Our Palestinian Grandchildren in 2026

In 2026, the fear for my Palestinian-American grandchildren looms large, even as they embrace their American identity. As proud adopted grandparents of three children from Gaza, we witness their resilience amidst trauma. Their father, a political refugee, embodies love and justice, having survived unimaginable hardships. This narrative intertwines our shared histories, highlighting the tragic irony of suffering. We strive for a just peace, honoring our ancestors' struggles while dreaming of a day when we can travel together to a free Palestine. Join us in exploring the complexities of identity, belonging, and the quest for peace in a fractured world.

Rumptacrazy

The absurdist theater of American foreign policy has long relied on a specific brand of nonsensical farce dressed up in the vestments of alleged democratic alignment and human rights. Today, that system has culminated in a bizarre, modern political mutation: the Rumptocracy. This regime is characterized by a leadership so self-absorbed that it has no need for eyes, buried securely within its own anatomy. As the U.S. wages war on sovereign nations, the true goal emerges: to reverse the changes of 1959 and reclaim Cuba as a playground for the wealthy. Will the American voter finally demand accountability for these travesties?

The Long War on Iran: Vengeance, Oil, and the Cost of Forgetting

A fierce reflection on America’s long history of intervention in Iran, the shadow of Iraq and Afghanistan, and the dangerous machinery of vengeance, oil, and endless war. This essay asks what happens when a nation forgets the cost of past catastrophes and marches toward another.

A St. Patrick’s Day Reflection

A St. Patrick’s Day reflection from Girona, Catalonia, connecting Irish survival, Catalan resistance, and the enduring struggle against cultural erasure, fascism, and silence. Through memory, poetry, history, and personal reflection, Namaya honors Ireland not as a symbol of celebration alone, but as a nation of resilience, solidarity, and freedom.
