Book talks coming up in advance of pub day! Thanks to incredibly generous and supportive comrades for making these plans ❤️
New restrictions on movement and a deadly surge in settler violence in the occupied West Bank have raised fears that Israel is exploiting the war on Iran to accelerate its long-term goal of annexing the Palestinian territory. Here's how 🔗 www.newarab.com/analysis/und...
You absolutely don't ever have to hand it to Tucker Carlson.
Canadians! This is for us too! Preorder! Gelman was on @wajali.bsky.social podcast (see YouTube) this week and it is an essential listen for Canadians working to sustain public space for critical thinking about social justice, meaningful cosmopolitanism, and freedom from criminalization of speech.
The cooptation of leftist, liberatory ideas by racists, colonizers, and war machines who operate under the banner of liberalism is a defining feature of this era of collapse. Learning so much from those working in and with Iran. It's always the same shapes. www.facebook.com/share/v/1THH...
In south Lebanon, Israel is applying the Gaza playbook: mass displacement, razed villages, and permanently redrawing the physical and demographic landscape:
Afroman's epic lemon pound cake-based trolling of Adams County sheriff was on the syllabus for my course on police violence. It was good comic relief then & even better after a lawsuit. Watch the music video (youtube.com/watch?v=9xxK5yyecRo) in the interests of justice. local12.com/news/local/j...
There's a chapter in my book with @prisonculture.bsky.social, Let This Radicalize You, where we get into the pitfalls of pedestaling organizers. Good organizers don't want this. In fact, it can be really harmful to them, in addition to undermining our sense of collective responsibility and potential

The multinational force is expected to include around 5,000 soldiers from Indonesia, who will make up the bulk of the deployment, alongside dozens of troops from Kazakhstan, Morocco, Albania and Kosovo
As an Arab, insofar as these people are in charge, I'm not participating in a single other thing. I'm on panels coming up. I will not be attending.
Enough is enough.
Susan Abulhawa describes Zionist violence in words that don't sanitize it, and that demand we confront it. We need her, existentially. Mamdani, fire whoever gave you this lethal advice.
Trump claims the country of Iran, and its supposed plans “to take over the entire Middle East” are now “DEAD.”
➤ Note: Iran has not initiated a war in the 47 years since the 1979 Islamic Revolution brought its current regime to power.
Ending Zionism means refusing Zionist language. Thinking on this all year with the wonderful @reallyheike.bsky.social while editing (& writing) anti-Zionist essays for a forthcoming book! This lil zine comes from that project. We learn so much from police/prison abolitionism. PDF at bit.ly/4lzF8OG
I can't confirm whether any of this is true. But there are growing reports from widely disparate sources that Iran is collecting intelligence on the whereabouts of Israeli officials and may already be trying to target them for assassination. bsky.app/profile/msja...

No war on Iran
No U.S. supremacist imperialism
No Zionist expansionism
🚨 The final number of dead at the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ school in Minab, southern Iran, is 108 school girls, a spokesperson for the Iranian Red Crescent Society said — more than half of the roughly 170 students who attend the school.
It remains unclear whether the strike was carried out by...
I still believe in building popular knowledge about empire, & the importance of undoing lies about US liberalism, liberal Zionism, and “progress toward equality.” Wrestling with the fact that they don’t intervene in the tech/oligarch death cult. New tactics.
The U.S. plan for Gaza is the final stage of Israel’s genocide. Bombs and bulldozers obliterated Gaza’s landscape, and now skyscrapers and data centers aim to dismantle its social fabric and capacity to resist.

Emergency protest happening now outside Columbia University after ICE agents used a “bogus missing persons flyer for a 5-year old girl” to gain access to a school-owned residence to detain a student.
That student posted to her instagram this morning: “DHS illegally arrested me. Please help.”
