I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.

Why should politicians have a monopoly on political violence? Because choking people with pollution or starving them with the stroke of a pen is very real violence

Oh boo fucking hoo. Americans, especially colonized, disabled, and queer Americans have been living in fear. If they were really afraid they could improve people's quality of life and until that happens I could not give less of a shit about their fear

This eventual outcome has long been obvious to any good-faith observer of the right's supposed concerns about free speech. Me in 2017: www.insidehighered.com/advice/2017/...
Weaponizing Free Speech
By targeting the comments of presumably left-wing professors, the right is using free speech as part of their long-term strategy of delegitimizing higher education itself, writes Victor Ray.

@FranceskAlbs
With proposed law #DDL1004, Italy will effectively become the avanguard of Israel's propaganda in Europe: saying that Israel is an Apartheid/racist state will be punished (hence I call it DDL pro-Apartheid).
At a time when Israel is accused of genocide, this is utterly shameful.

Last week, in Italy, several journalists organized a training course on the proposed 'anti-semitism' bill adopting the IHRA definition and the risks it poses to press freedom. The response from pro-Israel groups included a complaint against the journalists’ own professional body. x.com/paolomossetti/…

I’ve seen Black people across social media platforms talking about picnics at lynchings and so many white people are in our mentions insisting that the last public execution was 1936 and that lynchings were “mob murder” not state sanctioned. So confidently loud and incredibly wrong.

They used Tren de Aragua and MS-13 as the literal pretext for mass deportation but people picture Black people when they picture gangs and they consider immigration an issue for Latinos, this is how you get “they’re not targeting gangs” as something people believe.

Some people will watch a livestream of an execution and regret it for the rest of their life. It may be a pivotal moment. But this spectacle is not for them, it is for removing the inhibitions of the people who will see this and crave more. White folks need to reckon with how many of us that'll be
