  • A little reprieve goes a long way.

    Lost in the shuffle of grief & overstimulation I find myself in an incredulous place of ignorance knowing that there’s so much to unlearn. I get lost in your work because you balance self-care and informing your audience. It lets the allies of liberation know that we are not alone. From Montréal, Merci!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Happens When Your Story Collides with Genocide? | Tareq Baconi on Gaza
Q: How did coming out to your mother and father shape the narrative?
Coming out was framed as a pivotal moment that shifted the author from private concealment to a public acceptance of his authentic self, while also inviting his family to inhabit his world and participate in the ongoing struggle for Palestinian identity and justice.
What Happens When Your Story Collides with Genocide? | Tareq Baconi on Gaza
Q: Did you always expect to share this story publicly?
No. The author describes tricks of denial and private intentions early on but ultimately chose to publish to honor the experiences of those who lived through these events, and to connect personal memory with broader political realities.
What Happens When Your Story Collides with Genocide? | Tareq Baconi on Gaza
Q: Why did you write this book?
The book began as a personal act of coming to terms with a queer childhood and a life shaped by migration, exile, and political upheaval. It evolved into a larger project of integrating intimate memory with political analysis, aiming to tell a fuller story of identity, family, and Palestine while embracing the public responsibility of sharing one's truth.
'Israel Has Become A Pariah State' — Kenneth Roth
Q: Why do you think Israel is doing that, and why has it not elicited a greater response from member states, but also from media organizations?
Roth explains the targeted killings of journalists in Gaza and the humanitarian crisis, highlighting the inadequacy of Western media coverage in addressing these issues.
When AI Fuels Genocide in Gaza: Ibtihal Aboussad vs. Microsoft
Q: Can you walk us through how it felt as you discovered Microsoft's role in enabling genocidal operations in Gaza?
I felt shattered when I realized that the technology I was part of was being weaponized and directly compliciting with genocide.
