What happens when the child of a slave writes over the texts that conspired to kill their mother? Haunted by the headlines that dehumanized their mother even after her death, poet @victorianford scrapes the media record in order to answer the question.

The media’s obsession with my mother changed my relationship to grief.

I really need everyone to understand this timeline and where it is headed
A Congressman says mainstream Muslims should be “destroyed.” A Senator says Islam is not a religion and Muslims should be sent “home.” A NYC Councilwoman calls for the “expulsion” and “denaturalization” of Muslims. Fascist anti-Muslim bigotry is now explicit Republican policy.

"...a booming abolitionist movement... fails to ignite what is necessary: the full suspension of society's terms of order and the mass liberation of every prison captive." @colonizedlocal
In their latest, Scalawag’s own @DaShaunLH and @colonizedlocal deliver two powerful reflections on the life and legacy of Imam Jamil Al-Amin. In it, they re-center his and every other prison captive’s demand: Free them all now, by revolutionary means https://t.co/LsnbQFn4aZ

i am so happy this piece is finally out. one thing about it, i can always count on writing and thinking with @DaShaunLH to clarify the point at the heart of the matter. There’s no excuse for Imam Jamil nor any other captive to rot in prison with movements are this robust

In their lyrics, rappers and hip-hop artists have long reduced Tina Turner's abuse to a metaphor for violence, aggression, and dominance. Erasing the nuance of her lived experience stalls our collective understanding of domestic violence and abolition. https://t.co/gkuzzdO2pY

Fully reckoning with Turner’s legacy forces us to confront an uncomfortable fact: her trauma has often been mocked in the pop landscape that she helped create.

A wild/willful misreading of Marx. The bar is low for Chibber/Jacobin as it is but come on. Primitive Accumulation chapter, perhaps the shortest chapter in all 3 vols, is not reducible to Marx being rhetorical. That's nonsense. Here's Ch. 31: Genesis of the Industrial Capitalist
Despite what you may have heard, colonial plunder didn’t give rise to capitalism. In an interview with Jacobin, Vivek Chibber discusses why the “colonialism-created-capitalism” argument fails, and why Marxism provides a better account of its emergence.

The legacy of Imam Jamil al-Amin is instructional. It requires that we speak honestly, even when honesty costs us something.

Poultry plants, many of which rely on immigrant labor, already had high rates of occupational illness. The pandemic made everything worse. https://t.co/L5cNoCo7wR

Hard-to-trace staffing agencies have long funneled laborers to multibillion dollar corporations. The pandemic spotlighted who these murky arrangements hurt: immigrant workers.
