Bombing an elementary school to take attention away from the Epstein Files
I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children.
From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.
The artwork at the heart of the pavilion promises to continue the project of denying Palestinian existence.
'This is the danger of the liberal Zionist position. It offers the language of conscience and dialogue while absolving itself of engagement or responsibility.'

❝ This is a day of humiliation for those who facilitated Israel’s genocide in Gaza – and a moment of vindication for those who stood against “the crime of crimes” ❞ — @owenjones.bsky.social
I love Arundhati Roy's courage, integrity, intelligence, and her artistry as a writer of fiction & nonfiction.
Wim Wenders, the jury chair, on being questioned about Gaza, said filmmakers have to stay out of politics. Roy said a genocide demands a response from everyone, artists included. I agree.

Text on a grey background reads: in Conversation with Vicki Bertram Poetry, to me, is the opposite of power, it doesn't make you powerful. That's the other thing I've heard people say, 'I started to write because I wanted to have power because I didn't have any.' For me, that doesn't make any sense, because poetry makes one vulnerable. That's what poetry did to me anyway, it rendered me utterly vulnerable. Lorna Goodison, PNR
