Russian bombed another university today. International news is not interested

Journalists/researchers in contact with people inside Russia: *please use Signal rather than Telegram!* I was banned today while working with confidential sources. Telegram is simply not safe; see Wired's reportage- wired.com/story/the-krem…

This headline manages to reinforce several pillars of rape culture at once, one being that sexual violence is a private act and coming forward about it publicly is a transgression, another that any attempt to seek justice for sexual violence is a form of violence in itself

This "four-month investigation" by The New York Times is one-dimensional and misleading. Telegram has shared users' information with govts, is widely infiltrated by security services, and is far less secure than its rivals. Putin allows it in Russia for a reason nytimes.com/2024/09/07/tec…

Harvard: we are training the next generation of visionary leaders! Also Harvard: we are so terrified of protests that we've banned digging a hole

New: At least two women in Georgia died after they couldn't access legal abortions and timely medical care in their state, ProPublica has found. This is one of their stories. propub.li/3N7xPgN

A tenured anthro professor has been unjustly FIRED for her work on Palestine. Maura Finkelstein is my colleague from grad school, and her 2019 piece "What is a Classroom For? Teaching the Anthropology of Palestine" is a widely-taught resource for scholars in this critical moment.

Thank you Radio Angie 📻 for this insightful conversation about the cultural codes of domestic violence kalw.org/2024-10-02/boo…

Viktoria Roshchyna was physically healthy before her imprisonment by Russian forces. We have every reason to believe that her death was either the result of intentional murder or a consequence of the cruel treatment and violence she suffered while in Russian captivity.

For The New York Review of Books, I wrote about how speaking out against an increasingly violent government changes an individual life. With huge thanks to the political prisoners, friends/family of the incarcerated, and activists in Russia who shared their stories. nybooks.com/articles/2025/…

Marian Turski was an incredibly inspiring figure who warned of the dangers of prejudice all kinds but this The New York Times obituary contains an odd and repeated error: Turski did not "return" to Poland after the Holocaust (he never left). nytimes.com/2025/02/25/wor…

Joy Neumeyer and I chatted about how to write a letter to a political prisoner, what the end of the war in Ukraine means for dissent in Russia, and why it’s important to verify your identity when talking to lawyers: nybooks.com/online/2025/03…

Kwadwo N. Osei-Opare & I wrote about how Musk's Cybertruck is a regressive nod to militarized Apartheid South Africa. Angular armored vehicles, known as Casspirs, patrolled streets during Musk's formative years, spread globally, & continue to haunt us all. 1/3 slate.com/news-and-polit…

“I’m fearful that even the most low-level political speech or just doing what we all do — like shout into the abyss that is social media — can turn into this dystopian nightmare." Exactly what happened in Russia. nytimes.com/2025/03/15/nyr…

Last week, I was expelled from Columbia University for protesting the U.S.-backed genocide in Gaza. As president of Student Workers of Columbia , Columbia’s student workers union, I was also fired from my job. The Trump administration is pushing their narrative. Here’s the real story. 🧵

I discussed similarities between Putin's Russia and Trump's America with Anna Wójcik of OKO.press (in Polish, youtube.com/watch?v=3jqzRv…) and the plight of Russian political prisoners with Suzala on Jacobin Audio & Video (podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jac…). Have a listen!

A sad birthday for me today: the National Endowment for the Humanities (National Endowment for the Humanities) has terminated our grant for publishing Ukrainian literature in English translation effective immediately. This was the first such federal grant we received for our publications in 40+ years. Per the
