Great piece from Musa Springer on Walter Rodney, decolonization, and abolition hoodcommunist.org/2025/08/14/w...

Loved this post from Nicole Pereira for Polyester: "While for some, research is synonymous with tranquility: jotting paper, a chai-scented candle, and ceramic tea bowls. For others, it is a source of power, an obligation ahead of big decision-making events, educated conversations, and referendums."

"Yet, one should be hopeful about the ascension of worker-owned, independently-operated media outlets on the rise, whose mere existence is an act of defiance against the forces of censorship that are present in the nation’s media and journalism industry." Thank you @taylorcrumpton.bsky.social!

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.
