The urban majorities have scraped and improvised their endurance however meagre through disattention and repression for centuries—something which coddled kleptocrats haven’t a clue. These obdurate practical imaginations from Oakland to Imbaba to Tanah Tinggi are vibrant and weary grammars for now.

Is there any conceivable force capable of warding off the extermination or total expulsion of Palestinians. Can one even imagine a rickety defence issued by the Saudis? A tipping point is near and relentlessness in raising this spectre in every occasion is necessary.Palestinian life is our life.

Enslaved people planned rebellions between #Christmas and #NewYear. Two examples: the Aponte Rebellion in #Cuba in 1812 and the Christmas Rebellion – or Baptist War in 1832 in #Jamaica. More in my The Conversation US article #slaveryarchive theconversation.com/for-enslaved...
For enslaved people, the holiday season was a time for revelry – and a brief window to fight back
Whether it was spent feasting or plotting escapes, the week between Christmas and the new year offered a rare opportunity for enslaved men, women and children to reclaim their humanity.
