¡Venceremos?: The Erotics of Black Self-making in Cuba by Jafari Sinclaire Allen, there would be no forthcoming book “Indigenous Blackness: The Queer World-Making Politics of Garifuna Nueva York” without this text. Changed everything for me back in Fall 2014!

Canada is closing its door to Haitian asylum seekers- it changed the law to largely bar their crossing after Haitian and African asylum seekers sought refuge at the border ten years ago. This is a nation hostile to Black life. https://t.co/zHst0BJmgQ

Algu, born in South Africa, said she felt obligated to speak against Israel’s bombing of hospitals in Gaza. She & 2 doctors, called to a meeting that discussed advocacy, filed complaints of reprisals after. The 2 doctors’ contracts were not renewed. Then came the investigation.

Dr. Kavita Algu resigned from Mt. Sinai Hospital after feeling she was unfairly targeted for her Palestinian advocacy. I leaned on internal reports, notes, emails, interviews with staff etc. to investigate. A gift link to read the story without paywall: https://t.co/D8h4ndOfRo

"All of the speculation and hype around A.I. is hiding the fact that the technology isn’t just large language models or agents or data centers. It is the backbone of a superstructure that merges regressive politics with unchecked economic power in the guise of technological innovation." -- Tressie McMillan Cottom

Just heard about Dr. Johanna Fernandez. An absolutely foundational scholar. Was just rereading a passage about the Young Lords and medical protest. Que en paz descanse, omg. 🕯️🕊️

This delusional belief still circulates today even at the highest levels of government and science and has supported unfathomable death and devastation. Why I call it a “fatal invention.”
