It was such an honor to give the keynote at the Decatur Book Festival last night. Thank you and thank you and thank you to contributors Victoria Chang and Aruni Kashyap for helping me bring THE PEOPLE’S PROJECT to live. And big love to everyone who joined us.

Deeply concerned about my comrades, friends and loved ones in Chicago. Praying for everyone's safety. I'm running on fumes so shutting it down for the night on here.

Her fever burns like fire tonight, no medicine to cool it, and prices soar. No immunity, no food, no safety. Her tiny body fights a war it never chose, while bombs fall and sickness spreads. Every cough screams danger.Your share, your voice, your help,can save her life tonight. 🙏 gofund.me/edd687b8

Based on what we know about past flotilla punishment if they are doing this to her they are doing much worse to Arab, Muslim & Black and people of color flotilla members. Contact your government representatives & those of any country you are connected to to demand IMMEDIATE release for all of them.

Stop lying. Your state cops attacked protesters alongside ICE yesterday. I was there. I and others were violently attacked by ICE agents. Your state cops acted in concert with them during the attack.

DeSantis got away with fashing Florida schools in so many ways because journalism is not exactly a repository of mentally healthy, emotionally literate people able and willing to communicate the stakes and significance of such actions. The same way they avoid reporting WHY it's a cabinet of abusers

Emotions are female-coded and therefore already dismissed as irrational and immaterial to serious discussions of power. That's why the most emotionally disregulated cruel little hateful freaks are always screeching about how FACTS DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS.

And it's not just on the right, either. Ron DeSantis's decision to outlaw social-emotional learning because "woke" was a big blinking warning sign but it wasn't covered that way. They treat fascism as political theory but refuse to engage with the emotional conditions that perpetuate fascism

As long as the loudest folks on the left insist tone-policing, compromise on human rights, and acquiescence are our only options for a unified country, they will continue to lose the faith of the marginalized. And even when they win, they’ll just be waiting to lose the same way again.

Yes. This is also what all the demands to show "gratitude" and this obsession with hierarchy is about. For a long time they were able to engineer and perpetuate absurd expectations of Black silence and/or obeisance. A lot of their brains broke when POC on social media simply ... did not do this.

Notice that he doesn't mention the unprovoked ICE attack on protesters at Broadview—who were already complying with the commands of police—probably bc his state cops assisted in that violent attack. He prob thought he could prevent the troop deployment by helping ICE police protesters. Didn't work.

There are lots of more glaring and physically brutal basic violations of rights going on but it’s weird how ICE just seems to be freely stealing and wrecking people’s possessions too

I believe in labor organizing and unions, of which I’m a member. Yet I don’t romanticize unions. Many are top down, anti-leftist, aren’t antagonistic to capitalism, and have racist members. But they’re legible to many and organized, a good place to start experimenting. Unions are what we make them.

I've been reading up on resources being smuggled/financing the war in Sudan. From gold to Gum Arabic to livestock.... it's insane. In this thread, I'm going to post some articles worth reading, starting with this Reuters report from March: www.reuters.com/world/africa... #KeepEyesOnSudan

Your state troopers participated in Friday's fascist photo op attack at Broadview. Get the false charges against protesters dropped immediately!

🇲🇦 VIDEO: 'Clear demands': young Moroccans sustain week of protests Youth-led protests demanding reforms to public healthcare and education take place in Morocco's capital Rabat for a seventh day in a row.

lol if you tell Black women to be grateful, you deserve a HARD SLAP.

Elected officials simply CANNOT POST THROUGH IT. That is NOT their JOB.

If you recognize our right to survive as victims, please spend 50 for my family so we can evacuate.

We are here because policing in the U.S. has been this way for generations. This is why ICE acts with impunity. They know they can act this way.

You can see how their cameramen document their violence. This is about content creation. For the last one, I had to search my files for a photo of this moment that didn't include the face of a pained or screaming protester, but for clarity: those are tackled human beings on the ground.

Breaking news: ICE stops family at gunpoint—smash car window on top of newborn baby. "I was screaming that there was a baby. But they didn’t care," cried mother. “I covered my baby with my body—I was so scared he was going to be hurt because glass was landing on him."

Hello my friends to everyone who has Instagram I hope you follow me there I will always be there, to download my diary Instagram : www.instagram.com/abdalrjj?igs...

I live on the west side and I am very shook up right now. There's been a helicopter hovering all day. ICE throwing tear gas at a busy intersection with a grocery store! and a SCHOOL!!! People kidnapped from the Home Depot. It's like the stuff you read in history books, right there on your block.

I’m off the ground. Hurting. Gotta tend to the parts of me that got wrenched. Outside of that, I am wholly focused on getting my friend and the rest of our people back. NLG is on it and I’ll share whatever I learn.

State police assisted ICE in the performative brutalization and arrest of protesters today. @govpritzker.illinois.gov must answer for this.

Why is Pritzker letting IL state cops help ICE abuse his state??

State cops literally assisted ICE in assaulting and arresting people who had been actively complying with the demands of state police. Folks were on the sidewalk, and ICE marched up and attacked the crowd for a photo op. IL state cops helped. @govpritzker.illinois.gov must be held accountable.

Thank you all, who sent a beautiful message reminding me of it ❤️

I'm so sorry, for this absence, I appreciate your fear, but the days were passing harder than you imagine

Hello, my friends

Is everyone appreciating how utterly sick this is

This is who @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social is. Brilliant. Fearless. I fucking hate typing this shit out: Free Eman. Amplify amplify amplify please.

Ice is kidnapping black citizens in Chicago in the middle of the night.

Hi friends 👋🏾 back w/a request on behalf of a Sudanese refugee surgeon-to be. Surgical exam is coming up & she is w/out means to pay the (frankly insane) fee—$1700. We need just $1024 to help her afford it. If you can help, please do: PayPal.me/BSonblast Ven: BSonblast #KeepEyesOnSudan

Why did @govpritzker.illinois.gov send out Illinois police to limit protests at Broadview? Why is a progressive governor shielding illegal ICE activity from peaceful protesters? Why are our state tax dollars devoted to Trump’s agenda?

These fascists have taken my friend, Palestinian scholar and feminist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social into custody.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

- Conflicting reports from Almalha, N. Darfur: locals report SAF drone strikes "on 3 sites, resulting in civilian casualties", while SAF reports targeting RSF convoy. - RSF shelling reported on Abushok neighborhood of Elfashir. #KeepEyesOnSudan

Today's quick update [Oct 2]: - 4 people from a single family reported killed in a drone strike on a truck west of ElObeid, North Kordofan. - SAF drone strikes in Nyala & Elfashir, reportedly targeting RSF sites & positions. #KeepEyesOnSudan

The Flotilla has achieved several remarkable victories. But the one thing that hits the hardest is that for the first time in years, Palestinians were able to go fishing due to the Flotilla keeping the IOF distracted. May it be the first of many wins ♥️

Woke up to see that my bank still charged me a late fee despite saying that it had been waved due to this being their error. So even more was taken out of my account than expected. Welp.

Blessing your screen with this thickness 😌
