When I heard Trinidad was actively supporting Trump’s moves on Venezuela, my response was that Dey too damn schtupid and voilà they are. Turn on your family get eaten up alone and subsequently discarded www.theguardian.com/world/commen...

The hunger strikers demands

Be clear that this is state attempted murder. This is imperial power. It is all of our responsibility to refuse the terms.

ICE, like Trump, is a product of the entire system of settler -colonial, white supremacist nationalism that is the foundation of the US project from its inception. Do not speak of dismantling ICE alone without insisting on the end of US empire.

Venezuela linchpin of anti-imperialism, history of struggle in Americas, reading list, solidarity statement, Israel kills journalists and families, corporations cash in on invasion, Sudan war, Venezuelans support Maduro, Cubans died fighting for Venezuela, Israel in Somalia. blackagendareport.com

"There is a widespread and unprecedented outbreak of the COVID virus in Gaza, while Israel continues to prevent the entry of vaccines. in addition to blocking the entry of a large number of medications." Omar Hamad, pharmacist, writer & tailor from Gaza

An ICE agent has shot and killed a driver in Minneapolis amid an immigration enforcement surge

This is why we must connect: empire abroad is empire at home, as always, claiming Black and Indigenous lives and futures.

Israel destroyed every university in Gaza and is now starting to repeat that process in the West Bank.

Finding out from our former students who go on to grad studies just how racist other English Departments are in Canada... Imagine telling a Filipino MA student that they can only do a PhD if they find a Filipino supervisor...They do not racialize white studies...

There is urgency here. Let’s meet it with support.

For about ten years after the N. Ireland peace agreement was signed, I helped to monitor policing in communities. What Chicago lawyer Rob Held says BP does – attacks communities as BP leaves – is what the notorious police in N. Ireland did too – antagonize locals and launch attacks as they exit.

The “deal” that UVA signed with Trump means that it is now unlawful for UVA administrators to do anything—anything at all—with the goal of addressing these shameful statistics. Not because federal law prohibits it. But because UVA made the choice to go along with Trump/DOJ’s radical race agenda.

You’ll never guess who else experienced ‘racism’ on the job market despite their unimpeachable academic credentials.

One of the many problems with current writing on Jane Austen is the failure to understand her novels as *satire* and the dehistoricization of satire itself as fundamental to the novel genre. I read this as largely due to present eighteenth-century studies choosing to wallow in aesthetics.

Shades of the Tuskegee study

One of our @ucl.ac.uk students Qesser Zuhrah is at risk of death and was being denied medical help and hospitalization until very recently I've written to our Provost, David Lammy, and my local MP @stellacreasy.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

i'm going to keep saying this until everyone gets on board: they want us all to die. They are not only planning for us all to die; they are facilitating things to happen that will kill as many of us as possible as efficiently as possible.

seems like this is a country with high Hep B prevalence. Is the US funding a study that will likely hurt children in a poor African country to try and somehow justify its unscientific US-based policy its implementing on Hep b vaccine? pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746078/

HBD Jane Austen, you would have hated how white women tried to profit off your legacy by pretending you were something you weren’t! Anyway, go read @kerrysinanan.bsky.social’s great piece! theconversation.com/jane-austen-...

For Jane Austen's 250th Birthday I am sharing my article for @theconversation.com that warns against pretending Austen was radical or "wild". She was a Conservative, supported of empire and mainstream tenets of white supremacy and heteronormative primogeniture. theconversation.com/jane-austen-...

"It may seem...that the cluster of technologies marketed as 'AI' is entirely new and that, logically, objection to it must likewise be unheard-of...But protesting it has a long history. Inspired by..this photo, we are calling for resistance to the AI industry’s ongoing capture of higher education."

"To these detectives of digital inauthenticity, I say: Friend, welcome to a typical Tuesday in a Kenyan classroom, boardroom, or intra-office Teams chat. The very things you identify as the fingerprints of the machine are, in fact, the fossil records of our education."

I had forgotten most of the products Google has killed off. (The list continues past what's visible ⤵️. About ten scrolls worth.) Google Cache was one of my most important research tools, enabling tracking breadcrumbs along an investigative path. I had blocked out its death 2 years ago. 😢

I have always seen connections between Stuart Hall's writings and Equiano's and here is explore them and what they mean for how we read and teach from Black Atlantic spaces.

This piece is written with my heart - Equiano and Hall's writings always profoundly move me & push me to be a better reader & teacher. I hope it offers something important at this time: "“On the Hinge”: Olaudah Equiano and Black Atlantic Reading."https://utppublishing.com/doi/10.3138/ecf-2024-0044

Thanks to U Winnipeg Library and Ian Fraser for the space to talk about the white supremacist history of Academic Integrity and the Honors system, and how our ways of dealing with GenAI in universities perpetuate racial hierarchies and carceral systems. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_-F...

This morning I was able to support Help Sudanese Families Escape from War with a donation of 150 CAD. Can you join me? gofund.me/08a01fad0

Keep Hope Alive: a Gaza Giving Circle raise money for families in Gaza. Im a regular supporter. This morning I made a donation of 100 dollars. Can you join me? Every amount helps. chuffed.org/project/hope...

Still raising funds. Please support as you are able. I’ve donated to each of these this week and for some I am a monthly supporter. Please join me.

there are of course many examples of political constituencies that have in fact killed scores of children (en route to some other evil goal), but I can't offhand think of any historical examples of a political constituency organized for that specific purpose

World AIDS Day. We remember.

The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

The funniest thing to me about this article is the complaint about how difficult it is to get a 36 person Board to agree on anything, after they literally voted to get rid of the President, which is kind of a big deal! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

BC is literally stolen according to Canadian law.

It was six years ago today that a man in Wuhan, China began feeling ill. He would become the first known COVID case. Covid is still with us. It’s still killing and disabling. Clean the air. Wear a mask. Get your boosters. Public health is a social justice issue.

Tomorrow I am talking about Abolitonist approaches to Academic Integrity as a category, and linking it to the systemic racist capitalism of GenAI and how it is being policed in universities. Join on Zoom! www.uwinnipeg.ca/events/2025/...

Dave Snow is out here telling a government committee that racist researchers are being sidelined. But that's not the best part. The best part is that the government committee is treating this as constructive feedback. www.ourcommons.ca/documentview...

The Canadian Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science and Research is launching a US-style attack on EDI in Tri-Council funding. As part of this attack, they are demanding disclosure of confidential demographic info + reviewer comments of all Canadian researchers who have applied b/w 2000-2025.

Glad to be a small part of this incredible report on suppressing Palestinian advocacy in CA Universities. Thanks to Azeezah Kanji and the task force. This is part of the record now: www.institutionalcomplicity.ca
