A group in New York City
More from our program, now being broadcast at @montez_radio: A reading of “Proof of Existence,” an essay first published in The New York War Crimes (@nywarcrimes) radio.montezpress.com/#/show/3798
“The centerpiece is a convo between 6 student militants from last year’s encampments and Ruth Wilson Gilmore. Our own ironic reversal: gather a bunch of students banned from campus and/or brutalized by their own schools, and let them have a class with the best teacher we know.”
🚨NEW🚨 Five hours of audio, programmed by us for @montez_radio, is now live. Featuring: ✊Ruth Wilson Gilmore + student militants for Palestine ✊An interview with Alberto Toscano ✊A reading by @nywarcrimes ✊New music by Bobby Beethoven and 7038634357 And more!
We unequivocally reject this line of argument from AOC, as should the broader Palestine movement and the Left. Israel is able to continue its genocide unabated precisely because of the endless flow of both offensive and defensive weaponry to its arsenal. That is because every…
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment does nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza. Of course I voted against it. What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Palestinians to…
EXPOSED: A new dossier from @wawog_now reveals material and ideological ties between Israel and journalists, editors, and executives of The New York Times. Whether serving in the IOF or taking money from pro-Israel consultancies, the staff at the Times is compromised.
Le clickbait, c’est magnifique

“All domination has bad conscience—i.e., rulers have always had to whisper when speaking to one another.” Horkheimer
There has been a lot of unthoughtful grandstanding about Zohran's supposed retreat from abolitionist positions. But the question of what an abolitionist politics means today is open & fraught.
Pig-gratifying bullshit: “Police are critical to creating public safety across the city” “My proposal was born out of conversations with rank-and-file officers” “My desire is for the police to be able to do their jobs” “We’re sustaining the headcount of the police department”
Trying this new template out: Does Rikers Island have a right to exist? Do Confederate statues have a right to exist?
WELKER: Do you think billionaires have a right to exist? MAMDANI: I don't think we should have billionaires because it is so much money in a moment of such inequality and ultimately what we need more of is equality across the city and across the state and country and I look…
I am shocked and appalled that someone in a punk band would wish death upon a harmless occupying military force
Jerry Coyne spat on protestors at the encampment last year.
Hate speech (but legal speech) from my angry UChicago Div School colleague. Still, I call it out as an odious and disgusting call for violence.
You’re all fucking nuts. “Abundance,” “popularism”—your ideas are genuinely too empty to even disprove
