this is a private prison owned by geo group who gave over 3 million dollars to the Trump campaign and republicans
It’s no accident they keep sending everyone to this prison. They’re disappearing people for profit
the basics: fascism thrives on fear. they want you to be silent, to self-censor, to do less. you will not recover whatever ground you concede. the moment calls for caution, not hysteria. courage, not cowardice. if the objective is fear, be unafraid. dissent.
“The future cannot be imitated or doctrinal. The task, rather, is to be agents of one’s own temporality, to live in a more generous sense of time; a time one can use and inhabit, and not be squashed by. Time is out of a joint—the arduous task for the artist is to set it right.”
I am pleased to share an essay I have written for @AsiaArtArchive on the avant-garde in the peripheries. It braids Black Atlantic, postcolonial Asian, and Soviet worlds into a shared thematic frame vis. Aimé Cesaire, Bishnu Dey, Marx-Zasulich, even Stalin.

Israel's massacre of Gaza last night was 1 of the biggest single day death tolls over the past 17 months: 404 killed—the majority of them children.
According to Dr. Zaher Al-Wahidi, Dir. of Information Unit at Ministry of Health in Gaza:
174 children
89 women
32 elderly
109 men
I am thrilled that Shezza Abboushi Dallal has taken up the legal case of Mahmoud Khalil. I knew Shezza since she was a little child. She was one of the most brilliant children I have known in my entire life; she grew up to be a brilliant academic/lawyer. I so believe in her.
“My husband was kidnapped from our home. I demand his immediate release and return to our family.”
The attorneys of Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil read a statement from his wife, who is eight months pregnant, outside the New York court in Manhattan.
1/ If you teach or work at @Columbia you should be striking, refusing/withdrawing your labor, marching, screaming, protesting, & doing everything you can to get Mahmoud Khalil released & sent home. We need you putting your body on the line now.
