this Transactions piece had been in the slow cooker for many years I'm so glad that it's out!

We feed you.
They hunt us.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening

historians: that thing is definitely happening

star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it

news outlets: these protesters are out of control

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

This workshop is today! Don’t miss it. Support grassroots mutual aid networks on the ground.

if you set the distribution of harms from pollution (e.g. cancer and asthma rates) next to the distribution of benefits from economic cooperation (e.g. income/wealth gaps) then the narrative that environmentalism is for the rich is the thing we should find surprising!

A new paper by my wonderful colleague Joanna Allan and her co-author Moiti Mohamed Azrouk, "Poetry, citizenship and diplomacy: The case of Western Sahara," looks fascinating!

🧪 National Science Foundation update alert ⚠️⚠️

NSF just made a **lot** of updates to its "priorities" page.

It's mixed news. Some good. Some bad.

❌ Not welcome: NSF is now also terminating "environmental justice" awards.

Me: I love teaching!
Also me, preparing my classes:

White people enacting violence after violence instead of grappling in earnest w history & how how it shapes us. Also frustrating as a teacher because many white students absolutely are capable of growth if you hold them to that standard. There’s a reason white supremacists find these bans so urgent.

This statistic blew my mind

they are literal segregationists apnews.com/article/scho...

Come join us ♥️🇵🇸

Horrified by this. Reverent Barber is the closest to MLK this movement has - he emanates goodness and loving kindness. His care for all of humanity is the biggest threat they face.

We are proud to introduce our next Workshop4Sudan w/ Ruth Wilson Gilmore on May 5 at 12 pm (EDT). This wkshp will among other things allow 4 reflections on what internationalism frm below might look like, given abolition requires it + how we apply it to diff. contexts.
