareer Memorial Library has me in tears. Devastated to learn that his eldest daughter, her husband, and their newborn baby were killed today by the IOF. Each library, an altar & a kite.
From the Gaza solidarity encampment at Arizona State University 🇵🇸 #LandBack
Everything calm down here for now.
‼️🇵🇸BREAKING: Students at Whitman College in Washington State have walked out of class en masse in solidarity with Palestine!
“The page ends, ‘History is dead. the sun is Nothingness. the air is burning forever.’ // This is a peak of despair, I think; the arrows, pushing and pushing, until the repetition of absence, a demand for attention of it, and the condemnation of those opposed to witness.” 🤎 this

EDWARD SAID: Terrorism is now viewed as resistance to globalization. Arundhati Roy made that connection as well...that people's movements of resistance against deprivation, against unemployment, against loss of natural resources, all of that is termed terrorism.
WRITING ON WALLS
A Palestinian writes the names of his family members still trapped under the rubble of his home in Gaza.
Ask poets if you want the news, as the unbrokered journalists:
For those who say "poetry doesn't take a stance," when the poem is there, in stance, and the poet is there, and happens to be standing.
Apparently a lot of academics need to be reminded that ‘neutrality,’ ‘staying out of it,’ ‘it’s complicated,’ ‘both sides are wrong,’ ‘we shouldn’t politicise things,’ etc etc means you’re absolutely taking a side. At least own it.
@brandonshimoda only that today every poet believes themselves to be displaced etc; because "poets" arleady know how to make truth into truism incorporated.
