Cities emerging from lockdown increasingly relying even more on gangland social logics as if marking out distance and sticking to one’s kind is the mask that will protect them.

Eid prayer tomorrow could be a massive coordination of movements—thousands of “tourists” crossing the border from Jordan; “holding companies” buying up massive swathes of real estate in key cities—it might be possible to ensure the endurance of al-Aqsa once and for all.

And this is what resistance is: the inventiveness of life to repiece its relations to the world. Specific tactics will outlive their usefulness. So fill your hearts and pages with new tricks. Keep oppressors off balance and be generous with what you know.

Just a reminder to states: even if the U.S. blocks your collective will at the Security Council, you can still pull your ambassadors, suspend trade, and use universal jurisdiction to prosecute Israeli war criminals - soldiers and politicians- on your soil. You have options. #Gaza

In "our" long and turbulent history there have been many sorrows to bear and threats to our endurance, yet Ramadan reminds us that across so many divides and disparities we are all "gathered" in some common purpose, especially now remembering the most vulnerable of us.

There has been a rise in anti-Muslim racism & hate crimes, e.g. 6yr old stabbed to death, 3 college student shot, imams killed, etc. Yet such crimes are under-reported due to post-9/11 institutionalized Islamophobia, surveillance & targeting of Muslims.

If you can, read the award winning teacher Asma Mustafa's inspiring and heart-breaking dispatches from Gaza in Manhajiyat. An incredible account of education on the run (under bombs, during a nakba, within a genocide). I'll try and translate when I can.
