My latest in the new edition of Hammer and Hope.

doesn't make the headline for some reason but the Trump administration confirmed on the record that they are running an explicitly whites only refugee program, if you're wondering how things are going in the year 2025

very important read and follow @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social who is one of those who Gets It

Please join me this Thursday at noon EST for our second session of The Civic Forum. We'll have a discussion with @keeanga.bsky.social on race, Black History, and the MAGA movement. Registration link here:

It's a good thing there is nothing else happening in the world while we spend 3 days talking about the racisms of the NYT

COMPLICIT: Airbnb, Alphabet, Amazon, BlackRock, Booking, BP, Caterpillar, Chevron, Christian Friends of Israeli Communities, Company LLC, HP, IBM, Keller Williams Realty, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, MIT, Palantir, Pacific Investment Management, Vanguard #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #USA #Genocide

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

🧵Solidarity with Francesca Albanese. She is facing a barrage of lies and smears + the Trump Admin is calling on the UN to fire her. Why? Because there is simply no arguing with her devastating new report on the companies profiting from genocide. Stay tuned for our interview on @zeteo.com.

True story.

Hope and solidarity won tonight, and will win again in November. Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their consultants

Bill Clinton please endorse my enemies

a former governor scion of a political dynasty losing to a 33 year old is a world historic crashout

Holy shit

Coming this fall, a 2nd edition of How We Get Free: Black Feminism and the Combahee River Collective…with a new ten thousand word introduction and a new interview with Angela Davis.

The thing is, even for what most (white) people take as their model of effective protest, contemporaneous polling showed that most white people still felt it was harmful to the cause. In other words, the finger-waggers will never approve of a protest, even if it remains nonviolent.

In The Straight State, Margot Canaday reveals how the government enforced sex & gender conformity & relegated gays to second-class citizenship. For a limited time, you can get this compelling #audiobook for just $2.99/£2.99 nearly everywhere you buy audiobooks. press.princeton.edu/books/audio/...

"Tenants in Kansas City are declaring victory after eight months on rent strike—the longest such action in the city’s history...an outcome that lends momentum to efforts to adapt labor union strategies for housing fights." inthesetimes.com/article/rent...

🚨🚨ESCALATION: Stephen Miller has tweeted that there is an "organized insurrection" against the United States, at 2:26 PST. This could mean Trump will formally invoke the Insurrection Act, which would legally allow him to deploy those Marines on LA streets (last done in 1992)

This is the spirit of Los Angeles. This is California. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. #FreeDavidEndRaids

"Working people everywhere should see this as an attack on working-class people, and they should all unite in solidarity to repel these attacks against our community. And so, again, we’ve proven time and time again, when we organize ourselves, we can defend ourselves." -Ron Gochez, Unión del Barrio

CNN: We have breaking news now from the Pentagon. CNN can now report that roughly 500 Marines are being mobilized in response to the protests in Los Angeles.

No more urgent conversation for this moment: @keeanga.bsky.social and @asha-rrs.bsky.social offer a critical reflection on summer 2020 rebellion: “The pressing question is how we went from twenty-six million people on the streets to a fascist in the White House?” www.thedigradio.com/podcast/from...

Academic freedom in the United States has found itself periodically under siege, but the current attacks from the federal government raise a new level of alarm. nyer.cm/u405qvQ

This May Day I will be in conversation with the incomparable @keeanga.bsky.social at UC Santa Cruz about Trump's attacks on working people -- and what DEI and racial justice has to do with it. Come join us.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Steve Kerr: "I believe in academic freedom. I think it's crucial for all of our institutions to be able to handle their own business the way they want to. And they should not be shaken down and told what to teach, what to say, by our government. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."

There are few people whose work has meant more to me than @keeanga.bsky.social's, and I’m beyond honored to be in conversation with her this Thursday, April 17th, at 7pm CT/8pm ET. Free copies of There Is No Place for Us will be given to randomly selected Zoom attendees!
