Medical institutions are silencing and even punishing staff for speaking up about Palestine, but health care workers told me doing so is their job: "Our basic oath is to protect life, and it’s not restricted to a certain geographic area [or] a certain population."

Everything Donald Trump is doing to Americans and in America was pioneered by Dick Cheney on foreigners and abroad. He threw the imperial boomerang
Neo-conservativism presaged Trumpian neo-fascism in several respects. It saw violence as a positive policy option not a defensive last resort. It held laws, norms and the lives of non-white people in total contempt. And many, many centrists either cringed in deference to it or actively collaborated.

Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

To be asked to write about racism only to be racially aggressed in the editing process is a new level unlocked I have to say.
