From playing Indian to the Great Replacement Theory, colonial identity is wrapped up in contradiction. Ibram X Kendi and I discussed the ways our projects intersect.

Finished this today, perfect timing if you ask me. Frustrating, crushing, but ultimately hopeful. Well worth the time.📚 @ibramxk.bsky.social

A new study from the Howard University Institute for Advanced Study found that 48 of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence, or nearly 86%, directly profited from slavery. This is 7 more signers than previously known. My latest @theemancipator.org. theemancipator.org/2026/07/02/i...

I’m pretty stingy with 5⭐️ and I’ve read 8 already this year which is probably a record for me. It’s a tough call - either East of Eden or Chain of Ideas.

“Great replacement theory has concocted . . . A war on white people. A war on Christians. A war on heterosexuals.” On men, the family, the West. On Christmas. Chain of Ideas. Ibram Kendi.

So you don’t think that Great Replacement Theory, as described by Ibram X. Kendi, is an ascendant ideology on the right (and elsewhere)? The just take a peek at the discourse swirling around other social media platforms about today’s SCOTUS decision on birthright citizenship.

In Chain of Ideas, Ibram X. Kendi argues that the Great Replacement Theory is *the* driving ideology behind this new reactionary authoritarianism. He makes a good case for it here: www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/a-chain-of...

Many people still don’t understand the most basic truth about human beings: our liberation is interconnected.

Finished Ibram X. Kendi’s book, Chain of Ideas. Thank you! He links the rise of right wing authoritarianism around the world to the “fire hose of disinformation” that floods our feeds & draws a straight line back to Hitler. Fully understanding our crossroads will help move us in the right direction.

After all its support recently for White Christian claims, the Supreme Court ruled a Black Rastafarian did not have the religious right to keep his locs. The Court rejected his plea for damages after a Louisiana prison cut his locs he had been growing for 20 years. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Ironically just finished “Chain of Ideas” on Juneteenth. Cannot stress enough that it’s the most important thing I’ve read in this neonazi era.

Book recommendation: Ibram X. Kendi CHAIN of IDEAS The Origins of our Authoritarian Age I have read 40%, and find the book well researched, readable and informative.

Wishing a very Happy Father’s Day to all the fellas who are fathering, especially my fellow girl dads. 🫶🏿

A quote from my new book.

Today, as my newest book is released, nearly three-fourths of the world’s people live under authoritarian rule. Many of those authoritarian rulers are pushing a conspiracy theory that tells people that their life, their job, their status, their nation is all being lost, slipping away.

Those who defend and downplay anti-Black racism today almost certainly would have defended and downplayed chattel slavery back then. The logic of degrading and blaming Black people is similar.

There are people who don’t celebrate Juneteenth just like there were people who didn’t celebrate the abolition of chattel slavery. Don’t mind those ideological descendants of enslavers and slaves. Today, is our day.

The Trump administration asked a judge to stop a program in Evanston (IL) that provided reparations to direct descendants of Black people who were undermined from amassing and passing on wealth by the town’s racist housing policies between 1919 and 1969. apnews.com/article/illi...

To be clear: Even if his caregivers shoplifted and drove “in the direction” of officers—as alleged by the police who usually cover up their murders with lies—the 1-year-old did not deserve to die.

With anti-Black racism, no Black life is safe. Not even a baby. Not even a baby. Not even a baby. His name: Kohen Kartier Wiley. www.mississippifreepress.org/mississippi-...

One of the oldest racist ideas about Black women is they are men. Enslavers deployed this idea to justify forcing Black women into the same heavy and backbreaking field labor as enslaved Black men. Today, racist theorists have used this idea to degrade prominent Black women, such as Michelle Obama.

White supremacist influencers are using TikTok “tradwife” content to repackage the Great Replacement conspiracy theory for women, turning motherhood and “traditional values” into a gateway for neo-Nazi and white nationalist radicalization.

Racism is a virus of predatory policies, practices, and ideas that harm humanity. –Ibram X. Kendi (Chain of Ideas, 2026)

Book Shelf. Chain of Ideas: The Origins of Our Authoritarian Age by Ibram X. Kendi, 2026. Recently read this intense and thought provoking book about "the great replacement" theory and how we can safeguard our democracy from MAGA racist authoritarian dystopia. #books #booksky #democracy #politics

The first trillionaire is more responsible for the spread of great replacement theory than perhaps anyone on earth. This isn’t a coincidence. Musk wants you to believe those other people are replacing you in the workplace; they are taking over; they are taking what’s yours.

It is imprecise to call the violence in Northern Ireland “anti-immigrant” violence. Mobs would not be rampaging if a White immigrant was accused of a knife attack instead of a Black Sudanese immigrant.

An afterlife of slavery: racist White people still expecting Black submission, still raging at Black defiance, still severely punishing Black kids and adults for defending themselves.

Racism results in Black children being treated like adults and Black adults being treated like children.

UMASS Amherst researchers found “while 39% of all white Americans agree that immigrants invade and colonize the U.S., 61% of white Americans who watch Fox News agree with this view.” theconversation.com/how-fox-news...

To be racist is to see peoples of color as eternal immigrants . . . To be racist is to see White people as eternal natives. –Ibram X. Kendi (Chain of Ideas, 2026)

Mansfield is the “Director of Research” at Policy Exchange, a UK think tank ideologically akin to the Heritage Foundation. Philp is a Conservative Party MP in the UK. Their posts exemplify what I call the inversion of antiracism in my new book, Chain of Ideas.

How it is that so many low and middle income White people do not understand that voting for the Republicans hasn’t improved their lives in decades?

Just so we are clear: It is a racist idea to call a group of human beings “aliens” or “animals.” Racist ideas dehumanize.

A new White House website. www.whitehouse.gov/aliens/ It is based on great replacement theory: that elites have been secretly enabling the “invasion” of “aliens” of color. The Trump administration projects itself as protecting the American people (to cover up its robbing of the American people).

In alignment with the Great Replacement framework articulated by @ibramxk.bsky.social in Chain of Ideas.

Public libraries. That’s the post.

@ibramxk.bsky.social gets deep into the chain of ideas undergirding Great Replacement Theory, which makes up a large part of the ideological foundation of the Trump Fascist Regime’s agenda. This theory is not a mere rhetorical device, but it has very real & often deadly, effects in the real world.

@ibramxk.bsky.social joins Refuse Fascism to discuss his latest book Chain of Ideas: The Origins of Our Authoritarian Age. He break down the Great Replacement theory, why terror is its logical conclusion, and much more. Give it a listen and let us know your thoughts!

Just finished this incredibly powerful and important book. It's a very tough read and can leave one feeling hopeless about the state of our world, but regardless it's essentially important. Thank you to @ibramxk.bsky.social for brilliant work!

picked up Stamped From the Beginning by @ibramxk.bsky.social today oh, my delight at seeing the extensive citations at the back ❤️

With everything going on …xenophobia, racism etc, knowing the background might help us to combat the horrific propaganda machine. “Chain of Ideas” is a worthwhile read.

#OnThisDay in 1925, Malcolm X was born! In honor of his legacy, we've created a teacher's guide for MALCOLM LIVES! by @ibramxk.bsky.social - including an activity to help students highlight key moments from his life that show transformation and resistance. tinyurl.com/mvuacktt #edusky

The opposite of racist is antiracist. But Republicans believe the opposite of racist is “not racist” and policy is “racial”/“race-based” or “race neutral.” This language both reinforces and denies racism.

That single quote contains several links of what @ibramxk.bsky.social has dubbed the “Chain of Ideas.” Most important book published this year

“Without remigration there will be no liberation,” Renaud Camus, a French novelist, argued in You Will Not Replace Us! #chainofideas #greatreplacementtheory

Every time a conservative opens their mouth these days I’m reminded of @ibramxk.bsky.social’s recent book Chain of Ideas.

They’re burning books. Yesterday, Jake Lang, a GOP candidate for U.S. Senate, burned a copy of Antiracist Baby. He also burned the Quran near the Islamic Center of America in Michigan. He previously burned the Talmud. 🎥 @bgonthescene
