ASA member Chandra Russo @chandrarusso.bsky.social @colgate.edu describes a new generation of white antiracist efforts and argues that these groups reorient our understanding of antiracism away from individual morality and toward collective action. @stanfordpress.bsky.social
A powerful new piece from Nikole Hannah- Jones www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/m...
I write about this legacy a bit as well in my book www.sup.org/books/sociol...

Even if you know this history, the writing and analysis is brilliant. Recommend.

This book tells a bit of that history. It also shows what skilled organizers are doing to grow this work at the scale our movements and moment require. I hope it might contribute to our collective courage and imagination.
Most have not been murdered for their commitments. Some have. May they rest in power.
Renee Good and Alex Pretti were executed by the state for enacting cross-racial solidarity in the face of racialized terror and governmental impunity. They stand in a long tradition of those who have refused the enticements of white supremacy to fight for multiracial democracy.
This week is the official release date of White Flank: Organizing White People for Racial Justice. The timing is painful but perhaps important. (more in comments)

So much courage. Everywhere.
Done. Super simple; I dialed the number and after they tried to tell me all the other ways I could contact Hochul, I pressed 1 to leave a message.
NY friends. We have something concrete and urgent to do:
“please call Governor Hochul right now and tell her to support and sign New York 4 All, which would prevent state and local agencies from collaborating with ICE”

A stack of books in a box. The title reads White Flank: Organizing White People for Racial Justice
This book was built on the wisdom and experiences of organizers who have dedicated their lives to fighting for multiracial democracy. They give me hope in these dark times. Advanced copies arrived today.
You two, @sarahljaffe.bsky.social and @vivaharehills.bsky.social: This podcast, which I discovered like last week, has been such a companion to me. And I keep recommending it.
Thank you for this gift of vulnerability and wisdom. Tis the perfect season to have you in my ears.💕🙏🏻
The media trots out the "deplorable" comment from a decade ago to castigate the left. Once a week now Trump implies that the military should destroy democrats, and it is just how things are.
🚨🚨 My dear friend and fellow academic, the Palestinian American sociologist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social has been taken by the Cook County Sheriff near Chicago. They have not mirandized her. Please signal boost. All eyes on Broadview for Eman and the community she was defending 🚨🚨
I presume only seeking CUNY and SUNY faculty sign ons?
She’s super important to the book!
Fascism only works if it has a social base. I wrote a book about efforts across the country to organize predominantly white communities away from this base. How? By showing them their shared stake in fighting for racial and economic justice. The book is out Jan 2026. @surj.org
😂😂😂 should I be concerned by my own humanity (or lack thereof) that constructing a Turing machine was one of my most beloved assignments from undergrad?!?
This looks like a great opportunity! @ucsbkalfou.bsky.social is such a fantastic journal.
Powerful and beautifully rendered reflection from @kutalik.bsky.social
