Just a few days after Columbia announces the Pulitzers, the university goes and suspends its own student journalists.

I'm not sure which video to post--the fifteen paramedics in their last moments as one of them prays amid gunfire, the journalist being burned alive, the man holding a headless toddler, the people blown into the air, or the young man quietly rocking the shrouded body of a child. It's a genocide.

the good folks at @haymarketbooks.org are releasing a paperback version of Reconsidering Reparations, April 1st, with a beautiful new cover courtesy of Steve Leard. some dismal parts of the latter chapters have aged unfortunately well - but look forward to discussions about it in today's context

Next week, we have Settler Militarism: World War II in Hawai'i and the Making of US Empire, with Juliet Nebolon. At least 2 watch parties/study groups are participating. We love this idea, and encourage teachers to set one up for their students! www.workshops4gaza.com/calendar/set...

Octavia's Bookshelf owner Nikki High doesn’t know the state of her own house in Altadena — most houses burned — but she's turned her Pasadena bookstore into a help center for fire victims. Follow the IG/Threads accounts for updates. They still need first aid kits. We also brought bottled water.

Happy New Year and happy germination to my next book, approved by @uwapress.bsky.social for publication in early 2026! An unconventional history of the Philippine nation-state told through return migration. Very proud of this one. "Going home" won't be the same after reading this, promise!

I was just interviewed by a Finnish architect abt this piece and ongoing campus security restrictions; he seemed 🤯 when I told him that uni administrators have made perfectly clear to some activist faculty + students that their comings + goings, their email, their social media are all under 👁️

Little-known fact: I dislike receiving gifts, which is fun to deal with at this time of year! If you want to give me something, please consider using that $ to register for my upcoming lecture series with @divyampersaud.com through @workshops4gaza.bsky.social: www.workshops4gaza.com/calendar/rei...

Did y’all know that there are universities like Yale that contribute to municipal budgets to make up for not paying property taxes, but the University of Chicago — which has a sizable footprint on the south side — does not?! Phenomenal reporting by @corli.thetriibe.com thetriibe.com/2024/12/chic...

A little over a month ago Andrew Herscher and I wrote about university's defense of private property. Their acknowledgments become anti-political run conterminous with militarized shutdowns of encampments protesting genocide and asking for divestment. averyreview.com/issues/68/pa...

My new article, "The settler homeland: racial violence, frontier colonialism, and Filipino repatriation," just came out with the Settler Colonial Studies journal. Really proud of how this one turned out, and thanks to everyone here who helped. Link here: www.researchgate.net/publication/...
