Y'all are so messy for not only tweeting out this article but threading it? Please.

I, too, am deeply in suspense about whether an organization like PEN America, with a budget of $24 million, $45 million in assets, and a CEO paid over $400,000, will "survive." So troubling that people want to hold an org dedicated to "free speech" accountable for its actions.
If you, like me, are disgusted with @PENamerica's "leadership," here's an alternate PEN for you.

It took a while, but the hysteria over campus protests finally led to journalists talking to the protesters (rather than caricaturing them)

PEN is an international organisation with many chapters, of which PEN America is just one. Each chapter has to sign up to the principles of the PEN charter. Within that limit, members decide policy. A change in administration of one PEN club is by no means the ‘end of PEN’

Thank you to Syrian American journalist and kidlit author, Rhonda Roumani, for compiling this list of 18 Adult Books for Arab American Heritage Month! If you're looking for more adult books that share Arab culture, check out this 🧵 of Rhonda's recommendations!
@omarelakkad @rabihalameddine @itsdeenasaur @LailaLalami @hishamjmatar @guszeineddine 📖 Arab American Fiction: ▪︎ Evil Eye by @EtafRum ▪︎ Between Two Moons by Aisha Abdel Gawad ▪︎ Behind You Is the Sea by @SusanDarraj ▪︎ The Skin and Its Girl by Sarah Cypher ▪︎ The Other Americans by @LailaLalami
I didn't hear it that way. I heard her trying to clarify, while being manhandled, that she was not actually trespassing. She'd been trying to help a student moments earlier. I'd rather focus on the profs who are being silent or, worse, supporting their administrations' actions.

Thanks again to Shore Lit for inviting me to beautiful Easton MD to speak about Behind You Is the Sea 🌊, the writing process, and my Palestinian heritage. #arabamericanheritagemonth
Shoutout to every freedom supporter in US universities. #Gaza needs your screams to be loud and persistent. We are counting on you to be our voice when we’re silenced.
The premise that @PENamerica cannot survive dissent from writers is insane. @PENamerica has thrived on dissent for a century. @PENamerica is something other than its awful current leadership, who are showing everyone who they are with every statement.

Great news, @maysoonzayid !!!!!
Some outstanding letters of protest here from NYU (@nyuniversity) faculty to the President and Provost, but the below from @ProfStevenHahn is pure 🔥 🔥 🔥 : facultyforpalestine.education/statements/fac…
The Palestinian Ministry of Education cancelled the entire academic year. Nobody said a word. PEN America, after being critiqued by the writing community, cancels a festival, and now folks are annoyed. We are not impressed by your selective outrage.
Notable that the concept of “anti-Palestinian racism” has never entered the American political lexicon. Amid all the concern about Israeli brutality inciting antisemitism, no one stops to wonder about the ideology that makes Palestinian suffering so acceptable.
Proud to be a Quaker.
I just drove by a retirement community in Baltimore. Residents are gathered outside wearing keffiyehs, waving Palestinian flags. Not a huge crowd but out of frame they stretch the block. Heartwarming!

@livesinpages It’s very calling my bestie on three-way
Y'all are so messy for not only tweeting out this article but threading it? Please.
🧵"Can an organization that sees itself as above politics, that sees itself straightforwardly as a support system for an open society, be allowed to exist anymore?" asks @galbeckerman in @TheAtlantic theatlantic.com/books/archive/…
I, too, am deeply in suspense about whether an organization like PEN America, with a budget of $24 million, $45 million in assets, and a CEO paid over $400,000, will "survive." So troubling that people want to hold an org dedicated to "free speech" accountable for its actions.
If you, like me, are disgusted with @PENamerica's "leadership," here's an alternate PEN for you.

Personally if I’m getting body slammed on my college campus by cops I’m going to yell out “I am alienated from my labor and my fellow man and condemn the goons of capital” but not everyone is on my level.
It took a while, but the hysteria over campus protests finally led to journalists talking to the protesters (rather than caricaturing them)
Here’s an interview with a Columbia protester named Ava where she talks about why she’s there, anti-Semitism, and the historical echoes of this movement.
Headed to a residency where I will be doing some much needed heart and head work. Gotta attend to those other voices. See y’all on the other side! 👋🏽✌🏽
@alanalentin Yeah I really don’t think it’s helpful to be having a go at her - it’s purity politics When she is there in the context of supporting her students it seems reasonable when she is paid to work at that campus that she points it out & also for optics reasons I’ve seen so many
@alanalentin But also, we want allies to use their privilege as a shield - I think this is what she was trying to do, she was angry about the violence against the student and trying to stop it… that was a great thing!
@alanalentin If I was violently arrested - in her circs - I'd be saying similar to make it clear that I'm a) not trespassing, and b) have economic and social privileges that I'm unafraid to wield. Doubt it would impact outcome, but it may be important for both optics and legality of arrest.
@alanalentin Surely in her position even if one already KNEW it would be no shield one would shout out the fact anyway (given trespass charges, the fact it’s going to be filmed & shared online, etc?).
Today’s poetry study: Song for Many Movements by Audre Lorde "Our labor has become more important than our silence."
A Song for Many Movements by Audre Lorde "Our labor has become more important than our silence." — contemplating this portal of many destinations, what it means to be in service of life and liberation, and of the labor itself. What of our work and what new world does it build?
PEN is an international organisation with many chapters, of which PEN America is just one. Each chapter has to sign up to the principles of the PEN charter. Within that limit, members decide policy. A change in administration of one PEN club is by no means the ‘end of PEN’
"Does it really make sense to jettison such an entity without first thinking through what its absence would mean, what a world without PEN, without a defense of expression, whatever form it might take, would actually look like?" (10/10)
Same
I didn't hear it that way. I heard her trying to clarify, while being manhandled, that she was not actually trespassing. She'd been trying to help a student moments earlier. I'd rather focus on the profs who are being silent or, worse, supporting their administrations' actions.

I want to offer this as resistance escalates on college campuses. as a former activist & organizer, as someone who has been ringing the alarm since pre-2020 about the rise of fa*cism, I implore those of us who work with students to consider the following as we fight back. 1/n
