The most beautiful way to star my Mondays, reading Sulagana Biswas' column "Beat The Monday Blues" in The Telegraph - T2. Here's a poignant homage to the music that sustained my 90s, and at least for me, kept my dreams alive in a world that was mostly full of bad humans.

Here’s a piece led by Fateme Ejaredar (my doctoral student) and co-authored by me on the impact of Israel’s war on iran on the diaspora. theconversation.com/iranian-cana...

Another great column by Sulgana Biswas - this time about the iconic disco number, I Feel Love. t2online.in/music/wester...

By my bestie, Sulagana Biswas about a timeless protest song. More relevant than ever. www.telegraphindia.com/t2/not-monda...

Shameful

This necro-State needs to be held accountable for uncountable war crimes. But attacking and abducting peaceful volunteers for bringing aid to people that are being starved to death…how? www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

students and AI can both write shitty papers, but only students can write great papers. That's like the only lesson that they need to know when they decide to use it

Thank you Aoife. Honoured.

Sharing on behalf of my @cunygcsociology.bsky.social friend/colleague Ruth Milkman who isn't on social media. Here's her statement re a problematic censoring of an obituary for Michael Burawoy to appear in ASA Footnotes #soctwitter #socsky #sociology docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The level of anxiety and sadness I am feeling about the escalation of India's war with Pakistan is unsettling. What is this madness? No one wins in a war!

Some grad students I work with have been trying to house a young newcomer from Cameroon who got kicked out of his home. He has no support in Calgary and has faced extreme anti-black racism in the Calgary shelter systems. PLEASE consider donating. gofund.me/4721bd16

The third year release anniversary of #theopportunitytrap! I had painstakingly made all references to Trump in the past tense in my final edits. These pages feel sureal. But here we are! Humbling realities.

This was a perfect interview by Muhammad Shehada. If you want a quick update on what’s been happening in Gaza, this is it.

If you do not act to protest Columbia admin collaborating with ICE & Trump to illegally detain Mahmoud Khalil, you are consenting to your campus being next. You are giving a green light to your admin to hand over your students and colleagues. Enough is enough. ACT NOW.

A federal judge in New York has blocked any efforts by President Donald Trump’s administration to deport Mahmoud Khalil.

Dystopia alert: Seems like we are living in what looks like the Man in the High Castle world! Did not think I would witness this in my lifetime. The post-World War II progressive blip will be over so soon is incredulous but that is where we are. We humans and our humanity truly sucks.

She will never give us Greenland.

The “Golden Age” can begin with this.

The man is pissed and I have not seen pissed in the last 7 years. Good for him. www.youtube.com/live/eT_ePmJ...

The Oscar-winning documentary, made by a team of Palestinian-Israeli filmmakers, follows the displacement of rural Palestinian communities in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

For once Oscars did the right thing!!! No Other Land!! #FreePalestine!!

This is unthinkable!! Racial facism on gross display! www.nytimes.com/article/trum...

Canadian academic colleagues: I’m calling on you to resist the “Canada First” policy in academic hires. This is now being implemented in ways that is anti-immigrant and xenophobic to the extent that we are asked to not even consider stellar international students who are getting PhDs here.

Dystopia is real!

A large study of 30,000 adults diagnosed with ADHD in the U.K. found women with ADHD died roughly nine years younger than women without a diagnosis. Men had about a seven-year shorter lifespan.

"Trump is no longer in office, but the present and the future remain Trumpian. The discursive core of American politics has shifted to become more populist, combative, nativist and antiminority, which has impacted all people of color, including all categories of immigrants of color. (page 241)"

@pallavib.bsky.social wrote an award winning book about this—the gendered and radicalized implications of the dependent visa programs. Check out The Opportunity Trap @nyupress.bsky.social

Bursting with pride this morning! @chetkay.bsky.social now an ABD did a phenomenal job in her candidacy exams, written and orals. And she had the most brilliant and kind committee of feminist scholars. Thank you Drs. @firuzehsv.bsky.social @aducey.bsky.social, Nadia Kim and Cheryl Teelucksingh.
