I wrote about the two separate occasions @newpersonalism.bsky.social visited Delaney Hall in solidarity with those imprisoned and to minister to their families waiting to see them. It struck me how banal the guards were in their cruelty there, and how there will soon be more, bigger prisons like it.
Jaime Pettit writes about ICE and the New Personalist intervention in New Jersey:
“The nation has built the Gates of Hell [...] All that we can do is push back against the inferno in whatever way we can.”

One of my translations was just published in New International magazine. Amin’s “Syria After Assad” reflects on how Syria is being reckoned with after the regime’s collapse. Translating it meant staying close to a very tangible grief that I cannot pretend to understand.
Azzam Amin writes about the social composition of Syria and the stakes of this precarious moment:
“For the moment, Damascus’s new leaders have presented no clear vision for what power will look like after the transition period.”
