🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 "Former Harvard President Larry Summers will resign from his academic and faculty appointments at Harvard at the end of the academic year, relinquishing his University Professorship — Harvard’s highest faculty distinction — and remaining on leave until that time"

Knowing that White supremacists are living out their ancestors dreams is not a comforting thing.

But before there was MARTA, before the high-rises, before Black folks were paid for the culture that created the pulse of this city, we were on the auction block. atlanta.capitalbnews.org/underground-...

Amazon's latest data center project in Canton, Mississippi, has left residents unprepared for how its development would change their daily lives. “We had no idea all of this was coming,” said René Johnson. “They didn't tell us anything, even when it was in the making.”

There are no quick fixes for fascism - our charge is to confront and uproot the criminalization that underlies and drives it within and beyond borders.

Is it me or is the Black History Month pandering low this year?

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.

What a useful resource for organizing.

Beauty is not a luxury; rather it is a way of creating possibility in the space of enclosure, a radical art of subsistence, an embrace of our terribleness, a transfiguration of the given. It is a will to adorn, a proclivity to the baroque, and the love of too much. —Saidiya Hartman, Wayward Lives…

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

HOW do the OG abolitionists do it? I'm a baby in comparison to many of the folks who've been doing this for decades.

Pero, this whole place thrives on the force of violence. What would be possible if many many more of us who wanted any aspect of it to end, organized ourselves with *that* in mind?

I be so stressed reading this stuff as someone who believes in and works towards PIC abolition. What is PIC? What is PIC abolition: from our comrades at Critical Resistance: criticalresistance.org/mission-visi...

The public, especially the local, response to the killing of Alex Pretti*

There are just so many issues with the "If Kamala were president..." statements.

And I voted for her. So don't even try the foolishness with me. This is why I need a long-form blog loooool

It is HIGHY likely that Kamala wouldn't have done many of the things 46 is doing. AND let's be clear, she's not a pacifist. She is not pro-abolition or pro-defund. We can't be okay with state violence anywhere. Part of why we're here today is because its acceptable for people to suffer "elsewhere."

Well...I can almost guarantee that she would've contributed to or turned something a war zone somewhere. Her remarks about the military made it clear. War zones shouldn't exist anywhere.

I want to write essays, have them edited by somebody, publish them somewhere, and send them out. Trying to do decide where to do that in 2026 is 😮‍💨 Looking at Beehiiv, Ghost, and Buttondown.

Thank's y'all! I got some clarity and some other options.

Hey, question (if you feel like answering): What's the political issue with using Sub Stack? I've seen folks saying its a no no, and I'm not clear why.

Trusted friends in Minneapolis tell me that this fund is supporting many people but does not have enough money. If you can give, please do: chuffed.org/project/1671...

In the words of prolific Price Is Right audience members GO LOWER!

Sending love to all the folks who do work to end Family Policing everyday. May this be a key moment that people tune into the destruction of families that happens everyday in this country.

We need more plays, more movies more tv shows, more discussions that tell the truth about slave societies in the western hemisphere.

Wrap this experiment UP.

Typos 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

Ban all past and future presidents of the United States from receiving and prizes until much further notice. And I mean all.

Lemme go to bed.

I didn’t go to film school and have no plans to. I am steadily building my knowledge while continuing to make films and write. Im writing another feature (I know, yes I’m also finishing my dissertation). It helps me manage my sanity.

Beautifully made and clearly references one of the greats — Sembéne’s Black Girl (1966)

I watched Hedda the other day. DeCosta does deviance well. Too damn well.

tHey DoNt caRE ABOUT what’s legal.

*dissociating from all the “it’s not legal to pepper spray or assault bystanders* where were those of you who were adults less than 15 years ago? Hell, five years ago.

Just watched Nia DeCosta’s latest spooky, demented, and wild ride of a film. I should’ve watched 28 Years Later first! But anyway, if you wanna be creeped tf out, go see it! #28YearsLaterTheBoneTemple

Build fast speed rail transportation. We fly too many planes in this country.

Hey! @wired.com is doing a bunch of hiring. Here we go with a thread of five great jobs, with a few more coming shortly: 1) We are hiring a senior editor for our science desk, which means you get to work with geniuses like @timmarchman.bsky.social @mollytaft.com and @emilymullin.bsky.social

Friends, Claudette Colvin—the 15-year-old who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus in March 1955 & joined the federal case against bus segregation that went to the Supreme Court — died today at age 86. But there are lots of myths and mis-impressions about her. A short corrective thread:

The four Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other three are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people including the Dakota 38 during the Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

he’s a member of an elite cadre of actors who signal shenanigans. I’d add Henry Wu, Stanley Tucci, and Kate Mara

If I see Tessa Thompson casted in anything, I assume shenanigans are afoot. I don’t know anything about His and Hers and I just know she bout to act up!

Hey Minneapolis ❄️—we're indie reporters here from Chicago. If there's anything you'd like us to know about community actions, vigils, or fed activity, please drop us a line on Signal at unraveled.66 📱

I watched so many of those docs as a child 😩😩😩

And we said abolish ICE too. ICE is not inevitable, its existence is not settled —even as it fortifies the settler state. Historically speaking, that ain’t certain either.

I wonder which people said this about policing in general a few years ago... [I recall that there might even have been some sort of a movement focused on this] - I know that Austin already knows. EYE will never get over the bullshit though.

Lmbo. I remember being told we were unreasonable after saying we want more money for good schools and housing instead of more money for cops. (And don’t tell me we didn’t say it that way, I did a lot and on national media too). Oh and that the “slogan was bad.” Ok girl.
