The @soc4pal.bsky.social alternate conference is everything that academia should be. It's rigorous yet warm, it's fully of energy. It's cross-generational. The sessions are vibrant and exciting. I'm so touched that folks organized this, and in awe because organizing a conference is a herculean task.

At least 300 people at the @Soc4Pal rally outside the @ASAnews, protesting a conference that claiming to be “disrupting the status quo” in service of an “equitable society” but that refuses to let its own members vote on boycott. The only thing the ASA is serving is genocide.

When We Win: Dispatches from Revolutionary Futures
Revelatory short stories from astute political thinkers that unveil radical visions of futures transformed by collective struggles for liberation This collection envisions a multitude of futures where today's freedom struggles have overcome oppression and capitalism and formed new revolutionary societies. Here, fiction authors, revolutionary theorists, and movement intellectuals take readers into liberated worlds, wresting the future from the cruelty of the state, private property, and profit. Inspired by the liberatory horizons that have emerged in mass movements from recent history, When We Win imagines complex futures of disability justice, sexual and gender freedom, communization, and radical democracy. The stories describe decolonized possibilities, detailing how life after revolution might sound, taste, smell, feel, and look. The future, we insist, is ours to craft.

As a reminder: Israel brought us here. Israel pressured the US into this war, that killed thousands for no reason,that raised your gas prices and put the entire global economy in jeopardy for no reason. Now Israel doesn’t want it to end. When will we detach from this toxic entity?
