THANK YOU to everyone who came out last night, and especially the amazing folks at @changinghands! It was a real joy. The shirt is headed back to PDX. I'm honored to be among the fraternity of writers who got to pick one off the wall 🏜️

Hey #Phoenix and #Tempe! Come join me tonight to talk megachurch trauma at @changinghands in Tempe. We'll run the air conditioning in November!! https://t.co/v5oE2lnGE6

Monday, Nov. 3: @ASU English professor @BeelzeBebout launches his new book "Rules for Reactionaries" in conversation with rhetorician Kathleen Lamp @changinghands in Phoenix. All welcome! Info.: https://t.co/BJXFcQmAT3 #ASUHumanities @monumental_obj

“I announced…I’m a journalist, I’m press.” The woman to my left hissed, “We don’t give a fuck,” and the other dug her nails into my scalp and pulled me by my hair across the port.” U.S. allies abducting and torturing American journalists isn’t a problem to this administration.

NEW: Six U.S. press freedom groups — including Defending Rights & Dissent, Freedom of the Press Foundation, and PEN America — have called on Secretary of State Marco Rubio to condemn Israel’s abduction and detention of three American journalists, Alex Colston and Noa Avishag

My AZ favorite bookstore, @changinghands, has this corner with something I have never expected to happen: having to defend the right to write, publish, and read —and therefore, to think. (The election of the colors says a lot.)

A first look at tomorrow's front page of The National 📰 How genocide happened

YES.

Very much looking forward to this one. Pre-order here, Arizona:

“It is clear there is an intent to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza through acts that meet the criteria set forth in the Genocide Convention.” UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry's report shows #Israel has committed #genocide in #Gaza. https://t.co/UGjepPwmwo

What I appreciate about Sally Rooney is that she didn’t play the nonsense game of “are protest slogans just as bad as the bombs??” that a lot of writers and artists decided was the best they could contribute. She writes directly and challenges the evil in front of her.

UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese: “We see millions of people taking to the streets and asking for an end to the genocide, and they’re being beaten and arrested and held on counts of terrorism, while those who are wanted by the ICC for war crimes are being received and

“Netanyahu says” Framing ETHNIC CLEANSING like it’s a kindness. What are you doing @AP?

They’ve slaughtered an unprecedented number of journalists and you’re still trying to justify it. “The Israeli military said” is not journalism.

😡 Arizona’s universal ESA voucher program has catapulted the state into the national spotlight as a cautionary tale. Taxpayer dollars are being siphoned away from public schools to subsidize the now $1 billion voucher program.

So has Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention, a UN Special Committee, the International Criminal Court at The Hague ("plausible genocide"), numerous genocide scholars, and other international bodies.

Award-winning Israeli author David Grossman calls his country's campaign in Gaza "genocide" and says he is using the term with a "broken heart". https://t.co/iGGYAPabaT

The @LemkinInstitute is calling on every leader in the world to step in immediately with measures that ensure food and water gets into Gaza right now. No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits. GET FOOD AND WATER INTO GAZA NOW. IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU

Will anyone with access to power and a shred of decency do anything to stop this? cc: @SenMarkKelly @SenRubenGallego
