Go see I’m Still Here with both Fernanda Torres & her mother Fernanda Montenegro. The film tells the terrifying true story of the arrest, disappearance, & murder of Ruben Paiva by the Brazilian military dictatorship in 1971 & the aftermath of state terror on a family & nation. Yes, it feels timely.

Academics are most comfortable with the semantics of language: what does it mean, is it true, what would justify it? But our bosses operate in the world of pragmatics—what words can do for them: to cajole, spook, misdirect, flatter, wear down, buy time.

Sometimes I get annoyed reviewers asking me to "look at the big picture, what is the bigger intellectual/political point you are coming to with your history" But what if I want to tell the little stories? The ordinary lives and the ordinary struggles, with all that come with that?

New York state says one can't even say the words "settler colonialism, genocide, human rights, apartheid" in regards to Israel, or else that is antisemitism. I'm sure all the advocates for free speech will agree with New York state, from Trump to Musk to Bezos and even quite a few liberals.

With nearly all of New York’s state prisons on lockdown, those on the inside struggle to get by. Some facilities are making do while others leave those in their custody hungry, unshowered, and lacking medical care.

"Cassandra Fetters, a professor of English...who attended the protest, challenged the university actions, calling the elimination of DEI programs 'anti-intellectual' and 'anti-civil rights.' 'This is not law,' said Fetters, discussing the executive order that's been paused by the courts..."

We are in that rare interstitial space of history in academia where the vacuous expanse between teaching liberation movements & offering minimal solidarity - forget providing support - to oppressed peoples is increasingly gaping at us, right in the hollow of our eyes.
