One episode that I hope people will listen to now, if they haven't already, is this one from just over a year ago, with @FakhreddineHuda. We discussed Hiba Abu Nada, a Palestinian poet whom Israel killed in the early days of its ongoing genocide in Gaza.

I’m so sad to hear that the poet Ellen Bryant Voigt has died. I knew her only slightly. When her friend Louise Glück died, two years ago, she and I spoke on my podcast about fate, and loss, and poetry. I think about that conversation all the time.

They sent unidentified, masked officers to grab a student off the street, shipped her to a prison over a thousand miles away, and tried to deport her, all because she coauthored an OpEd in a college newspaper

Strongly recommend watching this video. To get out of his DUI, he tries to appeal to racial supremacy ("Are you Haitian?") and then, when that's failed, the humanity of his children. I wonder how many times on the job he's heard "What about my children?"
An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

The western media has no interest in these hostage stories because it doesn’t see Palestinians as human beings. This will forever be a stain on humanity.
❤️🩹“I made this for my daughter, whose birthday was supposed to be in five days,” said a freed Palestinian hostage, clutching a small bracelet he made for her. He had just learned that the Israeli occupation had killed all his children Baraa, 8 years old; Iman, 5; and his

It’s hard to imagine basically any issue in recent history where a political party has been so insanely out of step with what their base wants.
Kirsten Gillibrand (who's in charge of electing more Senate Democrats) insists "9 out of 10 Democrats are pro-Israel." 8% of Democrats support Israel's war on Gaza. 75% oppose sending more military aid to Israel. 63% think the US supports Israel too much. https://t.co/0MzbWdfsjh

Israel murdered a Reuters journalist. In a hospital. As rescue workers tried to recover his body, Israel murdered them. Live on TV. Along with three more journalists. Apparently "it's complicated".
🚨🚨 Camera of @AlGhadTV was live documenting rescue efforts of the 1st strike on Nasser Hospital that killed journalist Hussam AlMasri when the second strike hit rescue workers. Reminder that Israel is ordering medical workers & population to move south, where this compound is
