But, it looks like ‘48 just set off another round of explosions in Lebanon — killing and injuring more people. This is what we’re paying for and endorsing.

Just as it is a mistake to think that non-immigrant Black folks just started having anti-immigrant sentiments.

If I didn’t talk to a lot of different Black people I would be shocked about what Davis said about Black women and Harris. It is a mistake for organizers to overlook or be condescending about how many Black women are excited about Harris.

You can still disagree after you read a thing or learn more. At least it’s grounded. What happens if you don’t? What is missed? Again, I’m talking amongst *us*.

It’s also the frame shaped by and defined by imperial/colonial actors. I know other people have thought about this more clearly than I have.

I don’t think “terrorism” the right way to describe what ‘48 just did in Lebanon to everyday people. That frame seems ill-fitting and misleading. That was an act (within a decades long campaign) to escalate genocide, colonialism, regional, and international war.

People have been killed off of conflict that could’ve been resolved if they spoke to one another. So, when people don’t even bother to read an article before they start dragging Davis (or anyone) I feel grabbed.

Most of my biggest mistakes in organizing alongside others happened when I didn’t bother to ask questions first before reaching conclusions and reacting. It’s something I’ve been working to do differently in the last 6 years or so.

This isn’t a direct quote. Folks should read the article. What Cabral said about ‘No investigation, no right to speak’ would serve so many of us well.
