Image 1: “Happy New Year” hangs across the top of the black and white sketch of a cat with a party hat leaping onto a cat taking a nap on the right bottom corner of the image. Text reads “Don’t cat nap into the year!”
Image 2 has the leaping cat almost on top of the cat who was napping. The formerly napping cat is now awake and bracing for impact!
Image 3 has the two cats sitting next to each other smiling, with “Let’s work on those writing purrojects together!”

I grew up under a terrifying authoritarian regime. Mahmoud Khalil's arrest is right out of their playbook
Mahmoud Khalil's arrest by ICE reminds one professor at Columbia University, Khalil's alma mater, or her childhood in authoritarian Romania.
"The constant fear of repression, deportation or disappearance that I grew up with is not one that anyone should experience, ever again.
Today, I cannot help but think about Mahmoud Khalil’s history and the traumas that his unborn child could inherit."

this was such a wonderful interview to do!! I adored chatting with the extraordinarily brilliant and eloquent @annikaschmeding.bsky.social about her work -- listen (and read the book!!) to learn so much about the nuances of leadership and authority in Afghanistan's Sufi communities
