I’m new to your work and am not politically inclined. Duel citizen (Canadian and American) raising young kids in PA bucks county (very political and polar).

This was interesting and informative. Thanks for spending the time and energy on it!

Wondering if you have any big concept articles on politics right now? Writing which may be helpful to bring the current situation into context and guide well-oriented perspective on how to interpret the inevitable craziness of election year.

Finally, bonus if you have any reading suggestions for kids to help them gain a healthy skepticism without totally breaking their belief in the power of change through political action.

Ok that was a lot. 😅 Really anything along these lines would be appreciated.

Thanks again!

Tareq Baconi (in many publications) is excellent for history and analysis on Palestine. His book, Hamas Contained, has both useful detail and big picture clarity

For more context on te US border, Daniel Denvir wrote All American Nativism. His podcast The Dig is incredibly informative on many political topics, also including palestine

The same high tech servielence systems that Israelis created to spy and kill Palestinians will now be used on our border to do the same to our neighbors to the south seeking asylum from our sanctions and political whims we impose from their nation of origin. Hell Trump wants to invade Mexico using the same play book fasict- apartheid state of Isreal is using. Maybe we should remove the statue of liberty *its so old school*

Hell better yet have the navy seals special ops ghost it. The public is dumb enough to buy into "the Russians did it.

No money for Israel should be in this bill. Not now, not ever.
