Seems that the pumping stations failed due to power outage and its cost prohibitive to have generators on site because "this doesn't happen often enough to justify the cost" reminding us this is a failure of power infrastructure AND water infrastructure in the #detroitflood

Both @kurd_muna & @m7mdkurd have been released from detention and are home. Israel will continue to target and harass them for the sake of removing them front their home. It is our duty to protect them and end US support for Apartheid Israel.

today I'm somewhere between "don't get fooled by the eye of storm," and "let the people rest and celebrate the tremendous mobilizing and solidarity that contributed to Trump's loss." it's messy and nuanced, which is what our strategy needs to be particularly now.

I resent the idea that conversations about ethics must be divorced from conversations about aesthetics.
It’s ethics and aesthetics. It’s imagination, wonder, and material conditions for me.
#throughthenight film’s editing approach by @DJLaylo and @malikazw reminds me of Audre Lorde’s essay, Poetry is Not a Luxury 🤯🤯
