Peeling Off Old Paint To Tell Stories Of Palestinian Refugees by street artist Pejac

With these four small interventions I am trying to tell a minimalistic story about the Palestinian refugees in Al Hussein, Amman Jordan.

By removing small areas of the “skin” of the houses I want to transform the paint chipping, produced by the passage of time, in to evocative landscapes and transmit the pride of its inhabitants through the walls.

Al-Hussein refugee camp was originally stablished in 1948 as a result of the Arab-Israeli war.  Source:boredpanda and streetartnews

i once asked my father who was his favourite. me or my brothers ‘baba, who do you love more?’ i remember, baba smiled and told me ‘i love my kids all the same’ so i smiled back, right into his tired brown eyes but baba carried on ‘i know you will never leave me alone’ baba said. he read on my face that his words confused me. so baba kept going ‘i know when i am old, it is my daughter who will put the food into my mouth. i know it is my daughter who will bring me a glass of water on hot days. i know it is my daughter who will take my hand and listen to me rambling like old people often do. i know my daughter will have a husband and kids. but i know she’ll never forget her old father’ baba said. ‘because daughters are grateful, daughters are soft and caring, daughters remember and daughters give back.’

White people are a very recent invention, and I do say invention. In America it is very clear that many people came here for many complex reasons, but they were not white before they got here. They were Irish or Polish or English or German, they didn’t become white until they got here. And they had to become white in self-defense because I was here. And I was here for them, to work for them to keep them white.

Congresswoman Who Used To Receive Welfare Wants To Drug Test Rich People Who Get Tax Breaks

"I would love to see some hedge fund manager on Wall Street who might be sniffing a little cocaine here and there to stay awake realize that he can't get his $150,000 worth of deductions unless he submits to a drug test."

Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI) has had enough of the growing movement to drug test poor people who need government assistance. So on Tuesday, she’s introducing a bill that she says will make things fairer.

Her “Top 1% Accountability Act” would require anyone claiming itemized tax deductions of over $150,000 in a given year to submit a clean drug test. If a filer doesn’t submit a clean test within three months of filing, he won’t be able to take advantage of tax deductions like the mortgage interest deduction or health insurance tax breaks. Instead he would have to make use of the standard deduction.

Her office has calculated that the people impacted will be those who make at least $500,000 a year. “By drug testing those with itemized deductions over $150,000, this bill will level the playing field for drug testing people who are the recipients of social programs,” a memo on her bill notes.

Moore has a personal stake in the fight. “I am a former welfare recipient,” she explained. “I’ve used food stamps, I’ve received Aid for Families with Dependent Children, Medicaid, Head Start for my kids, Title XX daycare [subsidies]. I’m truly grateful for the social safety net.”

If they do not make your voice tremble, or your knees shake, or your weary soul submerge itself under the frenzied realization that you cannot be without that one person, perhaps you should consider letting them go— slowly, and with as much compassion as you can muster. You deserve to burn with emotion. Do not settle for people who make you feel lukewarm.
