This is absolutely horrifying. Automatic weapons, choke holds, zip ties. This is the violence Emory University is inflicting on its students.

Our newest post, 'On Dehumanization' is available now at towardliberation.com. I hope you'll take a look and join us on Tuesday, April 30 for our discussion of A Day in the Life of Abed Salama.

This book is required reading for anyone trying to understand the complexities of the family policing system! Check out Alan Dettlaff’s book and check out the upEND Movement

Supporting the police is supporting violence. And institutions of higher education across the country are complicit in this violence.

It has never been more clear that colleges and universities are simply an arm of the imperialist, carceral state.

Shame shame shame Princeton University. Two of our students arrested, evicted, and permanently barred from campus. There is nothing “inherently unsafe” about encampments. The university MAKES them unsafe by criminalizing tents and sending campus police to intimidate protestors.

'Mandatory reporting is another form of keeping us policed and surveillanced by whiteness.' From the brilliant MJ MJCF Coalition.

University policies are not laws. Violations of said policies is NOT a justification for mobilizing police and wielding state power to force campus stakeholders into compliance.

Doing so is a blatant and dangerous demonstration of fascist authoritarianism.

My latest piece with The Lighthouse, where I sat down with Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH of the The Thurman Perry Foundation to discuss the very real costs of the U.S. policing and carceral system... and what we could be doing better:

CONFIRMED: LAPD opened fire with potentially lethal riot munitions at USC pro-Palestine protesters that were violently forced off campus. This should be called a school shooting but it won’t be. instagram.com/reel/C6K9du2L2…

Copaganda is how we got here. It’s time everyone understand its impact

In case you missed this news, or it’s being intentionally misconstrued as solely about Ukraine, Joe Biden just signed a bill to send $26 billion to Israel.

PRESS RELEASE:
Columbia University Threatens Students with the National Guard After Refusing to Bargain in Good Faith.

We refuse to concede to cowardly threats and blatant intimidation by university administration. We will continue to peacefully protest. #cu4palestine

I've been thinking often of how we should begin to think of the Black Panther Party as the true origins of social work, in terms of what social work should truly be. Real social work provides care in whatever way care is needed - it does not expect compliance in a 'service' or…

I made a video because it's redundant to type out a response to essentially the same question every couple of weeks ('What about Trump?') when sharing that I won't be voting for Biden in the election.

Being a social worker is like being a janitor for capitalism. No amount of counselling will give my clients what they need - more money. I naively entered into a failing, racist and ableist system thinking I could help people. The reality is that the system is rotten to the core.

In case you haven’t seen this, the government of Israel is calling US students terrorists for exercising their right to free speech and their right to peaceful assembly.
