Grad student exploring histories of refuge work, food security, and humanitarianism in northern Uganda since the 19th c.

[Gervais Marsh @blackofcentre]

The northwestern university president just said he STANDS BY EVERY WORD in his last email that dangerously admonished student protests and completely neglected Black student demands. He has no concern for the wellbeing of Black students #ResignMorty

[Northwestern University Graduate Workers (NUGW) @NorthwesternGW]

shoutout to faculty in @AfAmNU:

“It is only when your own pleasant suburban life was disrupted by student protestors that your expression of outrage and dismay to our University community rose to a level beyond the banal, the tepid and the timid.”

@RogueChieftan A delicacy in this area is sesame paste mixed with crushed termites. Try that recipe next!

Where is the rest of the labor mov’t? We need a general strike against racism & injustice. We need the labor mov’t to act. We don’t have time for bills that never arrive & reforms that never work. In Kenosha the racists are the police & they collaborate w the militias. Enough

"Local traditions of crisis management—especially those resistant to predatory capitalism—have largely been forcibly shed along the path to “development.” The age of COVID-19 is the time to recover them." Read more of @munu_mitch's article below:

A milestone extension is the bare minimum @NorthwesternU & @TGSatNU can do for grad workers. A milestone extension without a funding extension is completely out of touch with the realities of the crises we're facing in higher education and in our world. We need #universal1yr

[Abolitionists @ NU @nu_abolition]

we are a group of abolitionists at NorthwesternU who want to help students learn about + be engaged in abolition. we've noticed a lot of folks aligned with abolition right now, and we want to keep this energy up to abolish all systems of policing, including our local NUPD + EPD.
