Great piece, and “I’m not a hater based on vibes. I’m a hater based on facts” is especially a banger.

NZ’s right wing government wants to saddle uni students $10k + additional debt having given their landlords approx $3 billion in tax cuts at the expense of govt coffers. This is Boomer death drive politics

The Policing Amendment Bill must be scrapped, because if it passes, then it will lead to clamp downs on protest in Aotearoa like what happened in New South Wales when equivalent legislation was passed. www.rnz.co.nz/news/crime-a...

I interviewed @chanda.blacksky.app about her new book, The Edge of Space-Time. We discussed cosmic wonder, the mythology of genius, Deep Space Nine, and thinking beyond false narratives and manufactured inevitabilities. If your brain is stuck in the churn of bad news, you'll want to check this out.

Thank you to all the wonderful people who attended our event w/ Kathi Weeks and Sophie Lewis, discussing Weeks's book 'Abolition Archives, Feminist Futures.' It was a profound and provocative discussion by two brilliant thinkers, who we were grateful to have been able to host. Recording up soon!

On April 28 10am (NZ time) Dr Kiri West from the University of Auckland will be giving a seminar in my program on "Resisting Colonial Threats to Thinking in the age of AI". Zoom registration details below

Everything for Everyone made me the person I am today. It's powerful and lovely and so incredibly thoughtful. I hope you enjoy! @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social & M. E. O'Brian did something truly special and foundational. There's also some cool follow-ups here: www.commonnotions.org/project-2052...

Just finished reading @lalouverouge.bsky.social book and absolutely loved it. Really cool to read further engagement with her work at @theflytrapmedia.com !

I agree with this and it's something for which community groups should already be developing concrete plans. I think reparations are already due.

So excited for this new book by Kathi Weeks!!

“How many of these gentle people have I helped to kill just by paying my taxes?" June Jordan, 1984

There you go. An overt technofascist Trump ally will now own CBS, CNN, HBO, Paramount, Warner Brothers, Discovery, and a big chunk of TikTok

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

When they propose spending increases on violence work, you can treat that as a big pot of money that should be given to life affirming things instead.

probably should abolish the police at the same time just to be safe

People Against Prisons Aotearoa invites you to support us in calling on the Department of Corrections to give people in prisons appropriate clothing and hygienic supplies on Sunday 16 November from 1PM outside Auckland Region Womens Corrections Facility. www.facebook.com/events/68706...

No efforts to reform policing have ever been successful because the police cannot be reformed - they are enemies of equality that we must struggle against and overcome.

The massive cover-up of allegations made against former Deputy Commissioner Jevon McSkimming gets right at key contradictions in policing itself. The police exist in order to maintain social order - but that social order is fundamentally unjust.

The Department of Corrections is failing to provide people basic necessities like hygenic bedding, underwear, socks, shoes and thermals. This is a breach of human rights and a failure to care for those in state care. Sign our petition: our.actionstation.org.nz/petitions/ge...

ah two of my faves, what a treat!!! my fav things I’ve read this year are def enemy feminisms, the politics of emotional life, and everything for everyone: an oral history of the New York commune 2052-2072 (also the main subjects of my lectures/conversations/monologues over the last six months)

So called "prison riots" are a last resort protest against intolerable, inhumane conditions. We need an investigation and full transparency around what prompted this. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Experimental philosophy

Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.

Week in Review: Humour mixed with anger at the first day of a 'people's select committee' on the Government's controversial pay equity changes.

Those concerned about violence might want to start with violence against immigrants, by ICE here, by illegal deportations to gulags and third countries, the violence against so many federal departments, against the law, the climate, the public lands, waters, civil rights, reproductive rights...

Every time they say “we can’t afford that,” remember: they could afford armored tanks, a dictators birthday parade, and enough tear gas to choke a city. They just don’t want you fed, safe, or alive.

organizers from the Gaza Freedom Flotilla has announced those aboard the Madleen have been abducted by the Israeli army, and the aid resources aboard taken

carceral realism: it is easier to imagine the end of america than the end of cops?

Huge win for the TEU which is now a P@lest!ne Solidarity Union. 🇵🇸
