When I joined twitter years ago I wrote about Proust. How he said we use too many words and twitter seemed like an antidote to that. I wrote about funny things that happened, clever things people said, books, my writing. Then the world fell apart and here we are Free Palestine.

BREAKING: A national group of US students are compiling a Serbia-style list of politicians who have been complicit in covering up the Epstein Files, egregious stock trading, and ICE's violations of constitutional rights so Millennials and Gen Z can vote them all out in 2028.
People on my feed are complaining about a roommate using their cooking oil or having to tip for counter service, meanwhile @cbonneauimages is posting from Lebanan, as Israel continues to bomb, and I have to search for her posts.
Why is my feed full of personal complaints which seem more like a conversation you'd have at dinner with your spouse than something you'd put out in the world?
The 1st time I wrote an introduction to my Substack page, I wrote as if it were an assignment that I had to get right, when the best thing about Substack is you get to say what you want. To write without worrying. That is the trick.

I’ve gotten such kind messages from friends overseas. Maybe the world will forgive us for the past 4 years. What monsters we became.
Nope. Not Jeffries.
Sorry, but as a Black man who understands our responsibility as descendants of enslaved Africans in America
I must RIGOROUSLY and FEVERISHLY OPPOSE a Black Zionist being elevated to Speaker of the House
We simply cannot afford a Black person with that much power supporting Genocide directly or tacitly
the SOUL OF BLACK FOLK is on the line and we are being weighed against the Arc of the Moral Universe.
No on Hakeem Jeffries.

Terrifying rumors are swirling about Israel pressuring Trump to launch a nuclear strike on Iran immediately after the midterms or some other major escalation. I wish I was sure that this was too unhinged to take seriously, but we do not live in sane times where these kinds of dismissals are possible. Instead, we live amidst the rise of end times fascism, where dangerous accelerationists hold enormous sway in both the Israeli and U.S. governments.
The hardcore religious end timers have partnered with criminals like Trump, Netanyahu, and several tech oligarchs whose only path to avoiding legal accountability for their many crimes is dramatic (and distracting) escalation. I desperately hope the rumors are exaggerated, but we need to be ready in case they are not.
That's why we are releasing this video today on the eve of the U.S. midterms. We can defeat these maniacs, but only if we know what we are up against.

Every one of my Spanish friends believes that Israel caused the train crash so the far right will win the elections.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The train crash was not caused by an Israeli conspiracy. It was caused by Spanish controllers allowing a train to move into an occupied section of track.

The Government™ has made an ad about the protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.🌍🌎🌏

There is no food in Gaza, no shelter in Gaza. There is no water in Gaza, no cease fire in Gaza. No medicine in Gaza. And the world's leaders are doing nothing. The West Bank is in lockdown. And the world governments are debating 'antisemitism'. Help me understand.
