“Most newsrooms, including well-resourced papers of record, are not considering the ways their work protects the police state. No matter what a newsroom's bent is, at minimum, journalists have a responsibility to hold power to account.“ scalawagmagazine.org/2022/06/write-…
For as long as police have existed, Black folks have fought for safety. In Memphis, a city marked by racial violence and injustice, blues greats like Louis Armstrong and John Gary Williams harnessed the power of the city's Black music for resistance. scalawagmagazine.org/2023/06/memphi…
“Music was my guidance, honestly. Anything that had to do with a hustle was all in my ears, and can't nobody talk about hustling better than Dolph. I tried everything just to get money because that's what he motivated me to do.“— Dorian Record scalawagmagazine.org/2022/06/memphi…
“The police state relies on othering, a binary of good vs. bad. So does thinness and the culture it breeds…What diet culture also translates into is surveilling the people around you. Fat people know all too well what this gaze feels like…”— @keaux_ scalawagmagazine.org/2022/12/pop-ju…
Durhamite Nina Oteria wows with her fresh and startling prose poem inspired by artist Simone Leigh titled "The Waiting Room." scalawagmagazine.org/2019/12/ekphra…
if only someone had written a book about how sex is continually framed as both a duty to empire and a necessity to quell young people's desire to push back against the status quo and therefore moral panic around the infrequency of sex is often deployed as a tool of control

“Students” This is just not true A faction of the Northwestern Divestment Coalition unaccountable to a democratic participant decision-making process cut a terrible deal that the NU admin is trying to use to justify mass arrests of the encampment

Happening now at @UTAustin. State, city, and university police breaking pro-Palestinian protest.

91 folks arrested last night at Virginia Tech for fighting against genocide. Free Palestine! wvtf.org/news/2024-04-2…
HAPPENING NOW: Protesters are marching around the University of Georgia campus in Athens to demand the university divest from companies enabling the genocide in Gaza.
Charging people protesting a genocide with “Hate Crime on Law Enforcement” is utter buffoonery, not entirely surprising since Louisiana just criminalized nearly all protest

If you're still wondering why students are protesting, here's a sign from the University of North Carolina encampment.
The high rates of masking at university encampments is so inspiring! It's also a great opportunity to help people connect the dots between the liberation of Palestine and disability justice. Link below to print and distribute a flyer we made ⛺️ 🇵🇸 bit.ly/maskflyer
Grateful to be a part of a legacy of Black preachers who were/are courageous enough to preach the unadulterated truth of the gospel. STOP KILLING THE PALESTINIANS!!!!

I recently told my partner that I get anxiety when making permanent changes to my living environment (curtains, painting, etc). Part of that is because nothing ever seems permanent, and that began with Hurricane Katrina. "Stuff" matters so little when you've lost it all before.
I started getting heartburn at 16 yrs old, months after returning home to New Orleans. When I first drove into the city, my eyes burned so bad, I couldn't open them. Asthmatic symptoms also appeared shortly after. And the nightmares. And the current detachment to homes.
Whew geezus. I still have nightmares on occasion. And I don't even live there anymore, so I know my people who live there done seen some things in the 18 years since landfall.
