A true honor to be given a personal tour of the Cedric and Elizabeth Robinson Archives at UCSB by Elizabeth Robinson herself. BLACK MARXISM was one of the most important books I read in grad school, and I really admired the Robinsons’ combination of…

So, this happened. What an honor to meet and exchange autographed books with one of my literary heroes, Viet Thanh Nguyen, author of The Sympathizer and A Man of Two Faces. In his craft, principled stance on Palestine and decolonial writing, he’s a…

I still respect the form of a tightly-written, hot-white-angry colum banged out w equal parts racing passion and cogent analysis. Will Bunch is a master of this form, and this morning's is no excpetion. Worth your time if you you want some grounding about…

While we have your attention about the safety of journalists in harm’s way… Say her name: Amal Khalii. She was killed by US-Israel this week. She is one of 14 Lebanese journalists killed, and among nearly 300 killed in the Middle East since 2024.

“Notice a pattern?” Really amazing day at UCLA yesterday, guest teaching a class of 300 on protest & social movements + then debuting my talk on The Overseer Class. This slide shows how nearly ALL of the top cops at universities where I was reporting…

HUGE sigh of relief. “CPJ welcomes the news that Ahmed Shihab-Eldin has been acquitted by the Kuwaiti government. Full details are still being ascertained but his international legal team confirms that he has been found innocent of the charges and he is…

This is a total indictment of the non-profit industrial complex: "successful" non profits ending up as tools for for-propfits to do their evil shit. Susan Komen for the Cure pinkwashes KFC. StoryCorps listenwashes Campbell's soup. It's all bullshit! …
