We've taken our @marsdenfund.bsky.social "Poetics of Treaties" project on the road! Spending time today at the Agowiidiwinan Centre & at the Museum of Human Rights thinking about treaties in those contexts, then speaking tomorrow at UW. Thank you to @kerrysinanan.bsky.social for hosting us there

These violent lynchings of a student, Trey Reed, and a homeless man are being hidden. There is a direct through line between the fascist response to Kirk's death, blaming everyone except their own, and these murders.

Very excited that I will finally meet @nikkihessell.bsky.social in person tomorrow and cannot wait to hear her talk with Carwyn Jones on how we can center Treaties in our work and on comparing different treaty experiences and knowledges in 'Canada' and Aotearoa

The number of white progressives and liberals stumbling over themselves and crying is pathetic. We see you. And we know you won’t lift a finger to protect the same marginalized ppl you grift off of. HATE IS NOT A POLITICAL OPINION. The fact that this has to be said is unconscionable

This prompts me to go back and re-read Claudia Rankine’s JUST US.

🚨🚨So excited that the Barnard Center for Research on Women is hosting the virtual launch for *Sweet Taste of Empire,* published by ‪@pennpress.bsky.social‬. We have an incredible lineup!!!!!! #RaceB4Race #ShakeRace 10.30.2025 | 6:30pm EST| register here! bcrw.barnard.edu/event/the-sw...

Amid ongoing ceasefire talks, Israel attempted to assassinate the Hamas negotiating team in an airstrike on the Doha office of its lead negotiator, senior Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya. Hamas officials say the negotiating team survived the attack. mondoweiss.net/2025/09/isra... #Palestine #Israel

IDF sniper from Chicago who says he killed Gazan teenager just for trying to retrieve his brother's corpse: “They’re thinking, ‘Oh I don’t think [I’ll get shot] because I’m wearing civilian clothes and I am not carrying a weapon' and all that, but they were wrong. That’s what you have snipers for.”

And, of course, if you've ever swooned at an Austen estate, you have to read Tré Ventour-Griffiths's: National Trust in Jane Austen’s Empires of Sugar digitalcommons.usf.edu/abo/vol11/is...

In this Jane Austen anniversary year, I love how much our essay cluster "Race and Racism in Austen Spaces" keeps getting read over on ABO: Interactive Journal for Women in the Arts! Read @kerrysinanan.bsky.social's framing: Eroticizing Men of Empire in Austen digitalcommons.usf.edu/abo/vol11/is...

Rampant counterisurgency in slavery historiography that is dominated by liberals who refuse to reckon with the structures of white supremacy, anti-Indigeneity and anti-Blackness their narratives ultimately uphold. Longer thread needed but this is for now....

The argument being made for a return to the past in hiring or admissions [at UVA] seems to be an argument for a return to affirmative action for white men. www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2025...

Florida International University is under fire from one of its own faculty members after reports detailed that the school provided equipment to the “Alligator Alcatraz” immigration detention facility, intensifying existing anger over FIU’s police partnership with ICE and ongoing labor disputes.

I knew the contents of the packet in the post. Publication day yay! I can finally hold The Sage Handbook of Decolonial Theory. So many feels!

PM Mark Carney is planning the biggest military spending hike since WWII. What federal programs will be cut to pay for this increase? I spoke with policy analyst and peace activist Steve Staples about missile defence, NATO, and the peace movement breachmedia.ca/more-weapons...

Very hard to celebrate Labor Day when our unions are bourgeoisie, gatekeepers, settlers, majority white (certainly in academia), full of croneyism, only focused on pay and do not care about working conditions, clean air or GENOCIDE!

"Aid" as a lethal weapon

Lol, we need the "AI" that is killing the environment and guzzling untold amounts of resources to save the environment. This is 1984 type of marketing, like "ministry of peace" that is actually the war department.

When I was at UTSA I was the Chair of the Faculty Senate Academic Freedom committee. We passed 2 resolutions in 2022-3 supporting Critical Race Studies, Ethnic Studies and African American Studies, and Academic Freedom. Even these largely symbolic statements will no longer be tolerated.

“What we know should be taken seriously. Our enemies are relentless, and only a relentless opposition willing to fight by any means necessary will stop them. If you want to know where to find the firestarter for that opposition, locate the nearest mirror.”

Starmer’s Labour government says there’s no money to scrap the two-child benefit cap and lift 500,000 children out of poverty — but there is £2,000,000,000 for Elbit, Israel’s partner in genocide. This obscene deal must be stopped. They have Palestinian blood on their hands.

The great Annie Lennox calling for a general strike as a response to the genocidal nature of Israel.

The ongoing absurdity of Austen scholars and readers claiming she was anything other than a Tory, a social conservative in the Burkean mould, and fully supportive of Britain's imperial, naval project, needs to be considered in the context of white feminism and cultural nationalism.

This is actually incredible. Tennis Canada is willing to endorse genocide by hosting Israel in Davis Cup tennis for the low low low price of $2.2 million. That's the projected economic benefit. Not including the cost of policing protesters, which will of course be deducted from that.

Why is it important to counter the Jane Austen 250th birthday frenzy in this moment? Because she is being used to promote neoimperial Brexit culture under the cover of white feminism as supposedly 'radical' 1/ theconversation.com/jane-austen-...

I interviewed @malsaafin.bsky.social about the killing of Anas al-Sharif, how Western media treats Palestinian journos, if Israel's current plans for Gaza City are distinct from previous plans, and if a “day after” the war is something it even envisions. www.seamus-malekafzali.com/p/the-exterm...

"This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings."

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.

Another incredible resource is lifeline4gaza.com, which currently includes 400+ funding appeals from people in Gaza and displays the amount donated over the last 5 days. Open the link and you will see the appeals ordered from least to most donations so the most neglected campaigns are at the top.

In the context of Brexit, the politics of canon and tradition in the affirm a nationalist and neoimperial culture. Austen was neither radical nor an abolitionist and we should all stop using the eugenicist term "genius" as I argue in @theconversation.com 👇🏽 theconversation.com/jane-austen-...

Big tech promotes the story that since ChatGPT burst onto the scene, AI has been so popular it's rushed to meet the demand. The reality is different. A study by design scholars shows tech co's have had to push AI on its users with a variety of intrusive tactics. How big tech is force-feeding us AI:

"Decolonizing the Caribbean Intellectual Betrayal of Palestine: What Fanon and Ture Never Would Have Done" by Jermain Ostiana & Kerry( @kerrysinanan.bsky.social )Sinanan via @blackagendareport.bsky.social #BlackAgendaReport blackagendareport.com/decolonizing...

The wider question is *why* Caribbean Studies and so many connected, remain silent on the obvious theft of Fanon, Ture and others for Zionist propaganda. Too many are averting their gaze while still reaping the benefits of academic nepotism.

Thanks to @blackagendareport.bsky.social & @sablikatriumph Selecting Lewis Gordon for the Kwame Ture Memorial Lecture Series is a travesty of Ture’s powerful legacy and his strident anti-Zionist position, which is also core to his Pan African vision. blackagendareport.com/decolonizing...

Hi ☺️ This is my other account where I publish Palestinian literature, heritage, and happy and sad Palestinian moments, a kind of art. follow pls @joydii22.bsky.social

Stare at the sea long to see u heroes 🤎🌷

Austen was an imperialist conservative, and fully part of her white supremacist culture which, even if it abolished the transatlantic slave trade, has still never abolished the Chain of Being order of things.
