@DaveGalanter I’m so so sorry to hear. Heartbroken. As I said to Dave, I owe him a great debt. So much of my imagination was lit up when reading his beautiful book Dead Endless. His influence on me and my work is profound, still today. He lives on in our hearts and imaginations. Sending you ❤️      source

@marzano_san This book, The Battle for Paradise by #naomiklein is actually a GREAT start. I recommend it to everyone. Regardless of statehood or independence, which at this point, isn’t the most important question, this is a great catalyst for the path forward.      source
