It's scary to talk about spiritual visions. Who has visions these days? But this isn't the first vision I've had in my life.

Quaker Tent Solidarity
This vision of the tent is about the Palestinian children and their families who are forced to live in makeshift tents because their homes have been destroyed by Israeli bombardment, or demolished by Israeli bulldozers. The United States continues to be deeply complicit in the genocide because of military aid and weapons sent to Israel.
Israel’s Bombs Rained Down at 2 am
We are outraged at Israel's continued impunity. Last night, Israel killed more than 400 Palestinians in a massacre intended to destroy the ceasefire for good. VisualizingPalestine
BREAKING: DHS enters Columbia dorms
Columbia University has long been the laboratory testing government repression against the pro-Palestinian movement. The most recent was the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil. Yesterday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents entered non-public areas at Columbia to search two student rooms.

Visualizing Peace
Yesterday I took photos at the University of Wisconsin related to the disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil. That word was also used during the gathering. For a long time, no one know where he had been taken. To disappear is the opposite of visualize. Which is utterly symbolic of authoritarianism, which is obviously on the rise here. Authoritarian efforts must stamp out dissent, and this has been the focus of the current administration.
Temporary Memorial for the Children of Gaza
I am very moved by the "Temporary Memorial for the Children of Gaza" by Behn Samareh in Bombay Beach in California, where he created a temporary memorial by drilling a hole for every child killed in the war, symbolizing the immense loss.
Stop Famine in Gaza
One thing that hasn't changed is the humanitarian crisis there. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) that has been the backbone of the provision of humanitarian aid has been the target of false claims and political attacks aimed at defunding the agency. You can use the tool described below to send a message about the need for humanitarian relief in Gaza, and supporting the work of the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) to you Congressional representatives.
Using AI to repress dissent
An excellent article yesterday in AXIOS, written by Marc Caputo, explains how the Trump administration is using AI to find 'resident aliens' who have participated in pro-Palestinian activities in order to deport them.
‘No Other Land’ devastation continues
NOW, 2 days after No Other Land was nominated for an Oscar, settlers are invading my community, Masafer Yatta, burning and breaking homes. I'm honored for the nom but we're being erased while Trump lifted US settler sanctions. Do people in Hollywood care? Please don't be silent. Basel Adra #SaveMasaferYatta“
