The January/February 2023 issue of "Archival Outlook" is now out, and that means so is my article! I am incredibly honored to have been asked to contribute based on my 2022 presentation at SAA. Thank you to all who helped edit and to those who read it!

This is exactly what I mean by Hollywood being a propoganda arm of the US gov't.
These robots are for surveillance and compiling facial recognition data. Dressing them up as cute characters is an insidious method to brainwash children and adults to accept state surveillance.
Keep the Meter Running: Ramadan Edition!
I hopped in a taxi to Iftar with Kareem Rahma (@SubwayTakes) and longtime yellow cab driver Mouhamadou, who I went on hunger strike with in 2021 to win historic debt relief.
Special thanks to @DRUMBeatsNYC.
We are demanding the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil. We will not let the Trump Administration shred our First Amendment rights. Protesting genocide is not a crime.
Free Mahmoud Khalil. And free Palestine.
Choose your fighter:
Zohran Mamdani was the first candidate to promise to freeze the rent for rent stabilized tenants.
Andrew Cuomo is holding private meetings with REBNY and expressing regret over signing bills meant to make housing more affordable.
Easy choice.
Today is three months until the election. And thanks to all of you, we are officially DONE fundraising.
Please don’t send us money. But we would love your time.
Thanks for reminding me that I shouldn’t rank you.
I’ll be making sure my NYC UAW comrades don’t either. We have been clear in our stance that divestment is a moral imperative.
The arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil—a green card holder whose wife is eight months pregnant—is a blatant assault on the First Amendment and a sign of advancing authoritarianism under Trump. He must be released now.
There is immediate work to be done to secure Mahmoud Khalil's safety: once that is done we need to name the people at Barnard/Columbia who helped make this happen: the administrators, the Zionist donors, the faculty members, who gleefully set the table for this fascist feast.
Columbia facilitated the abduction of Mahmoud Khalil from his home as his pregnant wife watched, following orders from the White House- despite Mahmoud being a lawful green card holder. His crime? Protesting against the genocide of his people. Raise hell for Mahmoud.
Capitulating to this fascist administration doesn’t make anyone safe. I am calling for the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil, illegally detained for protesting genocide. Columbia should be protecting its students standing up to war crimes, not enabling those committing them.
This is how it starts. The Trump Admin will first target anti-genocide protesters & anyone who supports Palestinians, and then they will widen their net to include anyone who opposes their far-right agenda. @Columbia is more than complicit. They’re leading this fascistic charge.
Doctors refused to accept germ theory, and pushed against handwashing and sterilization, long after they had proof it helped with mortality. This is just one new adaptation on that. Historically, for many drs, ones ego and ones routines have been more important than the science.
On Saturday, 300+ volunteers collected another 4,472 ballot signatures for our campaign in 13 neighborhoods across the city.
I think we might beat those numbers today.
Trans kids didn’t hike your rent. Billionaires did.
Immigrants didn’t make your groceries more expensive. Billionaires did.
Federal workers didn’t take away your health care. Billionaires did.
