Can Genocide Studies Survive a Genocide in Gaza? A discipline born from the study of the Holocaust faces its contradictions as Israel stands accused of the “crime of crimes.”

“What’s the point of this field? Is it, in fact, enabling the mass killing of Palestinians in the name of self-defense and genocide prevention? If that’s the case, then the field is dead—not only incoherent, but complicit in mass killing.”

I will point out that it’s the largest room in the conference, and it’s standing room only. People do not want this.

It’s Not Complicated The mainstream media failed the public during the genocide in Gaza. The Key's editor-in-chief shares her vision for what comes next.

Former LA Times managing editor @sarayasin.bsky.social launches The Key, a new publication about Palestine that will be "a home for journalists who have had their stories spiked in mainstream outlets."

Emmanuel Damas, 56, died in ICE custody on Monday.

Damas came to the U.S. from Haiti seeking asylum. After six months in ICE custody—the last four at CoreCivic's Florence Correctional Center—he died from complications from a tooth infection.

A tooth infection.

Oil and charcoal on canvas, abstract cubist bodies piled together. Description from MOMA site: "With its varying degrees of finish—you can see traces of charcoal and sections of blank canvas—and vast network of undulating lines and geometric shapes, Picasso seems to have obscured legibility in favor of generating a rhythmic abstraction. As if questioning the ability of painting to represent war, he created a shifting, spectral vision."

Horrific news from Iraq where feminist activist and human rights defender Yanar Mohammed, co-founder and director of the Organization of Women's Freedom in Iraq (OWFI), has been assassinated by gunmen outside of her home just days after returning from Canada.

Screenshot of a 3hr old post from the GW Hatchet: “BREAKING: GW sold its Virginia campus to Amazon Data Services, an Amazon subsidiary that manages the company's data centers, for $427 million on Friday. The deed, obtained by The Hatchet, authorizes ADS to develop the campus into a data or information technology center.

GW‘s student newspaper appears to have broken the story that the institution has sold a satellite campus to Amazon to be turned into a data center, which is just about chef’s kiss for the state of American higher education rn

the accuracy of @apnews.com’s race calls and underlying vote count data should be treated as sus due to the risk of incentive contamination. even if it changes nothing, the conspiracy narratives, which are inevitable, will radically alter the interpretive environment after every major call.

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

Kansas Revokes IDs for 1,000+ Transgender Residents Under New State Law More than 1,000 transgender Kansas residents have had their driver's licenses and birth certificates invalidated under a new state law that took effect Thursday. The legislation requires gender marker...

It was never about protecting cisgen women and girls. This law strips transgender adult male and females of their right to pursue liberty.

This week my students were asking about the distinction between anti-imperialism and anti-colonialism. The conversation happened in the context of reading Gandhi’s Satyagraha in South Africa. They were amazed that Gandhi could see the Boer as an iconic figure of colonial suffering and resistance 1/

These impersonation tactics have long been part of ICE's playbook. In 2005, they impersonated OSHA officials, and told construction work crews there would be a mandatory all-staff safety meeting the next day. Then they detained anyone they could.

Columbia student Ellie Aghayeva was released from immigration detention hours after her arrest because of a phone call between Mayor Zohran Mamdani and President Trump.

“It shows the power of opposition, but also how loose and flippant these arrests are,” says @premthakker.bsky.social.

Seized Art, Eavesdropping Guards: Parents Describe a Clampdown at Dilley Detention Center as Kids Shared Their Stories Detainees told ProPublica that art supplies have been removed in room searches, immigrants have lost access to Gmail and staff hover within earshot during video calls.

"...she and her three kids watched through a window as guards swept through their room in late January, removing drawings from the walls and placing colored pencils and crayons in plastic bags before taking them away."
