This is my 15th year as a college professor. I’m not naive to or surprised by any of its agendas or devices yet, thanks to the “leadership” of my university, this has been the most repulsive and devastating two weeks of my entire career. I won’t recover. Neither will they.

#EverythingMan is 2 years old this month. Due to the negligence and disregard of so many, I lost 2 years-worth of community--those who would have made me smarter & joined in celebration. I'm thankful for those who've read & taught the work, & those who've discussed it in print...

Imagine having taken the time as a student and educator of African American Studies to teach and guide them on its traditions and promises only to see them fold in the face of white supremacy. In no way do I regret having ignored their call for participation. #BlackStudy

Lessons from #Verzuz : Black women and their vocal talents are not to be trifled with...even at 12 years old. The 90s shan’t be slept on. Collabos can make or break careers. New Jack was a beast. Talent is talent is talent. #BlackMusic is undefeated.

Bad professors. How entirely predictable and trite. What will the next lie be? Please settle into the reality that students have decided to no longer sacrifice their conscience, critical thinking or political compass for bourgeois aspiration. #copsoffcampus 🍉

The mayor has moved on from saying "outside agitators" infiltrated Columbia's protests to saying there could be a bad professor out there "radicalizing" students.

Another low point in the University’s assault on grad workers. There is no softer side of labor exploitation or worker suppression but I participated in multiple strikes “in my [TA] day” and never do I recall threats to my future job assignment. Unacceptable. #solidarity

Columbia is threatening to withhold teaching positions if student workers refuse to break the strike by Dec. 10. The hardship fund is a lifeline for many as we face yet another threat to our livelihoods. Help us hold the line: Donate

Being handcuffed to a bed while receiving medical attention in police custody is, as @pannocen demonstrates, routine for incarcerated women in labor. The logics of police practice require that the captured lose their humanity. #JacobBlake #abolition

“That was not my intent” is both a power play in the interest of silence and one of the least relevant statements of defense ever spoken.

“To the extent that #blackculture has a historic mission, and I believe that it does—its mission is to uncivilize, to de-civilize, this country. Yes, this brutal structure was built on our backs; but if that was the case, it was so that when we stood up it would crumble.” F.Moten

If your racial/social justice organization is not explicitly & insistently challenging homo/transphobia, you aren't doing the work.
