Study, organize, build, build in secret, build in private, create, create something that will outlast America — Amiri Baraka
The real weakest link has always been those who become (or aspire to become) part of the bourgeoisie and war machine. This is true regardless of race, gender or class background.
I don’t know why, but this week I’ve been feeling more deeply just how much I’m not cut out for this individualistic, materialistic society. And it’s not just what I see in others—it’s the contradictions I feel within myself, too. Many people define freedom as personal autonomy…
I hope faculty who are removing race, gender, and other targeted topics off their syllabi understand that: 1) cowardice will not save you, and 2) you are increasing the scrutiny on your colleagues who cannot or will not abandon these research areas. Have some damn solidarity.
What are y’all reading this weekend? I’m starting a new rotation of books after a few weeks off of writing and read.

Five years after George Floyd was murdered, the state isn’t just doubling down — it’s building an entire war machine to crush our communities. Some say Trump is borrowing from the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini’s authoritarian playbook. But the truth is, these tactics…
“That means not just resisting state violence but taking responsibility for building the world we actually want. It means feeding people. Holding space for healing. Creating alternatives to policing. Protecting trans kids. Fighting fascism in our schools and streets. And refusing…

“If we built this country under chains, imagine what we could build in freedom. But freedom doesn’t come from waiting. It comes from organizing, resisting, and refusing to let our labor, our lives, or our liberation be commodified again. …”
My brother, @glopezoroz, and I just co-wrote a piece published in @inequalityorg: Does It Mean to Build a Country That Was Never Meant for You? We need to create a world free from the clutches of empire. That starts with organizing and resisting. inequality.org/article/what-d…
