As Amy Littlefield notes in The Nation, we should organize, not marry, the rich. As a member of the National Writers Union union, I believe my fellow writers should be paid a living wage. Even if I had the willpower or the looks to marry rich, I wouldn't do it. thenation.com/article/econom…

I talked to the Columbia Spectator about declining the Grace Lee Boggs Lecture and about threats to academic freedom from the US to Palestine.

Germany 2024: Officials are banning people to speak Irish near a government building. Is their attempt to echo the heydays of British imperialism. 🤷🏾‍♀️

When I was a student at Columbia University, this was the first time I used the word comrade with my full chest. Organizing with lifelong friends who I could trust warmed my little Marxist heart when leftist politics was mocked by a layer of white bourgeois academics.

As an alum of Columbia University, I have so much respect for the students who continue to exercise moral clarity with their solidarity for Palestine.

Shame on the administration for using police force to quell their anti war dissent.

When i wrote this The Intercept column on the weaponization and warping of 'safety' for conservative & anti-Palestine aims on campus, i didn't imagine how grimly far it could go. theintercept.com/2024/03/28/saf… calling in mass of cops against protestors camping on their own campus

Mohammed El-Kurd is a poet, a truth-teller, an intellectual, and a beautiful writer. As the The Nation’s Palestinian correspondent he has brought clarity and light to the Palestinian experience. Thrust as a young child into the spotlight, he has flowered into something amazing.

On Saturday, I hosted a gathering outside my flat in Berlin where I read an excerpt from my forthcoming book. Because of the state repression of pro-Palestine activism in Germany, I am finding how essential it is to convene from a basis of compassionate & principled creativity.
