“We know we were colonized. We know they took over our schools. We know they took away our language. We know all of this, so we're just trying to bring all those things back.” CRCC's Richard Flory & Nick Shindo Street profile #Hawaiian #Indigenous activists. indiancountrytoday.com/news/a-very-ha…

Confirmed human toll from wildland-urban interface #MauiFires is terrible (already second deadliest wildfire in modern American history), but grim reports from residents on the ground suggest actual toll is even greater & that there is still minimal outside assistance. #MauiFire

A midlist debut novel basically sinks or swims entirely on whether enough readers love it enough to recommend it to other people. Here's a quick snapshot of a lovely day—thank you all so much! It makes me incredibly happy, and hopeful that the book will find its readership.

something that worries me after being part of #abolitionist collective projects for over 25 years: how (what abolitionists call) "non-reformist reforms" get infiltrated by a liberal counterinsurgency machine and turned into "procedure" based technologies of pacification

Good article. That headline is particularly poignant though juxtaposed against Sri Lanka's record number of enforced disappearances (second highest in the world as of 2009 according to the UN WGEID, behind Iraq) because they are the same story. Revolt and repression.

I am floored as I read this forthcoming book by Christopher Paul Harris. The first chapter alone has me highlighting and furiously writing notes. This is an important text!! You need to grab a copy if you are remotely interested in Black mobilization and Black futures.

Images out of #Libya following extreme rainfall from the "#Medicane" (Mediterranean "tropical-like" cyclone) that made landfall this weekend are indicative of quite violent flood inundations. Based on these images, rumors of multiple dam failures unfortunately seem plausible.

Four weeks ago, Judge Saravanarajah told the Dept. of Archaeology they couldn't keep ignoring court orders to stop installing fake archaeo-propaganda in Kurunthurmalai.

The phrase "humanitarian crisis in Gaza" does the work of liberal white magic by *disappearing* apartheid, settler conquest/occupation, and actual genocidal state terror. As i explained to my 15 yr old daughter last night, United Nations exists to preserve the global order of empire (duh).

Devastating. Zephaniah is a legendary figure. Reading his poems as a child opened my mind, as it did for many millions more. His words on refugees and racism were inspirational. I never knew this Eelam Tamil connection though. He will be sorely missed.
