“For me, there’s two reasons to be in solidarity with the people of Palestine. One is because they’re human beings and they’re being treated with absolute brutality. The other is a specific resistance to Israel as a nation-state.” Great talk between Fred Moten & Robin DG Kelley!

People don't go to prison because of accountability. They go to prison to be punished, statistically because of anti-Blackness, ableism, class, etc.

Ma’Khia Bryant and Adam Toledo deserved to grow up and do great things. How many more must die before we dismantle these systems of harm? The quote is from the powerful poem by @octo_page and her 6th grade students. It says so much more than I could ever say.

Teaching today was brutal. My first class of the day is a normally radiant & full-of-life 6th grade class. Today was heavy. We talked about Adam and being 13. Here's their collective poem

Thinking about George Stinney Jr who was 14 years old when murdered by the state in 1944. He was so small, they had him sit in the electric chair on top of a stack of bibles. They killed him and then called it "justice."
