New from @Graham_Bowley @talasafie and I: To document the destruction of cultural heritage in Gaza since the start of Israel’s assault, we followed the history of Gaza’s Great Omari mosque, destroyed by an IDF airstrike on December 4.

Gaza’s Historic Heart, Now in Ruins (Gift Article)

The Great Omari Mosque, built on an ancient holy site, is one of the many treasured landmarks damaged in Israel’s military offensive.

“If our level of inquiry about Abu Ghraib ... is confined to the savageries committed within its walls while we overlook the savagery of its walls—the materialization or concretion of the processes of capture—we have failed to acknowledge ... the entire militarized arrangement.”

glad i went to the ny climate strike today, a crowd is always galvanizing BUT for most it wasn’t a strike, more a sanctioned afternoon off and felt like an over-produced music festival. thus it diffused any show-of-power logic of protest into a feel good liberal circus.

"A riot can’t resurrect the dead, but it can resurrect the dead spaces of cities, animate the streets—“Our streets!” as the chant goes[...]The physical sensation of taking a street stays even after the street is reconquered by everyday traffic." @nanpansky
