What are you reading this weekend?

I have been witness to this, and it has been extremely painful for me on a personal level. I’ve watched almost the entire Black leadership of my local Chicago AfroSOC chapter leave CDSA in the past year or so, and if it weren’t for the #DefundCPD campaign I’d be gone too.

Tonight we're celebrating 25 years at our gathering, Radical Journey, Powerful Futures! Since 1997, Third Wave has moved over $9.3 million towards resourcing gender justice movements across the U.S. and U.S. territories. Let's get more funds towards our GJ movements! #ThirdWave25

"Acknowledgement of history/presence of white supremacy, settler colonialism, & enslavement is only the beginning of uprooting them. We are moving towards paying 2.4% of our budget in rent to Indigenous groups, the rightful stewards of Turtle Island." – Monica Trinidad #ThirdWave25

"Third Wave Fund says to the queer and trans, disabled, and undocumented kid, that if you think that the world can be a radically different place, organized around people's human needs, yeah, we can actually do that." –Loan Tran, organizer & Advisory Council Co-Chair #ThirdWave25

"It's like a breath of fresh air to be interfacing with people who also have a disability justice lens. Just having that political understanding and meeting in that framework is so important and affirming." –Antoinette Chen-See of Fireweed Collective #ThirdWave25

Calvero @MrZachPeterson OME Re: leftist shit, people are loving Ruth Wilson Gilmore on The Dig, and The Lit Review Podcast and One Million Experiments from AirGo are very cool!

Very belatedly listening to Angela Y. Davis talking about Capital on The Lit Review Podcast and it’s 🔥

"We call for abolition of police because, despite all of the power, resources and legitimacy we pour into them, they cannot and will not deliver safety." —NYC Tw*tterati and Andrea Ritchie also @dreanyc123.bsky.social in #NoMorePolice, out now! Learn more and get your own copy: bit.ly/NoMorePolice

Every time I teach this book I am astounded by how useful it is to my students, how readable, how many important questions it helps us dive into. Grateful to @dmcguire13 for writing it and NYC Tw*tterati for telling me about it. Highly recommend. penguinrandomhouse.com/books/111678/a…

@ZakiyaChinyere Q for those who want to learn more - see the book "This Nonviolent Stuff’ll Get You Killed: How Guns Made the Civil Rights Movement Possible" by Charles E. Cobbs Jr. the The Lit Review Podcast podcast has a great ep summarizing and discussing the book: soundcloud.com/thelitreviewch…

On #TDOV, we're looking back to Season 1, Ep 33: Transgender History with author Susan Stryker. We chat about trans issues & resistance in the 80's, the pathologization of trans people, and why organizers should read this book. Transcript & audio links at: thelitreview.org/season1.html#e…
