No one has ever accused me of being insensitive to actual antisemitism. I left the UK because of it. US universities are not antisemitic these days—20 years ago there were still some moments — but the NYT and Harvard must learn to distinguish criticism of a violent government and bias. Not hard.

If you’re in the Bay Area, please feel very warmly invited to these two events at Clio’s on March 22 and Medicine for Nightmares on March 23 around my book with the Center for Convivial Research and Autonomy, and poets Priscilla Washington and Omar Zahzah. Community, poetry and politics.

I wrote about how to see Palestine is to see the world and how Oct 7 created January 20 for Pluto Books blog. www.plutobooks.com/blog/to-see-...

Harvard shut down its Slavery Remembrance program. This is how the liberal elites enable fascism: first they shut down the encampments, now they purge the administration and next it will be the teaching .

Join us on the late afternoon of January 16 at UCL's Institute for Advanced Studies in London to launch *TO SEE IN THE DARK: Palestine and Visual Activism Since October 7* by @nickmirzoeff.bsky.social, the latest book in #VAGABONDS, the series I edit for @plutopress.bsky.social.

Out January 2025 and available for pre-order from Pluto Press. I start from Sylvia Federici’s saying “Palestine is the world. I try out how to see the world from there, from the dark, in the genocide. And from my own anti-Zionist Jewish point of view and all its dark contradictory violences.

Hey guess what Germany— France, the UK, US— supporting genocide doesn’t defend democracy, it makes your government collapse and opens the door to fascism. Democracy dies not In darkness but in liberal institutions from campuses to state houses, just like it did in 1930s.

I’m reposting this here ICYMI: a post on the age of digital genocide, when the practice of solidarity becomes “analog,” meaning grounded. open.substack.com/pub/nicholas...

I’m on here now , I guess: anyone else?
