“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second. We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa ‘financier.’ I have been forced to move my classes online. If journalists want to talk, DM me or reply here.

I spoke with historian @mark-bray.bsky.social about what’s behind Trump's executive order declaring antifa a “domestic terrorist organization” and his memorandum ordering federal probes into “organized political violence.” www.thecut.com/article/trum...

Trump Doesn’t Care if You’re Actually “Antifa”

Have you protested his policies? His administration’s elastic definition of left-wing violence could eventually ensnare you.

Cover of Fire Dreams: Making Black Feminist Liberation in the South by Laura McTighe, with Women With A Vision. Foreword by Deon Haywood. Cover features a painting of a woman walking forward, with a long piece of fabric draped over her shoulders and billowing behind her. Four figures stand behind her in the shadowed part of the painting, while the woman walking forward, facing to the left of the cover is illuminated.

Cover of Excited Delirium: Race, Police Violence, and the Invention of a Disease by Aisha M. Beliso-De Jesús. Cover is black with an inverted black and white image of several figures in an urban setting behind police tape. Trees behind the figures appear to be glowing brightly. The title appears in orange on the top half of the design and the subtitle and author name are smaller and in white.

Cover of Indifference: On the Praxis of Interspecies Being by Naisargi N. Davé. The cover is light gray, and features drawings of different people from the torso up, with empty thought and speech bubbles over their heads. There are several animals around the people, including a cheetah, deer, birds, a cat, and a dog. There are also multicolored circles patterned around the people.

Cover of Residual Governance: How South Africa Foretells Planetary Futures by Gabrielle Hecht. Cover portrays a sandy and rocky landscape. In the foreground, a shirtless man, wearing blue pants and a black hat, chips away at the ground with a pick ax.

Defunding Dissent

Philanthropists have quietly withdrawn funding from grassroots groups that spoke out for Gaza, imperiling a broad range of social justice movements.

In this letter to a young organizer, @prisonculture.bsky.social invites us all "to embrace uncertainty as a terrain of glorious possibility." Too many gems to share only one. I hope you give it a read.

Shut down the Midtown Tunnel in NYC.

Thousands march for Palestine through the midtown tunnel with keffiyehs, Palestine flags, signs, and banners at night. Faces are obscured with watermelon emojis.

So why did nonblack people stop caring that we're getting killed by police constantly still. Hello this is happening every day. It was before George Floyd & it is after. No stop to it no end to it. Not even worth a headline when we're slain just families quietly going forward in grief.
