People keep asking me how the strike is going; this sums it pretty well. What a disappointment. Then again, this is what I expected during a union sanctioned strike where the uaw is policing and suppressing any real disruption.

*Why the aren’t explicitly calling for his freedom

[Brown Girl Archaeologist✨ @ms_self_dstruct]

EXACTLY! Question who is benefitting from this acquisition, where the money is going, and also why Brown university and the people (NOT family) who had these belongings who are benefiting from this transaction. Call for the freedom of Mumia explicitly👊🏽

[yasmina @jasminprix]

when a private university-corporation-plantation “acquires” the papers of a still incarcerated black revolutionary & political prisoner do they also materially support organizing efforts to free them

Reflecting on this is a big reason why some of us don’t advance or succeed as expected in our academic careers. As scholars from oppressed backgrounds, we feel like imposters but also feel like we are siding with the enemy through academia. I hate it here.

[Brown Girl Archaeologist✨ @ms_self_dstruct]

“Abolitionist” researchers, if your research is extractive of Black and Indigenous individuals or communities, and gives nothing back to actually help those communities dismantle the system, then you are part of the problem.

[Brown Girl Archaeologist✨ @ms_self_dstruct]

Y’all are advancing in your academic careers at the expense of oppressed human beings and calling it social justice. You should go ahead and add Agent of the State to your CV.

@robingnelson I’ve been there too, sometimes a good overwhelmed mom cry helps. Hope the rest of your day is better.

Being the only brown woman working with a bunch of settlers be like:

Am I being micromanaged, or am I being surveilled?👀

But fr, how y'all pro-war but anti-slap?

[Brown Girl Archaeologist✨ @ms_self_dstruct]

@KR_galindez I feel personally attacked 😅

My best friend’s life was taken in 2020. I still grieve and hurt daily.

Grief is complex and unclear in many ways. I honor her name, though it cuts to memorialize someone who should be here.

Please share and spread the word about this scholarship. Keep Sylvia’s legacy alive.
