## Resource

This is just a teaser for today's episode, which is available for Patreon subscribers only! We can't do the show without your support, so help us keep the lights on over here and access tons of bonus content, including Roqayah's "Last Week in Lebanon" column, by subscribing on our Patreon for as little as $5 a month. While you're at it, we also love it when you subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts . Roqayah is off this week, so Kumars is joined from the top of the show by writer, organizer, poet, and returning guest Rasha Abdulhadi, author of several books including The Countermonuments (2024). Rasha and Kumars look back on the year since their last conversation and discuss the lessons for organizers going forward including the death of Dick Cheney, the election of Zohran Mamdani, the "12-Day War" on Iran, and those Somali settler memes. Rasha also shares their thoughts on the problem with prescribing a secular, democratic "one-state solution" in Palestine, why questioning empire abroad is sometimes easier than questioning colonial relations at home, and why people are referring to the genocide, like COVID, in the past tense. Follow Rasha on Twitter @rashaabdulhadi .
