Kenyan police have been filmed working side by side with militias but this statement doesn’t address that

Once you lose legitimacy, no amount of violence will reinstate it, no matter how long you might try to hang on to it.

You can't be above tribalism without addressing it. Rip it open by choice or pretend you are tribeless, and yet every time they give you a tribal rhetoric, you become a mess. Y. A. O said we have to summon the ghosts and let them speak. We have to talk.

The moment we are in is forcing us to come up with answers to: What is Kenya? What does it stand for? What does being Kenyan mean? And most importantly: What kind of a country do we want? The political elites' vision for Kenya where a few benefit is one that we have rejected

I know that we are fighting homophobes, but how is this a win at a time when we know 1) the state is in bed with Christian nationalists and 2) it’s interested in performing civility for the west even as it murders people and strengthens the police state? This is pink washing.

Painful! So painful!

They have been relentless gunshots in Embu all day. They shot a young man. They ran over a mom and her child while they were on a motorbike. It is utter chaos.

We need to mainstream a queer analysis in kenya that accounts for imperialism in its totality. The evangelicals are definitely a huge threat, but limiting analysis of imperialism to their meddling and not seeing how liberal western lgbtq notions of freedom limit us is a mistake.

There is in effect a curfew in Embu tonight. They are telling people to close and go home. Lights have gone out in most estates.

So painful. But also how brave and radical of them to use this photo and reproduce it over and over. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Kenyans thrive despite Kenya. Not because the country offers them anything much

How do the police know this?

It has been one year since kenyanjurist departed from this world. A judge par excellence,but even more, a kind, grounded soul who made the law feel human. May his soul continue to rest in eternal peace. 🕊️ This piece will be out in August 2025

Even if you're on the side that doesn't want police abolished, we have to admit that we are over-policed. Why are armed cops at a meeting in a girls' high school? Why are there cops carrying automatics patrolling the carriages of the SGR? It's terrifying and unnecessary.
