On September 21, we began a 10-week online hiatus that ends today.  Our stated goal was to step back and deeply analyze our engagement with our movements’ most powerful medium - social media.  We all felt that something was...off. And, if we’re being totally honest, we were tired.  After three years of feeding the news, we found it nearly impossible for our feet to keep up with our mouths and thumbs.  And, we weren’t well.

The Palestinian people have been resisting the colonization of our homeland for almost 7 decades now, and the dream of freedom, human rights, and justice is still in sight. The colonizing force, state Zionism, will hold no punches as it seeks to obliterate the very foundation of Palestinian life, culture and history. The people of Palestine have despite it all shown to have a truly indomitable Palestinian spirit and continue to resist both in Palestine and abroad. 

"History is always in the making; while women of color and Indigenous peoples remain wordless in the official record. The very act of writing then, conjuring/coming to ‘see’ what has yet to be recorded in history is to bring into consciousness what only the body knows to be true."
