Something that became clear to me years ago was that I needed to focus on helping individuals (whenever possible) while also advocating/organizing for public goods for all. I've never seen these are contradictory.

Mutual aid should be a threat to the state, not a substitute for its “failures.” It is saying “the state does not do this & will not do this because it is built to oppress & exploit.” Mutual aid is a radical act of caring for each other outside of those systems of oppression.

Sudan Militia, Armed With Drones, Hunts Down Black Population of Darfur The country’s civil war has triggered a wave of brutal reprisals targeting the region’s Black population.

The UAE-backed RSF is "now using state-of-the-art drones and execution squads to dominate the region's Black population."

"Rights researchers already are warning that the killings have the potential to surpass the genocide that played out in Rwanda just over 30 years ago."

No, SNAP Benefits Aren’t Mostly Used by Immigrants SNAP benefits are set to run out on Saturday. Far-right influencers and extremists are incorrectly claiming that immigrants are the main recipients of food stamps.

NEW:

Roughly 42 million people—the majority of them white American citizens—will lose access to vital food stamp benefits from Satirday.

Far-right influencers and extremists are using the crisis to push racist disinformation about immigrants and Black people

A Black Family is asking for help with a few bills. After the loss of the mother’s brother they’ve been grieving, with funeral & burial costs they’ve fallen behind on mainly the electric bill & a few others. If we each give $1 theyll reach their goal. We’ve helped 168 people so far, let’s keep going

Just $200 – that's all it takes to save a life. A child's hunger could end their life. A mother's tears could stop it. Your love today could save a family. 💙 $200 saves a life. From hunger, cold, and death.

Many of the anti-pluralism trends we are seeing right now in Canadian higher education have their own root in Canada & calling them imported is only part of the story. In 2018 @evehawk.bsky.social & I organized a symposium addressing the emergence of Peterson but also the longer history of the trend

The tendency to read rightwing attacks on higher ED as imported belies the truth. One might argue that the most recent skirmishes began in Canada as the publishing industry there unleashed Peterson on us making him a global thing. Who did he make his name off of attacking trans & non-white students.
