Can we please care about antiblackness and xenophobia EVERYWHERE? Remembering Joane Florvil today.

Today is the 9th anniversary of the tragic death of #joaneflorvil who died in police custody in Santiago, Chile after being falsely accused of abandoning her child. I wrote about her years ago for NACLA nacla.org/joane-florvi... #endglobalantiblackness

As you organize, teach, write or do whatever it is you do for our collective please ask yourself if you’re actually fighting for freedom or are you fighting to access privilege. I think people get these two confused as little too often and I’m getting effing tired. #communityasrebellion

Things that give me hope today: 1. My students asking questions about how to do work that dismantle white supremacy. 2. People coming together to support a member of their community in need even when they themselves have next to nothing. 3. Art. Poetry. Critical thinking. 4. Love 5. Dogs

Being Black an immigrant right now means effectively risking being stopped by the police for driving while Black and then having them call 🧊 on you, abducted and, if lucky, deported to the country of your birth. Thinking of my Black Latinx immigrants on this #latinheritage month.

ICE cannot do what it’s doing without local law enforcement. They need their manpower and infrastructure. That means if you want to stop ICE you are going to have to confront police collaboration and police power. I’m sorry but progressive hopes of avoiding this conflict are a recipe for failure.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

Be very careful believing white academics talking smack about Black scholars. It really is open season and if you “like” and applaud, YOU could be complicit with consequences as bad as someone’s death (learn from Arday’s sad loss).

Since its inception the American university (which is yet another colonial bequeath) has made sure that Black, brown and indigenous people stay out. And by out I mean as students, faculty and admin but also out of history, literature, philosophy. 1/3

I was yelled at years ago when I wrote that academia was killing us (if you’re an us, you know). When mediocre white men plagiarize or worse, it’s handled quietly. When one of us fucks us they’re driven to death in a public spectacle that implicates us all. Shame. Peace to Arday. 💔

I also love how suddenly some scholars care about academic freedom to support the free speech of a white supremacist while so many of us are facing all kinds of troubles from disciplinary actions to losing jobs over Palestine. 😒 seriously, fuck them, fuck #cofnas and yes Free Palestine.
