your people are more powerful than your politicians, don’t forget that

New ep: Trump’s intense police, ICE, military repression w/ Alberto Toscano and @stschrader1.bsky.social. What does this reveal about MAGA’s fascist authoritarian project—and about the illiberalism immanent in carceral and imperialist state? FIRST in 2-part series www.thedigradio.com/podcast/fasc...

“At the Third National Fascist Congress on 8 November 1921, Mussolini would reiterate that when it came to economic matters, fascists were ‘declaredly antisocialist,’ which is to say ‘liberal.’” —Alberto Toscano, Late Fascism

What a stupidly cruel country.

The U.S. military is set to deploy about 700 Marines to Los Angeles while additional National Guard troops arrive in the city, a U.S. official told Reuters

“When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.”

More people should pause before lashing out at folks who share their hatred of this administration and ask themselves, "Am I using this person as a punching bag because I don't know how to strike back at the people responsible for all of the kidnappings, killings, deportations, and destruction?"

for our followers at the AAAS conference in Boston - we are tabling and doing other things to disrupt conferencing as an academic space/time free from the 'real world.' come visit us and drop your $$$ to support the Sameer Project, which continues to provide life-saving resources for ppl in Gaza

A small collection of the beautiful fliers from across the UCs for the April 17th day of action to save higher education! The mass mobilization across colleges and universities is really something to be hopeful about. @aaup.bsky.social

In one week! Be sure to register and join us for this discussion of Puerto Rican solidarity with Palestine. The proceeds from this workshop will go to support the crucial, on the ground work of the Sameer Project, so please give what you can. 🇵🇷🔥🇵🇸

I think its time for an escort system. If you are a student who is active on Palestine and who is not a citizen, or if your friend is, you need to walk with them so that if this happens someone is there to advocate and witness at least. This is vicious.

We’re doing a blanket drive! Instead of engaging in mindless consumerism today, donate to cover the cost of one blanket in the north, approx. $38USD at tinyurl.com/sameerproject-north or $90USD in the south at tinyurl.com/sameerproject-south

i loved this conversation with @hrag.bsky.social about my research into labor and aesthetics and the histories of museums/archives so so much! @dukepress.bsky.social @hyperallergic.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=LP6p...

The mandate for academics in this moment is to 1) figure out how their knowledge and skills can be made useful and applicable to the movement to end colonial violence at home and abroad and 2) move as many resources out of the university as possible

“Despite all the controversies and alleged links to extrajudicial killings and suspected criminals, Duterte has told Davao voters that a vote for him is a vote for order.“

Here’s another fabulous 2023 episode of Imagine Otherwise. Cathy Hannabach talks to Josen Masangkay Diaz about Josen’s @dukepress.bsky.social book Postcolonial Configurations. ideasonfire.net/148-josen-ma...

New at PB, Vernadette Vicuña Gonzalez, Sony Coráñez Bolton, Genevieve Clutario, & Josen Masangkay Diaz discuss colonial world making in the Philippines and Philippine diaspora—and how the colonized challenge these apparatuses of empire. www.publicbooks.org/where-is-the...

An open letter on the responsibility of scholars & educators in this moment to stand against apartheid & genocide — and calling for retraction of anti-Palestinian statements by university admins. In @STCollective socialtextjournal.org/periscope_to...

Incredible, thank you.

“We hope this bulletin will help guide what principled solidarity can look like right now within the imperial core, and arm those in solidarity with us with tools to resist the military-industrial complex that is hellbent on our people’s extermination.”

For years, I’ve been mentally collecting university president statements in my head for a future class I will teach on liberal responses to violence

Colonialism evacuates the imagination.

My friends and I are celebrating our books at ASA! Celebrate with us!
