BREAKING: Bay Area residents have taken over the Israeli Consulate in San Francisco to condemn the ongoing genocide in Palestine, responding to the international call for solidarity from Gaza.

They did not mean to kill the children.
They meant to.
Too many kids got in the way
of precisely imprecise
one-ton bombs
dropped a thousand and one times
over the childrenβs nights.

βnot feeling welcome on campus at elite universityβ vs the bodies of children executed with their hands tied behind their backs being carried around in bulldozers feels like a very insane conversation to be having. i wonβt be having it

Is the propaganda cool? Is it working?
Did you enjoy empire's little calorie-free morsels?
Did feeling nothing make you feel better?

Sentimentality, the parading of excessive & spurious emotion, is the mark of dishonesty. The wet eyes of the sentimentalist betray aversion to experience, fear of life, an arid heart; & it is always, therefore, the signal of secret & violent inhumanityβof cruelty

the guernica masthead continues to shrink. they have one reader left, not a single poetry, fiction, or copy editor. itβs sad to see a literary institution fall apart but itβs more sad (and shameful) to see a magazine publish hate.

My fiction team collectively and unanimously resigned from Guernica today. I'm proud of them, and the work we did over the last two years - six editors and nine readers, volunteering and collaborating with great writers to publish weird, beautiful stories. I'll miss it.

A lot of settlers are on here defending that Guernica essay by letting us know they thought the propaganda was good, was very moving actually, they liked it, the propaganda worked on them.

This is the essay I pulled from Guernica; thank you @newinquiry

In solidarity with members of the editorial & pub teams, I have also decided to resign from my position as a publishing assistant at Guernica. It has unfortunately become clear that during a genocide, the mag is failing to take a stand for what it claims to stand for.
