Kim Kelly talks “Solidarity as Self Defense” w @jordantcamp.bsky.social for @conjuncture.bsky.social

"If you want to go back to the old wobbly maxim--an injury to one is injury to all--you got to mean it," @kimkelly.bsky.social tells @jordantcamp.bsky.social in the new episode of Conjuncture. They discuss labor, solidarity, and her book, Fight Like Hell: trinitysocialjustice.com/kim-kelly-on...

In the forthcoming episode of @conjuncture.bsky.social, I speak with @kimkelly.bsky.social about the @sbworkersunited.org strike, solidarity, and the challenges of the moment. @cheatherton.bsky.social and I will release in new year. Stay tuned! www.instagram.com/reel/DS0Vpbu...

JOB!!! Jewish Currents is searching for a new Editor in Chief! This is a pretty important role, and I hope there is a diverse applicant pool. Being Jewish is NOT a requirement. As an advisory board member with no say in the hire, I hope especially that those who are POC and/or trans will apply!

Meanwhile, check out @cheatherton.bsky.social new interview with David McNally @redprof.bsky.social on international and working class history, slavery, and capitalism: trinitysocialjustice.com/david-mcnall.... 2/2

Got the chance to speak with fierce labor reporter @kimkelly.bsky.social for upcoming Conjuncture. We discuss the ongoing @sbworkersunited.org strike, the role of labor in the struggle against fascism, and her book Fight Like Hell: The Untold History of the Labor Movement. We'll release in 2026! 1/2

"Those who engineer authoritarian state regime projects are eager to suppress this [abolitionist] history," David McNally tells @cheatherton.bsky.social in the new Conjuncture. They discuss his book Slavery and Capitalism @ucpress.bsky.social. Check out here: trinitysocialjustice.com/david-mcnall...

Jamil Al Amin, formerly known as H. Rap Brown has passed. Jamil was a political prisoner, an Imam & leader in the Islamic community, chairman of SNCC, Minster of Justice in the Black Panther Party. A revolutionary & a target of COINTELPRO and U.S. police agencies. Rest in Power

It’s truly scary how few mainstream publications are willing to publish working class voices and perspectives (let alone leftist ones), and every one we lose is yet another blow to the fragile hope for a better world

They might need to put a content/trigger warning on these images of Hurricane Melissa approaching Jamaica. I can’t just say “thoughts and prayers” I’m battling tears and panic. To everyone counting the hours and tracking latitude/longitude…I see you. ❤️‍🩹🇯🇲🇭🇹🇨🇺✊🏾

Excited for this event on Policing and Counterinsurgency ft @chenjerai.bsky.social, @stschrader1.bsky.social, & @cheatherton.bsky.social next Thursday at NYU! Info & RSVP here: as.nyu.edu/research-cen...

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

Happy John Brown’s Raid day to all who celebrate

“Fuck them kids.” That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated. Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.” This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

Assata died as an elder, living in freedom, not a captive. That's the beauty.

Just catching up with this episode, highly recommend it: Stuart Hall, Palestinian geographies, the role of the students at neoliberal universities, and conjunctural analysis of settler colonialism/capitalism 🔽 Hashem Abushama, University of Oxford @cheatherton.bsky.social, Trinity College

Sickening. Every journalist in America should think deeply about the fact that most American politicians are willing to accept and indeed facilitate the murder of our colleagues.

Just caught up with this conversation, and I'm glad I did. It's excellent!

🚨 RED ALERT 🚨 Israeli forces imprisoned & beat Chris Smalls, US labor leader, after capturing the @freedomflotilla.bsky.social ship Handala on Saturday. Every union member, every labor leader who took pictures with Chris, should be speaking out NOW! DEMAND CHRIS BE SAFELY RELEASED & RETURNED HOME

It’s worse than “Gaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It’s that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.

Du Bois on what these assholes were really like

This new policy basically means all immigrants have no due process rights and can be detained indefinitely. Once again like the student detentions and like CECOT, the Trump administration is using immigration detention, which both parties built up, as a testing ground for its authoritarianism...

“The news media is describing the operation as an ominous crackdown, but National Guard sources tell me that it was a botched laughingstock.” losers

Morehouse and Spelman AAUP chapters are proud to host the Summer Institute on our campuses in Atlanta this year. First time the meeting will be held at an HBCU. And on the heels of new AAUP-AFT leadership committing REAL RESOURCES to organizing HBCU campus workers. Let’s go!

Walter Rodney: “I do not believe that it is remotely possible in this country that the enemies of the people can extinguish and put out the humanity which resides in us. PEOPLES POWER, NO DICTATOR!!"

Long live Walter Rodney!

Incredibly proud of this conversation with Hashem Abushama. We discuss Fanon, Stuart Hall, and Palestine as the barricade against rising fascism in the current conjuncture. Watch or listen to Conjuncture: YouTube: youtu.be/QEpCKNUzWHc Podcast: creators.spotify.com/pod/show/tri... Happy May Day!

“When a ceasefire is announced, I will just run. No one ask me where. I myself don’t even know. I will just run, and run. …the important thing is to arrive at a quiet place: a place that allows me to weep for a long time.”

Was proud to sign this. Hope you'll join me. scholarsagainstwar.org/statement/ho...

"'After the bombing, after the coup, no one could stand here to look at the ruins. If you did, you were suspect. Did you grieve for Allende?' They grieved, heads down, hands in pockets, moving along, glancing up, a blackened balcony in the corner of the eye." -from Martín Espada's "Not Here"
