The University of New Mexico community demands divestment from Israel & fossil fuels! Multiple organizations of students, faculty, staff, & alums spoke at the UNM Board of Regents' meeting this morning. We'll keep pushing until the university divests. Free Palestine!

There are a whole lot of people and communities who have been living and organizing outside of the state for a very long time and it’s worth listening to them in this moment

"This is not an I.C.E. agent or any other law enforcement officer. This is a kekistan-flag-wrapped Proud Boy wearing a Palantir-overseen GPS device guiding him to dissident houses. He has no authority to torture the families of members of Congress and execute them on their lawn."

It's like Trump felt he was missing the "external expansion" part of Robert Paxton's definition of fascism & decided he needed to check all the boxes.

Something viscerally enraging about the Western idea of feminism as something that "succeeded", that went too far, that is passe and overdone now, when the zealous fanatics overseeing these punitive legal regimes have been working towards this outcome for decades, out in the open. Here's a secret.

This is the critical thing. It's an error to think that all the institutions betraying us are doing so out of "fear". To many, this administration is emboldening, a convenient excuse to drop the pretenses and embody their true values. They don't need the EOs to be enforceable or legal.

“In January 1933, Hitler became chancellor. I thought we would now start a revolution, but actually nothing happened. The communists defected—often en masse—to the Nazis and the social democrats held out a little longer but ultimately dissolved their organizations”

Liberals are screaming that as Trump turns off or sabotages certain expanses of state function this will forever prove the necessity of the state, and as planes crash, it'll provoke counterrevolution or counter-coup. I'm more like... this is an interesting test run with valuable data.

So, a quick reminder ...

What we're currently living through is a patriarchal panic reaction. Our society came a little too close to acknowledging trans people as not merely quirky zoo exhibits to gawk at on the margins of society. Too close to acknowledging our humanity. The response to this has been sheer terror.

Our co-op is no stranger to unwanted government attention; we've been threatened by city officials, visited by the FBI, and surveilled by police. Today we're publishing a Statement of Noncooperation that spells out our commitments. firestorm.coop/noncooperati... 1/6

Elder Leonard Peltier has been granted clemency. He is free! Graphic from the NDN and Decolonize Myself: A First Nations Perspective

According to a piece by Riley Callanan, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Uber, Toyota, Ford, GM, & Pfizer have all donated a million or more to Trump's inauguration. Corporations have no problem playing ball with fascism. Remember this.

Very disappointed to see the AHA Council @historians.org veto the resolution opposing scholasticide in Gaza after it was overwhelmingly supported by members at the AHA conference. There has been such a disconnect between grassroots support for Palestine vs disavowal from "leadership."

Re-reading my draft, I never quite sort out whether I want to laugh at academia as just another weird ideological subculture or to howl "WE ARE CLASS ENEMIES AND IN THE DEPTHS OF MY SOUL I WANT YOU DEAD" at it.

May the ceasefire improve conditions in Gaza. We'll keep pushing for decolonization & liberation.

Please spread the word about these two upcoming classes at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque! It's critically important to intensify feminist study & action in these grim times.

"Death 2 Israel" is a fine slogan. Death to Israel. Death to the USA. Death to Canada. Death to Australia. Death to all nation-states & especially to every settler colony. May these oppressive structures perish so that individuals, families, & communities can flourish.

The idea that there are no innocents among oppressors, as anarchist bomber Émile Henry put it, has merit. Colonialism implicates all settlers, whether in occupied Palestine or the Western Hemisphere. The question isn't guilt, but what actions facilitate collective liberation.

Rigid identity categories can create unnecessary stress & turmoil when the unexpected happens. Everything you imagine true about yourself today is potentially fluid unless you somehow know the future with certainty. (Spoiler: You don't.)

I'm rather familiar with European history, especially military history. I've read tons of primary sources. Intuitively, I'm utterly baffled that anyone who's studied that fake continent could believe its inhabitants somehow posses extraordinary competence or compassion.
