Hey y'all, we have @suzetski.bsky.social's interview with @arunkundnani.bsky.social about H. Rap Brown/Jamil Al-Amin live on our website. spectrejournal.com/h-rap-brown-...

Thank you, @arunkundnani.bsky.social and @journalspectre.bsky.social

The first video in our series on Trump's second term is with @arunkundnani.bsky.social - author of What is Antiracism? and The Muslims are Coming! Kundnani describes the failures of the Democrats and suggests that the rise of the far-right can be viewed as the War on Terror returning home.

Across the Maghreb, resistance movements are challenging border militarisation and advocating for policies rooted in regional solidarity and self-determination. These movements often draw on anti-colonial legacies to border imperialism. tni.org/borderimperialismmaghreb

5🔥books I read this year: 2. "What Is Antiracism?: And Why It Means Anti-capitalism" by @arunkundnani.bsky.social. Brilliant political history of racism, grounded in thinkers like CLR James, Claudia Jones, Stuart Hall. Via @versobooks.bsky.social www.versobooks.com/products/267...

They arrested him because he is too decent, too fastidious, and too humane for today's NYU. Andrew Ross is one of the US's great public scholars and a fearless campaigner for justice. By aiding the NYPD in his arrest, @newyorkuniversity.bsky.social has brought eternal shame upon itself.

For 50 years, @tninstitute.bsky.social has been a rendezvous point for movements from the global South to come together, along with radicals from the North. In its new five-part series, TNI people look at major moments shaping the international Left over that period. audioboom.com/playlists/46...

Interview I did this week with WBAI's Law and Disorder radio show on my new graphic booklet "Homeland Security: Myths and Monsters," how the Dept of Homeland Security is a gift to the new Trump administration, and how to begin the fight back: www.kundnani.org/speaking/#la...

Congratulations to @arunkundnani.bsky.social, recipient of a 2024 Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grant for the book I RISE IN FIRE: H. RAP BROWN, JAMIL AL-AMIN, AND THE LONG REVOLUTION! Read more about his work here: www.whiting.org/content/arun...

Keir Starmer's government seems to be embracing the Policy Exchange thinktank - which was the most influential promoter of Islamophobic policies during the years the Conservatives were in power. hyphenonline.com/2024/12/02/p...

"What do the Algerian and Vietnamese struggles have to do with the Palestinian struggle today? The answer is that the Palestinian liberation struggle must be uncompromisingly situated within the long line of anti-colonial revolutionary efforts." @tninstitute.bsky.social www.tni.org/en/article/v...

"One of the particular cruelties of another Trump presidency is that while his policies will drive millions deeper in debt, the self-proclaimed ​'King of Debt' will live ostentatiously while he’s simultaneously carrying far more debt than most anyone else." inthesetimes.com/article/trum...

Trump’s program of mass deportations will be carried out by the Department of Homeland Security, a sprawling, bipartisan, corporations-serving monster that has always failed to secure us from the greatest dangers we face. And I have a new comic book on it: www.commonnotions.org/homeland-sec...

Click here to subscribe to my free monthly email newsletter: www.kundnani.org/subscribe/ The November issue has my most recent essay reflecting on Trump's victory and how we now need to "fight for all the great and simple things that make us human."

Most of the really perceptive analysis of Trump has come from the global South. Case in point: today's webinar hosted by @tninstitute.bsky.social, with Anuradha Chenoy, Adam Hanieh, Jayati Ghosh, and the especially sharp Walden Bello. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQyL...

I wrote on why to really explain Trump’s victory, we need to get at how it feels to be living in the debris of a failed neoliberal order. Neofascism offers a fantasy of restored individual sovereignty through the nihilistic pleasures of racial and gender domination. t.co/dDEzANL9Kh
