This long interview with Tareq Baconi turned out fantastic – vital context to making sense of the changing face of Palestinian resistance over the last few decades thedigradio.com/podcast/hama...

The struggle is to see what's occurring in Gaza as a truly singular catastrophe *and* as a diagram of what's to come, of a future of increasingly securitized/militarized states and increasingly dispossessed/displaced peoples. Everything depends on siding with the latter.

Mahmoud Darwish, Memory for Forgetfulness: August, Beirut, 1982 (Trans. Ibrahim Muhawi)

Three o’clock. Daybreak riding on fire. A nightmare coming from the sea. Roosters made of metal. Smoke. Metal preparing a feast for metal the master, and a dawn that flares up in all the senses before it breaks. A roaring that chases me out of bed and throws me into this narrow hallway. I want nothing, and I hope for nothing. I can’t direct my limbs in
this pandemonium. No time for caution, and no time for time. If I only knew—if I knew how to organize the crush of this death that keeps pouring forth. If only I knew how to liberate the screams held back in a body that no longer feels like mine from the sheer effort spent to save itself in this uninterrupted chaos of shells. “Enough!” “Enough!” I whisper, to find out if I can still do anything that will guide me to myself and point to the abyss opening in six directions. I can’t surrender to this fate, and I can’t resist it. Steel that howls, only to have other steel bark back. The fever of metal is the song of this dawn.

The flooding is quite a scene in New York. Shoutout to some building captains in the Crown Heights Tenant Union for throwing together this great resource on emergency flood response in a pinch: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

A great piece on the strike? Definitely. But also the best damn thing you can read on the (partial, uneven, and still just getting started) political recomposition of the labor movement that's underway today @gabrielwinant.bsky.socialwww.nybooks.com/online/2023/...
