I was invited to deliver this year's Kogon Lecture at TU Darmstadt but I was canceled and called antisemitic due to my statements on the genocide in Gaza.
Please consider signing this letter of support. Thank you for your solidarity.

I respect the critiques of the academic professional development industry - no it won't save us.
That said, I've found many a journal article in 12-weeks guidebook, NCFDD training, and professor is in book/article to be a crucial part of how I've gotten this far.

To honor all of the Black women who raised me including my late aunt and sister, I share this one. Written with my cousin & the spirit of my auntie/his mother “Donna Do” to counter deficit views of Black mothers and Black LGBTQ+ youth. Read it here: https://t.co/YabGQCTiR3
Penn has implemented new temporary guidelines for campus demonstrations and initiated a review of the Guidelines on Open Expression, according to an email sent to the University community Thursday morning.

Today we blocked trains in East Vancouver for hours. Because no business as usual during genocide. Canada must act on arms embargo and sanction Israel. Sacred fire was lit & childrens clothes were laid on tracks. We were met w/VPD violence, 14 arrests, 2 in hospital. We here tho.
Universities punish those who speak out against genocide because they are literal weapons manufacturers. They aren't merely complicit but are actively participating in and benefiting from the death and destruction in Gaza
At USC encampment today, I facilitated a teach in on abolition. I'm under-qualified on the topic, but students asked & i said yes
Went well! Because, aside from a few long ramblings from me, it turned into 50+ people chopping it up about how to build a world w/o police+prisons
We have some big, heartening news. Eighteen (!!) former ASA presidents have issued a joint letter to endorse the Resolution for Justice in Palestine now on the ASA ballot. The list, a veritable who's who of the profession, speaks to the broad buy-in for this resolution.🧵
Dr. Aghasaleh is a member of the Decolonial, Postcolonial, & Anticolonial Studies in Education SIG. We condemn the repression that the university president @HumboldtPrez unleashed on students & faculty. We share Dr. Aghasaleh's unwavering solidarity & conviction. FREE PALESTINE!
We wrote a letter urging @Penn admin to support and protect our students in their peaceful protest, rather than escalating the situation by calling cops or taking disciplinary action. In less than 24 hours we have 1500 signatures from Penn faculty, staff, students, & alum /1
those saying that focusing on police response to students is distraction from ending genocide..
Respectfully, no
Police are anti-Black *occupying* force on Indigenous lands everywhere, enforcers of global racial colonial modernity.
Decolonization & abolition are intertwined.
