Assata Shakur on liberals:

Incredibly thankful to every single person at Uncommitted National Movement 🌺 for creating a vehicle to apply pressure using all the levers available to us. While there’s a lot of conversations about the speaker slot, it was a culmination of months of intense work. Thread 👇🏼1/

With regret but full solidarity, I have pulled out of a speaking event this fall Columbia University University. The student suspensions continue as does punitive behaviour towards staff. 1400 academics signed a boycott letter in the early summer, & until things change, we must stay firm.

Many academics have told me they didn't know about the boycott: spread the word. I'll post the link to the letter below. columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/2…

The sheriff featured by Democrats last night is same sheriff we recently sued over taking cash from private equity-owned telecom companies to eliminate the ability of children to visit their parents in jail, on the theory that families would spend more money on monopoly calls.

The first case of #Polio in more than 25 years, but no one will care because the baby is Palestinian. I'm so saddened and ashamed of our country looking away and pretending they are trying to stop this madness. We don't want your thoughts and prayers. We need action.

Imagine if the “good guys” believed genocide was bad. Imagine if the “love thy neighbor” folks didn’t trust the police. Imagine if the “joy” people didn’t supply bombs and cover.

Looking so very forward to reading this!

Let every march, echo this.. from RG Kar to TISS, We want justice ✊ From yesterday's Long March by JNUSU ✊

grateful to Arizona Center for Medieval & Renaissance Studies and Throughlines for wanting to know more about where Indigenous Shakespeare productions fit into the wider landscape of the Contemporary Native Theatre movement, history, erasure, resilience, and some of the many Native artists work involved.

Listen to this gorgeous Ay Hairathe Aashiqui cover by Parth Chandiramani and Apoorva Krishna. This stripped down version really highlights the very many different musical styles Rahman weaves into the original - ghazal, carnatic, even celtic! ❤️

Seeing lots of posts on my timeline about the new academic year, people starting new jobs, PhD programmes, etc. A reminder that 1000s of Palestinian staff and students are unable to start the new academic year because of Israel’s ongoing scholasticide & genocide

I need more people to be outraged by this theft of African culture and history by the UAE funded RSF.

Anyone teaching a Renaissance literature survey this semester? Dennis Britton offers a sharp and fascinating read on The Faerie Queene and race. Be sure to watch the full video here throughlines.org/suite-content/…

I am delighted to announce that the journal special issue of Borrowers & Lenders on #Shakespeare and #Bengal is now out! Warmest thanks to everyone who made this possible. borrowers-ojs-azsu.tdl.org/borrowers/issu…. It has been an amazing journey.

Arundhati Roy on Israel🇮🇱 “No matter what crimes it committed, it grew up like a protected child in a wealthy home, whose parents smile proudly as it commits atrocity upon atrocity. No wonder today it feels free to boast openly about committing genocide.”

.ProPublica is doing some incredible work focusing on the dire consequences of a Trump win. This is the information voters are craving, not the latest poll results. Be sure to read & share. This stuff is important. It's also really good journalism.
