The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

We need action and sanctions, not just statements 'condemning' Israel. Israel has denied food, water & fuel to 2 Million people & bombed them incessantly for nearly two years. People are on the brink of starvation & the health system is destroyed. Truly shameful bbc.com/news/article...

In the most ambitious multilateral action since the start of Gaza genocide, a coalition of cross-regional states gathered in Bogotá has agreed to six coordinated measures to restrain Israel’s assault. Read their full statement online.

🎙️Lessons from the #Emergency: "The main lesson should have been that rule of law must be strengthened... In Southasia, the rule of law is somewhat contained because leaders certainly do illegal things, but retain some legitimacy," says Christophe Jaffrelot

#India for sale in #Delhi at Bahrisons. I so wish I could be in India for the launch.

I'm grateful to tell the story of my great-grandfather, a lascar who drowned on the job, and my family migration to Mumbai, Sydney & NYC, alongside stories of today's migrant workers in those cities struggling to stay afloat amid precarity & climate disasters.

for no reason, an excerpt from "let this radicalize you"…

Please god, let no one pry the fingers off the phones of these man-childs.

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

5 years. Since Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd, US cops have killed 6,000 - 12,000+ people — “setting new records for deadly police violence nationwide” Police violence surged most *in Trump states* and states that refused to enact ‘reforms’ policedata.org www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Climate and labour injustice in urban India are the product of the same framework of capitalist exploitation. This is a superb piece on emergent red-green alliances in Delhi this past May Day 2025: theleaflet.in/environment/...

Haaretz's editorial "We Cannot Look Away From the Images of Children Killed in Gaza" - Cue 1, 2, 3, American and Israeli Zionists calling Israel's major newspaper "antisemitic".

Look at this video: a *huge* crowd of Vermonters swaying alongside Mohsen right after he was freed, singing "We Shall Overcome" Signs reading "Hands off our students" & "free speech" are peppered in between large Palestine flags

In this incredibly dark time, it's been breath-giving to teach Environmental Justice to graduate and PhD students. Here's a reunion of students past and present at Rock Creek park this past weekend!

@katrinamillerphd.bsky.social & I took a look at over 400 active National Science Foundation grants that got killed in the past few days. Here's our story (gift link) nyti.ms/4jp4aOx

If you want to grasp the true moral rot endemic liberal Zionism, this Chotiner interview with Deborah Lipstadt makes everything all too clear. www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

Honored to win the Carnegie Fellowship for my project that centers the costs of borders here, in Palestine, & elsewhere & argues that their violence not only dehumanizes those who move against them but erodes the rights of all within the nation that built them 1/ www.carnegie.org/awards/honor...

The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who: –has green card –was Columbia Buddhist club president –saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier –said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

Now more than ever, we need to connect dots between far-right regimes, their supremacist and fascistic agendas, and their fueling of grossly unequal racial ecologies. Honored to be delivering a keynote explaining what "climate scapegoating" is to a dedicated group of graduate student writers at SIS.

For @truthout.org I wrote about Mahmoud Khalil’s detention, how Trump is capitalizing on the normalization of incarcerating immigrants to enforce his creeping fascist agenda, and why this moment calls for us to bridge across our movements for social change. truthout.org/articles/kha...
