@marisollebron.bsky.social this is so exciting!

Berkeley folks: I’ll be at @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social tomorrow at noon discussing my self-translations & my translations of Wingston González & Nicole Cecilia Delgado!

"The average voter believes a SNAP recipient gets $20/day, more than 3 times the actual amount of $6."

Friends— here it is. Updated & expanded thanks to the space afforded to me in the @therumpus.net & the guidance of the brilliant @roxanegay.bsky.social’s edits. The win centers Muslims humanity — but what does that mean in a country that rejects that? therumpus.net/2025/11/05/z...

Led by David J. Vázquez and others, our newest Provocations explores Renee Hudson's book: “Latinx Studies practitioners have long grappled with our field imaginary, and Hudson’s book offers one of the richest elaborations of what the field might become.” asapjournal.com/review/provo...

My first academic article is out in the journal Latino Studies! Read if you're interested in performance, memory, and Latinx identity formation. Thanks to my colleagues, friends, and partner for supporting me in this publication process! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Canadian paperback. Coming soon-ish.

really wild to think that there are 3 books out there in the world, by me.

Have a piece in this volume, due out later this month.

Most excellent thread on making ICE melt.

Third book in our (with @samanthapinto.bsky.social) Black Feminism in the Edge Series ( @dukepress.bsky.social) comes out in March! Congrats to Justin Mann (and check out the gorgeous cover). www.dukeupress.edu/breaking-the...

Love how, for the New York Times, using LLMs is just this value-neutral thing that everyone will eventually do, but being transgender makes you too biased to write about anything ever

Co-editing with Jesse Alemán (University of New Mexico) a special issue of Pasados Journal titled “Against the Past/Contra Pasados.” CFP Link below, submissions due January 15, 2026! drive.google.com/file/d/1S_7u...

When you've got people listening to My Heart is a Chainsaw and you're handing out Jade Daniels Stickers...cause we are all addicted. @sgj.bsky.social always. Grab em: thatnerdchick.com/final-girl-b...

Between a "No Other Land" crew mate filming himself being killed by a settler, to a journalist being killed by airstrikes he was covering minutes earlier, I'm not sure how much more televised Israel's genocide can be

One of the best things I ever digitized was Walker's very violent abolitionist children's book by the author of THE BRANDED HAND curiosity.lib.harvard.edu/slavery-abol...

Famously, punk rock, hip hop, and the counterculture didn't involve any humans and never took place irl.

“What is a feminist theory of exhaustion?…We are exhausted from feminism but decidedly not taking a ‘break’ from its demands. We are doing it tired.” Incredible essay by Jennifer C. Nash & Samantha Pinto in @differences.bsky.social. Free to read: read.dukeupress.edu/differences/...

One of my favorite artists, David Antonio Cruz, asked me to write an essay for his recent exhibition catalogue. His stunning work prompted some thoughts on queer intimacy, slackness, ease, & softly being with those we love.

oh, WOW:

This is actually extremely noteworthy.

Plant nerds, soil lovers, and book people, the advance reader copies of POPPY STATE: A LABYRINTH OF PLANTS AND A STORY OF BEGINNINGS have arrived. This book is written for those who dream of getting lost in a forest of words. 🌿🍃🌿🍃🌿🍃🌱

Our hearts are heavy for the grieving family of Jaime Alanis, who died from injuries sustained during a chaotic raid on Thursday. We will do everything we can to support them. We continue to work with the hundreds of farm worker families navigating the aftermath of this violent raid.

A philosophy professor was assaulted and abducted by ICE while protesting the agency's raid on a farm near his university.

I collected the best of my 2025 Revolutionary Nahuatl posts in a Medium article:

"Jonathan Caravello...was reportedly “piled on by multiple agents all at once” as “he tried to help a man in a wheelchair” who was having difficulty moving after...[ICE] agents threw canisters of tear gas" our colleague is still missing as of the last info I got dailynous.com/2025/07/12/p...

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in Los Angeles and California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.

We are so excited for this Special Issue of Feminist Theory on Intergenerational Feminisms to be officially out in August! Almost all of the essays, conversations, articles, and reflections are available individually online now, including our intro— @jennifercnash.bsky.social doi.org/10.1177/1464...

Damn, it looks just like the photos of the disappeared that were put up by relatives in the South American dictatorships

Check out this special issue I edited!

this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

The new chief justice of Mexico's Supreme Court started life as a goatherd in a remote Mixtec-speaking village in Oaxaca. I interviewed Hugo Aguilar Ortiz for this story: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/23/w...

Do you have a plan to keep ICE out if they come to your workplace? Drawing on both workplace and neighborhood organizing experience, Black Rose / Rosa Negra member Keith R. shares steps you can take today to organize against ICE in the workplace.

I've been writing about CPD tactical teams for over a year now because of the terror they inflict upon Chicago's south and west sides. The way these agents jumped out of their cars at people—same cop behavior. Sending these teams deeper into urban communities will get people killed.

Will they also support 🧊

Nezza sang the national anthem in Spanish at the L.A. Dodgers game on Saturday after a team representative allegedly told her not to and to sing in English. ‘I just felt like I needed to do it,’ the singer said. ‘Para mi gente.’

Fascism bad. New books good. www.rutgersuniversitypress.org/techno-orien...

Trump plans to spend $45 billion to expand ICE detention infrastructure. Here are the 41 corporations that have been selected to bid for a piece of the pie. Many are submitting proposals for temporary structures, like tent facilities built for music festivals. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

My latest in the Financial Times on the events of LA last weekend. No, LA was not burning and is not burning. The protests against ICE and Trump’s deportation regime were real, but as The Nation described them, the violence mostly came from a “police riot.” 1/4

For those who celebrate.

For TIME, I wrote about Pulse, and queer Latinx memory & futurity. time.com/7293713/puls...

ProPublica has it all wrong here. Just because Bukele has jailed 80,000 Salvadorans doesn't necessarily mean that they are all or even mostly gang members.

We feed you. They hunt us.

The downtown L.A. mural that was a prophetic backdrop to ICE street protests

Fuck yeah
