Israel strikes two schools in Iran, killing more than 50 people https://aje.news/mzgbb9

Right, the accusation was made because it tracked with their behavior and interests bsky.app/profile/adit...

for two years, columbia begged the nypd to brutalize & detain their students who organized for divestment. CU's admin made amply clear that they welcomed fascist intervention. now, these goons believe they can kidnap any of their students. this is what happens when you collaborate and capitulate!

The school president advised Columbia community members to not let federal agents into non-public areas of the campus.

This is no less a murder than those of Alex Pretti’s or Renée Good. Nurul Amin Shah Alam survived a genocide in his homeland, moved to the US as a refugee, and was murdered by CBP.

just became a monthly supporter of @jamhoor.org because in a world of ever-proliferating little mags, we could stand to see a lot more dedicated work on south asia and the potentials of its left

Forensic Architecture and Earshot have found in a joint investigation that Israeli occupation soldiers fired over 900 bullets within two hours, with 780+ of them directly aimed and at least 8 point blank, at a humanitarian aid convoy on March 23rd 2025.

It’s a great day to be woke, beloved, and well-funded by a hoard of mellon grants

The Atlantic piece on how the Mellon foundation is to blame for reactionaries defunding the humanities is a remarkable piece of blame shifting.

““the major choice faced by the intellectual is whether to be allied with the stability of the victors and rulers or—the more difficult path—to consider that stability as a state of emergency threatening the less fortunate with the danger of complete extinction.”

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

princeton dropping some horrid, imperiling, guidance today re ICE. don't listen to collaborators! if you see ice in princeton, tell everyone ! especially Resistencia en Acción's rapid response (640-466-2386) so the most vulnerable in this community (not students, but workers) are kept safe!!

horrific news. we are hosting a screening and a discussion with prisoner solidarity activists on Jan 30th. please join us to learn about the abuses in the Alabama prison system, and support currently incarcerated political prisoner Michael Kimble. www.workshops4gaza.com/calendar/the...

Nice and all, but enormously disrespectful to drape this man in the flag of the country whose sanctioned militia executed him.

Abolish ICE is not enough. It's not about training -- Ross who killed Renee Good was a TRAINER. It's not about body cams -- we saw Alex Pretti killed with our own eyes. We have to abolish the idea that violence ever made us safer, before it's too late. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

As we storm-prep here with our blankets and space-heaters and stocked fridges, I’m thinking about the TEN infants who have died of hypothermia this winter in Gaza. I’m donating the amount I spent in groceries this weekend to The Sameer Project (chuffed.org/project/1491...). I hope you do the same.

— Israel kills 3 journalists, including CBS contributor — AFP, the other impacted outlet, condemns killing & calls for investigation — CBS doesn't, instead peddles Israel's claim that they were targeting a group with "a drone affilliated with Hamas" Inside the Bari Weiss-led CBS response:

ICE murdered Maher Tarabishi’s son, Wael, by depriving him of his caregiver and now is refusing to let Maher attend his son’s funeral. Extraordinary practices of cruelty.

My loose info so far is that the Minneapolis General Strike today had about 80 unions sign on, and it might be one of the biggest labor actions in decades depending on your definition

I know @kerryhowley.bsky.social is at the top of her game & able to make choices many writers can't but oh my god does she make some capital-J journalists look stupid for fetishizing an objectivity that means "no conscience" & thinking that's what makes them good at the job nymag.com/intelligence...

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

Liam Ramos. Five years old. Just starting to understand temporality, to read, to tell stories about the world around him. The world should come to a screeching halt.

[statistical voice] abolish ice is a moderate position

Dazzling essay. Strong recommend.

Federal officials keep telling the public to stay away from their immigration enforcement actions and also keep brutally assaulting people in broad daylight, leaving the public the only ones to hold them accountable. The public does not trust DHS to behave civilly or legally.

Three years ago today, Georgia state police murdered Tortuguita as part of their drive to destroy the Weelaunee Forest and build a deadly police militarization center. Tort fought for a world without police and capitalism, and so should we. Viva, viva Tortuguita.

“What would such an antigenealogical, transcendent philology that I’ve called for here look like? One example might be found in Jennifer Scappettone’s Poetry After Barbarism.” Read @aditilrao.bsky.social’s review, new at PB.

On the 10th anniversary of his death, here's the last poem Rohith Vemula wrote, and a poem his life inspired by Meena Alexander. "One day you will find me in history / in the bad light, in the yellow pages."

"This is a verified page fundraising support for the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation, AFL-CIO and Working Partnerships' 2026 rapid response effort to meet the needs of impacted union members, worker center members, and their families..." workingpartnerships.betterworld.org/campaigns/su...

The pettiness is just unbelievable. 250 goats isn’t nothing but it’s a basically negligible bonus for these settlements while it probably financially ruined a bunch of Syrians

UPDATE ON THE BOYCOTT OF PEN AMERICA: The Writers Won. The boycott is lifted. Fuck yeah.

Grateful for this gorgeous analysis—also a rallying cry in a time of gloom: "Scappettone offers the ultimate rejoinder to both Auerbach & Said...[O]ur language—our home—must also be planetary & cosmic, escaping the entrapments that make an internationalized earth just another vestige of the state."

me in @publicbooks.bsky.social thinking through what a philology beyond liberalism might look like via one book which really shows us a path forward and one which very much so does not // the age of babel is dead, long live the age of the pentecost!

hi, political philosopher here! this is not funny, central banks only do this when they're in extreme distress

🚨 New footage shows explosions around Caracas, Venezuela, as parts of the city’s south near a major military base lost electricity. Low-flying aircraft were seen and heard from across the capital, according to Reuters.

who gives a shit about power levers. if you don't even attempt to start the process of impeachment, the fuck is the point of anything. "step on me daddy. please rig the next election, daddy" bsky.app/profile/squo...

Reminder that the UK is illegally withholding gold reserves essential to Venezuela’s economy. It has been looted from over and over: oil, gold, lithium . Blood is on the hands of not only the US regime but the whole west’s. Via @declassifieduk.org www.declassifieduk.org/why-is-venez...

Big congrats to the Nobel Committee for awarding the prize "for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy" just so she could immediately conspire with a foreign government to murder civilians on the high seas then invade and stage a coup.
