I've been reading the posts about Richard Dawkins. I think it is worth remembering that he posited that eugenics works. And is known for islamophobic, sexist, rape survivor blaming language, and more. He's been problematic for a long time. None of this is new. 🗑️ proteanmag.com/2020/03/02/r...

I can tell you how ill-equipped they typically are to accommodate the basic human needs of the workers who are paid to toil inside them (air conditioning, water, bathrooms, etc.), let alone the needs of human beings our government wants to forcibly cage there... proteanmag.com/2020/05/20/l...

For @proteanmag.com, I interviewed Mitchell Abidor about his new Pluto Press biography of Victor Serge, Victor Serge: Unruly Revolutionary, kind of a bombshell account for what it reveals about the importance of Serge’s early anarchist years and his late anticommunism.

This is the best take I’ve seen on OBAA, which I wanted to like; I certainly love PTA, and I loved Inherent Vice. But transposing a ‘60s vision of urban leftist guerrilla activism in the present just feels really odd; doubly so when those movements petered out to such little effect.

My essay on Abdaljawad's writings and Palestinian resistance is my attempt to answer the question that Fargo Tbakhi asked us in December 2023: 'What does Palestine require of us, as writers writing in English from within the imperial core, in this moment of genocide?' proteanmag.com/2023/12/08/n...
