It will continue to be (and already is) easy to deceive a large number of people around us, as all they need to do is relate to some aspect of the identity of those who will sell them out or harm them. Many are marching right into endless excuses with no thought behind it.

People are online talking about some of the most powerful politicians in the world like they're a cousin who works at a local store, just because they share race, gender, etc with them. You don't have to completely discard identity, but it doesn't automatically indicate integrity.

The idea of representation has really fried some people's understanding of the world around them when they're describing powerful politicians like disempowered family members who deserve unwavering support because of identity traits.

Another way out: Fascism, empire, and a global crisis for whiteness Instead of longing to return to a past version of the world that gave us white supremacy, we should push to kill it at its roots

When it comes to whiteness, things have shifted over time. The Trump Administration represents another change with former US allies and the standard procedure of colonial powers having to adjust to the latest fascism. I wrote about why a lot of this was inevitable. prismreports.org/2025/03/24/w...

Hossam Shabbat smiling

There is a hole in my heart the size of the universe. Hossam Shabbat should have been a senior in journalism school. It was a great honor of my life to correspond with this sensitive young man, who showed us all what journalism can and should be. God have mercy on us all.

there are so many awful things happening, and something in particular that I can’t get out of my mind is the man who was executed by firing squad ‘volunteers’ in sc because the state wouldn’t answer his questions about if the iv drugs would’ve been expired/where they came from.

"My name is Mahmoud Khalil and I am a political prisoner. I am writing to you from a detention facility in Louisiana where I wake to cold mornings and spend long days bearing witness to the quiet injustices underway against a great many people precluded from the protections of the law."

These are just unimaginably ugly days we’re living through.

israel is committing genocide against palestine and the foundation of the united states is being torn apart to punish the people who think this is bad.

The university can’t be neutral. The university has never been a neutral place. Let’s pop that balloon right away. Refuse that bad fiction of the western university. It has been the site for the production of tremendous harm through “knowledge”.

Lots of people across the world live in places where forced disappearances are common under totaliarianism. You can ask them. Fascism is global. Trump joins authoriarians around the world, many of whom were endorsed by the US or puppets of the US.
