See you soon!
We are so excited to be hosting Ibram X. Kendi, in conversation with our local Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (MA-07), in celebration of his newest book “Chain of Ideas”! This event will be taking place on March 31st, at 7PM at First Parish Church. Tickets still available at portersquarebooks.com!
And if they believe great replacement theory and welcome authoritarianism, the oligarchs end up exploiting and dominating them inside the gates alongside the purported “enemy.”
An example of great replacement theory. Which suggests Black people, immigrants of color, and Muslims—especially in powerful positions—are here to take the lives and livelihoods of White people. All to convince White people they need authoritarian protection from the “enemy. . .inside the gates.”
Introducing the complete fliers for my Chain of Ideas book tour. Don’t know how many more times I’ll be able to come to your city to discuss a book that reveals the regime’s ideological playbook. Not taking this tour—my presence or yours—for granted. Keep showing up. 👊🏿

Trump calls Iran a “terrorist regime” for “killing innocent people.” Since his regime started bombing Iran, many of the people killed have been innocent people, including girls at a school. By his own logic, Trump is leading a “terrorist regime.”
Some good news. Jeremy Carl, who says the primary form of racism today is anti-White racism, withdrew his candidacy for a senior role in the State Department. This guy struggled to defend his views on the “erasure of white culture” during his Senate confirmation hearing.

José Antonio Kast, the son of a Nazi lieutenant who fled Germany after WW2, was sworn in today as the 38th president of Chile. For years, Kast ran for president on great replacement theory. At his rallies, some of his supporters wore red hats and demanded that Kast “Make Chile Great Again.”

The “political questions defining our authoritarian age:
Who is the nation for?
Where do the borders of belonging begin and end?”
—Chain of Ideas: The Origins of Our Authoritarian Age 📚
The regime does not seem to identify as “criminal elements” those enslavers and war lords back then, or those today listed in the Epstein files or launching wars. We all know what groups they have identified as the “criminal elements.”
“The West only achieved the place that it did in human history because it spent previous centuries eradicating the criminal elements within its territories,” Stephen Miller says. “Ruthless means were used to get rid of the people who were raping and murdering.”
The war call: If we don’t displace them, they will replace us. As I write in the final part of Chain of Ideas, this old and resurgent great replacement theory has justified wars and genocides again and again and again.

My young life was saved. We spoke in front of flags representing all the young lives we can save if we take action.
This time, last Sunday, I helped kick off the Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month by speaking at the United in Blue Rally on the National Mall. It has been eight years since my battle with stage 4 colorectal cancer—the #1 cancer killer among young people.
~1/3 into How to Be an Antiracist. This annotation on replacing "Criminal Justice System" w/"Criminal Punishment System" has me thinking...
Punitive vs Restorative vs Transformative Justice. True Justice is inherently Restorative AND Transformative. The alternative is just Structural Retribution.

“Now, as if ‘migratory submersion’ were not enough, the expression ‘great replacement’. . has become so commonplace. . that its true meaning has almost been forgotten,” writes columnist Philippe Bernard.

One book on this list is Chain of Ideas. 🙏🏾
“Kendi argues that replacement theory animates much of our politics today and traces its evolution from the tirades of a French novelist to halls of power in Viktor Orban’s Hungary and Donald Trump’s America.”

Announcing his war of regime change, Trump said to the Iranian people, “The hour of your freedom is at hand.” Words from a president who has been snatching freedoms from Americans. A freedom taker presenting himself as a freedom giver. How authoritarians commonly present their wars of conquest.
Discovered another local bookstore today 🥰
