The Right in Tennessee wants you to know that they are once again excited to be blazing the fascist trail. All signs point to this next legislative session being filled with terror.
“Speaker Sexton has been at the White House working with Stephen Miller 😕on immigration bills. Tennessee will be the model.”
Rep. Jason Zachary (R) tells KNOXVILLE Republicans the supermajority will bully immigrants this session. (using #’s from an SPLC-designated hate group)

It was such a gift to be with students, faculty, and community members at Elon for the last few days. Dr. Maria Mejia and others across multiple departments and programs (Philosophy, Religion, History, English, more) are cultivating community-engaged scholarly + abolitionist community. More of this!
Last night, Elon’s Philosophy Department held its annual Reynolds lecture. Andrew Krinks spoke about the connections between religion, capitalism, and a carceral culture to a room packed with students, faculty, and community members. #ElonFaculty #ElonUniversity

"White Property, Black Trespass is more than an analysis of religion, racial capitalism, and the carceral state; it is also a tool for abolitionist scholars seeking to challenge the presumption that society 'needs' prisons and police."

This is a wonderful and right-on-time conversation. I especially loved the recognition that fear clarifies what we value that we don't want taken away, and the invitation to connect with our fear, without shame, to let it show us what we love, and then to "think about possibility from that space."
Aaron Goggans and I talk about what happens when movements start running on empty—how trauma, burnout, and dysregulation can shape our organizing, and what it takes to sustain ourselves and each other in a moment of crisis and emergency. I found this conversation so helpful, and I hope you will too.
Burnout Is Not Inevitable: Building Movements That Can Hold Us
“Care really should be at the center of our strategy, of our analysis, and of our practice,” says Aaron Goggans.

I'll be in North Carolina on Nov 12 to talk about criminalization, abolition, and political spirituality.
The talk will move somewhere between the book I already wrote (on the religious function of criminalization) and the one I'm trying to write next (on political spirituality and abolition).

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.
This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

The most recent gun manufacturer to relocate to Tennessee has direct ties to a military that a growing number of experts, a UN commission and other international groups have said is carrying out a genocide in Gaza.

That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other.

I've been trying—slowly, for months—to write something on what I'm calling 'holy racial class war', the long trajectory that creates the conditions for the present...to try to help us interpret it all. But the manifestations of it won't stop reproducing daily. Chill out for 1 min plz! Too much!!
